Amazing!

This weekend has been the most amazing time ever! It was a girls weekend. Kelsi, Brittany and myself headed up friday evening to the most gorgeous place in BC. Well the hottest anyway! Kelowna baby!!! The drive was breathtakeing as well, since it was almost sunset! We stayed at Kelsi's families trailer! Just us three girls! Party!

Saturday was the best day of all, im sure Kels and Britt can testify to that. WE woke up at around 930 and slowly got ready. Britt called one of her buddies she met in Australia Caprnwray. Matt. He invited us all over. Dang. He is one of few lucky people in Kelowna. He lives on the lake! His backyard turns into a beach and has his own private dock. Not to mention a sweet pool and hottub as well! OH and there is a boat attactched to this private dock. It was paradise! We spent the whole day there! He had some of his friends that we hung out with too. oh I forgot to mention. He has a trampoline! haha. Well our day was full of pool areobics, botche ball, bbq, chilllin in the pool with music. Ah the best. We also went to this old place called the Ferrry Docks. There we just chilled and watched the guys jump off and do tricks. Ok, this is hilarious! Matt has a friend Chris who came to hang with us after he went garage sale shopping. He came back with the funniest things. These two, oh dear I dont even know what to call them. Like numbchucks, kinda. Well they looked like they could be sword like fire pokers, but they were great! Chris also bought this suit. It was like an austronaut suit without the helmet! Well these boys were quite crazy, they each took turns putting on this suit getting the lil swords and flying off the diving board in crazy poses, as one took a picture. Wow the pics turned out amazing! those boys are so crazy! it was awesome.

Well after all that Matts mom invited us to come back for bbq! So we did, only it wasnt a bbq! it was a full out meal of ham, mashed potatoes, peas, ceasar salad! Oh it was amazing! Then because we were so full and werent ready for dessert yet we all piled into the boat and had a blast wakeboarding and tubing all the way until the sun set in the mountains! *sigh* I love boats so much! Then came time for a delicious strawberry dessert! After we hit up Blenz Coffee where Chris was working and chilled there and me some more of Matts friends. Needless to say we got home quite late!

Sunday morning was hard to get up. But we did and headed out to Matts Chruch which I believe is called Trinity Church. It was good. The sermon was great. It was about mixing friends, he took the passage out of mark. How Jesus picked twelve completely different men for his disciples. It was really powerful. Then us girls decided to hit up the beach and get some more sun to even out our horrible burns! Oh ya see on Satruday when we had headed to the ferry docks it was really cloudy! I was sick of just prancing around in my bathinmg suit so I put a shirt on. Then as soon as the sun came out I took it off, only to realize I had gotten a major burn while I had my shirt on. And to make it worse it was a wierd shaped one in the back! So i look so blotchy! hahaha. Ok anywhoo. We walked around Kelowna and just took in the beauty. Later we headed back over to Matts and played a board game. It was called Agravation! BOy was it fun, and agrivating. It is like from the 80's or something! A mix between Sorry and Trouble. hahah. Then we went out to dinner to a fabulous place called, Wendys. Ah I hate fast food! Later we headed up to this hill where Matt was involved with this prayer meeting. It was great! So cool to meet so many on fire for Jesus Youth. All from different churches too. Just a bunch of young people who come to this mountain to pray. We heard some really powerful things. One story that really touched me was this girl there is getting married in a week. She has be dreadfully sick for two months now. She was there but feeling really bad. All she wants is to be able to walk down the aisle on Friday. Wow what a test. We also heard about a Haiti boy named Steeve. He is like 4 and needs a liver transplant. He is from and orphanage where the lady in charge is Canadian I believe, and right now there are people after her life. It is a crazy story. So please for those people keep them in your prayers!

Well Monday. Our last day there. It was so cold out. Werll not really cold but cloudy and drizzling a bit of rain! So we headed to the chapters and read magazines and drank Starbucks. Actually I just got a cup of hot water and put my tetley tea bag in it! heheh it wasnt as good. I think the cup makes it nasty! After we headed ofer once again to Matts. This time we played N64 Mario Cart! Ya it was awesome. Then we makde Blueberry Smoothies and sat in the sun that had just made its appearance! At 430 we decided to call it a weekend and headed home. On the way we stopped in Merritt for dinner. Much to our dismay we found the only restaurant in the town was ABC! hahah go figure! The rest of the drive went well chilling to music and playing the infamous game of connect the actors! Great fun indeed!
