Perfectly respectable outfit...

...'Til you see the bottom half.

Bring on the study attire.

Noise Complaints

We were complaining alright.

Take a look to see what had us up in arms.

Noisy night in the neighborhood, indeed.

Happy Birthday, i22

Today is our church's first birthday! To celebrate, we all gathered together for a yummy BBQ lunch at Brewster Park. The church has been growing so rapidly that we've already had to move to a larger location. We've met the past three weeks at the Scotiabank movie theatre on St. Catharines street and so far it has been great! All the extra space is much more conducive to meeting new people and making more friends-we love it. This is our new friend Morgan Thrall (married to our friend Sam who is in med school at McGill). We are so excited about geting to know her better! 

RAVI

One more post before I seriously sit down to study. This week Emily and I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Ravi Zacharias, of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, speak at McGill as part of the series 'Does Spirituality Matter?' For those of you who have heard Ravi before, you are likely to agree that he is a phenomenal speaker. We caught the second night, when he spoke on 'Given the Options...Why Jesus?' It was a profound message and it was so encouraging to see a packed out auditorium and overflow full of people seeking to learn more about a God who not only created life but gives it incredible meaning. If you're interested in hearing more along these lines, download some of the free podcasts on itunes– I did this morning and it was a great asset to my run...Nothing like getting fit and smart at the same time! 

Good Morning!

Kinsey here, good morning! Since being back on Tupper, Emily's and my schedules surprisingly match up, allowing us to go for runs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Because we had to miss our run yesterday, we made up for it this morning along the Lachine Canal. When we got home, we decided to make quinoa for breakfast (we're recently hooked on the stuff), and into it we mixed some fresh peaches, maple syrup, and brown sugar. It was divine! Now to a day of studying... Katie's already hard a work taking a practice LSAT! Ah the life of a student :) 

Change of Plans

Here's how our Saturday went: 

1. Study from 8am-630pm

2. Get ready for the Jars of Clay concert. 

3. Realize that the concert actually happened the night before.

4. Eat frozen yogurt (and candy and fruit) at YEH! to console ourselves.

5. Play my new favourite game: Monopoly Deal! 

6. And rearrange my room! 

7. Go to bed!

Not exactly how we thought we'd spend our Saturday evening, but a nice break from studying nonetheless! I am so thankful that I have roommates who I can have fun with whether we're singing our hearts out at a concert or cleaning my room. Love you ladies! 

Apartment Tour + A Special Video

Welcome to Tupper! Things have changed a bit since last year, so we'd like to give you an updated tour of the flat.

The living areas...

Katie's room...

Kinsey's pretty pink room...

Emily's photo-full room...

You may say, 'oh, how nice and tidy their apartment is.' Allow me to insist it took a lot of work to get it there... Enter: videographic proof. There's a lot going on in this two-minute masterpiece. What can we say; a summer apart drove us mad.

Cheers to a great year ahead!
