This will probably be my last update before school starts..then im' gonna have no life and no time to blog...aiiiiiiii.....well, the past two weeks have just been CRAZYYYY man...i feel like i haven't had much time to just sit down and reflect..sometimes life is so busy that we dont' realize what we're doing and what we're missing..i guess i kinda feel that way even though august has been super-awesome..i think this is the best summer i've had so far..well, after camp...my cousins came from Colorado with my aunt and uncle..and..we've pretty much had family dinners and such every night..went to Montreal/Quebec city with them for three days...chinese bus tours are actually FUN when you have lotsa people ther to talk to..well it was the four of us..my only real cousins in north america that are my age..so....it was really fun...we went to Mt.Tremblant the first day, and went luging where we raced down a mountain slide in these little go-carts..Well, that first day was relaxing..we walked around Mt.Tremblant.which is its own town on top of a mountain the size of Wonderland. At night it is beautiful..all the hotels and shopps are lit up and colourful..and you can just sit anywhere on the mountain and watch the sunset..God's creation is really amazing..its too bad humans have polluted and destroyed nature..and yet there are places that we haven't ruined, and he's made it so wonderful it takes your breath away. well anyway...got back from that..and thursday spent the day with my cousins and brought them to playdium.went shoppin gat square one but didn't buy anything (weird!)

Hosanna/Alethia Camp was on friday...i guess that was fun!! The best thing about it was that alethia and hosanna were together..we went to Edgewood Camp and slept in bug-less, cold-less cabins..soo NICE!! The most memorable thing at camp was drenching garry during the Water-hunt..whcih lasted for like 2 hours....it went prety good at the beginning..then alethia ganged up on us younguns...and we lost..then everyone just started drenching people for fun!!!! It was great...got to know alot of the younger Hosanna kisd better..but now that i'm leaving i'll miss watching them grow up!! *sigh* we all grew up so fast!

hmm..other stuff from last week..went to CNE with my cousin and sister...then on monday went out to Lobster Trap to celebrate my birhtday w/my family...then they left the next day. mmmmM that place has like 4lb labsters..they're crazy huge..and scary looknig...and avenue road and ellesmere is SCARRYY place to be..almost got our car window broken by some mad motorcyclist..so rude..anyways...so that's it..

Well, this weekend...i turned 17..and..it was an awesome weekned..spent most of it with my school friends, church friends, and chris...thanks everyone for makign it so fun! Friday was Alethia/Hosanna potluck and worship with SoleDrive band..then saturday was [dot]COM's first playoff game againt Dunamis! we won 9-6 and got to second round where we played Revelation and got beat....but itso kay..we kept our heads up and didn't beat ourselves up for losing..to me, and probably the rest of the team, our last playoff game was the Dunamis game...and it was a season ending in a victory..we played our hardest and had fun to the fullest..thanks TEAM for just being you, summer wouldn't be as exciting without you guys...hope to see you all next year! Then sunday, went to dinner @Milestones with Ward people..i'm glad i met these people..cuz alot of people i know..don't really make real friends at school..or they don't like them..but these are really genuine people, especially the girls, and they make school fun.at least as fun as school can be! I couldn't make it through last year or and this year without them..so thanks for being constant support for me guys =)
