No internet... WHAT

As of Monday I will be internet less :( Well just at home, I will still have it at work but I have cancelled it at home as I need to be doing more exciting stuff... OK and it is EXPENSIVE! So you may hear less from me but I will do my best to keep you all updated on my life.

Adventure #1 Complete

I am currently on my first 4 days off since heather left. I have decided that every time I have no work I need to do something exciting... It could be painting the house, going away... or something else but there is no way I am going to sit around for the summer.

Keeping with that goal the moment I got off work Monday I was gone! I went to Calgary for the night to visit Kassi and go to her shower. It was so WONDERFUL to see her again, it has been way too long! Then on Tuesday I was able to stop in for a visit with the family heather used to live with and with Ani! It was so great seeing everyone it had been way too long! However I was extatic to arrive home last night. I was missing my bed!

I bet you just can not wait to hear about my next adventure... where will it be too you ask... TORONTO!!!!

It's Time to Grow up

This morning at 4am I dropped Heather off at the airport:( Now I am starting my first summer away from home. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.

And Photo Season is Officially in Full Swing

One More Reason I Love my Church

During our prayer and sharing time today we were told a wonderful story that I want to share with you.

There is a young teen in Moose Jaw, we'll call her Jane, who had a dream, she wanted a bike. However Jane was from a family who were unable to afford a bike for her or her sister. The other problem, Jane has a disability and she needed a special, very expensive bike. Jane's family tried to get her a bike through different organizations but they were turned down as Jane wouldn't get these organizations enough publicity.

This family gave up hope on getting Jane a bike. During this time someone came forward to buy their younger daughter a bike, she didn't need a special bike so it was easy to get her one. When the younger daughters bike was brought to the house she refused to ride it, if Jane couldn't have a bike to ride she wasn't going to ride hers either.

Our pastor heard this story and brought it to our church. Heather and I weren't at church last week and so we had heard nothing about it. Our church decided that God wanted them to buy Jane this bike. So they wasted no time and ordered Jane her bike.

This past week a couple from our church were able to bring Jane her bike. When they pulled up to the house the little sister came running to the window, she got a huge smile on her face and said "Jane, they brought you your bike!" This girl was so excited because finally she would be able to ride bikes with her big sister!

I Love how God brings around opportunities to reach out and bless people when we least expect it!

what you can do with 25 1/2 hours

Briercrest has a lot of weird traditions, one of which is to go to breakfast in Banff. This is something I didn't manage to do before I graduated however it is something I have now done!

Saturday night at 10:40pm Heather and I, along with 2 friends loaded up in a car and headed off to Banff. With a few stops (one of which was to sleep for a couple hours), we made it there by 10:00am! We then went out for breakfast, went shopping, took far too many pictures and by 2 we were back on the road to start our trip home. We were home by midnight!

And off we go

We Made it To Alberta, and we're still going strong

We're here!

I love being a Tourist!

What Happens When There's 80km/h Winds

Yesterday I was walking down Main Street in Moose Jaw and all of a sudden out of no where there was a garbage can flying at me! Not one of those little garbage can but the big, heavy, square ones!

Justin

I have a confession... I REALLY like this song! I know it's by a 15 year old guy but it's stuck in my head and ya. I found out today that Justin Bieber is Canadian! Anyways enjoy

Time to Dust off that Camera

I haven't been taking many pictures over the past few months but today I decided that it was time to change that so I brought my camera out for a little adventure!

Party in the USA

Last week I had the opportunity to drive out to Toronto with Krista. We left Thursday at 9:30am, right after I got off work.

Day 1 We drove down to North Dakota and spent the night on the boarder into minesota.

Day 2 We drove through Minesota, wisconson and illinois (well a corner of it) and we spent the night in indiana

Day 3 We drove the rest of the way through indiana, then michigan and in to ontario. We were able to stay with my aunt and uncle and to see lots of the fam!

Day 4 I flew out of Toronto at 9am, back to the flatlands

Shoes

Most of my life I had no interest in shoes. I wore them only becuase I had to. I didn't really care what they looked like, as long as they were comfy. In high school I was HUGE into flip flops, I'd wear them all year round and they were great cuz they were really easy to color coordinate! When I moved out here I probably brought with me 5 pairs of shoes, yes this included my flip flops.

Well last February I bought my first pair of heals and I don't know what happened. I am not a shoeaholic. In the past month I have bought 6 pairs of shoes... 6 IN A MONTH!!! I have lots of flats, a few heals, sandals, runners, boots... I have it all and I can't stop! I always look for good deals on shoes when I'm out and if I find one I just can't but buy them. The good thing is I rarely spent more than $25 on a pair of shoes, with the exception of runners and work shoes. But really this has got to stop! So here is my pledge.

I, Andrea Keno, will not buy more than 1 pair of shoes a month... unless it's Bogo!

April Photo Opp!

Today Heather and I went to Regina to pick up some stuff from Costco and we decided to go to the parliament building to take some pictures. Here are a few of them:

Memories

I was cleaning my room today and came across some CD's with old pictures on them. Here are a few from my trip to Guatemala in 2006
