wind and palms

Winnipeg is one windy city today {and yesterday and the day before}.

When I was little the church I attended celebrated Palm Sunday, naturally. The weeks leading up to this lovely day were spent learning and rehearsing special Palm Sunday melodies that flitted and floated from the childrens room to the santuary on the day we commemorate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem town riding on a donkey. Our hands gripped palm branches as we paraded the greens across the church and down the aisles. We serenaded our mothers, fathers, omas and friends. I remember wearing pale floral dresses, the spring sun blinding my eyes and smiles abounding from every direction. I cherish the memory of this ritual.

In two weeks less a day I will be among swaying palm branches in their natural habitat. I will be wearing pale floral dresses and be humming hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest and be brought right back to my younger years.

that's it, that's all

I did it. It has yet to sink it, but it is done. Another semester bites the dust. I could not be more thankful.

This afternoon my most hilarious and dear professor took our class out for drinks. It was so kind of him and made me love my school even more than I already do. The best part about it was that there were two other classes at the pub doing the same thing. I'm going to say it: University of Winnipeg is the best. Royden Loewen, you are the best.

The next couple of days will include many trips to the gym (to counteract all the end of semester ice cream eating and also.. triathlon season is nearing!), Superstore, movies, going to my parents house, studying for exams (boo), maybe bike rides (!?) and lastly and most importantly, date night. Do I still have a husband!?

I have been feeling so crazy all day today. Giggling at inopportune times. Saying weird things out loud that I normally would not. This last weekend of school life put me over the edge.

Yikes bikes. Shut it down.
