Punch Bowl - Stoney Creek

It was an incredibly beautiful day and we had the day off - well... so we thought! Everyone managed to get home around 2ish... then we all jumped in the car and drove to Stoney Creek. We have this one hiking spot that we always go to, but thinking it would be a little muddy this time of year we decided maybe it was time to expand our horizon's a little! Hiking has to be one of the #1 things on my list of "things to just do". Fresh air, beautiful scenery, exercise, etc! Someone suggested this place and I'm so thankful we were able to go - it was beautiful (skip the name part)! 

 The hike to the hike...
The view was amazing - it was such a clear day you could see right across the lake. It was one of those days where the sun was shining so bright, the clouds were those big fluffy marshmallows, and the temperature was perfect!


 The Punch Bowl - little side note when we got down there... all the sudden we heard some "thunder". Everyone sort of jumped then dismissed it... however a few seconds later some more "thunder" then rocks started falling. Thankfully not on top of us, but it was close enough!
 Little man - big "ice-berg"


 The tunnel - Sometimes like life... we walk through dark times, but there is always light at the end... and there is always our Heavenly Father walking beside us to guide us to that perfect light! Thankful the light is coming! "Remember at night what you knew in the day till darkness fades away"
After the hike it was time for ice-cream... 

So thankful for this time of year where we are reminded of our Saviors sacrifice for us - How He gave Himself for us that we might have eternal life!

"The blood that Jesus shed for me...
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
It will never lose it's power

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
Will never lose it's power!"

2017 Re-Cap

2017 was an incredible year filled with MANY changes and experiences I never imagined would befall this little country 'gal. January - Started off with by returning to school (full-time) . In pursuit of me following my life long dream of becoming a Paramedic I needed to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math credits as it had been 6+ years since I last took any of the sciences. The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
