You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to
depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people
feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you
realize.

Your Power Bird is a Cardinal

You believe that each day is precious, and you
spend your times as best as you can.
You see the wonder in small things, and you are
often content with what you have.
You life an interesting, colorful life - and you bring
color to those around you.
Confident and expressive, you believe you know
how to live a good life. You're living it!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Dad. Hope it's a great one.

Ok, ignore the second Valemount/Sun Peaks one because it's the same as the first one.

Valemount/Sun Peaks

Thurs.- Ok, so we left at 3:45 pm and at 6:30, we stopped in Hinton for dinner. I went to Tim Horton's. Then we drove some more to the Valemount Cranberry Lodge Hotel. Who names a Hotel after a cranberry? Fri.- Breakfast at 7:30 am. Then for a change of a pace, we drove some more to Sun Peaks, we arrived at 1:30 pm. We all had to watch each other's performances. So at 3:20 we went to watch the mixed ensemble( male and female choir-auditioned), then pasta dinner at the Mantles restaurant. Then we went to the concert choirs performance at 5:50. Then there was a student social/dance at 9:10. Then we hung out in the boy's room until the room checkers came at around 11, girls totally outnumbered the boys, 6 to 4. Me, Lindsay, and Patrice were on the bed, Matt was lying at our feet, Trent was on the bed with us all too and on the other bed was Kayla, James, Julie and Nick and I think Shay was on the chair or on the other bed. Sat.- We didn't set our alarm 'cuz we thought we would get a wake up call- I ended up waking up at around 6:30. Breakfast was at 8:15. 9:00- vocal workshop. 10:30-12:30-concert bands performance and workshop. We played Simple Gifts, Donkey Riding, Radetzky March and Rolling Stones. Then burger buffet at 1:00 Then the band went to watch Roland Michener High School band at 1:30. I hated the elevators, we left in plenty enough time but the elevator was going so slow we were 3 minutes lats and the doors were already closed so we waited until the 12 minute song was over then we went in. Then at 3:00 Stage band performed at the Bentos Day Lodge.Then at 4:00 me, Matt, Julie, Nick, and Shay did the Amazing race, we had to answer a bunch of questions. One of them asked what the time was under the clock tower, we put the day it opened. The answer was A Time To Ride because there were seats under it. Then we had a chicken dinner, then some of us went swimming. Then there was a festival showcase at 9:00. Same thing with the elevators, we were 2 minutes late, the doors were still open. Our choir was the only one asked to perform at it. Sun.- Lindsay set her alarm for 6:30 but all 4 of us slept through it, she woke up at 7:20 or 7:40 and figured something was wrong because it was too bright for 6:00. None of us got breakfast. Then there was a massed choir performance at 8:30. Then a massed band performance at 9:30. There were 47 flutes, 50 clarinets, etc... Then at 11:00 we left Sun Peaks, stopped in Hinton for supper, then got back at 9:20. In all, I took 76 pictures over the weekend. The shops were horrible, they were little and expensive and had nothing good so the only thing I bought was food and water. So, that was my fun weekend. I recorded the massed performace but it can't show the image but I'm not deleting it because I still want it and to make sure it doesn't work.

Kamloops Here I Come

I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Well' I'm not leaving on a jet plane and I do know when I'll be back but, hey, it fit. I am soo excited. After Seminary, I was in the best mood, even now I'm in the best mood. It looked like I was running away.I'll take lots of pictures and I'll put some on when I can get Kari-Lynn's help with it.

Tomorrow's the big day.

Kiwanis Festival

We did pretty good. We got a distinction for both classes, distinction is equal to a silver. Our adjudicator was so funny, I swear he's a Symphony Orchestra Director, he was doing the whole arm all over the place thing and his laugh was hilarious. It was literally "Hee Hee" and that's what it sounded like. 3 more days to Kamloops.

Kiwanis

So, everybody wish me luck. We have a festival today and I have a solo. I am kind of excited and nervous at the same time. We leave at 2:45 pm so I get to leave Social early. We get back to the school at 5:45 pm. We're playing "Simple Gifts, Donkey riding, Radetztky March, and I can't remember the last one." I leave for Kamloops in 4 days.

Quote by President Hinckley

So, I was looking on the net and I found this really nice quote. " Things will work out. Keep trying. Be believing. Be happy. Don't get discouraged. Things will work out."

Sun Peaks/Grad

So, I leave on my band trip in a week and a day, we leave next Thursday. I am so excited. We leave at 3:45 pm. on Thurs. and get back at 10:00 pm Sun., yes I know, that's Mother's Day. I'm going to get Mum something really nice in Kamloops and something here so she doesn't miss out completely
We got our grad ticket order forms yesterday. I can't wait till I graduate. I definately will not miss the crowded hallways, you can't go anywhere without bumping into someone. The only things I will miss is band and friends.
