Count your blessings...

...name them one by one.

On my drive home tonight, I was thinking just how lucky I really am.

I truly have a blessed life.
I have amazing friends.
I have friends who I have known forever who know me inside and out. We have had fights, misunderstandings and even though we don't see each other as much anymore, I know they love me and that I love them.
I have friends who are newer and older. They accept me for who I am and never treat me as any less of a person or belittle my opinions just because I am younger. They amaze me and teach me so much. Thank you for opening my eyes about life, love, and faith and for "not interfering". Without you my life would not be the same

I have an amazing boyfriend.
He loves me for me. Ian has never once asked me to become a different person or change in anyway. My happiness is always at the top of his list and I know how incredibly lucky I am to have him. He is my best friend, my other half, and even though this sounds cheesy...He completes me. I can only hope that he knows how much I love him and that I would do anything for him.

I have an amazing family.
My family has always encouraged me and shown me that I can be whatever I want to be. They love me unconditonally and pick me up when I am down. My mother is a wonderful person who has shown me so much and I am proud to say that I am a mini version of her. Speaking of mini versions: Samatha you are a young woman now and I am so in awe of you and how you have grown. My dad is the strong silent type, always there when you need help and it is a relief to know that he is there.

In short, I have a wonderful life. There are tough times but with these people I know that I can make it through. Thank you all so much and I am so blessed that God has put you in my life to help me grow :D

Holy Hades

It is so hot. I never thought that on a beautiful day such as today that I would want to be at work but I was so grateful for air conditioning. It is like a sauna outside and it is making me want to go to on my vacation so bad. I can't wait to go swimming in the lake and doing all that great stuff.

In other news (still very important news): The Oilers play tonight and I am quite pumped about it :D Can we make it 4 wins in a row? We will find out tonight.

Go Oilers

The return of the comments

Well I thought that you were all ignoring me
You thought that I was ignoring you.

Wow were we both wrong. I am just dumb and have no fixed my blog comments because I love all of you people and value all that you say so you are free to post without me having to approve it :D

Thanks for all the positive comments :D

Long Time...No Post

Well, perhaps I should post something. Since my life isn't that exciting perhaps I will post a little about my life.

I have been conditionally accepted to the University of Alberta...While I am 85% that my marks are high enough to get in (even get a scholarship hopefully). There is always that scary 15% that I won't.

I am working "full-time" and it sucks already...but what can you do? I need money and I don't want to pay rent so work it is. Waiting for my holidays to start.

My boyfriend was here this weekend. I am not sure what is behind his facsination with hats of all shapes and sizes but according to his mom he has had it since he was little.
Here are some of his latest styles:

Remember ladies...He is all mine :p

We also had Fuel this weekend and had 2 special guests. The first special guests were a choir from Kamloops. They were amazing and at the end of Fuel they did a praise and worship song...an oldie but it was really good. The second guest was Ron "Goldie" McClendon and he had a really great talk about putting God first. Here is a picture of Beth, Jonah and Goldie:
