last night, i had a nightmare about going back to sbs and starting the new testament.
interestingly, steph had an sbs nightmare too.
but this one is mine
basically, we had a full day lecture on monday, first day back. For some reason,we were having lectures at my elementary school. but i didnt know who our lecturer was, nor what book he was teaching, and suddenly there were 20 new students. during lectures, i knew i hadnt done out loud reading, PT, or colour coding, so i freaked out, and i learned that i didnt finish my creative app for a book from this last semester, but i didnt know which one it was (later someone told me it was for jude)
anyways, i was so stressed out in my dream. I only hope that this will not happen on monday.

Tim and James in your nation's capital!
James here, representing Tim as well. We've had an awesome trip so far!
First we drove with Trent to Saskatoon and stayed two nights with a family he knew who took us in like we were their children. They did have one child there, a three year old girl who adopted Tim as her best friend.
Then, we went to Trent's church and found out Trent is actually a celebrity in Saskatoon and must be on TV a lot since EVERYONE knows him. Finally we had a smooth flight from Saskatoon to Ottawa.
Today (Christmas Eve) we had an awesome day!
First, we woke up super earlier (It was actually about 7:30) than we've been waking up (referring more to me, James, which I blame on the Jet-lag), and went skiing! Tim showed me around the slopes as it was my first time skiing and I had a blast!
All of Tim's big family was there, except for his mother who was single-handedly cooking our Christmas dinner (which was a wild turkey, shot by Tim's hunting brother Nathan). The food was ready just in enough time for me to take a nice nap as I was thoroughly exhausted from using every muscle in my legs for hours. (So to summarize, I skied all day, took a nap, then ate Christmas dinner... Essentially it was fantastic! [I said that thinking of Amy and Nic Nic]).
After dinner we opened presents. I say "we" because Tim's family got me a few things. It was pretty awesome. Then we just hung out for a while! All in all, 'twas a beautiful day.
God Bless ya'll.
Peace!
James and Timmy

oh yes, a story
so i reckon you remember that i went home to manitoba with nathan.
So,
at 3 am in the morning, we were 1 hour 45 min from crystal city with the gas tank in the red for empty. Nathan drove down a road he was not certain was right for about 15 minutes, and eventually, we made it to a town called kilarney, about 35 min from crystal city. by now the tank was not looking good at all, and we were only driving 80k so we were not burning gas. We went to 2 card lock gas pumps, and nothing would take a credit card, so we went to the convenience gas station and nathan was joking about getting arrested so we could have a place to stay until morning when everything would open. Well, as we were checking out the gas pumps at 330 AM a cop did pull over, and said he would come with us to one of the cardlock pumps cause he had a co-op card that would get it working. Well, OF COURSE the key pad didnt work, and the cop said he had just used it 5 minutes ago. By this time i was laughing hysterically because it was one dissapointment after another(and i was exhausted). So I decided we should just drive until we ran out of gas-by God's grace and alot of my laughter and singing to the radio, we made it to crystal city on empty at 4 AM. went to bed at 5am. Just another ywam adventure.

Yes, Amy was right, i am an over communicator....and i dont have facebook.
So, i reckon this can be our lounge, since we don't get out of our rooms much anyways.
If it doesn't get used, i will be slightly discouraged, but will quickly get over it because i'm like that.
anyways, i would like to hear about presents, family, food, relaxing over christmas.
and remember to sign your name at the end.
