it feels good already.

Yesterday was my first day of work! I was incredibly nervous before I got there. Once I met the two girls I was working with I realized I really didn't have anything to stress about. My supervisor is so nice! The residents are so nice! Working is fun! Didn't drop any dishes, or mess up orders! And the best part is.. it feels good to know that when I get my pay check, I'll have earned it. (:

summer 09'

Soo .. as sad as it is to say, school is now just around the corner. Grade 11! Kind of getting excited, I really miss everyone. But with this statement comes the fact that my summer holidays are slowly ending! It's sure been a summer filled with lots of memories! Laughs! Tears! And many other emotions! I left on July 13th, to go and spend 3 1/2 weeks at my aunt & uncles in Smithers, BC! My trip there was amazing. I always find it so fascinating how much a relationship can grow in such a short period of time! My cousins, they are spectacular! They each have such different personalities, but each make me smile every minute of the day. I miss the sleepovers, with some awesome girl talk! Going to the lake! Watching swimming lessons! Endless Starbucks trips! Late night movies with my auntie & uncle! Dancing to the music on my Ipod! Laughing with my auntie! And SO much more!

Auntie Darlene .. You are absolutely without a doubt amazing! I love you so much! My relationship with you has become something so important to me! Your not only my aunt, but my friend. Someone I trust so much! Someone who I can laugh with about anything and everything! A shoulder I can cry on! Spending time with you, and having endless conversations always opens my eyes to see negative situations more positively. You put a smile on my face in an instant. I love you so much! And miss you so much!

Back to the summer.. Close to the end of July, my mom came out to Smithers as well. We left (mom, auntie, cousins, and I) to head back to Winnipeg on August 3rd. Our first day we left around 5:45 am, and drove to Jasper to spend the night there. Our next day we headed out again bright and early to Saskatoon, stayed with uncle ricks parents! And our last day we headed to home to Winnipeg! I have never seen 3 little girls as excited as my cousins to be in Winnipeg! It was so great to have everyone stay with us!
-
While everyone was here we had a really great time! Went to the spa one day with my mom & auntie to get pedicures! It was a really relaxing day! Spent one afternoon mini golfing with auntie, and cousins. Just before the wedding, my dad's brothers family came into Winnipeg as well. Spent one afternoon swimming in the Comrie's pool! It was super fun. Also enjoyed time playing rock band with the boys, and just happened to whoop their butts! ;) aha!
-
In mid August it was sad to say goodbye to my baby! We had to put our dog Lady down shortly after I was back from my trip! You were defintely a the best puppy ever! I remember when I was little and used to wake up early on saturday mornings, and since mom & dad were sleeping would let you jump on on the couch and cuddle with me. I also remember laying on the floor and using you as my pillow. Or just endless times playing with you. I miss having you here. I miss you welcoming us home. I miss giving you your cookie. I miss having you at the lake with us. I miss you not being at my feet right now, wanting attention. You're always in my heart! And will never be replaced! Always my favourite!

On August 16th, my brother got married! It was a wonderful day. And I'm very excited for him and my SIL! I'll post pictures in a later blog. (:
-
After the wedding, all our family headed back home. It's been pretty queit since than. Went out to the cabin this past weekend. It was nice to just relax. Caught up on alot of sleep too! Monday we left and went to Grand Forks. Came home today! It was nice to get away one last time!
As for the next week and a half.. I start my job tomorrow. Looking forward to it, but am also incredibly nervous! Gonna spend time with friends! Than before I know it.. it'll be time for school & dance!

Overall I'll say summer has been great!

new blog layout !

"My life" (the blog) has been hi-jacked. Unforseeable changes have occured and I am currently not sure why my blog is being messed with! But I think I might like the new look!? What about you?

Daddy...be sure to keep your eyes open because there is a blog coming just for YOU!

Don't you love me?

Yep I know you do and that is why that is all I am going to say!

Good night!

but well i didn't
but oh well.

and thanks mom for taking me with you.

leaving tomorrow =DD

i'm employed!

yesterday while on our way to a friend of mom's for lunch
I got a phone call .. asking if I could come in later that afternoon for an interview.
so we turned around the van and headed back home.
in got all dressed and ready, and was incredibly INCREDIBLY nervous.
well when I got there I met Jeff, the Manager and owner of Devonshire House.
It's an Assisted Living Building, opening in Late August.
He told me about the plans for their Kitchen, and dining room.
Instead of just having one specific thing the residents can eat for dinner,
they receive a menu, like a restaurant, and so .. they need servers.
well the interview went on, and he seemed very impressed with my wide range in volunteer experience ..
and eventually said "Well, I'd like to offer you the Job!" WOOOOOOOOOO!
It starts at $9.25 and hour, and is everyday after school!
I'd been praying that this job would work out! Because it works with my dance schedule.
So it's official, i'm employed.
I start working the day after my brothers wedding! So this makes for an even busier summer!
Can't wait till the first day! (:

summer holidays!

so i've realized how extremely hopeless i have become at remembering I have a blog
and thinking of things to actually write on it.
in about 15 days I leave to Smithers, and I`m so excited
and I promise while I`m there I will blog a little more often!
not much has been new, same friends, no boyfriend, school`s done, and now dance is as well.
Over the summer I have so much to think about for my future!
Dance this year has become a little well .. let`s say stressful.
most days their is more disappointment than excitement when I come home
I just finished my 13th year of dance, and obviously just from the statement
you can tell I love it!
And I`m not saying I don`t anymore, I do! When i forget about all the stupidity around me
I actually once again enjoy it!
Some days I find it so hard though, everyone including me !! ..
has no idea what they want anymore, all of us are in the same position
frustrated, hurt, disappointed, confused ..
We find dance some days more like work than fun!
and it`s not meant to be that way ..
I used to come home from school and get ready for dance like an hour before class ..
now I find myself getting ready maybe two minutes before I leave ..
what has happened to my enthusiasm?
and maybe the problem is just me, maybe I need to just not care anymore,
forget about the way the teachers act (who might I say act a little immature frequently)
forget about the drama that ends up happening inbetween us,
forget about the way everyone is treated completely different and unfairly ..
and just try my best to love where I am in my life of i guess well dance.
I know I might be rumbling on but believe me this helps me sort out my thoughts
this is an ongoing battle for me, to decide what next school and dance year are going to bring.
The plan as of right now (which is bound to change) is..
* Take Ballet and Tap at WDF and continue doing my Ballet Exams
* I`ll be in grade 11! (: yaaaay!
* Get WAAAYY WAAAY WAAAY more involved in my school
(grade 12 is around the corner, scholarships)
* Work! HOOORAY! lol
I applyed at a Seniors Home a couple weeks ago, so we`ll see where that goes
and I`d also hope to get a weekend job possibly at the mall or something like that!
* Get more involved somehow at church! (: (:
SOO it seems that as I get less busy at dance, I`ll be more busy in other things
and I can`t complain, after all I would be bored silly if my life wasn`t insane!

One last thing, here is some pictures of a bon fire my friends and I enjoyed the other night (:

what have i been up to?

well not much of anything actually,
studying. studying. studying.
we went to the cabin i think two weekends ago,
it was nice to get away and relax before preparing for exams
now i'm looking forward to leaving for a little while.
just under a month until i leave!!
