Oh goodness. It's been a while since I've said anything here, so I guess I might as well give you an update on things. Let's make a list!
1. Wedding plans.
Dress: check!! It's here and it fits me and I love it! And none of you can see it til after the wedding. :P
Engagement photos: check.
Invitations printed off: check.
Invitations delivered: mostly check. I've handed a lot out to people as I see them at church and whatnot, but there are still a bunch to go.
Decorations: to be checked. I can't make up my mind on what I want, argh!
Ring: uncheck :( We had to send it out to get the wedding band made for it and they said it would take 6-8 weeks! Are you kidding me??! It's been 4 weeks now so if I don't have it back by mid-July somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad!!
2. Summer school.
Yes, I am one of those nerds who does summer school. Technically it's just one class so you can hardly call it school. It's the Introduction to Early Childhood Development and I've found it quite interesting. Although when we were talking about the whole birthing process, it did not make me too eager to start having kids right away once Johnny and I are married :S. The course is pretty much done now. Our last class was on Wednesday and now all that's left is I have to write the test on Monday. Maybe I should start studying... hmm...
3. Rugby.
We were given a training schedule to follow for the summer with exercises and a nutrition guide and whatnot, but I've been a little slack on my workouts. I was doing pretty good in May, but then I injured my shoulder in rugby practice and I got sick right after that so that put me out of my routine, so now I'm trying to get myself back into it. I've got two more months til Pronghorns season starts and I've promised myself that I would not let myself get out of shape.
4. Honeymoon!
I guess this one can go under wedding plans, but the honeymoon is after the wedding and I'm really excited about this one so I wanted it to have it's own heading. I've found a place for us to go! It's out in BC right on the Kootenay Lake and near the camping spot my family uses when we go. I am so excited because as I said in a post last year, Kootenay Lake is one of my favourite places in the world. Basically, if you love the earth and care about clean air and water and trees, you will love Kootenay. I sound like a total hippie, but that's how everyone is around there and I love it.

A Break From Rugby
You guys must be getting sick of only hearing me blab about my rugby business. Sorry, it's kind of taken over my life.
But good news! I have some non-rugby related things to talk about today.
As some of you may or may not know, one of your favourite tongans has had a birfday (Pfft, yeah cause you have more than one). Yes! Me! I've had a birfday! I have left the familiar groove of teenage-hood and have entered the twenties.
You are now reading the blog of a twenty year old. Oh barf, that sounds so boring. Maybe I'll look into getting a snazzy new design as a present to you.
But anyway! You must hear about what I did for my birfday. I mean, I've only been talking about it since Johnny and I became an item.
We went down to Vancouver for the weekend and saw Jack Johnson in concert. It was so awesome! We arrived in the coastal city on Friday morning and spent most of the day in Chinatown and exploring other parts of the city. We grabbed a bite to eat at this little Indian restaurant called Sitar (which counts as #66 on my 101). Then we went back to the hotel, grabbed our things and went off to the show.
If any of you have heard of Jack Johnson before, you'd know his music is pretty chill. So naturally, his concert was pretty chill too (and the fact that pot was being smoked everywhere probably added to the chillness of it all). But he put on a great show. He played a good mix of the favourites as well as some new ones from his latest cd which I love anyway. My favourite part was when he encored with a group of songs he wrote about/for his wife. He's so awesome! I'm just sad that I didn't end up marrying him after the concert. Maybe next time...
Technically the the concert wasn't the end of our adventure in the latest Olympic City, but really, it was. We were staying with a friend of Johnny's who lives in Surrey, an hour outside of Vancouver, so we didn't end up getting to her place until late, late, late Friday night. We slept in the next morning until 11 and chilled around the house for most of the day. We went out for sushi that night, but that was all the excitement we had on Saturday. And Sunday just consisted of us taking a plane home and arriving in L-town just in time for Thanksgiving dinner with my family.
I'll probably upoad some photos. But later. Cause I'm lazy and it seems to take forever. Maybe one of these days I'll take my laptop to school with me and upload photos while I study. Look at me being all smart!
Anyway, til next time,
Peace.

Photos! At Last! Love Me!
And just pretend that it didn't take me almost two weeks to upload them... heh heh, where was I? Oh yes.
And heeeerreee they are!
Our game against the UofC Dinos
Against the UVic Vikes
On the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver. We just won a million dollars.
Another ferry shot. Hands up!
What's a trip to Vancouver without the Olympic torch??
Sadly, I didn't get any shots of our game against UBC. But just know that we won :) and it was awesome.

Falling Behind
Oh my word. Three of my games have gone by and I haven't told you about any of them.
We've won all of them so far! Woot!
Our first game was in Calgary on Sunday the 19th against U of C. It was an exhibition game so coach told us to just go out there and have fun. No pressure. Except I was scared out of my mind! This was going to be my very first game in the two years since I tore my ACL and I was understandably nervous. But you know, it turned out okay. In fact, I feel like it was one of the best first games of the season that I've ever played. We won 38 - 0. Did I mention that the Pronghorns rock?
Our second and third games took place just this past weekend in beautiful British Columbia. on Friday we took a morning flight out to Victoria to play against UVic. We stomped them 64 - 0. I loved Victoria, it's so pretty out there and it also reminded me of New Zealand. On Saturday we took the ferry to Vancouver and did some sightseeing. I met up with a couple friends from high school and they took me around to see a bit of the city. It was pretty fun. Sunday was the big game day against UBC. This was the one that the whole team was anticipating. And it turned out to be a good one. It was a pretty physical game, but we came out on top with a 36 - 7 win. We got home around midnight last night. I took some pretty sweet photos, but I'll have to upload them later.
That's all I have time for right now, but I hope to get those photos up soon. Bye for now!
