stuff

Ok, so I haven't been bored. There has been so much to do. On monday Jimmy and I went Christmas shopping. We got a bunch of stuff we needed to get. Then I spent the rest of the day at my parents house. We decorated the tree.....it looks really good. Then on Tuesday Aaron and I went over to my parents house. We watched a movie......the island....it's pretty good. We took my brother Caleb shopping too. I went to see King Kong with Aaron and Shannon and my sister Bethany and her boyfriend Travis. It's pretty good but way too long.......3 1/2 hours. I guess lots happens but it was late and I was really tired. I spent the night at my parents house. This morning Aaron and I did the grocery shopping. Bethany and Travis came too because there was a lot to get. We just hung out with my family for the rest of the day. I wrapped some presents.....finally. I still have a bunch more to do. Now I am finally home. I need to clean my house. I figured I would have lots of time once exams were finished and maybe I do but I don't really feel like it. Maybe tomorrow.....or the day after that. I also need to wrap more presents and work on a present or two that I'm making. Aaaah.....I love Christmas! I'm not going to be at church on Christmas eve....my brothers and my sister and I are going to my parents church. So for those of you that I won't see.....have a really great Christmas!

boredom

So the day I've been looking forward to for a couple of weeks now is finally here, actually more like over. Yesterday I wrote my last two exams. I think I should do well......I sure studied enough! Don't get me wrong.....I am stoked that I have a few weeks off.....but I am so bored. There is nothing to do and I am really bad at entertaining myself.....I like to be with people. I have a book to read but I can't do that all the time. And I have friends to hang out with and a family to visit but I can't do that all the time either. Today Aaron and I went grocery shopping but that's about all I've done. I'm not exactly whining I don't think.....just rambling....because......I'm bored. Ha Ha. So yeah.....I'll stop boring you all to death and go find something to do. It's not really all that bad.....I do have three weeks off! Now that's a brighter side!

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance. Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer. Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

DNA

At UCFV there is this black board in one of the hallways. People write things on it or draw pictures. It's basically just for fun. The other day I noticed that someone had writtten, "science proves that God doesn't exist." I thought that was kind of funny. The way I look at science proves that God does exist. The more I learn the more I realize that there is no way that we could have just happened by chance.....or that we evolved from snails. Did you know that a typical human cell has about 2 meters of DNA? This length is about 250,000 times greater than the cell's diameter. Before a cell divides all of this DNA must be copied (and still all fit into that same cell). Then the two copies of DNA have to be separated so that each of the two new cells is identical. Amazing. DNA is made out of bases.....A,T,G, and C. If you were to print the one letter symbols for these bases the size of the letters you are reading now, the information in one cell would fill 1200 of my biology text books.....and let me tell you that it is a huge book!!!! And that is only the information in one cell. There are billions of cells in our bodies. Imagine the coordiantion that would take. There is so much more out there to think about that it boggles my mind. How everything works and fits together....it is too much to just have happened. Something had to have created it. Someone has to tell the cells to divide. How would they know to do it otherwise. Something has to tell the geese to fly south every winter. God is in everything.....just look around.

finally...

So we finally have snow!!! On Monday nite when I went to sleep it was just barely snowing. When I woke up in the middle of the night I got out of bed to see if it was snowing. It was so beautiful....the snow flakes were so big and I could see the lights over in Abbotsford reflecting the snow....the world was completely white. It's kind of hard to put in words exactly what it looked like or exactly what I felt but those of you who love snow will understand. I was at the bus stop the other day and it was really snowing. There was a girl standing near me who was telling her friend that she gets like a little kid every time it snows. I understand what she means....I feel the same way. Like nothing matters anymore except the snow....that nothing bad can happen. The candle light parade is coming up. I've lived in Mission for over 17 years and I never remember it snowing for the parade. I've always wished it would and I think this year my wish just might come true.....
