Wren's life

2010-02-02T17:19:00.001-08:00

So, I haven't updated in a while.
We'll start with New York. In a word, it was awesome. We went to Upper Canada Village and the way they had decorated it was beautiful. The had some candles that when you burn them, the drips are multi-coloured, they're so cool. Michelle and I went to see New Moon, that was fun. It was great seeing them all again and having Christmas there. I got a beautiful crystal angel that I absolutely love. I'll put the pics. on facebook.
Celtic Thunder-It's Entertainment is coming out in 6 days, I am so excited for that. I can't wait, literally.
My shift at work has been changed to 8-5, I love the sleeping in part.

I'll update some more soon.

2009-12-13T19:27:00.000-08:00

3 more days and I'll be in New York. I is so excited to see everybody again. Can't wait. That's about all for now.

2009-12-09T18:58:00.000-08:00

Ok, new stuff.
I'm going to Michelle's next week for Christmas. We're opening presents on the 18th, so christmas is coming early this year. So excited for that. So, it is officially 7 more days.
Celtic Thunder-It's Entertainment went on pre-order yesterday or today and I looked at the cover, it's amazing. I can't wait for the DVD and the CD to come out on Feb.9th. The DVD has the songs "Take Me Home (Ensemble), Ev'ry Breath You Take (Ryan), Just Like Jessie James (Caroline), Hard to Say I'm Sorry (Keith), Home (Damian), My Life With You (George), You Raise Me Up (Paul), Hallelujah (Neil, Ryan, Keith), Standing on the Corner (Damian), Bad Bad Leroy Brown (Ryan), Surfer Medley (Keith), Doo Wacka Doo (Paul), 500 Miles (George),Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (Ensemble), Lough Swilly Railway (Celtic Thunder Band), Ireland's Call (Ensemble)," same as the concert and the CD has "My Life With You (George), Home (Damian), Sway (Paul), Hallelujah (Neil, Ryan, Keith), Lough Swilly Railroad (Celtic Thunder Band), Everything I do (I do it for you) (Ryan), Just Like Jessie James (Caroline Torti), Surfer Medley (Keith), Amazing Grace (Ensemble), Standing on the Corner (Damian), Hello Again (George), Doo Whacka Do (Paul), Hard To Say I'm Sorry (Keith), When you wish upon a Star (Neil), Bad Bad Leroy Brown (Ryan), I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (Ensemble) on it. I can't wait to hear all the songs again and hear the new songs. I's shaking with excitement. I'm not pre-ordering it, though because it won't get shipped until the 9th and I don't want to have to wait another week to get it so I'll buy it at the store on the 9th and then watch it and listen to it the same day.

Toronto

2009-11-14T09:46:00.000-08:00

So, I should probably tell you about my Toronto trip. I'm sorry guys, I'm awful at journaling and this is pretty much like a journal. I'll try to do better.
When I first got to the International Centre and got inside, the first place I went was the merchandise table and spent a small fortune there. I bought a "Celtic Thunder Sorm" sweater, a t-shirt made specifically (say that Mish. lol.) for the Toronto filming, a photo pack, a keychain and a program. I felt bad for Alex, Sharon's son, he was helping me and I had been given a medium t-shirt so I asked him if I could get a small one and I guess they didn't have any left at our table and so he went to the other table and brought back a huge pile. There was also a CD for a girl named Deirdre Shannon and I asked someone who that was and she told me I would find out. Then I found my seat, it was in Section B row J seat 4 but I was able to move up to row H seat 2. So, the concert starts. I was on the edge of my seat with excitement. A bit of an aside- George, Paul, Keith, Damian and a few others are farmers and Ryan and a few others are gypsies. All of these songs are originals except Mo Ghile Mear, Phil Coulter wrote them all, so they're unfortunately not on the internet.
The first song was "Storm overture," it was instrumental except for all the guys, including the band, vocalizing.
Then it was all the guys singing "New Day Dawning," here's some of the words. "Thank you Lord for a new day dawnin, all over our mountains and valleys below" "Thank you Lord for a new day dawning...all over the land that we love." "This is our land, this is where we belong." "We'll drive the invader back to the sea."
Then Ryan sang "Outside looking in," here's some of the words "I'm on the outside lookin' in but I like it that way" "Here on the outside lookin' in, I see the games that they play" "Be sure to lock up your daughters" "...I don't care... So long as I get my share..." "...When it's late at night and you blow out the lights, If you hear a sound, I might be around..." "...I'm a dark and deadly stranger..." Ryan stood in the trees and jumped down, it was awesome.
Then Damian sang "When you are 18" "I've got more of the answers And I'm only 18" "...I don't need protecting, just need respecting..." "I'm a man who's ready I'm strong and I'm steady..." "...Love's complicated and overrated..."
George sand "Life in the old dog yet." I loved this song, it was hilarious. "...You can't put an old head on young shoulders" "My advice is the best I can give..." "...I'm still the top banana, they still answer when I call..." "...I only have one daughter..." "People need reminding I'm the boss around here..." "...I'm not ready to roll over, there's life in the old dog yet" "... I'm the daddy of them all..."
Paul sang "Not the One." " She's not the one for me Not the one that heaven sent for me And though I haven't found her yet She's not the one, she's not the one..." "She's young and oh so pretty with a twinkle in her eye..." "To make a young man sigh..." "She's sweet and sunny like a morning maid Just the kind of creature who could steal your heart away..."
Keith sang "Stand and Deliver." I love this song too. When Keith first started singing, I was like "Keith, a bad guy?" It cracked me up. " Look out! The highwayman's about..." "Stand and Deliver, I'll take your money or your life. Stand and deliver And tonight, I just might, take your wife" In the background, there was a screen and as Keith was singing it showed a highwayman stopping a carriage and stealing their money and jewelery and after the highwayman leaves, the man goes to talk to the driver and the wife gets out of the carriage, puts on her cloak and runs after the highwayman.
Then Deirdre, the new female singer, sang "The Highwayman." " Who is the highwayman?" "...As he takes your diamonds he'll flash you a smile..." "...easy to remember and hard to forget..."
"...He's dashing and daring and devil may care..." "...He'll take all your jewels, but do it with style
As he pockets your diamonds he'll flash you a smile..." "...He's stolen from princes and stolen from earls, but his greatest pleasure is stealing from girls..."
The next song was "Lagan Love" Paul sang it. " ...Now, My Lagan Love..." "...the twilight gleam is in her eye, night is on her hair, the song of heart's desire..."
Then Ryan sang "Midnight Well." Love that song. "In the town, the people stay away From the midnight well For it's dark and evil, so they say The midnight well
-They'll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid The fairest that they'd ever known What a beauty, they say But she went her own way On that night, she set out on her own
-For they say, she had a rendezvous At the midnight well With a gypsy man she barely knew At the midnight well
-Nobody knew where he came from But they remember the fire in his eyes His earring of gold And his hair black as coal And a look that could just hypnotize
-When he said Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night
-Never more, they never saw her face At the midnight well She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well
-They say when the summer nights come to an end The harvest moon glows in the sky A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear As the ghost of a gypsy flies by
-And he says Come away, come away with me Come here and lay with me Come away out of the light Come away, come away Come and ride with me into the night."
I think Caroline Torti sang "Shadows Dancing." I didn't really like this song, it was kind of eerie.
" Shadows, Shadows dancing Shadows dancing in the moonlight shadows dancing in the dark..."
I think all of them sang "Harry's game," I don't remember. It's all in Gaelic so I don't know the words either.
Paul sang "Tender is the night. "...I'm yearning for your touch Yearning for your tenderness..." "...You've made me whole Touched my very soul..." "...The future is so bright Tender is the night..." "...I believe in love, just as I believe in you..."
I think George sang "This was my life. "...I've known contentment in a woman's arms and felt the warmth of her devotion" "...I've known ? and dark despair as deep as any ocean..." "...I'm so glad that this is my life..."
Keith and Damian sang "Look at me." I loved this song, it was hilarious. "Look at me..." "I'm cool and I'm charming...I'm debonair and daring" "I don't need no fandangos I've got all of the angles..." "I ain't no beginner A natural winner That's me to a T... I can sing a cappella I'm a hell of a fella"
Take a good look at yourself What do you see?...For goodness sake..." "A natural loser Take it from me "...All the ladies are laughin'..." "...You're headin' for trouble..." "...Be patient with ladies..." "...They'll eat you for supper and spit you out in the street..." "...It's a bad time to be cocky..." Damian thinks he's ready for love and Keith is saying you're a loser, the ladies are laughing ask yourself why.
They all sang "Mo Ghile Mear." It's mainly in Gaelic, but you can find the words on the internet.
So that was the first half called "Storm." Then we had a 45 minute intermission because they needed to change the set. I bought Deirdre Shannon's CD at this time, she's very good. Then the second half started, it's called "That's Entertainment." You can find all these lyrics on the internet, a few of them are originals. The lads are all back in their suits now.
They all sang "Take Me Home." I absolutely love this song, it's one of my favourites. This is an original.
Ryan sang "Ev'ry breath you take." Yes, it the stalker song. I hated this song until Ryan sang it, now I love it.
Deirdre sang "Just like Jessie James." I loved this song. Deirdre is mad at Keith, he did something to hurt her. "it took a lot to get my heart and it'll take a lot to break it" "tonight you're going down in flames, just like jessie james."
Keith sang "Hard to say I'm sorry." He's apologizing to Deirdre for hurting her.
Damian sang "Home" by Michael Buble. I must say, Damian did a fine job. I loved it.
George sang "My life with you." It's a love song.
Paul sang "You raise me up." He does a fairly good job, but he sounds depressed the song even when he's supposed to be happy, so it's not my favourite version.
Neil, Ryan, Keith and Paul sang "Hallelujah" I think it was just them, I don't remember. It's the song from Shrek.
Damian sang the old, old song "Standing on the corner." I loved Damian's version.
Ryan, obviously, sang "Bad Bad Leroy Brown." I'm sure you've all heard this song before.
Keith, again obviously, sang "Surfer medley." It had surfing in the USA in it but I don't remember which other ones were in it. Sorry.
Paul sang "Doo wacka doo." This song cracked me up, it was hilarious watching Paul tap dance. This one is an original.
George sang "500 miles." Absolutely love this song.
They all sang "Still haven't found what I'm looking for." I really liked this song, too.
"Lough swilly railway" was an instrumental. I think Phil wrote this song, I wouldn't swear my life on it, though.
Then they all sang "Ireland's Call." Celtic Thunder wouldn't be Celtic Thunder without this song. Phil also wrote this song. There's another version of it and Phil wrote that one too. The first one talks about the war and how when Ireland called the people listened and fought for their country. Phil wrote the second version for Celtic Thunder. They were wearing kilts for this one. Absolutely loved the kilts.
If I remember correctly, they came out again to sing "Caledonia." I could be wrong, though.
So, that was my amazing time at the concert. I had help with the lyrics via their forum. As the Irish say, the craic was mighty, and it indeed was. I can't wait 'til next year when these songs begin touring.

2009-09-11T10:35:00.000-07:00

So, Krystin tells me that I should update. She's right, I should.
We'll start with the fact that I'm going to Toronto in October for a Celtic Thunder concert, it's the taping of the new show "STORM" next year, so I'm gonna be on the DVD, won't that be cool. It'll be great craic. Michelle and Tony and the kids will be coming up too, and it'll be great to see them again.
I had hurt my knee on Wednesday, so I walked in to a clinic on Thursday after work, got in to see Dr.Rai and he didn't like the way I was walking so he gave me a WCB for a week off. But by last night, the pain was all gone so I booked an appointment with him today so I could get cleared to go back to work. As soon as I said that the pain was gone, he got suspicious and wanted to look at my knee and he began pressing it so get a flinch or any reaction of pain but he didn't get anything because it didn't hurt. At one point, he's like "You flinched" and I'm like, "no, I didn't." Finally, he cleared me to go back on Monday and he's like "I'll clear you for MONDAY, if you admit you're faking it." And I say "I'm not faking it." But I did get the clearance for Monday with the promise that if it gets worse again, I'll go straight in and hey, I'll take what I can get, right? The funniest thing, though, was that he thought I was lying the whole time, but I wasn't. Anybody who knows me, knows that I can't lie, I'm awful at it which he said. He's said "You're such a bad liar," and I am. There's that news.
Anything else to post about. I did go to Utah and Vegas in the Summer. The pictures are all on facebook. I should actually post the pics. from Head-Smashed in Buffalo Jump. I'll do that today.
I'm planning a trip to Scotland and Ireland next year with mum and since we're already gonna be across the pond, we'r planning on going to Spain and Italy, too. I'm trying to convince mum to go to Denmark because I want to see the 2 oceans colliding in Skaagen. I think that would be so cool. I'll have to save Germany for a different trip because I want to spend more time there, go to Auschwitz and some castles. There are so many places I want to go. I'll just list them all, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, India, Australia(apparently there's a beach in Australia that you can actually use the sand to polish your jewelry. Isn't that cool?), Nauvoo, I think I'd also like to go to each of the provinces, so that I can say that I've been from one end of the country to the other, I might not go to the Northwest Territories, not sure if I feel like freezing my butt off. I also want to ride a train. That would be fun.
Sorry, I can't think of much else. If I think of something else, I'll post it. Laters skaters.

2009-05-04T22:21:00.000-07:00

If you make it bigger you can see their autographs.
Their buses, obviously. They had 4 of them.
And can't forget the stage. It looks like a ship. I think that's cool.

2009-05-04T22:11:00.000-07:00

Ok, here's the long awaited Celtic Thunder pictures. The first is Paul, then George, then Ryan, then Damian. I guess I didn't get one of Keith, my bad.

2009-05-03T09:02:00.000-07:00

READ THE BOTTOM ONE FIRST. I ACCIDENTALLY PUBLISHED IT B4 I WAS DONE. I also got a good picture of Paul. I'll post the pictures when I get home from church. It was so much fun. It was great craic.

2009-05-03T08:37:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since I updated. Well, last night was the Celtic Thunder concert. It was absolutely amazing. They did a wonderful job.

They had several new songs which were amazing. The first new song was by the band, Belfast Polka/Pennsylvania Railroad. One of the violinists played the whistle and was running across the stage and jumping. I'm impressed with anyone that can do that and not be breathless. George sang a song called Working Man with the guys in the background. They all sang take Me Home, I love that song. Damian did one called Happy Birthday Sweet 16, that was a really good song. Ryan did Every Breath You Take aka Stalker song. His version is very good, much better than the original. George did 500 Miles, which was amazing. He had us sing with him with part of it. Damian did Breaking up is hard to do. Paul did You raise me up. I much prefer Josh Groban's version, but Paul's was very good too. The band also did Apalachian Round Up. You should have seen Zara slap Ryan during Heartbreaker. You could hear the crack, of course they did have microphones right by their ears. I feel bad for Ryan, getting slapped on the face almost every night but it was hilarious. In Caledonia, when Paul sang his solo he slowly pulled his kilt up on his left leg, it was so funny. He does it every show so you knew he was gonna do it, you just didn't know when. The other songs were great too, but I won't talk about those ones as well otherwise this would be really long. It was the best concert I've ever been to. Beat the Celine Dion and the Josh Groban concerts hands down.

We weren't allowed to take pictures at all, so I only have pictures of before and after the concert. We waited by the buses for the boys to come out after the concert and I got pictures of each of the guys. When Paul came out we weren't sure if it was him because he had a hat on and he kept his head down but we asked him and he told us "You'll just have to find out" and then we knew it was him, it was his voice and then he kinda looked up. The one I got of Keith makes him look like a girl and his head was down. George talked to us a little bit. Ryan actually did talk to us, so I'd say that I met him and George because they actually talked to us. Damian just walked by but I got good good pictures of him, George, Ryan

2009-02-25T20:27:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I am so excited. Celtic Thunder is coming to Edmonton on May 2. I'm buying my tickets tomorrow. Just so you all know, I can't wait. I'll get lots of pics. and put them on here. And yes Krystin, that is partly why I am so excited for St. Patty's day, but i have always loved St. Patty's day, even before Aerin was born.

Update

2009-02-13T17:41:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been so long. Let's see, what's new in my life. Not much, just the ordinary. We had a Valentine's Day party today at work. One of the little girls mum wasn't working today, but she brought her in today for the party. She was gonna come by at 3 to pick her up, and then at 2, she was beginning to get grumpy, and she felt a little warm as if she had a low fever, so I took her temperature and oh my gosh, no jokes, she had a fever of 39.4 or 103, which is very high. The poor kid, I felt so bad for her. And I also got to work an extra 2 hours today, so instead of working 8 hours, I worked for 10 hours. So, I worked from 6:30-5:50, with an hour for lunch. I was covering for another girl. I don't know what else to tell ya. Oh, I am so excited for St. Patrick's Day. I can't wait. Happy Valentine's Day. Have fun. Remember who you are.

2008-12-16T18:54:00.000-08:00

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KRYSTIN. She is now officially 30 and getting old. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO AUNTIE, SCOTT AND OF COURSE, ME. And I am now 20, scary, isn't it?

Preference

2008-11-27T18:44:00.000-08:00

So, here's how I asked Tye Barrett to Preference. Just change the Kevin Daniels to Tye Barrett and it'll make more sense.

2008-11-16T18:46:00.000-08:00

Here you go, Krystin.

Preference

2008-11-08T01:13:00.000-08:00

So, what do you guys think of this idea for asking a guy to Preference? On the back of one of those 24 piece puzzles, write "Will you go to Preference with me on the eve of the 28th?" And then in the puzzle box, have the letters in my name and then have him unscramble it. You can give suggestions for the wording because I don't think it's very good. So, let me know. Thanks. Love you all.

Celine Dion concert

2008-10-26T20:27:00.001-07:00

This is when she was singing the Titanic song.
She was singing The Prayer with a recording of Andrea Bocceli? because he couldn't come.

Me and Kari-Lynn obviously
I really like this picture. I love the flowing cloak.

2008-09-27T23:45:00.000-07:00

Ok, so not much new is going on in my life right now. But let's see if I can find something worth writing about. Ok, the ward campout on Aug. 22-23 was amazing. It's a month late, but better late than never, right? We went to Cadomin Caves. Here are a few pics.

The entrance to the cave. Dadada.

That was a really steep part. You had to climb up on your hands and knees it was so steep.

We named this Golom's Cave.

Group photo of the girls.

Group photo of the boys.

I really liked this mountain, it made a very pretty picture.

Ok, a little more recent. Let's see. Work is good. The Relief Society broadcast was really good. I really Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk, it was a gooder. I think that's all, for now. I'll update more frequently from now on. It's good to set goals, even if you may not accomplish the goal. TTFN.

YSA Beach Party

2008-08-12T19:47:00.000-07:00

So, on Saturday we had a YSA beach party at the Stringham's cabin. They had boats and wakeboards, tubes. It was soo much fun. I tried wakeboarding, but I didn't manage to get up, I tried several times and I drank quite a bit of the water but it was a lot of fun. Next time I try it though, I am gonna succeed. Then I went tubing and that was a lot of fun. The tube completely flipped when three kids were on it and Bro. Burnham was scared that they were hurt but they thought that it was a lot of fun, I guess that they hit the wave just right, so the tube flipped and I guess one of the kids flew like 10 feet in the air before he hit the water. Then I just went swimming and talked and made new friends. I had a lot of fun at it. I love wakeboarding now. Sorry if this sounds like I'm rambling, but it was a lot of fun and I know that you're all jealous of me.

Highland Games

2008-07-22T15:58:00.000-07:00

So, this guy's name is Matt Doherty and that rock is apparently 98 lbs. which is, admittedly, unbelievable but I believe him because I wasn't about to pick up that rock and see. I had told him I wanted a picture of him holding the rock and he picks up this itty bitty little thing that might have weighed 2 lbs. and I was like "not that little thing, the big one."He managed to throw that thing 14.1 ft, which is amazing.
This is only some of the pictures, I'll have more on Facebook.

Just for you Krystin

2008-07-08T16:25:00.000-07:00

I hope you'll forgive me Krystin, I completely forgot to put the flower pictures up.

Just for you Mish

2008-07-07T19:50:00.001-07:00

2008-07-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

I know it's a day late but I wanted to say HAPPY CANADA DAY. And I wanted to wish my mum a happy birthday, it's a day early but that's alright.

2008-05-31T09:09:00.000-07:00

A new post just for you Mish. Ok, so I didn't mention that I'm super excited for you to come up and get a week off of work but it was getting late and I was trying to get off the internet quickly. But please accept my humblest and sincerest apologies. I hope you'll forgive me. I am really excited for you all to come and I can't wait to see Aerin and Kian for the first time and Mady and Scott again and of course my sisters.

The long awaited update

2008-05-30T16:56:00.000-07:00

So, I'm going to California in a week. Man, I am sooo excited. We're going to Disneyland. I want to go on the Peter Pan, Pirates of the Carribbean and the log ride, my friend recommended the first two. Other than that, there's not much else that's new in my life. I'll think overly hard tonight and I'll post again soon. If not, I will either post on Tues. b4 we leave or as soon as we get back.

Elder Nelson's fireside

2008-04-24T16:09:00.000-07:00

So, on Sunday the 20th an apostle, Russell M. Nelson, spoke to the Young Single adults, so the 18 - 30 year olds. It was soo good. His wife, Wendy, spoke about changes and how we either change or we decide to change and then we make a U-turn or we're just not willing to change. Then Elder Nelson spoke about the Savior and the Atonement. I loved that is was him that came because he has been my favorite apostle for the longest time. I even got to meet him and shake his hand after it was over. I haven't washed my right hand yet. Now that I've gotten a reaction, I'm kidding. I've washed my hands several times since Sunday. So, I really loved the talks. Sheri L. Dew was suppossed to come too, but she couldn't and Sis. Nelson told us how upset Sheri was that she couldn't come and how she had texted Sheri telling her how cold and blizzardly it was and that Sheri's disappointment soon faded. But, I am happy to announce that it has stopped blizzardind but it is still snowing and it's no longer -15, it's warming up a bit.

Carseat cover

2008-03-15T22:32:00.000-07:00

These are for you Michelle. Before and after pictures of the carseat cover. And Mish, never let it be said that I don't update my blog.

2008-03-13T18:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some California pictures. We were cruel to their dog (I have no idea how to spell the dog's name). The last pic. is of funny looking trees and I don't remember what they're called, sorry.

Pink hair

2008-02-13T16:17:00.000-08:00

One of the kids at work was diagnosed with Leukemia in Jan., so the downstairs kids and staff dyed their hair pink with washable dye. It's not all dyed, just the top and some down the sides.

2008-02-12T17:05:00.000-08:00

So, I am on Kirby Heyborne's website which I think is so cool. You just go to www.kirbyheyborne.com, then click on "news" and scroll down and you'll see me.

2008-02-10T18:06:00.000-08:00

This is Maren Ord and Kirby Heyborne after they she sang one of her songs and he played the guitar. So, the Kirby Heyborne concert was at 2:30 pm at the Myer Horowitz Theatre. We had a 11 minute and 30 second intermission. He wrote a song about Canada that was really funny. It started something like this "I stepped off of the airplane and froze. All my thoughts froze." I really liked how in the song he said "My home and native land" instead of "Your home and native land." I would have put the song on but the computer wouldn't transfer any of the videos from the concert. Sorry. He made a lot of jokes that were so funny. My seat was CTR F 22, so it was fairly good seats. After the concert I went to a friends house and then we went to the dinner at Cindy's house and I got his autograph and a picture with him. It was really fun and definately worthy of a journal entry.

Kirby Heyborne concert and dinner

2008-02-10T17:46:00.000-08:00

This is Kirby and I at the dinner.

This is Kirby Heyborne at the dinner wearing a thick warm winter parka. He seemed very cozy.

2008-02-08T16:10:00.000-08:00

So, I'm going to the Kirby Heyborne concert tomorrow. I am so excited, I can't wait. Then I get to meet him personally at a dinner. I'll let y'all know later.

Frostweek

2008-01-13T20:01:00.000-08:00

So, on Friday I went to a dinner and dance at the Bonnie Doon Stake Center for Single Adults. Then on Saturday I went to Galaxyland for $5 and it was so much fun. They have a new roller-coaster, I don't remember what it's called, but it has steep hills and the car you're in spins around. I loved that ride. I also really liked Solar Flare, I think it's newer, but you sit in a seat or you can stand in a standing one and you go in circles vertically and your chair spins and turns you upside down, it was a lot of fun. I'm not really good at describing rides, sorry. I still refuse to go on the drop of doom, now called the space shot. Then there was a CES broadcast tonight and Earl C. Tingey, he's in one of the quorum of the seventies, spoke on marriage. So, I had a ton of fun this weekend. On Saturday morning mum and I were baby-sitting Israel and Maigan and that was fun too.

2008-01-04T16:00:00.000-08:00

2007-12-29T22:44:00.000-08:00

We went shopping. That was about it. But I bought some pretty nice stuff. It didn't feel like Christmas though, no decorations, no Christmas music, and definately no snow. For Christmas down there I got an angel figurine playing the flute and an "L" necklace from Mum, a Sari and 3 Audrey Hepburn movies( Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, and Sabrina) from Will, Krystin, Camile, Solomon, and Scott and a lot of stocking stuffers like JELLY BELLIES.

2007-12-20T01:40:00.000-08:00

Our internet is hooked up now, so I'll be able to blog more often. CALIFORNIA HERE I COME. I want to go to Disney land a lot. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge Krystin.

2007-12-03T15:24:00.000-08:00

I have been switched to the pre-school room at work. I now work from 7:oo am - 4:00 pm, so I get off earlier. Not much else is new. I like the pre-school room so far.

Daycare

2007-11-10T20:07:00.000-08:00

I am absolutely loving the new job. I work with the 2 year olds. They get nap time so that's good. It is so much fun though. There are 12 twelve kids but there are usually only 9 of them there on one day and there's 3 adults in my group so that's fantastic.

2007-10-22T14:29:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody. Good news. I GOT THE JOB. I am so excited. I start on Nov.1, I get to have the police check me out to make sure I don't have any bad things said about me.

2007-10-17T19:17:00.000-07:00

I have a job interview at a daycare on Friday so wish me luck. Not much else is going on. I'm in the midst of making Christmas presents

2007-09-30T19:43:00.000-07:00

You guys have to watch the 2 videos at the bottom. This kid is an absolute genius, she knows geography, counts forwards and backwards, and knows the alphabet; the real kicker is that she's only 2 years old. It is really good, we were all amazed that this kid knows where Ghana, Australia, Greece, India, China, the Phillipines, etc.. are and that she can pronounce them.

2007-09-27T10:56:00.000-07:00

Not much is going in my life. I'm going to go to Europe next year so I'm excited for that. Mum, Kari-Lynn, Aubryn, Israel, Maigan and I are going to Cardston tomorrow for the weekend so that will be fun. I can't wait for that, I'll be buying some Christmas presents there. Other than that, my life is pretty boring, sorry.

2007-08-16T14:28:00.000-07:00

More EFY

2007-08-15T14:43:00.000-07:00

So, on Monday we played some FHE games and it was a lot of fun. We played Animal sounds, Little Lucy, Do you love your neighbor, and the Human knot. The second round of human knot was a race between our two groups and we both literally finished at exactly the same time, which was pretty good because I had been holding both hands of the same person so that slowed us up a bit. It's really weird, I knew several of the counselors this year before I even went, there was Kristi, Brittany, Cortney(partially), Darin, and Ashley. Our banner looked so cool. Our group name was Great and Dreadful so down the middle we had a lightening bolt and at the top of the bolt was a black cloud, on the left side we wrote Great down the side and had yellow hand prints with halos and on the right side we wrote Dreadful down the side and had black handprints with red horns. The word great was blue and looked bright and the word dreadful was red and looked like there was blood dripping down. It looked so cool before we got downpoured on by the rain. There's this game called "Tree, log, bridge" and it is a lot of fun. It's a race and we lost because we had 21 girls and 7 guys so we had more people than everyone else. They take that into consideration but still. For the service activity we colored games and activities for the hospital in Calgary. At the end of the second dance the girls got an extra song, "Girls just wanna have fun". I got set up twice during the dance. The first time was by Kristi. Then my counselor, Natalie, tried to set me up 2 times but it didn't work, which was fine by me but she succeeded the third time, I think she was rather pleased with herself. It was so much fun. I'm having a hard time deciding whether this year was my second favorite or third favorite. I think they should go in this order: 1st year, 3rd year, 5th year, 4th year and 2nd year, I think that'll be the order.

Alright alright alright alright alright hey

2007-08-11T23:58:00.000-07:00

So, I got back from EFY yesterday. I had soo much fun. My counselor's name is Natalie, I love her. You know, this world really is small, one of the counselors I met it Kirby Dietze's niece. I met so many new people there, it was amazing. The spirit was so strong all week, especially Thurs.(spiritual day, Sunday dress). My group, Great and Dreadful(Malachi 4:5), won the Spunity award(Spirit and Unity). The counselor hadn't even got out the word "great" before we were cheering like mad. I'll update some more later, I'm getting pretty tired and I have church tomorrow, too. I totally want to be a counselor next year. I love you all.

To my cutest youngest niece in Canada

2007-07-27T12:06:00.000-07:00

Happy first birthday maigan. I love you tons. I hope you have a lot of fun stuffing your face with cupcakes and opening your presents.

More Utah

2007-07-24T08:07:00.000-07:00

So, after Israel's party on Friday we left for Utah, at 7:00 pm. We arrived in Utah at 11:30 am on Saturday. The trip down wasn't all that eventful, just watched movies and slept and drove. On Saturday we didn't really do much. Krystin decided to arrive at 2:00 in the morning, just to bug me I'm sure, it was all a scheme to wake me up.
We went to church on Sunday, Aunt Madeleine, mum, Aubryn, Scott, and I went home after Sacrament meeting, and Kari-Lynn, Krystin, Uncle Navere and Israel stayed for the 3 hours.
On Monday, the very first thing we did, after breakfast, was got to Ikea, then we went to American Fork so we could go to Shade which is a modest clothing store. Aubryn asked me why we were there and I told her it was because it was a modest clothes store. Her response was "not all the clothes are modest" so I told her what camis were for and she's like "why were you telling me about camis, I was talking about tank tops." So, that was fun. Then we went to Seagulls in South Jordan, then the distribution center in SLC, then the Seagulls right there. Man, I could spend hours and tons of money in that store, they should really think about building one in Edmonton, with cheap prices of course, otherwise I couldn't afford it. Then we went to the Jordan River Temple so that the kids cold see it.
Tuesday- we went swimming at the Jean something or other(he was a famous wrestler, I think).
Wednesday- we went back to American Fork to meet Rosanna at Target. While Kari-Lynn and all them were at Target, Aunt Madeleine, mum, and I went to Sarah Lees bakery, then scrapbooking co., they got really original with that name, then we went to Wal-Mart. You know, I really hate those contests that are only good if you're an American resident. Seagulls again so I could find a CD, but they were all out there too, so we went to Deseret book to get it. The CD that I bought was one of the ones where you got a free CD with it, so I got 2 CDs for $8.98. Then we went back to Target to meet the others, then we went to the dollar tree.
On Thursday we went to the Joseph Smith movie, it was really good, I really liked it, then we went to the Missionary Emporium and then DI (Deseret Industries), then we went to Smith's. It's a grocery store.
Friday- we went to Seagulls, a toy store, then a Wedding Dress store. While Aunt Madeleine was driving Krystin to the airport, the rest of us went to Target and then Wal-mart and then we drove home. We left at about 8:00 pm.That drive wasn't all that eventful either, again we just watched movies slept, and drove.
Saturday- When we got to the border the guard was asking Kari-Lynn all these questions about Israel and was surprised that the government allowed him out of the country. We stopped at a little park in Bowden so the kids could play a little bit. We arrived at about 12:30 pm.

Utah

2007-07-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

So, as you all know, I'm in Utah. A couple days ago Anthony had come over and the whole night he thought that I was Michelle, it was so funny 'cuz he had said "You're the same old Misha" and I was like "I'm not Michelle." We all found it pretty funny. I'll give a better update later.

So, I just wrote my social exam and I think I did fairly well. There were a couple of questions that I didn't know so I just picked one that I thought might work. So, there's not much going on in my life except GRAD IS IN TWO DAYS. Our school colors are green and gold. I am so excited. My dress is done, it is soo gorgeous, I love it. It's pale pink with white chiffon from the waist down and it has a couple of gemstone things on it, the sleeves go to just above my elbow, the chiffon ends around my knees but only in the front. It is a little tight around my huge thighs but It'll be fine 'cuz I'll be walking around a lot. So, that's about all that I can think of . Oh, one more thing SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER, thankfully.

School

2007-06-26T10:49:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday

2007-06-12T20:26:00.000-07:00

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MADISYN. Hope you had fun.

2007-06-01T08:16:00.000-07:00

Sorry, you can't read the yellow but I wanted to type it in rainbow colors and I could read on the typing page. It says " composed a song for him and the grade 12s played it except for a coule who couldn't come to the practises. I"

2007-06-01T08:06:00.000-07:00

So, our band concert was last night and we did pretty good. It's a tradition for the grade 12s to give Mr. W a present and usually it's flowers but we decided to be more creative. Pj composed a song for him and the grade 12s played it except for a couple who couldn't come to the practises. I was so nervous I was shaking, I couldn't stop but he loved it. Kayla(the MC) asked all the grade 10s and 11s to leave the stage and Mr.W got this freaked out look on his face because they were playing the last song too. After it, he said that for once he was speechless and that nobody had ever composed a song for him before, so we were glad he liked it. We played a ton of songs, like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik written by Mozart, the Radetzky march, a several others.

2007-05-23T12:43:00.000-07:00

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.

2007-05-23T08:27:00.000-07:00

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!

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

Valemount/Sun Peaks

2007-05-14T07:40:00.002-07:00

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

2007-05-10T08:16:00.001-07:00

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.

2007-05-09T08:20:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow's the big day.

Kiwanis Festival

2007-05-08T07:29:00.001-07:00

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

2007-05-07T08:08:00.001-07:00

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

2007-05-04T08:44:00.001-07:00

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

2007-05-02T07:37:00.001-07:00

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.

Essay

2007-04-25T08:09:00.001-07:00

So, we had an in-class essay in English on Thursday or somewhere around there and we just got them back yesterday and guess what I got. Let me give you a clue, it's the best I've ever done on an essay. Give up yet? I got 83%. We have another essay due tomorrow for Social, I haven't even started it much less looked at the topics. Oopseydaisey.

Cross stitch and band story

2007-04-19T08:06:00.001-07:00

I'm starting a cross stitch project. It's of a cat hanging onto a rope in mid-air and underneath the cat it says " Hang in there." Yesterday in band this guy was annoying this girl and she asked " Mr. W., can I whack him." and Mr.W. said " I don't condone violence, I find that hurtful words go much deeper and last a lot longer." It was soo funny because it was just a joke and he was smiling too which made it even better.

school

2007-04-13T08:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I had an essay due for social. The topic that I wrote on "Should nations have multi-party systems?" I said no, not because that's what I believe but because I had 3 arguments for it. My class schedule is pretty boring, I have the same thing every day, no variations whatsoever. 1st block- Spare, 2nd- English, Lunch, 3rd- Band, and 4th- Social. Band is, by far, my fav. subject, why I don't know because Mr. Weisenburger burns me all the time, it's actually quite funny. With him, you never quite know if he likes or doesn't like you. Oh, and before I forget, I have a solo in "In Yonder Valley" in "Simple Gifts." And it's not a flute solo either. It's only like 6 bars, but I'll take what I can get, so I'm not complaining. It's the first solo that I've had,so I'm excited.
