First of all Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas. I had a really great Christmas. I went to the Christmas Eve with my parents. It was a really great service. In the afternoon my friend came over to exchange gifts and watch a movie. We watched Indinana Jones Movie (#3). Then after the service last night I opened his present. and it was Mamma Mia!!! I am really happy with that. I love that movie. My mom and dad and Brother and I will be watching it tomorrow night. Then today We opened the rest of our presents. I got some cool stuff from people. I got from my parents were 7th Heaven seasons 5 and 6, some clothes, and a heating blanket. From my dad I got a Tim Card, and from my Brother got me a Rodgers Video Gift Card. I am still waiting for a few other things from friends.

On to other things. Things are busy around here. I have been working and doing school work. I have finished a course over the last couple of months. I like working at the job that I have a the moment. They are a great set of people and I will hold on to this job for a while. Also with the job, they are really understanding about things. And they give you 2 weeks of paid of vacation.

Well I should go cause I have a 4 hour shift tomorrow.

Things have been really busy. I have been busy with work and school. and of course with family. My brother moved out, My friends friend was here for a month staying with my parents. She is now engaged to a nice guy.

On to new of my friends daughters dad. Stave, he is doing a bit better. He is getting treatment. Its of course really hard on people. Please keep praying for him and his family.

This week has been a busy but also a hard one. Last Thursday My Grandmother passed away during the late hours of the afternoon. The Funeral is at 10pm Friday. I will not be there because I have to work and I would not have made the trip.

Well I am going to go cause I am tired and I am going to bed.

Well to update on my friend who had the stroke. She is doing great now!!!! Thank God for that. She is looking for a new job now because she got dismissed from Co-Op.

On to other news. A lot has happened since writing in here. Well the first big thing is that I am hoping and almost for sure that I am going to go to the Winter Olympics in 2010. I had to put a bid on the tickets. I will update you when I know more about that.

Well it has been a very long time since I have written anything in here. I thought I forgot my sign in name and password. Thank goodness for saved accounts!!!

Well the last 4 months I have been working full time at work and that was pretty interesting. Its been good because of the extra money and of course not having a lot of spare time on my hands. I dislike being board. When I am board I watch TV and nothing else. Well at work this summer we have had 2 new supervisors come to our store. And we have had a lot of new people added to our staff and most of them have quit. I can't understand why but whatever. There has been one person who has left our store because of some circumstances that he could not control. He worked at the store I do for 13 years and he had to transfer to another store. We all miss him. He was one of the better people that were working up front.

We also had a new ass manager come to our Store. He is a really nice guy. He interacts with the customers and everything. He even drove me home on day. I did not feel well. I had sharp pains in my chest and ribs so they called the EMTs to take a look at me. After the EMTs looked me over they said I should not work that day and to go home so Dave(the ass manager) took me home. That night I got the 24 hour flue. I had the next 2 days off after that.

Well other then work I have not been doing a lot. I started school again 2 days ago. So I am working only 32 hours now and I have time to do school work and also have time to hang out with my friends too.

Speaking about friends I have a friend who is not doing so good at the moment. I would like you all to pray for her. She has health problems but she was doing ok until about 3 weeks ago. The Doctors said that it might be a stroke or it might have been something else. She has no
feeling in her left side. I hope she will get better and I will have updates when she gives them to me.

Well The last thing I should tell you about before going to get ready for work is I went to MY FIST BACKSTREET BOYS concert on Sept 2nd. It was so awesome. I still can't believe that I was actually there. They did a great job and I can't wait till my next concert. I got a few things when they were here too. I got 2 t-shirts, a tote bag and a poster. It was great!!! They are coming out with another CD soon too. They told us at the concert!!!!!!

Well I should pack up to get ready for work tonight even though I don't want to go but I have to. Talk yo you all later.

Well I have been in Victoria for 4 days and I am loving it. I have no idea how I am going to leave to go back home. I am have a grea time and getting to see a lot of great places and stuff. It has been really great to see most of the tourist attractions that don't cost anything. I love when you don't have to pay for a lot of the things here. Yesterday we went to the parlenment building and to the governement house. It was really cool. I have about 87 pics already and I am still here until Monday morning so I hope to take lots more. Its been really nice here so that is a bonus. Here they have no snow and all of the flowers are in bloom and everything. I love it. Well I should go cause we are going to have lunch soon so I will update again soon or when I get home.

Well the last 2 days it has been snowing again. Its April and it should be sunny but not snowing. I am so glad that I am going away from Calgary for a while. I will be leaving in 7 days and I am really starting to get excited about going and seeing my friends and their parents again. I miss them so much. I am also getting excited about the plain flight. Its my first one in 20 or so years so its gonna be interesting. I am going by myself so I am kinda nervous about that but my dad and mom will be there until I get on the flight. Well I should get going cause I have to get to church in the morning.

Well On Thursday when I woke up my mom called me and told me that I had to be careful walking to work. I asked her why(even though I called in sick to work) She said Did you not look outside yet. I said No I have not u just woke me u mom. She said well it snowed a lot last night. We had enough snow that it was about up to my knees before it was packed down with rain. So we had a shock there. But it happens a lot in Alberta(or so I have been told). I will be happy to leave Alberta for a while.

I am going to BC (Victoria) For 1 week to visit my friends that moved there about 8 months ago now. I am really excited!!!!! It will be my first time flying since I was 5 or 6 years of age. Today I bought some luggage for my trip. I got it for a reasonable price. I got three peaces for 50.00. They original cost 80.00 so I got a good deal. I bought them at a place called Army and Navy.

Well I have to go cause it is late and I am tired. I have to get up early for church.

Well I made it through another birthday without getting sick or hurt. But I did get hurt on the weekend after my BDay. Not fun. I slipped on the ice on the Saturday and I thought nothing of it but then it started to hurt on the drive home. I did not really think it was that bad but on Monday night I was working and I left early cause I was in pain and I could not stand much longer. Then the next morning I felt ok so I went to work but only lasted 6 hours and then I called the doctors office and I went to see him. He told me I should not work for 3 weeks but I told him I could not spend 3 weeks off work so he gave me 3 days off and then he told me that I should sit for a couple weeks so my leg heals like it should. So I called my work place the next day and they said that I needed a note telling them that so I can do that. So I went back to the doctors yesterday and he gave me a note for the next 2 weeks for modified work. So I will be working in the smoke shop for a while.

Well on to other news. I got a few things for my BDay and stuff. I got the Collection of Jane Austen, The Complete Chornicals of Narnia, and Northanger Abbey. I am excited about reading the Collection of Jane Austen. I bought them because if I finish one of the books I don't have to get the other one off the shelf or out of my pack to continue reading. Well I should go cause I have to go to work tomorrow. I will update soon when I have something to write about

Well I have been working lots and started on my other course. I am trying to do things around the house and stuff but it is hard to keep up with. The people that I work with are great. there is only one person that I am having trouble with but I think she has asked to not work with me. Oh well you can't win them all right.

Well today has been a sad day. Heath Ledger has died. It is very very sad. He was so young and he was a great actor and he was at the peak of his wonderful acting career. I loved him in 10 things I hate about you and A Knights Tale. I have lit a candle in memory of him and also out of respect. We will always have him in our hearts and we will always miss him. I send out a prayer to God for his family and friends that are going through a lot today and for a while yet. The world will morn for him.

Well on Saturday I found out that 2 of my family are really sick.

My grandma had a heart attack on Friday night. She is a bit better now but not really coming back as she was before. She has had a few other little heart attacks through out the last couple of years and she has been coming back. She is a fighter but this time is a bit different. She is not as strong as she was and stuff. So pray for her to either come back as she once was or whatever.

The other person in my family that is sick is my aunt. If you remember last year I mentioned that she had cancer in her lungs. Well she has it again in both lungs and in her hip. So she is really sick. I have been crying for the last 3 days about this because she is my favorite aunt and she is too young to die. well I need to go and get ready fr work so I will talk to you all later.

Well I went to Walmart and Ikea on Saturday. Man it was really busy. My parents and I went at 9am and did not get home till 3pm that afternoon. But it was a really good day. I got things that I needed and things that I wanted. I spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much at Walmart but everything I bought I either needed or wanted and was saving up money for it. and at Ikea my parents bought me a really cool desk and I bought myself a cutlery set and a hamper. I got the new BSB Cd at walmart and also got the Concert for Diana and Ratatioulle and Grumpy and Grumpier old men. and a lot of other things.

Yesterday my mom and I put together my desk and it took us almost 6 hours and one of the guys that live upstairs was going out for a smoke and saw that we were having troubles so he came and helped us with the rest of it. it only took about another half an hour. If he did not come and help my mom and I would have probably not finished till late into the night.

Well work is going ok. I have memorized about 34 codes now so that is good. But I am still making some mistakes and stuff but I am learning right. I have a meeting with some of the people at work soon I think. The only thing I am worried about is that my pay was reduced when I changed from being a service clerk to a cashier. So I have to talk to someone about that. If I knew that my pay would be reduced I would not have switched jobs or I would go somewhere where they pay more. Oh well I will get it sorted out. Well I should go cause I am working in about an hour so I will talk to yall later.
