Ho Ho Ho!
Merry Christmas!
It's almost been a year since I last updated this. HAHA!
My apologies..
Been too busy with school and what not.
Since Feb (my last post),
A lot has happened.
I've gone to visit my friend's cottage
It was an amazing trip!!
We made snow mans, ate s'mores, roasted marshmallows, played games,
did a tiny trek to a frozen-over river,
had bible study sessions.
It was definitely worthy of its' own blog post.
But as usual I was too lazy busy!
*******
Then I competed in Gymnastics twice
Won both competitions!
YAY!
It was also the 1st time my fam (well, just my sis) ever saw me perform.
After,
We went n celebrated by having peking duck!
I got to carve my own duck!!
*******
Come Summer, my sis n I took Chinese lvl 2
Which brought us all the way to..
CHINA!!
At highest pt of great wall, with fellow classmates n prof! |
3 weeks in Shang Hai studying n touring,
1 week in BeiJing touring.
Was definitely a memorable trip
Made great friends along the way
N absolutely love my prof!
<3 <3 <3
It's a shame this is all I'm saying about China.
Cuz it was truly a blessing to be able to do this as an elective course
<3
*******
Instead of flying home to Canada,
I went South,
And landed home sweet home.
Whr I was reunited with my family,
Got to celebrate my gram grams bday! Happy 90th!! <3 |
my beautiful cousin! |
My Friends,
And Gymnastics
I performed, I hosted, I loved it! And this time, my family came n finally saw me perform after 7 years of doing this! <3 |
All in all,
I ate, I shopped,
I got reunited with everyone
<3
*******
Then school started again.
Nothing interesting to report there.
:(
*******
I went Buffalo for a day of shopping!
No pics thr..
Well there were..
But I can't seem to find them so.. wtv..
Bought mommy a pretty Coach bag
And for myself a pretty Kate Spade wallet
And lots of other stuff :P
<3

Remember how few months (maybe years) ago
I wanted to redecorate my house..
Well, I did!
Now we have 2 bedrooms but no living room
Oh well! :P
N oooo!
We put up Christmas deco!!!
Stay tune for pics!
(I didn't get so made up to not take any pics! C; )

And here we are...
I have gone through everything remotely worth mentioning.
Of course my trip to the cottage, China, Home, n Buffalo has more interesting stories..
But hey,
It's Christmas and I don't want to spend all of it typing ;)
Plus,
Friends are arriving n it's time to get beautiful for my Christmas party.
Cooking a mean steak dinner, with scallop potatoes n salad
Dessert: brownies with ice cream n fresh berries.
Mmm YUM!
Then slumber party and tomorrow,
More SHOPPING!
But before I go..
Just wanna say,
This year has been incredible.
What I've stated above doesn't do my entire year justice.
I've been blessed, got my prayers answered and felt God's presence with me more than ever.
Last night as I prayed,
I recapped everything God has given me,
And what He has yet to do in my life,
And all I could think of was reading
John 3:16
Though I know this verse, God was telling me to have another look
And I realized 1 more thing I haven't given thanks to
Eternal Life & Forgiveness.
This day 3747647169930 years ago,
Jesus was born, so I could live.
And for that,
I am more than grateful.
Thank You Lord &,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D
Merry Christmas y'all!

XOXO
