Welcome to my life...

This is my week - in no particular order...

This is my friend Bronwyn and I. We had a good time with a bunch of the girls this weekend. We went to do batik (kind of fancy paint by number type art on cloth). She teaches at the school and has a sweet spirit. She is Canadian but grew up in South Africa so she has a great accent!

This is the BATIK party! Brandi, Bronwyn, Jasmane, Me and Kari! We had a great day!

Brandi did the most beautiful Batik for her daughter. We got together and we designed our own patterns this week. Her's turned out the best. I loved it!
This is Brandi and I. She is American but has not been in America for quite some time now. She and her husband (who is a principal here) were teaching on a remote island (no really) for 7 years and then moved here last year. She's got a gentle way about her and I like spending time with her and her 3 girls!
This is my spicy South African, Jasmane! She is so much fun! We tease each other pretty much non-stop and she cracks me Up! She is also a woman of God and I see God using her in my life already. She is beautiful and is the mum to 15 yr old Dylan!

Myself and two of the dorm mom's (Aunt Vi and Aunt SUzette) decided to go to MOMMA MIA for a late night showing with some of the girls. I decided to compete with my friend's 6 in a picture self portrait and it turned out pretty good. It was my first movie in Malaysia and it was an evening to remember! (Sheena, Tiffany, Kat, Rami and me with Cat Foster in the front)
This is Cat. She's a redhead and I have always had a special spot in my heart for redheads! She is a guitar player and a song writer. I enjoy her very much :)
These two are entirely silly and dearest of friends. Sheena and I were born in the same hospital if you can believe it! She will be going to Moose Jaw at Christmas and I am entirely jealous! They wear their pj's to late night movies and tote about their pillows and sneak in snacks. They are great fun!
THis is Rami and Kat (yes, they're are two Cat/Kat's and they are in the same dorm!) They are beautiful and talented young women and I love teasing them. Kat is the president of the student counsel and is hands down the girl who can eat the most in the resident life program. Dont be decieved...
Tiffany is a sweetheart and a baller :) I love our talks and she gives the BEST hugs :) I am enjoying getting to know her. She is actually as cute as she appears.


This is one of my plants that lives in a big clay pot outside my house! I have Bamboo and a leafy guy and this beautiful flowering plant! I have enjoyed a few sets of flowers already since I got here.

This is Danae Frentz. She is my friend Tasha Frentz's cousin in law. Her husband, Chad, is cousins with Danae. She lives here in Penang and I went out to "Sizzling Chicken" with her parents and her last week after church. I have been friends with Tasha for a lot of years now, she was even my freshie when I was in gr. 12! Its funny how small the Christian circle can get.
This is Brem and Donna Frentz, Chad's aunt and uncle. They are lovely people who are serving God in Asia with the Christian and Missionary Aliance. It was a great lunch of fellowship followed up by a "Magnum" (walls icecream bar!). I was very blessed to have been invited to dine with them.


This is 'Rat Island" from a different view, my friend, Brandi's balcony view of the water.

All that wonderful stuff AND I have just recieved my first BIRTHDAY PRESENT! Kristi is coming to visit me for 10 days over my birthday in February! What fun to anticipate my first visit from a friend here in MALAYSIA! She'll get to see all these things up close!
SO that's my week in a nutshell! This life of mine is pretty wonderful I must say!
