well wow

Well, wow, I must say I am exhausted. I have had quite the evenful summer since I've been back in Canada. I had the poison ivy for two weeks at camp. All I have left now are some scars on my legs. I finished up camp this week with a really great life guard, Danielle, who I clicked really well with. I have a week before I start my new job!! I was bombarded with interviews as soon as I was on Canadian soil. I applied for a few jobs and there was one I actually wanted, a marketing position for International Trade Canada. Anyways, I was offered a few jobs right on the spot which was stressful becuase they weren't the one that I wanted. So when the co-op office called me Tuesday two weeks ago to tell me I have "formal offers" and I had to either accept them or decline them in 24 hrs and neither of those were from the ITC job either... I didnt know what to do! I had prayed for God's will and I was so confused because I didn't know if God was saying "be patient, I will provide" or if He was telling me He had a different job in mind for my fall. So I asked if the office had heard back from ITC at all (maybe offering some one else the job, which would make my decision easier!) But they hadn't. So I said I would accept the job with United Way if they didn't hear back from ITC in the 24hrs. and wouldn't you know it... ITC called withint those 24 hrs and wanted to offer the job to me. So I will be working in down town Regina this fall for ITC in a marketing position. YAY!!! I'm so happy!

And in this week, I have many errands to accomplish before Julie's wedding, before I start a job, before I register for a night class this semester... oh man, so much to do! But I'm sure things will be fine if I can't get everything done. oh yes, exciting things are happening. showers galore for Julie, decisions I have to make about my future,and finding time to see eye doctors and family doctors before I get too busy.

Ole came to visit me today. what a great highlight. What a crazy guy. It was very nice to see him again. Oh Bible school.... I wish I could re-live that year over and over again. wow.

Tee Hee!

Thanks Kortney!

Now that I'm feeling loved, I guess I should write more. I got home from Oz with an entire TV crew waiting for me at the airport... ok... so they weren't waiting for me. But dado got them to point their cameras at me so I would think I was on TV. They were really there for the red paper clip guy who's plane was scheduled to come in right after ours. Had a day to sleep and "recover" and then started a St. Johns first aid course. After that was done I had 3 job interviews for my co-op job in September. That afternoon I flew with my family to visit relative in Ontario!! And I had SUCH a good time as I always do when I get to see my cousins, auntie, uncle, and grandparents. Got back to Regina and my luggage sure didn't make it. So I had to re-think my outfit to wear at Larry Girl's wedding as I was her guest book person (which is not a very hard job). Larissa's wedding was Sunday and then it was off to camp on Monday. I am now back from my first week of camp for the summer. three more to go! I was at conestoga... which means it's the teen campers and we sleep in covered wagons and such. It was a really really amazing week and I'm SO tired today. and yes. I did get poison ivy again. and yes, i am still allergic to it. the entirety of my shins and calves are covered with tiny bumps excpt for the few spots that are big white hard blister type things. NOT COOL! and my knee is still bothering me... so wide games were quite the challange. anyways, this week I'll be lifeguarding at the main pool, so I should be far away from any more poison ivy. this week will be a junior week too, so that means I will not be needed to teach swimming lessons. so it will be fun to have a little less responsibility than I did this week (with lifeguarding and cabin leading). Yes! So I'm back at home and almost all settled in. And yes, I'm still really good at keeping busy.

Hey Kortney, how are wedding plans??
