THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

Way to go Caitlind. Way to keep blogging. I'm so impressed
/sarcasm.


Big fat fail on my part,you know?
Well, Yesterday was my 19th birthday!
I feel old, yet I know that some day I will miss this.
Just as much as some days I wake up and I miss getting my brother ready for school in the morning. It's funny the things you start to miss.

I had a fantastic birthday, My friend Daniela, on the day before it, drove us to Victoria. I did more shopping for my family than I did for me, but it was a wonderful trip. Victoria is beautiful! We took many pictures and I found a new favorite store. It was all things Ireland. If I could have moved into that store and lived there I would have been complete.

We also went and looked at house boats. That would be such an adventure and a half. Maybe something I can try someday.

We went to a really neat store that had games and other fun stuff, and they had a shirt from Big Bang Theory that I wanted, but alas, they were all sold out. Such is the way things go I guess. I was also on the lookout for Star Trek Scene It, but again, no such luck. Thank God for the Internet I guess! I'm going to go buy one of those nifty prepaid visa thingies.

The day of my birthday was a Sunday. Sundays are ALWAYS packed. I've got church to go to, and then I have Kidz Town to do. Church was good. Pastor Mark gave what he thought was a heavy sermon. I found that his message was so important, yet it didn't feel heavy to me, but more of God was looking at me and saying, You know this Caitlind, and its time you start living it. That life is about God, first and for-most, and then everything else falls into place. But that is a another blog post entirely.

Then Delaena (the second oldest of the kids I live with, she's 8) pipes up on the way that since it was my birthday I get to pick lunch. So while we changed out of church clothes and a quick Happy Birthday call from my eldest sister I picked DQ. W00t for fast food!

After a very unhealthy and yummy lunch we headed to KidzTown. We were RAINED on. It was still a blast. I got to know a few people a bit better. God has been so great helping me get over some of my social anxiety issues. I had such a blast. The kids there touch my heart and I love that we are teaching them that there is hope in their lives.

Jesus loves the little children
or as Aubrey's dreamboat favorite singer puts it,

"Children of God, sing your song and rejoice

For the love that He has given us all

Children of God, by the blood of His Son

We have been redeemed and we can be called

Children of God"
-Third Day.

Back to DQ we went after KidzTown and had some birthday ice cream.
Then we headed home!

It was a wonderful birthday. I am very blessed.
