31.12.12

1 week

So just wanted to share a little overview of my trip so far... Its been absolutely the BEST week in so many levels... I have been able to share, love, laugh and cry with my sister. I love her so much its crazy and this time here has been so good.
On my first evening here we were together with Chris's family. Just celebrating Christmas, eating turkey, unwrapping presents (i think I might have a problem when I go back to Estonia with fitting all my stuff into 2 suitcases)... Anyway it was just a good cozy evening and we went to bed already 8pm coz everyone were exhausted. I mean i had been traveling for more then 20 hours and I was ready to go to bed. So ready. I think I actually got over yet-lag within 2 first days which is great.
So on my second day here we went shopping 8am coz it was a boxing day which means sales everywhere... We were walking around the stores like 5 hours. Hahah, that was crazy I must say. So many people. I didnt get tons of stuff but what I got was worth it and it was also V's Christmas present for me! After shopping went back to the house where all kinds of relatives gathered to share food and hang out. And then it was time to drive to Guelph where V-Chris live... So it was such a joy to finally come here and rest (oh and we actually visited their friends just before we came home). Which we kind of did and kind of didnt (the rest I mean), coz the place needed to be tided up after Christmas and so we did that the whole day. I think on Friday we walked around stores again and visited V+C good friends and I must say their little boy was such a little sweetheart (me and little boys).
I have no memory of Saturday. Really, I just cant remember right now...
But what happened yesterday, on Sunday I do remember. We went to Toronto to Annely's church. She is an Estonian married to a Canadian just like my V is. I was invited to lead half of the worship there which I did but through rocks and stones coz for the first time ever I had to change the guitar strings, whuuu, crazy. But I did it and Im still so proud of myself, really... :) I always said that oh I have others who can do that, but heck, I managed... I did 3 songs and it was hard for me since it was me both playing and singing but I trust God that He knows why I was needed there. :)
So after church we went out with Annely and John and Aria (sweeeet baby) and then drove back to Guelph. Me and V had a wonderful evening together. The best evening Ive ever had with her, seriously. We went to see The Hobbit (I hoped for more maybe but loved what I saw on the screen) and after that went to Tim Hortons and had a heart-to-heart conversation. I have missed that so much. And man I love that girl... Really. :) Proud of her walk and journey. She is such an incredible woman.
Anyway its the last day of 2012 and Just wanted to send you a BIG HUG and dont worry, Ill be back in 2 weeks... :) HAVE a wonderful end to this year and even better start to next!!!!! :)
