so i am currently in winnipeg, canada.
its so strange that i have got to go to so many places and although all are in the north americas they are all so different. chicago, ohio, kansas, kingston ON and now Winnipeg.
so many people in this world live their lives so differently but yet in so many ways people are all the same. we all want to belong, we all want love and acceptance. to know that we matter to others and we all need Jesus.
i love travelling! i have made the decision to go to brazil in the summer and im excited to see how different things are down there. and to experience a culture that is totally different from Northern ireland or scotland!
it will be hard but exciting.
in the mean time i can continue to people watch and wonder what it is that makes us all so different but the same!
oh so random today i think i have not had enough sleep!

the day we had brazilian food and it was amazing
so i had my first experience of a brazilian resturant the other day, though it was in kansas city!!! but it was AMAZING!
i dont usually eat a lot of meat but if anyone was a veggie this would turn you!! they just kept bringing out so much good meat on these skewers and you ahve as much as you wanted of any of it! plus the salads were amazing so i was happy with that also!
we went for a birthday lunch and i pretty much couldnt move after and i didnt need anything for the rest of the day! but it was so good to be able to go out for a really good meal with really good people and have a wonderful time. it is such a blessing from God and i dont want to miss those, even though sometimes they seem like something so small and not that significant! this was definately a great day!

its tornado time
so the other night i nearly experienced a tornado!!!!
we were out in the van and just about to come home when this crazy storm started! i have never seem rain or hail like it, it was totally different from what we get at home. so we were trying to drive in it and then we got a phone call saying it wasnt safe to come home because all the sirens were going off in belton and the tornado had touched down on the freeway between where we were and home!
so we had to drive to someone elses and wait it out but where they lived about 15mins away it was hardly even raining! it was so crazy!
eventally it was ok and we could drive home.
and thats my first tornado story, a little scary but ok!
