After such a busy weekend I have loads of interestingly awesome things to share.
On Friday night after work I drove myself over to my friends house and shortly after my arrival we departed for the city. We had big plans in the way of the cinema and we did not disappoint ourselves. After a quick supper at Subway we felt full enough to embark on the long journey back across the parking lot to the theater. We were quite smart about our lives and we purchased tickets before getting supper to ensure ourselves seats. The movie was Ender's Game. And lovely it was. I quite enjoyed the movie, far more than most book-to-movie creations that I've come across in the past. (Nicool, I'd like your thoughts if you don't mind.)
On Saturday morning I got the always enjoyable opportunity to volunteer at the Ten Thousand Villages on the south east corner of the four corners in town. You can't miss it, it's the only one here. Anyways, I productively observed all of their new items in the warmth while the rain persistently fell on the streets beyond our windows. I wasn't going to buy anything but then I realized that the Mennonite Girls Can Cook Celebrations cookbook is a must have item, so I happily purchased it and flagged all the recipes that I plan to make in the future.
In the afternoon I got back in the car and drove about 20 minutes west to visit my mentor who has an adorable and very energetic toddler. There were many races around the island and many more airballs while playing basketball in the basement. After said child was put to bed we watched What to Expect When You're Expecting and then I took my return to my humble abode.
On Sunday I woke up at the correct time because I have a spectacular alarm clock that changes the time for me. We went to church and then went to one of the other Mennonite churches in town for the Chili Cook-Off. I love chili, especially by the crock-pot.
To work off all the chili, my friends and I went to The Point to take pictures and go for a good walk. It was quite beautiful with all the trees changing colours and all the leaves falling.
In the evening on Sunday I got to attend Youth which was a lovely games night. Our pastor opened the night with a devotional and then the group of us that stayed in The Youth Room played Apples to Apples till it was time to leave.
I was quite surprised that after such a long weekend I felt rather refreshed this morning. I anticipate another excellent week!
It's 7:44, or is it 8:44? this is t-bear signing off
