Bright Nights in Stanley Park
On Thursday, we went on a train ride through Stanley Park to see the Christmas Lights with our small group from Granville Chapel. Afterwards we warmed up with some beverages from Starbucks! Enjoy the pictures!

The Christmas Story
We attended Regent's annual Christmas service last night. It was great to sing carols, read scripture, light candles and sip on Apple Cider to get into the Christmas spirit! Enjoy the video! A Regent student from New Zealand's home church made this! They showed it last night during the service and it was such a hit! Enjoy the Chirstmas Story!

Shortest update ever!
Short update...
21 more days until Christmas Vacation!! Getting so excited to go home and see our family and friends!
Our house would still love to have some wonderful people living in it! We changed property managers about a week ago, so let's hope for good news soon! :-)
I've gotten some new responsibilities at work! (the gymnastics center) Curriculum planning! So fun! I've missed being a teacher so much this semester and this allows me to be a little creative and take some ownership over the activities everyone gets to teach!
Matt rec'vd a B on his diagrammatic summary assignment that he seemed rather pleased with. Go Matt!

State Champions!
This isn't really news about Vancouver, but news from back home in North Carolina that was just too exciting not to share. West Stokes High School, (my old high school) just defeated Kinston High School to win the 2AA State Championship Football Game!!! Unbelievable! I was able to watch the last part of the game online which was pretty fun! Isn't technology great!
When the new school opened in 1999 (I'm getting old!) I was a sophomore and cheerleader for the Varsity Football team. At the time our football team was not the pride and joy of our community. Don't get me wrong, everyone loved going to football games, but our team was a joke. The local news stations would even make fun of us for loosing so much. Our first two seasons, we lost every game. Many of the scores were 82-0, 78-0, etc... (don't quote me number by number, remember I'm getting old. Either way, that's pretty bad!!)
It wasn't until my Senior year that we finally won a game against Salisbury! You would've thought the goalpost would come down with the excitement of that win! We won two other games that season against North Stokes and South Stokes. What a year that was for us! County Champs!
I can only imagine what the town of King is like at this moment. State Champions! (They even canceled the local Christmas Parade due to the game today) Who would've thought that our football program would've come so far. I'm super proud of our football team and glad to say I was on the sidelines cheering the Wildcats on from day one of the program! Congrats West!!
