Wow so much to say -- So much to tell !

Life has been crazy lately. Complete with phone interviews, a birthday kidnapping to Regina as well as a slight car accident ... (no worries all parties involved were not hurt ) anyway on with the news .....

So as most of you know, I have been looking into a position over in London England working with the inner city youth in that area. I had plan at first to only go for 6 months (May to Oct) so i filled out the paper work and sent it in . 2 months- ish went by and i herd nothing so I started to think well maybe I should look into something else. The second week of Jan came and I got an email saying 'sorry for the inconvince but we think you should consider for a year placement. I said I would and pray on it and get back to them. A week later I said 'ok lets do this' :) Last Tuesday the main office in London called me and I had a hour and a half interview and they said that they would get back to me on Feb 4 with an offer -- So at 10am this morning I found out that I have in fact been accepted for a year long position in England - starting in September !! I have to raise the support to do this - however I know the money will come and the Lord will provide - everything I will need :)

Around the middle of January was 'the ever popular "camp Days" * DUN DUN DUN * - the concept - 50+ camps come and try and convince you to think about working for them over the summer ... For 5 years I had walked around talked to reps but never applied simply because of school and loans and stuff - This year - I took the chance and applied - I mean I am done and all graduated in April - and after the flop that was last summer I figured the worse thing they could say is ..... 'ummm how about no' So I have been in contact with them a few times and today - about 20 minutes before England I was offered the job of helping teach photography / photo shop - from may 4 - the end of August! This also means I am free and around to go to Sherrie and Erik's wedding :) (already have that weekend booked off )

What else is there -- oh ya this past weekend, I was a friend's 22 birthday like all good college kids a group[ of us decided to kidnap/blindfold her and take her to Regina for Supper before church. So the original plan was to have multiple cars going to moose jaw from caronport - as this was our first stop... it turns out however that we had to cars but one was in Moose jaw waiting for us to get there. So right now we had a 4 seater car and 6 people to get to Moose jaw - good thing Sask has crazy laws that state if all seatebelts are in use you can put as many people in the car with you as you can fit. Once we got to Moose jaw things became a little more roomy we switched around who was in what car so she could not guess was with her - and headed off about 45 minutes in I had switched to the second car- and he hit a snowy patch - that landed us in the ditch ..... if it wasn't for the 3 feet of snow we slammed into we would have rolled ! We weren't there long however - when a nice big truck came by and pulled us out of the ditch. After that it was clear - we got to Moxies and had dinner and then church. All and all an awesome time !

So this ends my massively large post
