Puddle jumping

So it is 2 in the morning and my small group just left my house. Yep that’s right, they were here late again. Though what does that have to do with puddle jumping? Well, just as Katie was heading out the door she informed us that it was raining cats and dogs outside. A few of us had been planning a puddle jumping party for Sunday after church, but this was the perfect opportunity. I let Erin use my rubber boots, I got some flip flops we rolled up our pants and outside to enjoy the rain we went. So here I am sitting all wet by my computer, making a puddle of water on the floor underneath me, capturing the moment before it passes away. If it was a little warmer I would still be out there getting soaked by the rain. But for now I should probably be heading off to bed.

Random Road Trips

So... Danielle... this post is for you. To let you know about a little adventure I had yesterday. It actually all started Wednesday when my small group was over. It was nearly midnight. Everyone was getting ready to leave and beginning to remember what time they had to get up in the morning. My friend Erin proceeded to mention how she had to drive out to Morden again to teach dance the following day (as she does every Thursday). I happened to say out loud that I would go if only I knew someone I could visit with while I was there. Erin then jumped on my willingness to go and got really excited, and asked me to come. So I found myself saying yes because I was due for a random road trip.

The next day, at about 2 o'clock, Erin picked me up and we began our road trip. When we got to there, after a little errand and a bit of set up, and run through for her, she began her first dance class. (She does 6, one hour classes, starting at 430 ending at 1030)

To pass the time I went for a walk and did some reading and watched parts of her dance classes. Then I decided to take her car to explore. I found a clothing store off the main road, and looked around for a little while. Following the clothing store I decided to go the opposite way I had been going down the main road. As I was driving, I realized that I was leaving the little town of Mordan and that I should probably turn around. Though by this time it was fairly dark and I couldn't see the exits very far in advance. As a result I found myself on a little adventure to the city of Winkler (only a ten minute drive away). I came to the conclusion that Winkler would probably have a Tim Hortans and I would find one and buy what I could with the 2 dollars in my pocket. As soon as I entered the city, there was a timmies on my right. I also noticed a Wal-Mart on my left and decided to go there after my timmies run.

By the time I returned to Erin’s dance class it was the adult class and I was allowed to join in. In all, it was a wonderfully fun day.
