Bleh.....


Its been a while since my last post, so i figured i'd share what has happened the past couple weeks.

On Saturday March 15th, John Paul was here speaking. We had an awesome night of worship with Kelly, Hannah, and the band. Tom and Nadine were also here and that was just a treat. I love them ever so much.

On Sunday March 16th, The whole Streams tribe went to the Tsawwassen Long House to protocol the first nations of Canada. It was incredible. To be in the actual long house itself is a miracle. The Queen was denied entry, but we got to go, and on top of that, we were invited back anytime. They fed us some really tasty food and it was just fun to sit inside this amazing structure with wood burning stoves and great company. I'll remember that all my life.

The following week was spent restoring ourselves. All the while i was continuing to build friendships with people from church.

On Monday March 24th, also known as yesterday. 7 of the girl interns went to Dairy Queen and then ransacked the boys house twenty minutes before curfew. We tip toed in quietly and then once all inside ran through their house screaming and moving things around. Five minutes later, we all left. It was hysterical, none of them expected it.

Tomorrow is the last day of the internship, come Thursday i am no longer a Streams Intern. It a bit sad knowing that it will be a while before i see some people again, but it will be okay. It will be interesting to see if any romances blossom after Wednesday. I doubt there will be, but God only knows, a couple or two might come from left field. I guess we'll see. Bye for now. :)

Duck Saliva On My Shoe

Today was a great way to end a week, or start of one if you'd like to think of it that way. I woke up early and had a fabulous breakfast with a great friend named Tara, before church. Church was ever so lovely, as always. After Church i was running on maybe 5 hours of sleep and incredibly hyper. Just in case you would like to know hyper; i was sliding down hand rails, sitting in the middle of the street/parking lot, running, jumping, and skipping around everywhere. I'll tell ya, i scared myself....

Tara and Hannah(my roomie) we went out to lunch, but before we actually found a place, i bought flowers for a guy. I then realized that guys + flowers...not so much. I don't understand why, but men dont like receiving flowers, i think it a role reversal thing they're not quite ready for.

Anyhoo, after we gave these flowers to this guy(which started as a crazy joke from me), we drove around trying to find a place to eat and everywhere we went, something was wrong. We finally ate at the ABC Country and it was there where we put our revelators to work. I felt as though i needed to say something to our waitress who's name happened to be Ashley. I simply encouraged her, because she was indeed doing a great job handling all those tables. I then proceeded to tell her how beautiful she was and it made her day to the point of tears. It was magnificent. Hannah then interpreted a dream she had. We left with full bellies and happy hearts....after turning down free ice cream, silly us.

After reading the title and everything previously mentioned, you're probably wondering what any of that has to do with duck saliva on my shoe. We ended up going to the bird sanctuary in Ladner. It was there where Tara and Hannah put bird seed at my feet and watched the ducks swarm, like a hungry swarm of ducks, towards my feet. That is how i received duck saliva on my shoe. Its quite gross.
