Andrew and I decided to get a little crafty... and wintery.
A night of rosebuds in a french press, chocolate waffles, stumbling on ice, adventuring around Edmonton, finding spur of the moment movie theaters, receiving flowers from the best guy I know, crafts, christmas, generosity of a loved friend letting us borrow her car,
snow, and the warmth of the indoors.
life lately...
walks in the snow, endless frost, morning darkness, night darkness. counting down the days
until I return home (december 14). piles and piles of homework (i am drowning). learning to
bridesmaid in a fake wedding for class. eating great homemade food (yay for groceries)!
looking forward to christmas.
Thanksgiving has long passed so now that Halloween is over it is officially
CHRISTMAS season in Canada!
Apparently the weather man got the memo and sent us some blizzard-y fun.
Yesterday, a bunch of my fellow students and I went out on an urban adventure that I planned for us. The goal was to experience downtown Edmonton and build relationships with the homeless community. We spent all day hanging out with people and having amazing adventures in the blizzard.
At night I got the amazing opportunity to work intake for a women's shelter. I met so many amazing women with crazy stories. It was such a wonderful day seeing God's heart for justice before my eyes, even through the falling snow.
(for every picture you upload here, there will be a meal donated to my friends downtown at the Hope Mission! It takes no time at all and you are actually putting a hot meal into someone's cold hands. Please take five seconds and do this!)
*some pictures from today around my neighborhood
My Halloween costume this year was Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games books,
mostly because I have been told countless times that we look alike.
And the best part-- the only thing I bought were the pants (from a thrift store)!
Also, if you're wondering who the random man in red is... it is Andrew dressed as
Stupendousman from the Calvin and Hobbes comics.
