S'up y'all! I promise, I am still here and reading blogs, just not taking the time to write any! I write my final exam on Wednesday night so I've been totally consumed with school stuff, but when it's over I'll have free time to write updates again. I can't wait!!
Stay tuned...but don't expect much until Thursday...

A Birthday Novel to a Wonderful Friend
On this 10th day of July, in the year 2006, I feel inspired to write a blog for my friend Lana. We have been through an insane amount of experiences together, and today on her 26th birthday I'm going to reminisce a little, as my sentimental nature is prone to do!! This is going to be a little long...
Lan, we went through high school together, which in itself holds too many stories to mention, although Mr. Matwichuk's grade 8 Bible class will always be a treasure :) I was called 'Lana' more times than I could count on 100 hands... Have I ever mentioned that my massage therapist's name is Lana??... Spending a summer going through your dad's old dental patient files and determining that we will NEVER become dental hygenists... Going to White Rock in the summer with your mom and letting her fend off the creepy, drunk men (and incidentally, as I'm writing this I am laughing so hard I can barely type properly!)... Hockey games, oh such sweet hockey games, with your dad yelling at the refs, offering them his glasses (again, more laughter!)... Studying for Provincial exams and other important stuff that we don't remember anyway... Basketball games watching our teams win and lose and the rivalry between us and Abby Sr... Wasn't Jeff Burkinhshaw in the Eagle costume when the Abby guy pulled the head off?!... Crazy Hal, ah yes, Crazy Hal... The favorite ritual of McDonald's french fries and chocolate ice cream after basketball (and hockey?) games... Grad outing to Grizzlies vs. LA Clippers NBA game... Surprise visits to Trinity from Briercrest... Escaping from Alberta to visit you in Abby... My notorious good timing when you were working at Fraserway RV... My history of Murphy's Law experiences at your house!!... Coming to visit for the year 2000 New Year's party at Leon's... Being able to be at your dad's funeral... Having you to go through break-ups with me... Making time for a quick visit when you came out for Breakforth... Always having you to keep me "in the loop" of Abbotsford news... You meeting Lee... Meeting David... Being your Maid of Honor... Having you as my Matron of Honor... Being phoned the day Noelle was born and flying out to meet her... And that's only our friendship so far!!
In honor of this day that is yours, here is a short summary of our friendship in pictures. I could have picked more, but I didn't want to make an enemy, so I had to be choosy!!
Happy Birthday, my dearest Lana!!

Midterm Results
Well, well, well, as usual...who's the worst blogger you know?? Me! My friend Lindsey commented on my few and far between blogs, so here's why:
I have been studying my behind off for this Anatomy and Physiology class, so I am overjoyed to report that my obsessiveness seems to be paying off! I wrote my midterm last Wednesday and when I called for my grade, was informed that my 94% exam was top in my class, and actually in the program!!!!!!! Now I ask you -- How stoked am I??!? My midterm assignment that I handed in a couple of weeks ago came out at 91%, which was near the top, but I can't remember exactly. So there is half of my course mark, and now I prepare for the next 4 weeks of class before I write my Final exam at the beginning of August. Cruising right along...
Anyway, I need to get to bed so I can get up for work at 5:30 in the morning, so see ya for now!
