tomorrow is the day. we finally hop in the vans and get on our way down to Mexico! I am so excited!!! I still need to pack... oh dear... I should probably finish that soon. I probably wont be able to blog for the next 2-ish weeks, so to all my fans out there... adios! Pray for us! It's going to be amazing!!!

Guess what? I am officially the first person to follow Miranda's blog! So if you wanted to be the first one... well to bad. You can check out her blog at <www.mirandadonovan.blogspot.com> So anyways, my day has been going pretty good so far. Last night the school had the 30 hour famine, and I participated in that. It was great, we played a bunch of games, had a photo scavenger hunt, went bowling, and sang worship songs and had time with God. OH MY GOODNESS! If you have never had the privilege of participating in a CVCS 30 hour famine, you would have never been able to taste the most fantastic bread ever! Mrs. Tansky was working all day yesterday, and boy did it pay off! It was so light and fluffy, and paired with the hamburger soup that the grade 10's made... mmm! Bon a'petite!

Long Time No Talk

Well.. I have been kind of well slacking in the blogging world. Sorry guys :D Well tonight is youth and I am super stoked! It's going to be awesome. Oh my goodness I am SO excited for Mexico! WE are leaving in eight days (I FOR SURE am counting) Keep that in your prayers, for the changes that will happen in Mexico, and for the team that we continue to build relationships with each other and that we are safe the whole way there, and the whole way back. I finally have my blog figured out! It's been a few weeks kind of 'under construction,' because I didn't really know what I wanted, and kept switching back and forth. And now my header works too. Until next time!

YAY!

WOO HOO! MEXICO IS IN 10 DAYS!!!

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my father's birthday (can you believe next year he'll be 40?!). And I wanted to say how much I appreciate him and everything he does.

• He is an amazing pastor
• He is a phenomenal Dad
• He is always always there if I ever need to talk
• He is caring
• He is hilarious
• He is probably the best Kraft Dinner maker ever
• He always encourages me and my brothers
• He gave me spankings (Thank the Lord!)
• I am so glad that he is my father and that I am his daughter (Father-Daughter!)
• He is always there to give me a hug
• He cares so much about Gods plan for me
• He seems to remember everything that he ever learned in school and helps me with my homework if I am not getting it

My Dad is so amazing. I love him loads. These are only a few of the amazing things about my dad. Happy Birthday Dad. I love you!!

P.S. If I could get my dad ANYTHING in the world it definitely would be the Handy Dandy Clicker! Read the following in a classic commercial/peppy voice.

"Are you stressed out with the infinite spelling errors and powerpoint problems at your church? Do you get fed up with having problems occurring on stage? Well, if so, you need the Handy Dandy Clicker! This amazing device can solve all of your problems, AND MORE. Say you see on the screen the word "Holy" being spelt "holey," simply take the lazer at the top of the clicker and scan over the word. On the Handy Dandy Keyboard, quickly type the proper spelling and click! Problem solved. Another great feature of the Handy Dandy Clicker, is that if powerpoint "can't make the point," the easy functioning clicker can go through the slides like nobody's business. It is simply is amazing. Also, this device can be used for texting! Simply type in the word-ical (not numerical) into the keyboard, and then text all you want! You can get this amazing device in all the stores with red roofs and plastic windows. Take a break, get the Handy Dandy Clicker!"

Now say/read in a very low and quick voice

"Handy Dandy Clicker is not responsible for any physical problems caused by the clicker, and can only be used in East Africa. Batteries not included."

Happy Birthday Dad I love you!
