All Aboard ViaRail

I just booked a train ticket to Smithers on December 14th. It only costs $15 one way. Normally it is around $30 or so in peak season. Im exited to take the train, since I havent taken one since I was quite young & its cheaper & safer than driving! Cant wait!

PG & Smithers

I went to Prince George this weekend for Henny's wedding & I brought Josh since he doesnt normally get to go on holidays. Ryan Wiebe came with us for the drive down. We stayed at Esthers the first nite & he had a blast when we went swimming in the morning with Lawrence & the boys. He seemed to like male attention alot. In Costco he said to me "Hey Jen, me and Ryan are gonna go do our thing & you girls go do yours." It was so cute! When Henny was walking down the isle I almost cried, im so happy for her! Josh went to the wave pool during most of the reception. On Sunday before we headed home I stopped at the superstore & bought Isaiah a Christmas present, my brother, and my mom. We drove to burns lake and stopped at the pon shop because Josh's uncle owns it. He filled him with several PS2 games, fancy lighters for the family, and other things. He also gave me $100 off a GPS & gave me 2 xbox games to give to my brother. Now I will not get lost in big cities! We went to his place for pizza after and headed to Smithers at 8 or so. We stayed the night there, and I visited with Kim Mott & had dinner at her place with Malachi & Mitch. We had fun, and they are so funny together! Erika lives at a farm with a bunch of other houses too and has a very long driveway. I was playing on this one part with my car because its a sheet of ice & slid into the ditch. I laughed & called Erika and she opened her door and had a shocked expression. My rear wheel was up in the air, however my first attempt to back out was easier than I thought. It was so much fun. We left Smithers at 9pm and got home at 11.

Thornhill Mtn

My brother & dad went to Calgary for 4 days to watch the Flames vrs Canucks, and for a holiday (they will be back tomorow) so I took his truck up Thornhill Mtn today since he wouldnt let me normally drive it since his insurance doesnt cover for me... I went quite a ways up, but the snow got to be too much & I dont really know if he has winter tires on so I turned around & came back down. It was so much fun hitting bumps ect. There were people walking up & I think they thought I was a bit crazy hitting the bumps so hard, but I wasnt going that fast.. only about 30. After that I went to get my winter tires put on my car & ended up having to wait 3 hours. I got them studded, since I am going to be making alot of trips up to the ski hill in my little car. I think I have put alot of milage on it since I got it. I bought it with a tid bit over 100,000 and I am almost up to 125,000 in less than 5 months.

Hes Home

My cat came home at 12 last night. I keep making fun of my mom, because she was crying last night and kept saying he was dead. I am assuming my neighbors dog chased him up a tree, and because of his bad leg he was stuck!

My Cats Missing?


My Cat hasnt been home since early this morning when my mom let him out. Normally he is in an out every couple hours, and when we come home he greets us. I think a wolf or somthing might have got him. Or else he is in the bushes somewhere hurt. I dont know. But its not like him not to be home!

Pastor Don & his wife had a party called the harvest. it was mostly for little kids but it was fun to go and hang out with the other kids our age. i played a bit of games, hit goliath in the head with a sling shot, haha.. i gave my prizes to random kids. i was a lady bug and isaiah was a chilly pepper. i will post pics when i get them. malachi and mitch had great costumes lol. malachi had plad pants on rolled up into capris with suspenders. it was so cute and funny and mitch had a mop on his head, a wetsuit and those flapper things divers where on their feet. rhys was a pumpkin, erika was her dad. i was going to go trick or treating but i didnt wanna get fat lol. yup it was a good night

Age




Age. Age is wierd, dont you agree. One minute your a baby, crawling on the ground, and the next minute your in the world, working or perhaps your popping out your own children, or even waiting for your grandkids to make their entrance into the world. Your known to the world by a number. Your age. In most parts of Canada your 19, you can get into a bar because you have lived at least 6935 days. You can get a loan from the bank, you can test drive a vechile. Just as long as you have been in this planet we call earth for at least six thousand nine hundred thirty five days. The world measures your responsibility on how many days you have lived. Your age. Its just wierd.
