Things That Make Me Say, "Wow!"

Here are some interesting things that Ian and I witnessed on our trip up north. Not that they are completely unusual things. Other people get to see things like this often, but they were things that made us say, "wow!"

1) A bear popped up on the side of the road. He was just a small one. Ian saw him and honked the horn and the bear was startled and jumped, then he ran. It was just funny to see a bear get scared like that, just as though you sneaked up on a person. I liked it.

2) A very large, dark, and amazing lightning storm. It lasted from Quesnel to Prince George. It completely surrounded us from all sides and we saw lightning from all directions, including right above us. We enjoyed it.

3) As we were driving along the road to Prince George, we saw a fire. At first, we thought that it must have been caused by lightning, then we realized that it was a van. A van had crashed in the ditch and was on fire. We saw the people just as they had scrambled out. As we drove past the flames got bigger and bigger. I wanted Ian to stop so that we could watch but he didn't. We didn't stop to help because there were already 5-6 vehicles stopped to help.

4) We watched little Zach-i-poo graduate.

5) We went for hike to some falls around Tumbler Ridge, it is just a small drive outside of the town. While we were driving they were the coolest shadows being casted on the road. They were changing so quickly. We realized that it was really windy and the clouds were moving at an incredible rate. It made the shadows look as though they were dancing on the pavement.

I think that was everything. If I think of anymore than I will update!

I just want to end by saying this: it's a very interesting world that God has given us. I am very thankful for the new things that he gives us that makes us say, "Wow!"

Don't Even Know If Anyone Reads This.

But I am going to write anyways.

So, it's father's day. It's a good day. I like thinking of my daddy and doing stuff for them. I enjoy reflecting on everything that he has done for me. I love that I have a father-in-law that I now also get to celebrate. I also enjoy taking the day to think of God, our father. These are the good things of the day.

Sometimes the day is hard though. This is Ian and my third father's day that we've been through hoping that Ian would be able to celebrate as being a father himself, but that is not the case again this year. We both know that it is all in God's timing as to when we will finally have a baby, but that doesn't always make it easy to wait for it.

We just keep praying. Praying that God will bless us with a baby and praying that in the meantime, while we wait for, that he gives us strength!
