Wow, my brain has been completely dead this last little while. No inspiration for blog entries whatsoever. Folks you'll have to excuse my blog tardiness for a few days as i get back into the swing of things.
In the meantime.....www.pipesmokingprof.blogspot.com.....here's some pretty super writing.

Camping? Again? YAY!
The last two weeks have flown by! One minute i was just getting home from camping and the next i'm dying to be out of this polluted, busy, headache-inducing city as fast as i possibly can.
Paul Lake or bust!!
So tomorrow morning, bright and early, i'll be up and ready to go. Only i'll probably have to wait around for Heather to finish packing her bags and then i'll probably be stopped by Dad and made to help lift the boats onto the back of the truck, by which time it will be noon, and then i'll probably remember something important that i've forgotten to pack......oh it could take hours!
And speaking of hours......i'm not really looking forward to the drive up there. mind you, the weather is cooler than usual. and thats good. but still, 4 1/2 hours? minimum?
THIS IS GOING TO BE FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
see you in two weeks!!

Home
So after 7 hours of boring travel i finally arrived home again on Friday night. Why 7 hours? Well for starters, Becs and I were stuck in traffic from Abbotsford to the Port Mann for 3 stinkin hot hours, and then i had to drive all the way through hot traffic infested Vancouver to Kitsilano to drop Becs off at home. That part wasn't so bad, just the traffic was horrible, and then i had to brave the roads of Vancouver AGAIN and drive all the way back to Burnaby, stopping at Lordco for a fuse, to my house.
One highlight: i actually changed the blown fuse in my car and had music for about the last 15 minutes of the drive. so good. i was pretty impressed with my mad skills (thanks to Sam).
Camping was exhausting but really fun. Volleyball every day and Cribbage! The weather was hot and sunny the entire week, i burned my shoulders and got about a million mosquito bites but it was so worth it. Laughing Circle, the lighthouse, the waterfalls, the new dock, swimming, sleeping in the middle of the field, walking, taking stupid pictures, hardcore hemping, the sports and game tournaments, the lack of bees and grasshoppers (and the presence instead of mosquitos), campfires at night, chubby bunnies, killer bunnies, dogs running circles around each other and knocking down stuff (grrr), relaxing and doing nothing, capture the flag, so many awesome memories!!!
And to think, in just 11 days i get to do it all over again at Paul Lake!!
hope to see you there!

Beach
Well I'm finally off to the beach tomorrow, the first time we'll been there for the whole day! I'm pretty stoked because it means I get to work on my tan before I go camping (which is only 11 days away!!! :D SUPER STOKED), or most likely my burn.
Sand, Sun, Water, Food, Volleyball, FUN TIMES!
So if you're in Vancouver just come down and join us anytime!
Oh and happy early Canada Day......

Guttering and Scrubbing
So guess what i get to do on my day off?
WAKE UP EARLY!
CLEAN THE GUTTERS!!
SCRUB THE DECK!!!
DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH!!!!
ok so maybe not so bad as all that, my mom is the one cleaning the gutters and climbing all over the roof because i'm hiding down in the basement avoiding her....
but pretty soon she'll be screaming for me to come help her scrub the deck.
*sigh*
and as for the dying a horrible death part, well thats just me being all melodramatic.
on a more serious note, RIP Meeks, it was a privilege to be taught by you!

Life in God's Plan
Sometimes i wish i actually was in University. Like when friends are leaving for far off schools or just found out they've been accepted somewhere, and i think oh that would be such an adventure. And i become disatisfied with my work and disappointed that God hasn't called me to something more glamorous or exciting than just working as a cashier.
But God is faithful when you are obedient to His Will, hard as it may be. We come out the other side a bit different, closer to God, more like Him.
Even though it's difficult (very much so), i know that what i'm doing right now (working) is what God has asked me to do. So by the grace of God i will persevere. Be it weeks, months, years, even the rest of my life!
So if you were thinking of asking me what i'm going to be doing in the future.....think again because i don't know!!
