Dan Dan Anyone?

Today after church my family and I went to the new restaurant Wok Box in the Wal Mart plaza. I have been there before, and this was my second time going. The food is always fabulous. Today I decided to have the spiciest thing in the restaurant and ordered Dan Dan. Now, I am a spice person and can tolerate spice to a pretty high degree. I just love spicy food. This Dan Dan was so spicy that I actually had a tear run down my cheek, made me drink 2 glasses of coke and half a glass of milk. The wonderful taste kept me coming back for more! It was delicious. I had probably eaten 1/8 of my Dan Dan before I decided that I would save some for later. If you haven't gone to Wok Box yet, I would suggest you go and try it out because they continue to amaze me! 

I'm Ready

The tree is up. I'm all dressed up. The Christmas baking is lined up on the kitchen counter. The fire is going. The shopping is done. I think it is pretty easy to say that me and my family are ready for Christmas this year. The wait is finally over! It seem like Christmas came SO fast this year, but my Grandpa yesterday said "It came as fast as every other year." In about half an hour me and my gang are going to head to the church for the first Christmas Eve service of the night. At 6:00pm we will make our way up Mt. Washington with Jay and Kels to go to another Christmas Eve service identical to the first one. Did you know that throughout our 3 campuses there are all together 5 Christmas Eve services? (Including the one up the mountain.) I don't know about you but I am pretty excited about tomorrow! And if you're not excited (Ebenezer) well you are just going to have to deal with going through a lovely morning opening presents with family and finishing the day off with a well cooked turk. Mmmm! After the services tonight we are going to have our Christmas Eve tradition: eat snakies with friends and family. Then after everybody else goes home (the people who don't stay at our house anyway) all the kids, meaning Emerson, Hudson and I, open up brand new pajamas. 

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas celebrating our king! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Eve of Christmas Eve!

Tomorrow... the day we have all been waiting for... IS CHRISTMAS EVE! Well, actually we've been waiting for actual Christmas day, but Christmas Eve is pretty wonderful too right? Well I think so. Today was great. I finished my shopping (except for the people I will have to buy something for AFTER Christmas) and I feel pretty good about that :D oh, but right now I have to go because somebody that will remain un-named has to finish shopping and I offered to go along with that person so TTFN! 

SNOW DAY!

Today is our first snow day of the year! It is pretty amazing because it isn't that snowy here, but in Merville, its crazy! So yeah I am pretty excited! I am planning on going Christmas shopping today too with Mik. :D That should be fun... other than the fact I am blowing all of my money. LOL just kidding :P. So yeah that is my day so far! Until next time!!!

Let it Snow!

It is finally snowing! Its mid-December and we are in the midst of our second snowfall! I have been waiting for this for so long and now it has finally come! Snow amazes me, it is so cool to know that no two snowflakes are the same! God is just to awesome to make the same thing twice! Wow. When you think of that, there are 1,000,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000's of snowflakes, and NO TWO ARE THE SAME! It is so hard to wrap our human brains around it. But if we could, we would be God, and well WE ARENT. So anyways, last night was the all nighter at Comox Pentecostal Church. We had their youth group and our youth group together and it was pretty awesome! There was, a service, games, a movie, sleep time NOT! So yeah it was really great. Oh yeah, we also had a secret santa/ legal steal game with everybody and that was fun too. I ended up with a 5 dollar bill. And that, I can tell you is better than a chocolate bar with almonds in it, especially if you are in my case: Allergic to almonds. :D Well I have to go 'clean my room' or as my dad would say it: "You have to do something Mercedes, and it rhymes with clean your broom" So bye bye blog readers, until next time!

Today...

I always LOVE Wednesdays because we have 3 easy classes out of 5. Here is my Wednesday Schedule : Math: Drama: English: Music: HCE:

So it was a pretty amazing day and it is not even over yet! This morning at 5:57 Amy's water broke, she is in labor now and I am so excited! Tonight at youth, we have Deanna leading worship which will be amazing! And Daniel is going to preach, its going to be so awesome! So anyway as some of you know, our family just recently got a new espresso machine. I don't think it has been posted on anyone in the houses blog yet so I am going to put up a pic. It is so nice! Its also really easy to use because you don't even have to use tamps (its the thing that pushes down the espresso so that it is firm so that that shot it nice) it automatically does that for you and the shots are SO nice! So yeah just a glimpse of my day :D

Toodles!

Creative Project

So, today is already the 9th of December. WOW. Okay, well in Bible class we have to do this project creatively and present it in front of the class. And I am in a group of three (Me, Mik and Chels) We have been working really hard on it and I think we have a pretty good shot at getting a good mark :D Everybody in the class is doing a project based on one of the B-Attitudes (Matthew 5: 1-9 or 10...) Our group is doing verse 6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." So I can probably explain it more once we have written our explanation for the presentation, and I think I would maybe get clobbered or something if I put up pictures now :P SO maybe after we present I can post some up. 

iPhone what an amazing device

Well tonight me and my family went to The Three Stooges house warming party, and so we got to go and basically look throug h their new house (Randy, Ryan and Matt) and eat food! So me and Chelsea were just sitting down and talking and we were talking about iPhones and then she asked if we could play around with my moms new one. So I ran and got it and we had so much fun playing with it for like literally 45 minutes on the stairs downloading free games :D Our favourite one that we downloaded was an air hockey one were to sides could play and it was really fun. Even though we were accused of texting boys.... we still had a bunch of fun!

Well hello all of the world (actually not all of the world, only like your office or den or lap or desk) Today was a fabulous day. I have nothing in particular that I wanted to blog about, well actually I kind of do. On Tuesday, Laurel (one of me buddies) turned 14. It was also Cadre and we had this great little (BIG) party for her where my cake did look the best if I do say so my self... (Sorry Samantha :P) So yeah I told her I was going to blog about it but I didn't really get around to it until now. So, lets start my day in complete order I'll try to remember everything well not everything but as much as I can you know, remember.

6:30- My alarm goes off for the first time and I hit it the average 2-3 hits per day
6:50- I finally lug myself out of my fantastic bed that is just SO much cozier in the morning for some strange reason...
7:41- I start making a chai nisto with gingerbread, but it end up taking m like 9 minutes... and then me and my brothers have to hurry out the door so we don't miss the bus...
AVERAGE BUS ARRIVAL TIME- Well we did end up waiting for some time in the freezing weather because even though we have to "be at the bus stop at 7:50" she does'nt even get there until like 7:57 so my siblings and I, Steph and Mellissa have to wait in the cold for a whole 7 minutes (except on days like this one)
8:45 Aprox- We (the bus) arrive at the school and start watching the life of Jesus for devo's
9:15- We start learning about triangles
After math we then moved on to english....
Then we moved on to french where I was reminded that laughing/giggling in french is ' rit'
We then had lunch break, and then me and some of my friends (Mandy, Mikayla, Laurel and Chelsea) Skipped around the chip trail singing the song we made up while leaving Ms. Baileys room. It goes something like this...

Why?! Why are you leaving my roooooooom!? Why are you leaving my roo oo oooom oooo ooo oom oh why!

We always try to harmonize it but it never really turns out the way we want it to. :D
Then back to English! Where I was kind of distracted talking to Chels.
THEN BACK TO MATH for the SECOND time today. By the middle of the class I couldn't really seem to focus, and was giggling about nothing and saying I was sick of math and couldn't wait until Jan. (We end our grade 8 math 'adventure' then)
2:50 - We pack up and load onto the bus and I sit down with Mikayla and we talk for the whole ride straight. If you have never been on a bus that is what you do with your friends for the 30-45 minutes you are aboard.

I got home, messed around with my hair, then went on facebook (duh) and then the Craig and Shanda Millar's came for dinner with Alexandra, Anika and Alaina and it was fun! We played with our new coffee machine and well it was yummy... I am going to go now because well I am just plain bored with telling you guys about my day. Maybe another time
