First adventure

I went on my first adventure, tonight. I started out the night listening to a piano/violin concert given by Sarah Vendsel and Izumi Kashiwagi. Very pretty. I left 2/3rds of the way through in order to go to support our softball team. The game was over with suprising speed... it usually happens that way. Anyways, when I came back, I started talking with Candace. We decided it would be fun to go to starbucks to read for a bit, since we'd both been wanting to catch up on some 'fun' reading. After sitting for about ten minutes, though, we were kicked out because it was closing. So we went to the Ontario airport to try to find a place to park. We wound up in a hotel parking lot near the airport so we could see the planes take off- none ever did. We did see a train, though:) Twas the first time I had done something completely random and spur of the moment like that.

Reformation week festivities :)

We've had quite a few activities going on this past week at PCC. It started on Tuesday night when they watched a movie called Luther, and then Wednesday night was a l"lecture" on whether or not Christians should celebrate Halloween. I don't know much about either of them since I was doing homework on Tuesday, and Wednesday I had cherubkids. Thursday night we carved pumpkins! It was actually the first time I had carved one myself. I did one with Stalin (Henry for real:). We carved a ghost on one side, and then on the other, we put a tombstone, with my name on it!!! (I call him Stalin, he calls me Fall- or whatever the current season is). Sadness. I was carving out the tombstone, and he was standing behind me chanting 'go, August, go!' and dancing- pretty morbid. Friday night was also fun. I went to a softball game with Brett (PCC lost, as usual:( and then we were sitting in front of the office talking. We went to McDonalds with a couple of other people, but when we got back, there were four of us who finally (around midnight) decided to watch a movie. We piled the back of my truck full of blankets and pillows, and then the four of us squashed into my truck bed. I felt like I couldn't breathe, being stuck between two massive guys!

Yesterday, we had a harvest festival type thing for the kids in the community, and then that night sat around listening to different 'scary' stories and poems and things of that sort. It was pretty neat. And then we spent the rest of the night talking under the gazebo. PLUS, we got an extra hour of sleep- way awesome. And that was my week!
