Hey!

Hey Everyone,

       Almost done making the video. Should be up pretty soon. I've just been so busy lately. School is just around the corner! I can hardly believe it's my last year. Time goes by way too quickly. In some ways I'm excited but then in others I'm sad. Weird I know but ya. I confuse myself alot.
       Handed my resume in. We'll see what happens. Cross my fingers and hope! :) I probably wont get hired until they re-open in October because  then I'll be 17 and hopefully have my WSI finished. Who knows, I may not get the job untill January, which would be disappointing but it's life.
       Went to Youth Group tonight and had alot of fun! I tried Long boarding and well, I don't think it's for me?? Hahahhaha I fell and rolled on the cement and now my leg is scraped up. I don't know, but I think it's has something to do with my balance and the fact that I'm moving at the same time. lol
      Anyhow, I'm a little sad at the moment because everyone is leaving to go to school. :( I almost feel left behind at times. :( Oh Well, I have my great friends Logan, Roxy, Rachel, Rebbecca and such here so we'll see how this year goes.
      Well, I'm a little tired and in need of some sleep so I'm going to head in. I'll update you a little better later. Night!

Smithers Fall Fair

Hey,
Last week we went to the Smithers Fall Fair!
It was alot of fun! Here are some photos I thought I'd share!

New Hair!

My friends mom used to be a hair dresser and offered to do my hair. I absolutely love it. :)

Ya! I'm finished NLS!

                 I'm really excited! It's been a busy past two weeks and I'm just a little tired. Or maybe I should say exhausted Hahaha. Anyhow Thursday was our last day and I'm trying to make a little video out of all the pictures and videos I took. I should be finished with it in a couple days here.
                It was SO much fun and I have lots of funny stories to tell you however, today we spent the day in smithers at the fall fair. So I'm a little tired and in need of sleep. I'll update everything for you tomorrow hopefully! Thanks for reading.

Hurray!!

Justin Gets Home Today around 2pm! Sooo excited!!!!! I missed him soo much!

NLS Week Update

Hello!

           Sorry for not posting for the past two days. L I’ve honestly just been too tired and by the time I get home I’m too exhausted. I’ll do my best and try and update you on my past week. 

Day: 1 

Our first day was spent at the Kitimat Fire hall doing Work Safe Emergency. It was an interesting day. Five of us are from Terrace while the other four were from Kitimat. Everyone was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. It was kind of funny cause one of the first questions Calvin (Our instructor) asked was “So who here is NOT shy?” Well, I was like I’m not and raised my hand and noticed that I was the only one. :p  We all had a good laugh over that. I wasn’t able to snatch any photos that Day cause I forgot my camera’s batteries at home. We finished the day of with a little test which everyone passed and we received our Work Place Emergency certificates! 

Day: 2 

The second day was a little better. Everyone kind of new each other a little better than the first day. We went over standard first aid and went through our books. It was a lot of fun being able to practice how to deal with different simulations such as strokes, seizures, heart attaches, fractures, choking victims, unconscious victims and so on. It was a lot of fun! I was able to take a lot of photos that day so I’ll post some for you! By the end of the day however, everyone was a little tired so the drive home was a little quiet. J

Day: 3

Day three was our first WATER day! Everyone was a little excited to be going to the pool! We spent the first couple hours our son in the community room going over some material. When we hit the water he had us wear runners, shorts and t-shirts on top of our regular swim suits for some of the drills/sims. I actually found it easier to do eggbeater with runners then without. I also decided that I’ll probably never wear sandals when guarding. I find that it’s harder to react when in an emergency. 

Day 4: 

Day four was A LOT of fun! We started off by taking our standard first aid test. Which I did pass nicely! Then before lunch headed into the water for some more simulations and fun! We practiced scanning the pool, roll overs and some carries. After lunch we watched a couple lifeguard videos before heading back into the pool. My favorite part of the day was when we practiced guarding! On my turn I handled everything great except for the fact that I didn’t have my glasses so I wasn’t able to see the person drowning under a mat at the far end of the pool. :p So from now on I’m wearing glasses. 

Here are some pictures for you! Enjoy! If you have any questions or comments please do! 

                                 My Drama SHOCK look Hahhhaha :)

NLS day 2!

                                         Logan and I practicing giving medication such as ASA

         So today was day two if our NLS class. Unfortunately I forgot the batteries for my camera so I wasn’t able to take any pictures of our first day. L Sorry about that. Anyhow, it’s been great fun. Commuting back and forth to Kitimat hasn’t been too bad. We spent the first two days at the fire hall going over first aid and everything! I’m learning a lot. Our teacher has been great making the class fun and interesting. I’m super excited to start in the water tomorrow!  Here are some pictures of our second day. Enjoy!

Costa Rica!

           In this picture is my younger brother and I. He was giving me a piggy back ride. However I soon found out the getting off is a little different then I thought. It involves being thrown in the snow. :) I miss him a lot!




        It's almost been a week since Justin left. He was fortunate to be able to go on a missions trip with Samaritans Purse to Costa Rica. He and a few of his friends left around a week ago and are having a blast down there! Apparently, they are distributing Operation Christmas Child Boxes to children and families. We received an e-mail the other day stating that they were all doing great and experiencing many different things! I'll keep you updated when I get more information. :)

Finally Some Sun!!!

Mom took the younger kids to the lake the other day and was able to capture some beautiful fun pictures! I thought I'd share some with you. Enjoy!

                                  Don't they look excited?? L-R Jonathan, Katie, Matthew and Steven

                                   My Four year old sister is the best! :) I love her to death. :)

                                          She's way more photogenic then I am that's for sure. :)

                                                           She loves flowers!

                                   Matthew just LOVED sitting in the sand and playing with his beach toy's!

                                                        It was a beautiful view!

                                    Last night Jonathan decided to try and wear 4 hats at once.

New post update

Hey,


LIFE:
    Again, I'm going to apologize for not posting for like 2 Weeks! So much has happened I've really been too busy to share about it! Sorry. However, I will try to pick up where I left off and share whats been happening. :) I've personally been doing a lot better! It feels great!

SCHOOL:
Only a few more weeks until grade 12 starts. I'm almost looking forward to my last year of school. It's fun and yet nerve racking at the same time! :p It will be a heavy work load and it will be challenging but it's my last year so if I apply myself I should be fine.

LIFEGUARDING:

    One more day and I'll be leaving for Kitimat for NLS! I can hardly wait! Really looking forward to it! It's for two weeks Mon-thur 9-6pm. so looong days for sure! There is a group of us that will be commuting back and forth which helps with the driving.Went and bought a couple things for the course today. Needed a water bottle and some pens. All set to go now!!
 It being for two weeks means I'll have a weekend here still which is great for my part cause that will give me time to practice Friday, Saturday and Sunday if needed!

DRIVING:

    Booked my driving test today. I have it for late next month. I'm not sure what I was thinking cause I totally booked one of the most busiest times of the day. lol 8:45am, everyone will just be heading off to work. Hahaha Oh well, I should do fine anyways. I can hardly wait for my N!

FAMILY & FRIENDS:

   The family and I went to Price Rupert last week to watch a plane show. We took my friend along as well and had a lot of fun. Well, other then the fact that the show was canceled because of the weather :( :(  That's Prince Rupert for ya. It's either raining or cloudy. Hardly sunny.
     I've also started going to my friends Youth Group! I met a lot of new people and mad some new friends! I was pretty thrilled with it because so far my summer has been dull and boring having most of my friends away at camp or on vacation. It was a lot of fun!

WEATHER:

   What A Summer!!! We've had hardly any nice weather here! Only a couple hot sunny days! Mostly cloudy with rain.  We are becoming more and more like Prince Rupert weather wise :( :( :( Really hoping for some nice hot weather before it's back to school. I was able to go the the lake on Monday though and enjoy a little sun! I was so excited when I noticed my back was all red hahaha When we went back to my friends house to finish that party her mom looked at me with concern when she noticed my red back. Then frowned and asked why I was excited about a sun burn? I told her excitedly that now I wasn't going to be the only white person at the pool Hahaha I finally looked like I was outside! This is what happens when you work indoors all summer and when your not working you are at the pool :p  It's not that bad of a burn but the first day did hurt a LITTLE lol

                                      We were having fun taking some silly pictures on the drive back :)

                                          Silly Girls!

                   Sad little girls Hahah Wow, i totally look like and old granny here don't I? Glass! Hahah

                                                       My Absolute Favorite!!!!
