Reflection

In the last couple weeks I have taken some time to reflect on my last year. Coming into December soon it is that time of year again to think of all you did this past year, the good, the great, the memorable and the not to memorable.

I started the year pretty amazing heading to Guatemala. It was a 6 month experience I will never forget. Sure I made some mistakes but I dont regret a minute of it. I loved with no limits and lived with no borders. I met some amazing people, maybe of them who have become life friends. My friends I met in Guatemala, Kyle, Bryna, Liz, Melody, Tara, Nikki, Rachel, Amanda, Karla, Ange, Sarah, and David. The locals who ended up becoming closer then ever, Jonathan, Jorge, Esau, Isai, Clay, Alex and Abner. Not to forget my close companions of my last month, Heather, Alejandro and Carlos. They all impacted my life to the extreme and will continue to. I have been blessed with being able to see about the the team from Guatemala and can't wait to go back to see the Guate boys and my close companions next year.

My return to Canada was very different then I could have ever imagined. I was a rollercoaster for sure. Coming HOME was great and living here is even better. With a great roof over my head and a loving family backing me up it has been easy to get back to Canadian living. With the new job and new school things are shaping up.

Now finishing school and looking forward to a busy next season of working my butt off, life is good. Next April is the cut of point for wanting to be on a airplane by then. I can't wait to go back and see my Guate families again. 2007 is gonns rock....now lets just live out this next month.

Also take note....I will be turing 20 in January, nothing is going to be holding me back...NOTHING!!!!

November

Well a new month is apon us, and the last month of school for me...

I have decided that school is not for me, and atleast I found out only spending $1000 on it, compared to brother mark $10,000 ouch!! and sister sara I guess, except she got a husband out of the deal. I really got nothing out of this last semester at school. Very little spanish learned, some english and Poli Sci is just good times!

I am planning on working from now until whenever I have enough money to get to Central/South America. The Travel plans are not fully (or at all) set yet. I will hopfully be traveling from Mexico to Panama with MANY stops along the way. There are some things holding me back here in Canada..ie: Weddings and babies being born, but there are many things pulling me back there ie: friends (amanda), weddings (rachel in North Carolina) and just getting back on the road, a great change again.

I will continue to work my hardest to finish school and work as much as I can, then back on a plane or maybe even into a car for me. Any one want to drop life, and move to Central America with me???

p.s. pictures to come.
