A Much Needed Bullet Update

Yay! Finally, my dial-up decided that I should be able to post an update. Imagine how red my face was when I realized how long it has been since I last blogged. (To be fair, not having Internet at my home this summer and only having access when at work really did cut into my ability to post)
So in order to bring everyone up to speed, I think I shall do a point-form list of my past few months, starting based from my last post.

- Finished out the school year and sadly moved out of my sweet apartment in Toronto. Also, after seeing the neurologist, managed to get a hold on my migraines! Woo hoo!
- Before moving out of Toronto, I discovered that I would be moving to PEI for my 8 month internship. Talk about fitting: the girl who has a blog that is named after a Anne of Green Gables quote, now moves less than 20 minutes from Green Gables
- I was Director of the same day camp that I worked at the past summer. In total, the staff team reached 13, our Jr Leaders numbered 15 and our camps grew from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. However, this time was not without challenge. The chair of my Camping Committee
(also the husband of my boss), who is also a close family friend, faced allegations that while in ministry he sexually assaulted two teens. This was a huge blow. Not only did I have to sort through how I felt about it, but I also had to help the staff team navigate this. I also in many ways was thrown into a PR role, being put in the role of being the approachable face attached to the situation. I am still unpacking what that whole experience. I know that there was a lot of good, but tough learning.
- While working at camp, I lived with a Swiss farming family who were members of the church. I will probably write other posts about them. Oh man! It was an entertaining summer with them. Often times, dinner felt like I was in a foreign film without subtitles!
- I was also blessed to have a great summer working and living with my little brother. It had been seven years since we had lived together. It was amazing that I got to get to know him as an adult. He is no longer the seven year old that I always picture in my head. We had a great summer together, both looking into huge transition times. He was heading off to university and me off to PEI
- My maternal Grandfather (my only living grandfather) took a turn for the worst. His previously misdiagnosed Alzheimer's kicked up a notch and he ended up in the hospital... multiple times. He is now living in a nursing home, while my Grandmother lives in the house that they shared for 60 years by herself. It has been scary and sad to watch my mother and my aunts and uncles wrestle with this new reality. Also to watch my Grandmother, who is a fearsomely strong women cope with this change.
- The move out to PEI was a wonderful trip with my mother. It was three long days of driving but for the memories it was amazing. I will definitely be posting about it later
- My internship here on the Island has me living up on the North Shore, right outside the National Park, with an ocean bay view. I am working at a 5 point pastoral charge. Translation: I work for five churches. My supervisor and I get along really well and the congregations are great. I have been loving living here! If only I didn't have dial-up, I would upload some picture to share with you the amazing place I am living in
-And of course, I have been doing everything Anne related that I can. Thus far, I have gone to Green Gables (what an amazing experience), visited Dalvay-by-the-Sea which was White Sands in the classic Anne of Green Gables movies, and most recently took in Anne of Green Gables the musical. Let me just tell you, I am in heaven!

Well I think those are the major things that have happened. I am pledging to be a better blogger now. I promise that I shall post as frequently as my Internet shall allow. This may mean that I will have to write my posts and put them up in groups as the Internet will allow. Well, I should be off. I need to head out to the hospital to see if anyone is in and would like a visit. Wish me luck.
