ok, i know, it's time. it's past time. it was time like 2 weeks ago. my only excuse is that i've been house sitting an air-conditioned-but-internetless house for the last couple of weeks and coming to my parents non-air-conditioned-internet house was not very appealling in the +40 weather we've been having. today though i'm at home working & thought i'd take a break and update you all....plus it's cooled down today to a lovely +26. you know something is seriously wrong when +26 is cool. but my final push back into updating this blog was the lovely helen wilson :) i feel really bad about not updating all you guys on the other side of the world. but i'm BACK, and i'm going to try SOOOOO hard to keep this puppy up!

so i suppose the major updating goes back to june 30-july 15. that was when i ventured out to vancouver with the Flying V's (the official name of our mission trip group) ok, where do i begin? maybe i'll start by saying i love our group. Mmm! we were all friends before leaving, but spending this much time together, doing the things we did & having this much fun made us tight. i don't have time right now to talk about what we all did, but i'll post some pictures here for your enjoyment :)
