Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm here, I'm in the land of opportunity. I got here last night. This town that my parents live in Stony Plain is really cute, and my parents live right in town, everything is so close, within walking distance. I think I'm really going to love it here.

I thought I was going to really have a problem on the plane, but I tell you I loved it, my favorite part was taking off and landing I loved the feeling that I got in my stomache it was like going on a ride at an amusement park.

Right now my parents live in a really tiny house and there isn't enough room for me so last night I slept in the camper, I didn't mind at all it was like having my own little space, but Friday they are moving into a huge 4 bedroom house so I'll have my own room there, funny though I won't have a bed or anything like that.. The only possessions I have are my cloths and my books that I brought for the plane trip. Crazy eh.

I'm not going to start looking for a job too soon, well that's not true I've already printed off my resume, and my dad has a fax machine which is awesome because I always found faxing my resume more effective then emailing it. My mom says that around here you have to tell employers what you expect to get paid because they will ask. I'm not excepting anything less the 10/hr, and actually I'd like to get 12/hr especially since I came across an add that offers 11/hr for mowing lawns. I'm not kidding either.

Well it's only been one night that I've been here and they've already got a job for me, I have to help pack so I'm gonna go and do that now. Don't worry I'll keep you posted!

"Repent then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." Acts 3:19

Sometimes we have to flee the devil because the temptation is too great for us and we fail. That's why I had to move out of the situation that I was in, if I kept hanging out with the same people and doing the same things and living the same life then I was always going to fail. I was never going to be able to get on track because the temptation to continue with the same lifestyle was too great.

I love it when I go to church and the speaker speaks directly to my soul, it's awesome!

I can't sleep. I've been trying to go to sleep for an hour now, my head is just spinning and I can't seem to stop thinking, and I've found that the best way to stop thinking so much so you can go to sleep is to get your thoughts out.

I'm overwhelmed by how quickly everthing seems to be falling into place for me. Seems like almost everything in my apartment is going to be gone as of Friday, hell my computer is going to be gone tomorrow. My tv is gone friday, I'm gonna be bored out of my mind for my vacation. If anyone is reading, come visit me next week. I'd love for the company. Atleast I'm gonna have time to pack everything up. Tania says I can store some stuff at her place, my hope chest included.

Danielle and Randell are taking my computer tomorrow.

Julie is taking my tv, my fan, and my hairdryer on Friday

Will and Jacqueline are taking my couch and chair on Friday and when I move out they said they'd take any knick knacks that I may have left, they may even take my futon. I hope so I really need to sell that.

Time is going by so fast, it seems like just yesterday I decided I was going. I'm starting to get sad about the move, this wasn't supposed to happen so soon, it wasn't supposed to hit me so soon. I'll blame this on Tanya though because when everyone was here tonight looking at my stuff her eyes were getting watery and that made my eyes get watery. I'm gonna miss everyone so much, I've mad some wonderful friends at Online Support and it does kind of break my heart to leave them. I love my team, and I probably won't see any of them again so it really is goodbye.

I just feel like there is so much left to do, and there really isn't. I have to call eastlink tomorrow to get the cable and internet disconnected and my mailing address changed. I've already made arrangements to have the power disconnected. I have to call my bank to have my mailing address changed because I couldn't do it online. I also have to call hrdc to get my mailing address changed with them too so that my gst check will go to the right place.

I'm really excited for the pub crawl on Saturday night. I'm sad that Paul can't come with though, it was supposed to be our adventure together. We will just have to have another adventure I guess. The pub crawl is going to be kind of like my last hurrah with my co-worker, my team especially. I'm having a going away party at my house too on aug 12th, but not everyone who goes to the pub crawl will be able to make it to that, and vice verca, because there are people not going to the pub crawl who will be going to my party.

I'm feeling really tired now. I hope that I've spilled out my thoughts enough to settle and go to sleep.

Goodnight

Dear friend, whats on your mind? You don't
laugh the way, you use to. And I thought I saw
you cry. Dear friend, I feel so helpless. I see
you sit in silence, as you face new pain each
day. I feel theres nothing I, can do.

I know you don't feel pretty......even though
you are....Dear friend, you are so precious...
dear friend.


And dear friend..i'm here for you. I know that
we don't talk too much. But we can share this day..anew. Dear friend, please don't feel like
your alone. There is someone who is praying,
praying for your peace of mine. Hoping joy is
what, you'll find.


I know you don't feel weak....even though you
are...Dear friend, you are so precious. Dear
friend.

La da, da, da. La da, da, da. La da, da, da-ah.
Ooohh.

Do you want to hear my scary moment of the day today? I'm gonna tell ya anyhow. I had to walk to work and it was raining and half way to work I saw this huge lighting strike and then there was this huge clap of thunder and here I am standing there with my umbrella.. Scary.. I was praying the rest of the way to work that God didn't strike me down.

So I decided last night for sure that I am moving to Alberta in September and my last day of work is August 12th. I'm going today to put my notice in at my rental office and I'm going to put in my notice with work probably by the end of the week depending. I'm very nervous and excited and scared all at once.

I've head that Canadian Idol singers have been disappointing this time round. Well I have to disagree I watched tonight and I want to vote for them all especiall Aaron, Susan Rawn, Matt Kennedy.. oh my goodness they were amazing. I wish there were three spaces. I hope that Aaron and Susan get in.

The judges really disappoint me, they don't have be so mean, it doesn't even matter what they think anymore, it matters what Canada thinks. Matt Kennedy was exceptional and the judges put him down hard core. I felt like he was singing to me, but maybe I'm just a sap. He sang that song to his wife at their wedding. How special is that? Maybe he should have chose another song because the judges shot down the song that was special between him and his wife. I felt so bad for him, he looked so crushed after the judges were done with him. I'm not gonna vote but if I were to vote I would vote for him. Hopefully alot of Canadians will vote for him.
