Birthday Bliss

If anyone has ever been too spoiled on their birthday, I think I would qualify this year.
My friends went above and beyond in helping make it a memorable one!


 March 22nd - London day trip with friends
So thankful for the friends who helped me organize this day as well as had the insight to know what I would enjoy seeing and making it all happen.

 

We rode boris bikes in Hyde Park. While we were riding we got caught in a hail storm!
I found it increasingly hilarious as we were being beaten with the hail! Great memories!


March 24th- My Birthday


A lovely friend picked me up and took me out for the morning. We had delicious smoothies and browsed a few stores.
In the evening I had the honour of being joined by a group of friends for dinner at a pub. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by so many amazing people who I now have the privilege of calling friends.


April 26th- Surprise Road Trip for my birthday 

The Jane Austen House Museum

Two of my lovely friends picked me up. Destination unknown. I was truly enjoying every minute of the drive through the lovely countryside. And when we arrived to our destination, I think the smile and excitement came rushing up in a matter of a second. Joyful was how I was for the rest of the day. So beautiful, so quaint, the perfect way to spend a day with friends. Thank you girls!

If adventure will not befall.

"If adventure will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad." -Jane Austen In a moment everything can change I know this full well Yet, I find myself, even still, in a state of utter disbelief that this is my reality To the person who saw that my roots ran deep and my feet were planted That recognized that my growth was stunted. Who spoke into who she knew I could be and saw what I was capable of. Thank you.  For your vote of confidence. Speaking life into a dream that was in my heart For taking the well loved and cared for, potted flower & moving it into a new place where growth could continue Giving me the courage and the safely to know I was loved no matter where home became. I had no idea my life could be as it is Remember the days when you spoke so sure about how things would be and always would be...? You know, the things that are absolutes in your life, in your ignorance and innocents of youthful pride "I will neve...

A day without rain

Well family and friends, it has been one week of being here in the UK in intern mode.  I believe my body is almost in UK time... although mornings can be a bit difficult, lets be honest, mornings have never been my thing ;) Apparently as I arrived, so did the change of weather, rain arrived making each day changeable from moment to moment.  'Oh look, it's sunny!' 2 minutes later, down pouring. Makes for a bit of concern while walking, never knowing if you should be prepared for a sudden down pour. But I signed up for this, so no real complaining from me.... just getting adjusted to things. For example, sayings and words you should be using. I have to say, I have had to ask many time what people are saying to me, or, what exactly they have asked me to do. The words they use, so different! But then, I also have funny saying and words that they in turn need me to clarify and it has been rather amusing. I have yet to really go any where beyond the coffee shop, church and my h...

An Open Letter to the Bride To Be...

Dearest Katie, I still remember when you were a little girl. If I came to say hello to you at recess, you would always greet me with a running hug. You were my little cousin. You wanted so badly to be our friend, but the years between us created a separation. What a privilege to be a volunteer youth leader when you started at Youth group. I watched you dream, aspire and achieve. You discovered your gifts, talents and things that excited your heart. Those were the years I saw you transform from a little girl into a beautiful young lady. A young lady who I grew to admire. Whose maturity, integrity, wisdom, love and generosity were well beyond her years. Eventually the chasm between us in age became less important and the shift happened. You went from ‘my little cousin’ to my friend. Friend. We dreamed. We laughed. We drove cars through the country roads and explored Ontario. You humoured my love for all things Jane Austen, which became a slow trickle that built a well ...
