Summer 2007 part 2

CANADA'S WONDERLAND!!!!
I had not gone to Canada's Wonderland in years so Denise and I decided to go one day over the summer break because we both wanted to go. It was a great day, the weather was gorgeous and we only almost got into 2 car accidents getting there because we got turned around....LOL....overall a great day. It was the first time I ever went on an upside down rollercoaster.... I had always been too scared to go on but it was actually a lot of fun and I will definitely go on another one!!! A beautiful shot in front of the big waterfall at the beginning of out day....
During the summer we also had a nice birthday party for my Grandpa. It was a lot of fun seeing most of my family and I was able to get some good photos!!! Here is a great photo of my mom, Grandpa, and aunt Elenore.
Smile parents!!! I am happy that this photo turned out so well!!!
Time with the cousins was great because I do not get to see them very often but when I do it is great because they are so cute and smart. It was nice to catch up with them!

As the summer was coming to a close I was getting sad to leave everyone again because I had been home for so long that I really wanted to stay and make a life in Canada, I think I could have been happy to stay but I made a commitment to come back to England and I am looking forward to spending another year in Europe and there are going to be many more adventures to come because there are still many places I want to be able to go and see this year.....so keep checking back to see how I am getting along in Europe!!!

Summer 2007 part 1

Coming back to Canada was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and friends because I know that I am only here for a matter of weeks and I want to make the most out of my time at home that I can! I am working at the pool with Brie, one of my friends who is also a lifeguard so it will be a chilled out summer. I am going on a girls weekend with some of my friends from uni which I am looking forward to and I am going to be just taking it easy!!!!

Here are a couple pics of the girls weekend in Grand Bend!!! LOTS and LOTS of fun!!! We only were able to spend a few nights there but it was quality and I was soooo happy that I was able to see the girls again!

This is the girls getting ready to go out on night number 1!!!! Lets go out and have some fun in the Bend!!!

Dinner on the last day at the Bend...the sunset this night was amazing so we decided to eat on the patio...it was not very nice during the day so we didn't actually get to to go the beach a lot but we still managed to have a lot of fun and it was overall and amazing weekend which will be repeated again next year!!!!

The last night in the Bend sure had some crazy times and I do not know how this picture was taken but it is classic and I am so happy that it is part of my collection!!!

Tamara's brithday was right after I got home and we went out to Cowboys to have a great night out...it was a country good time and the singer was very hot!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMARA!!!!

My first little while at home was amazing but I know there are going to be many more good times had by all....keep tuning in to see how everything goes down in the remainder of the summer months!!!

Final Times in Canterbury June 2007!!!

These are some of the pics that will highlight the last month of my PGCE year!!!!Katy and Elaine having a great night!

Clare and I getting ready to go out and you can see by my eyes that I am already feeling very happy!!!

Lucy....this was one of my bestest over the year in Canterbury and I am so happy that we are going to be able to hang out again next year!!!! Good times ahead.

Kate, Wid and I in Alberrys...some good times were had there and I am sad to say that they will not be in Canterbury next year and I am going to miss them a lot but I wish them all the best in their new lives in Spain and Bermuda!!!!

Elaine, Katy and I on one of the last nights out in the city.

So my final few weeks in Canterbury were amazing...and actually not the final weeks at all because it turns out the I was offered a job here and I am going to take it so that I will be here another year. I am kind of nervous about the job but it will be all ok and I am sure that it is the right thing to do. So with that being said the only thing to do was have a great time with the people I have met here because I may not see them all again in a very long time, some I will since we will be in Canterbury together still but not all of them so spending time with them was the right thing to do!!!

I am not going to write a lot about my last few weeks except to say that they were amazing and I met some of the best people of my life this past year. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make my time in Canterbury worthwhile!!!
