Snow, in May!


A really bad shot, I know... But this was my day.

I woke up, started off my day... And of course, this being Port McNeill, it was pouring. Like... honest to god, serious heavy duty stingingly cold rain. Not fun!

So, I texted someone to complain about it being disgusting. We griped about it a bit... And then, magically, the rain stopped.

Yes. It stopped. In Port McNeill. In the middle of a storm. The sun came out!

I loved it, I stood outside for a second and thought "Thanks, universe. I appreciate your sarcastic sweetness to start my day."

And then it started snowing. And hailing. And driving sleet down my neck on my walk later.

And then tonight... it looks like this!

Gotta love the North Island.

Summer's Around the Bend!


Nearly. NEARLY. I can feel it in the air.

I am, of course, as always, completely and entirely run off my feet being busy! But things are good, in a fast paced way, and I'm enjoying school more than I ever have this semester. Okay, okay, it's still not FUN... but it's school.

Things with my family have been rough going, between my brother and his craziness, my mom and her work issues, and my dad never being around, it gets... interesting. Sometimes feels like I'm the only semi-stable person around... which is very disturbing...

Anyways... I really don't have much to say today! I can't wait for summer, I'm getting anxious for it. I want to get ON with my life, and just not do highschool anymore... I'm getting really quite tired of it.

I've been busy running plans for our annual youth conference, which this year is being held in McNeill. (Incidentally, heard a good one for the spelling of McNeill today -thank you Kelly- McNeill makes you Ill) I'm one of two youth coordinators for the event, which is fun, daunting, and exhausting. It's not that it's hard, it's just a matter of juggling 4 or 5 meetings and events daily.

Ah well! It's life, and the struggle makes me grow, and growing is always good.
