Apple Picking!!!

Oh my land...I finally got to pick apples...even though I never technically picked my apples because the ones I wanted were so high up Rick had to jump up and get them :) Anyways on Saturday we went to the Valley and went through a corn maze and then we got to go on a hay ride through an apple orchard. It was a lot of fun! And I must say it was freezing!! But it was soo much fun! I felt like I was on an episode of The Amazing Race though it was so much fun running through the corn field trying to get to all the main points we had too! It was a crazy redneck way to spend a Saturday afternoon hahhaaha. Anyways that night I went to see Saw 3 with my brother and his girlfriend and Rick. Wow, what a movie...it was really gross...I don't know why I put myself through that stuff...lol. Anyways I am sitting here still in Halifax trying to decide if I should go home tonight or wait and go tommorow morning....

Its been a while!

Well I guess this whole blogging thing is going to get some getting used too. I am really good at keeping my diary entries, but when it comes to this...I must admit I am horrible. But I must say its good to be home in Halifax again! I miss my family and my brother Matt I haven't seen him in AGES hes always in Newfoundland doing some sort of work over there :(
Anyways tonight was fun. We all went to my parents friends house for a turkey dinner. Matt didn't get a Thanksgiving dinner so this made up for it! It was a lot of fun. It was in the valley, on the way home though there was a huge fire on the side of the highway. Someone was driving a U-haul and it caught on fire...it was scary...of course my brother mark was driving so we had to pull over and investigate. Anytime we are in a car with Mark I feel like I am on an episode of COPS...lol he means well though...and atleast he knows what he is doing! Unlike the woman cop who was there...(but we won't go there) Anyways tommorow we are going through a corn field maze..I am actually pretty excited about it!!! Anyways thats all for now!

OK...IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?!!!

Ok, I am really trying to keep my cool about everything that is going on, but I lost it today. I am only getting 300 bucks from student loan this year and I seriously don't know what is going to happen. Why is it I finally want to get my education and I feel as though I can not even do that? I am soo annoyed, nothing can go easy for me lately...so what do I need to do?! Thank frig its Friday tommorow...I can have a little time to myself and just catch up on some school work. This just doesn't seem fair, I know people who barely worked and friggen got money galore and I busted my ass at work and friggen got nothing....hopefully I will be able to appeal it...anyways I gotta go...what a blah day

MMMMMmmmm Turkey

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!!!! Well I must admit this was a different Thanksgiving. The only ones that were here were mom, dad, Mark and my Uncle Jason. Matthew was in Newfoundland working and my aunt and two cousins were in Newfoundland visiting her parents. So it was quiet. Mom likes to go to The Famers Market every year around this time and pick out pumpkins and such to put on their front step.

We then went home right away and cooked our supper. See when you are from the country this is how us rednecks cook our turkeys we deep fry them. Yeah it kinda sounds wierd but let me tell you its the best way to eat a turkey! I must admit it is very hickish since its freezing outside now and you literally have to have rubber boots, flashlight and a coat to check on your turkey, but can I just say that it is WAY worth it!!!

Mom and I were the cooks and I am sooo tired but it was worth it. I have so much to be thankful for! A great family, health and even annoying brothers who I miss greatly!

Learn to be Still

K, so I love The Eagles everyone knows it...and I have been in such a wierd mood lately. This song describes everything so well


Its just another day in Paradise
While you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head

You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And once more starry eyes messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so wsweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
(we keep asking)
How do I get out of here?
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

The week is starting all over again...

You know if there is anything that I have learned recently it is that the weekends are a very precious time for me. Its a time to get caught up in work...and sleep. I didn't do too much this weekend I had to recover from a migrane on Saturday but then I went straight to the library and did some work (NERD) and just hung out with old friends. Sunday morning I got up and went to church and then I slept for a lot of the afternoon, hung out with Shan and Darrell who I haven't seen in forever. We went to Startbucks and then came back and just kinda hung out and watched a movie. It was a relaxing weekend but I feel as though I didn't get much accomplished, although I know I did, I hate that feeling more than anything.
This week is going to be sooo hectic....its midterm week...already...I just need to do well...and I need to hear from Student Loan...oh man its so stressful...I guess this is what happens when we depend on ourselves and not on God...I need to start to do that much more often...
