its been a while. 

first. i want to tell all those in winnipeg, bc, neepawa, or wherever else that i miss you all!!! its been a good summer so far. i got a full time job working at tim hortons from 6am-2pm everyday. (yucky early) and i am spending the majority of my free time with luke. 

i have taken up a new (and may i say fantastic) sport....ultimate frisbee! our name is disc proof, and below is a picture (in case people actually dont believe me that i can run around for a whole game and enjoy it). included on the team is luke's brother and sister. and ash, that pink frisbee is mine. i hope you like.



anyways, other than timmys and frisbee, i might be getting another job at michael house (this home for single women who are pregnant or have really young children and cant live on their own). i might be working there as relief staff just on weekends or something. im not sure yet. more to come. 

umm i cant think of anything else. other than the fact that i miss my mulvey house. but i am also so glad to be home. i continually feel God's blessings. 

thats a rap.

So, in Guelph, where I live in Ontario, we have street signs that are named after those who have fought in the war. And about a year ago, my dad wrote into the city and asked them if they could make a street "PENFOLD" after my great uncle penfold. And it has finally happened.

Penfold Drive!!

Here's a pic that my dad sent me:

 with her to Walmart, but he gets bored with all the shopping trips.

 He prefers to get in and get out, but Mrs. Fenton loves to browse.
 Here's a letter sent to Mrs. Fenton------

 Dear Mrs. Fenton,

 Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion
 in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may ban both of you
 from our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video
 surveillance equipment. All complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed
 below.

 Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse was shopping in 
Wal-Mart:
 1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
     carts when they weren't looking.

 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
     intervals.

 3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
    restrooms.

 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone,
    Code 3' in housewares..... And watched what happened.

 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on
    layaway.

 6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

 7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other
    shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding
    department.

 8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry
    and asks, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

 9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror,
    and picked his nose.
 
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the
    clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.

 11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly Humming the
     "Mission Impossible" theme.

 12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" 
    using  different size funnels.

 13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through,
      yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

 14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
     assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices
     again!!!!"

  And last, but not least.....

 15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile,
    and then yelled very loudly, "There Ain't NO toilet paper in here!"

  Regards,
  
   Walmart

so this morning i had to work at 7:30am. so my alarm went off at 7:00 (at least i thought it was that time). i ate my breakfast and got all ready to go to work, went outside and started walking to work. it seemed really dark outside and quiet, but i just listened to my music. as i got to tim hortons, i noticed that there were no cars in the drive though, and i thought wow thats weird, but i just kept going. i walk up to tim hortons and there's customers in the store so it was all good. then i walked in, looked at the clock and it was 2:30AM!!!!! All the night staff were there and they were like, "what are you doing here?"

i seriously think i might have a sleeping problem, because i have not been sleeping properly, and wake up like 5 times a night. also i have this compulsion thing to always check my alarm clock like 3 times before i go to bed, to make sure it is the right time and set at the right alarm time. so, i dont know what happened, but last night was weird.

i even changed the clock on the microwave to the time that i thought it was because i thought they were wrong. :(

this morning was great! i was standing at the bus stop waiting to take the 60 and fully prepared to be late for my class because i would miss the transfer to the 66 bus. but just to my amazing luck, a 'not in service' bus pulls up and picks me up. the bus driver says "you are always standing here at the bus stop when i drive by." 

so i sit down and am excited now that i won't miss my other bus. he starts asking me questions, one of them being what do you study? i tell him geography and psychology. he says, "i have a psychology question for you!" i'm thinking oh no...i am going to look stupid now. but he asks:

"a rocket ship lands in your front yard, you get in and it brings you to a parallel universe. it drops you off again in your front yard and you go into your house and meet yourself. Now...do you get a long with yourself or not?"

haha we also talked about ugg boots and the bus system and why over half the busses are always out of service. 

he also explained that one time he picked up a cute little old lady with a walker while he was not in service, and she phoned in to tell the transit system what a nice thing that was for him to do. and the bus system actually was angry with him for doing that, because it is not allowed, and he got written up for it. NOT COOL!

this bus driver made my morning all the better. i wasnt late for my class, and it was fun to talk to a total stranger. i wish there were more people in the world like him.

and i also opened up a bank account today to save money!! that 3% interest will be fun!

this weekend was filled with fun cause my bro and sis came to visit. we played some killer bunnies, nintendo wii, ate some boston pizza and smitty's breakfast, and best of all, got to see JARS OF CLAY (and for free!!) Here's some pics:
