arrival

please excuse my absence, i was unavoidably detained in edmonton, alberta.

thursday i took the bus to edmonton to meet up with my housemate rachel (she lives in my basement) and then the next day drive to school. but, another girl was to fly in that night from alaska who would be driving with us. and, for those of you who don't know, juneau alaska has been very foggy lately, and thursday no flights got off the ground. so, she did not arrive until friday evening, a full 24 hours late. so, friday i spent with rachel taking in whyte avenue in edmonton (a little touristy-type street with lots of shops), had some pizza from the funky pickle, had deep fried ice cream at julio's barrio, went to ikea (bought nothing but had much fun discussing different rooms and greens and took some fun pictures), met rachel's family, and watched thelma and louise (first time for both of us. my comments... odd movie). so, yeah, it was an unexpected fun day.

so, today we left edmonton at 9:30 am and arrived at school and our lovely little house (which we missed dearly) at 7:30pm. nice drive. good conversation. snow covered prairie. chats of husbands and goals and dreams.

got home. looked in empty fridge. talked to joanne who arrived just before us. unpacked (well... a little bit. most will be left until tomorrow). did laundry. checked email. empty inboxes (junkmail does not count!). checked school mail. um, one email in that. not sure what to think. pitter patter.

holding on to Jesus. trusting i won't break down.


exhausted. going to bed. more thoughts tomorrow.
