Grad dinners and family and movies, oh my!

Life has been busy the past week. The busy-ness started on Friday, the beginning of my wonderful visit with Mom and Dad. I hadn't seen them since January 4th. Dad walked into the lab about 3 pm, a whole hour early! I was so excited that I spilled agar all over the bench, but that's okay! When I got off work at 4:30, my parents picked me up and then we went for dinner to Spring Rolls on Yonge Street. It was a long day for them, as they stayed up until almost 4 am talking with Annie. I went to bed around 1 pm.

On Saturday, we just went driving around Toronto. We decided against a day out and about since it was raining. That night, Annie held a dinner party with the Cusack family. It was really fun. There were lots of laughs.

The weekend flew by so quickly, I couldn't believe that they were leaving just after breakfast on Sunday morning. We all hopped into the car together, and Dad dropped me off at the Greyhound station, where I caught the bus to Waterloo for Grad dinner and stayed overnight with my Dawn Dawn! (Thanks so much!)

Grad dinner was really nice. I saw a few people I haven't seen in ages. As much as I've been looking forward to grad dinner, it was a little tough as well. I didn't get to share since it was cut short, but to any graduate reading this, my prayers are with you, that God will lead you to do what He is blessing, and you will be filled with His vision and passion for your life and ministry.

Last night, Karen and I went to see Mystic River. It was a fantastic film... very intense, lots of emotion. Unfortunately, it was also a little heavy on the language, but I don't think that the language was gratuitous. To me, it was a movie about humanity. It makes you think about thinking before you act....

Anyways, I'm off to a seminar tonight (with free pizza! hehehe) Perhaps I will have something deeper to say soon... for now, my head is a bit tired from all this excitement! Toodles ^_^
