Low on the Go!

AHHH... what a fun two days!!!!!

J was gracious and let me go with her to St. Catharines...so that i could watch the Henley.

we stopped at the IKEA in burlington where J did some shopping...and then had a little snack(yay for lingoberry drinks, frozen yogurt and a cinnamon bun)!

then we were off!

we got to J's house...and played with Bennett for a bit. he is SUCH a cutie pie. i wish i had more pictures.

then we were off! we watched the last 2 races of the day...oh man, it was SO amazing. well...at least i found it amazing. the people racing were just amazingly good and it was tremendously exciting to watch their agility as their oars hit the water. J, didn't find it so exciting, but she was still great company. AND besides, we got to comment on the really cute guys. ha!

we went for dinner...all you can eat pasta. mmm...

and then for a walk on the pier. After this, J took me to ride on the 5cent carousel. we were DEFINITELY the only old people without children on the ride. but still! SOOO fun!!

then we went back to J's parent's place...and watched "When Harry met Sally." wow, its been a couple years since i've watched it...and its SCANDALOUS! haha. but some of it is just so darn funny. oy.

today, we went to watch the races again, went to home depot and went back to J's. her mum gave me these awesome home-grown cucumbers to take home. we ate fungi pizza for dinner (delicious!) and corn on the cob with her family..and then J drove me to the bus station, where i caught the bus home.

what a great time! it was SO relaxing. just what i needed. i'm so greatful for a woman like J in my life. she's a great model of a discipler AND like an older sister that i never had. her willingness to share her life with me has been a blessing. i love J! she's great.

thanks for a great time J!!!

thought this was interesting. i've been enjoying mark driscoll's blog lately. at first i was a bit weary of him..seeing as he's the "cussing pastor" in Blue like Jazz. But he has a lot of good things to say, and from what it seems..pretty solid. he'll be speaking at the desiring God conference in September, and to quote johnny pipes, " [Mark] is radically reformed, calvinistic through and through, complementarian..."

at any rate, i don't know where i was going with that.
