10 days later...

Its been a lil over a week since my last entry. Donald, I know you have been checking up on me here, sorry!!! Since my last entry -remember, where i said that the week promised to hold a lot of good things??- well, since then I have spent a lot of time running around, chasing the dream so to speak. My people, i must confess, sometimes this dream chasing thing sucks.
I wont bore you with the details of why i often felt that way last week (though i suspect thats what blogs are meant for) but suffice to say that the funk has been lifted. ;-) n the good things i spoke off, well i found! ;-)

Despite the running around and the sometimes dismal this whole thing is going to fall apart in my face feeling, I have still managed to pack in some pretty good adventures.. you all know i love me my adventures ;-). So here goes the highlights.. Last week sunday, i went downhill skiing and had a blast. Never mind that i fell more times than i could count and that i still havent figured out how to do those cool turns yet, it was still an amazing expereince. Was up on the hills all day and consequently spent the week groaning about my sore muscles.. lol!! Even the hour I spent in the sauna the day after didnt help much.. but it sure felt good..

Anywho, the week came and went and last night Erik (my fire fighter ski instructor roommate) took me cross country skiing. It musta been in the thirtys, negative thirtys i mean, but hey, that doesnt stop anybody in these parts and that includes urs truly. So of we went, when the sun went down to the skiing lodge on adventre numero two. I had heard about how this sport is sopposed to be the greatest workout ever and they aint lying those who say so, after two hours out there, I can most definately feel it in my legs today. However, the physical exertion was the least of my problems last night. You see, 45 minutes into the expedition, i couldnt feel my left foot. Well it started with my toes n by the time we reached the lookout point (which i was determined to see) I was just about frozen through. Poor Erik was so scared when i told him that my foot was gone, he took off his socks and gave em to me. Then he pulled me for the remaining 2k back to civilization where half an hour and a foot bath later my foot slowly and painfully came back to life.

So.. now that i have crossed two winter sports off my list i think i will go snow boarding next weekend. fun, fun,fun!!!!

Well there you have it, the highlights of the last ten days.. As alwayz God has seen me through and true to himself he even managed on several ocassions to make me smile. ;-) What can i say, i love my father n my father loves me;-)

One last thing, this T-bay adventure thing is proving to be quite interesting. I am learning new things about myself out here already and also about my people out in the big bad world. Thanks a lot guys for coming through last week. Mummy, Tilie n Jeddie, love u all much.

Anywayz yall, morale of this entry, life is one great big adventure, enjoy it!!!

I should really get to studying now. I will try to be regular with updating this but i aint making no promises.

The struggle continues!!!

Anywho, Since i like to keep busy i am all set up in my new room, have been grocery shopping n now i am off to the gym. See, its like home already..(not). I am excited to be here, I truly am. I've been praying for this for a long time n so i know that God brought me here not just as answer to prayer but as part of his plan..I just wish i coulda brought some of home with me.. sall good.

Tomorrow the madness begins. It is going to be really hectic but it also promises to hold a lot of good things. I will keeep praying.. The struggle continues..
