Mexico - Canada

The return of Alexandra and Jose-Manuel! They finally received their visa's after the Canadian Embassy went on strike in Mexico and were on the plane to Canada. They are only able to stay for a month this time, but it's good to have them around! Trusting this time is fruitful and beneficial in many ways!
The one super hot day I was doing some baking for a girls night (invitation stuffing night) and Manny wanted to help me so he made the individual trifles
Ally made the pudding
And... everyone worked together on the watermelon bowl. I so appreciate Manny's willing attitude to pitch in and help wherever needed - such a blessing to have!

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.
