I've been slacking the past few weeks when it comes to posting on my blog. I guess when life is just so busy it makes it harder to write because there's soo much to say. So here it is as short as I can make it:
On the 17th of September, I went to my friend Sarah and Fraser's wedding, and had a great time, although I was so tired driving all the way to Courtney and back, since Mike tore his calf muscle and couldn't drive.
The following weekend it was another long drive by myself to Port Alberni to say goodbye to baby Bronson and Jenn as they were heading down to California on Sunday the 24th. We had her a nice baby shower, and then it was very sad to say goodbye to them. I hope they have arrived safely in Passadena and are getting settled into their new home. But Mike and I are sure going to miss playing games with Jenn and Matthew, and seeing little Bronson grow. But, I might go and visit them during my reading break in November, if I can.
Then, this past weekend I had to go all the way to Tofino and back for ANOTHER wedding. And it's not even the last one this year. But, the wedding was beautiful, on the beach and the weather was gorgeous. I've posted a pic above of Tim and Andrea taken after the ceremony. But, Mike and I carpooled with our friends Matt and Sarah, which was nice because I didn't have to drive the whole way. The four of us had a sleepover on Mike's mom's floor, which was a lot of fun.
And, the biggest new of all is that Mike finally got his RCMP interview, and he passed it, which means he is closer to being on his way to Regina for 6 months. I don't think I'm ready for that, but we'll see when the time comes I guess.
I also found out I'm going to be doing my practicum at Oak Bay high school, which is my cousin Colby's high school, so that will be interesting as well. But, I'm looking forward to having a break from classes for two whole weeks! Yeah! It'll be very nice.
I've also been planning how my traveling might work out this year, because I might be going to california, then to Regina to visit Mike when he goes, then to Saskatchewan for our friend Kim's wedding next September, and on top of that, our church is planning a missions trip to Africa, and I've been seriously thinking about going. We would fly to Nairobie and then one group would stay in Kenya and the other would fly to Tanzania. I'm not sure which I'd want to do, but I would be able to teach English for three weeks to children if I went to Tanzania. We also would get to spend 2 days on the Indian Ocean, and one day on a Safari, which would be a really amazing experience. But, we'll see if it happens or not. I'm unsure if I would be able to handle a trip like that without Mike there with me, or if I'd want to. But, at the same time, it's probably one of the only chances I'd ever have of spending three weeks in an African village. And, we're getting the missionary rates for our flights, which saves us a lot of money.
I'll keep praying about it and hopefully it'll work out somehow.

I had a lot of fun. Who is this by the way?
Sabrina,
Missions trip to Africa? OOOH. Do you have to be a member of your church to go? Like, might they take pity on your going-with-no-husband-and-all-by-your-lonesome self and let a certain friend tag along with you???????
I'm serious. Would they?
Love, Amanda
Maybe, I could certainly ask for you. They can only take about 25 people, and about 30 have shown up for the first meeting, but I really doubt most will end up coming, since it's really a big expense, so there will likely be room for anyone who wants to come. The only thing I'm not sure about is the flight since we've already booked seats to fly out of Vancouver. You also have to do an interview, but maybe over the phone? I'd love the company!
