Day.40-43 - Just Passed the 6 Week Mark.
Tues - Friday what did I do? in short I played video games, watched movies, played guitar, facebooked, ya thats really about it. I don't go out much because since I cant put pressure on my leg, well it's just easier if I dont go anywhere. Scott came over on thurs though and we played star wars! :) so fun! ive never played that game before but I def enjoyed it. We watched a few episodes of Last Man Standing, it was a pretty decent show. He went home and I went to bed. I think thursday was the most exciting day of my week. However im getting quite sick of doing the same thing over and over again, however that is about to change. For my paramedic stuff, well im taking my HCP certificate now on sept.11! and than ill be taking an EMR Bridge Course from sept.17-19 and 25-27 from Frontline First Aid and Emergency Training. I figured I might as well get a refresher course in since I'm starting to apply for the JIBC PCP Program next yr and the application has to be sent in sometime between sept.4-oct.19 and so once I do that, hopefully I get in and voila my career as a paramedic can take off! however for one of the things that was a requirement was a physical assessment test. Now the issue as all of you know is that I cant walk right now and im in awful shape. So I thought I was screwed but God is good and I emailed them and explained my dilema that I couldnt have it done by that time because of this, they said that as long as I send it in before Nov.26 I'd be okay. I was super happy when I heard that! So it might actually work out after all! Now its time to do all the application. Well at least I have time considering I spend most of my time on the couch! Woohoo that is this week.
these are some pictures I took this week of sunsets! I thought I'd share them with y'all!
I really like the sky in this one!
Cheerio! :)

Day.37-39
Sat came around and what did I do? I actually cant really remember...im pertty sure I played video games, I attempted to play taylor swift songs on the guitar...I really suck at the strumming. cords are fine for me, its strumming that gets me everytime! I hung out with Scott that day, i took the bus to kelowna and I went for 6 to hang out with him till he finished work. He was closing but I ran into Mike instead and we ended up talking which is awesome! Mike is one of Scott's best friends and I enjoyed getting the chance to talk to him and get to know him just a little bit better! than Scott finished and we just chilled at his house, watched some community. we finished season 3 and i love that show! I highly reccommend it! than he drove me home and that was that.
Sunday I went to church and it was Steve and Heidi`s last time there as they are going back to Israel again for the coming up yr! Ima gonna miss them but thats really cool there going there for various things. I just chilled at home the rest of the day and my parents came home from Florida about 7 in the evening and that was nice to see them! My brother arrived home from his work at 230am as they had to drive all the way from where he was working out of.
Monday I hung out with my parents, we went to Kelowna and I had my orthopedic appointment. They were running an hr behind. I was suppose to be in at 115 but I got in at 2 instead and so that was okay, it was only a 15 min appointment. So 1hr and 15min of waiting for a 15min appointment, as I had to be there half an hr early! I found out I broke my fibula. I came out with good news, bad news and awful news. awful news - the doctor that saw me said he wouldnt of given me the instructions I got given the time I was there 4 weeks ago and because of that there has been a lot of rotation on my ankle area and the bone really hasnt done much at all...its improved a bit but it should of done more in 4 weeks and so that was kinda sucky to hear. the xrays they took looked almost identical to the ones 5 weeks ago! :( bad news - i have to keep pressure of my leg for 2 weeks, until at least my next orthopedica appointment on sept.4. its gonna be weird because im use to walking on my robo leg and so now I cant walk on it. good news - I have a note from the doctor that I can return to work on "light duties" and beside it, it says no weight bearing. so by the looks of it I will be sitting on a stool only and staying there for my time at work since I can only do production that way. im happy though cause at least I get the chance to earn some money so thats nice!
after I got to see my brother for a bit since he was around and that was lovely! than later on I took the bus to Kelowna and met up with Scott. at Kelly O's they have a 2 for 1 appy deal on after 9 so we went there and met up with Mike/Kaitlyn(engaged), Andrew/Caroline(dating), and so the way we ended up sitting was the girls on one side and the boys on the other side facing the girls. We ordered food and I had chicken lips and pachos! so good!!! :) he than drove me home and that was that! that was my most intresting Monday.
pachos are sooo good! Scott loves them, there his favorite food I think!
and thats the restaurant! so good! I highly reccommend it!
cheerio! :)

Day.35-36 Last 2 Days of VBS!
well thurs was a huge crazy day for me. i got up early, got ready for VBS. was expecting to come back before heading off to kaylas for the party but it ended up i went straight from the church to her house. anyways got to VBS and it was an awesome day like usual!
doing some more crafts with the kids! there colouring today!
playing some volleyball!
my group of gr.2's getting ready to toss waterballons to the other teams towels!
tyler with a little water balloon! she is so cute!
and all the kids are running to try to get the water ballon that was thrown up in the air!
this is what we learned this week!
me and ty :)
we had a guest speaker who spoke about flying cars!
than she used some kids to tell a story from the bible!
it was overall a good day. i really really love doing vbs! its great!
than instead of coming to get me at 2, there was a change of plans and so kayla picked me up at the church so no time for a shower or anything. i just grabbed my stuff and than on to kaylas house to chill out till party time! woohoo! it was a good day. we went out on the boat than back to kaylas for a bbq! 20 is a big age...i would know considering im 20...still dont feel like it though.
me and laura chilling in the boat!
laura and mike! :) so cute!
fiona and nicole chillin in the front!
kayla pushing the boat out from shore! thats the birthday girl!
they look like a band - aaron, fiona, kayla and laura!
doing some wakeboarding!
and cliff jumping was fun to!
kayla and justin! :) so cute also!
the boys...attempting to make an "oreo" well a backwards one.
playing some games! twas fun
the bbq was great and we had angel food cake. i was sad though cause i really couldnt go in the water which means i couldnt swim, cliff jump, or wakeboard. o well, it was just fun to be hanging out with ppl and having a good time! being out of the house! i didnt get home till sometime before 2. raj drove me home! im so glad he could! and than i went to sleep! woke up and got ready for VBS. of course i was exhasted from the night before so it took me about half way through the VBS to actually wake up! but it was the last day! so fun!
doing the last craft!
me and ella :)
they sure do like my crutches and putting bunny ears in pictures!
sliding down the slide!
they had a lot of fun!
eating freezes for snack!
they had fun blowing up the plastic afterwards!
so fun!
these girls are so cute!
look at all that awesome stuff that God has control over :) arent we just so lucky to have a God like him? :)
the boys of the group enjoying their slurpees as well!
one last talk from Mr.Andy
handing out prizes!
one kid from each age group won something!
afterwards we had a bbq! it was loads of fun!
than the slide got water added to it and the kids loved it!
but that was the last day of VBS. quite sad to leave and say goodbye to my group. even though its only 5 days...well you really do grow quite close together. best VBS yr of my life! :) and i think its a good note to end on...i dont think ill be doing another VBS at LCC for a while because hopefully next yr ill be in the paramedic program and it will go through summer! and than depending where i get a job will depend if i can help out there or not. by the looks of it i may just go to the North Kootneys as there hiring paramedics out there and its a lot harder to get a job in the okanagan! but that was my time at VBS. than i went home and cleaned, did laundry and watched community! such a good show! :) thank you scott for getting me hooked once again!
after 5 weeks i have a nice bump on the top of my foot!
and thats what my leg looks like now! not too bad, still a bit darker but at least there is improvement!
i figured i might as well put up some pics of my leg since this is what started this blog in the first place.
however im so glad i did VBS instead of going to Calgary for the reunion. i wish i didnt have to get my ankle broken to do VBS but i dunno, God works in mysterious ways. all we can do is trust him! I think i needed to be at this VBS not only to help out overall and help out my kiddies but it was good for me. it really was. i think i needed a week of focusing on God. ive had 5 weeks of doing nothing and looking what have done...well I kinda regret the way I spent the last 5 weeks. there was good things def, that I did but a lot of the time I really didnt honestly do much. I could of prolly read my bible so much more and talk to God and just spend time with him and i could of prolly played guitar more and stuff. i spent a lot of time playing video games and watching movies. its fun alright but its kinda sad the amount of time i spent doing it. i enjoy doing it and whenever there is a chance to do something with someone either here or out in the world ill jump on it but thats not all the time so i really need to figure out my time and how to use it more wisely and better! so the next couple weeks are gonna be different! i have time and a lot of it to use however I want so im going to try to fit in more God time, bible reading and maybe even memorize some scripture - havnt done that in a while! play guitar more and have movies and video games low on my list to do during the day. i hope it works...i guess ill know soon enough! hope this wasnt too long of a blog for you! enjoy :) cheerio!

Day.31-34(First 3 days of VBS!)
so sunday came around and church was good. figured out how to get to vbs the following morning so that was nice and than the rest of the day was relaxed and just chill and played some guitar and some video games and it was nice. that day me and scott officially became facebook offiical :) yay! i mean its facebook, means nothing but still its nice to have it up there! the next day came around and vbs time! i didnt help last yr casue i was in bible school in CR but this yr it acutally worked out well. this week i was suppose to be, well planning to be in Calgary for a Port reunion but because of my ankle injury well i didnt go and so becuase i didnt go i got to help out with vbs! which is actually good that i helped out with it instead of going to Calgary.
first day at VBS! songs are a great hit!
my little gr.2s playing some water games!
they had fun!
making a prayer box for their craft!
listening to mr.andy talk about planes and the bible!
it was fun to watch them play!
so the gr.2's are split into 2 different groups and im with the beavers and the other group is the falcons. i love my beavers, they are the awesomest kids ever! i love this group im with! anyways i went straight into kelowna after that and met up with scott! however the 23 bus was late to the uni so i missed the 8 so instead of getting dropped off near scott's place i took the 97x instead and went to the mall where he picked me up. we than went to his house and played twisted metal. intersting video game, we played co-op and there was one spot we got to and it was so irking! because we spent a looonnngg time trying to beat this race thing and i was the driver trying to get through the checkpoints and he was the person who used his vehicle instead to try to block off the other vehicles. however wehn other vehciles are after you and its like you vs the world well its a bit harder to do it adn not really knowing where to go puts a damper on stuff, however we got over half way but finally decided to stop that race and pick it up another day. hwoever we planned we are gonna beat it because we just cant leave it! after that he drove me home and i had a lovely meal with my parents as they were back for a bit. than we just relaxed the rest of the evening. the next day i went to vbs again and once again it was an awesome day!
we got a visit from a helicopter! it was pretty awesome!
not only did the kids love it, so did us adults!
so many cute kids!

anyways i went home and chilled with my parents and than scott came over about 10 after he was done work and than we finally finished gladiator! woohoo! scott has never seen it before so i was glad we got to watch it. than he went home and i went to bed. it was a good day! i really enjoy hanging out with him. hes a cool guy!

im really gonna miss these girls!
but that was my first 3 days at VBS! im loving it. not loving the fact that my ankle had to be broken so i could work at VBS becuase at first i wasnt gonna to becasue of a bible school reunion in Calgary but now since im not going i could help out at VBS which i think i was suppose to. they were short leaders and well this group that i have is amazing. they are teaching me so much these kids and im so glad im here and helping out and getting to know these girls. they mean a lot to me even though ive only known they 3 days. but so far this VBS expereince has been awesome!!!!
well i got home and had lunch with my parents - leftover pizza :) and than they left to go to florda for my cuz's wedding, i wish i could go but it just didnt work out. i just want to wear my pretty blue dress that i wore for my Port graduation. so i need to go some wedding or fancy occasion. hopefully sooner than later! and the rest of the day i prolly wont do much. go to bed somewhat early so that i dont die tomrow and have energy as its gonna be a big day tomorw with VBS and celebrating my friends birthday! im stoked though. it should be fun! this is a really long blog post. o well, hope you enjoyed reading it. hopefully soon ill know how much longer ill have to be in a boot! cheerio! :)
