So apparently it has been far too long since I have updated my blog. Just a few weeks ago I had my dad tell me that if I wasn't going to blog then I had no business having a blog. Really...? I live with you! Why do you need me to update my blog to know about my life. I laughed to myself on the inside. And then a few days later I had a friend inform me that I hadn't updated my blog in a LONG time. I didn't even know said friend read my blog. So here I am at 5:55am yup you read that right 5:55am updating my blog. Some of you might ask yourselves who is up at 5:55am on a Sunday morning? Well I have actually been up since 4:30am. I have been blessed with a wonderful cold that insists on waking me up at 4:30am every morning to have a coughing fit. Normally I do the regular, cough up flem, take my inhaler, suck on a candy or cough drop and I normally fall back to sleep in a half hour or so. But not today folks, I even resorted to taking Buckley's and it did not help. So it is your lucky day and here I am blogging.
Where to begin? It has been a really long time since I have written anything. I guess lets start back at the beginning of October. Well me and my best friend Kelsey are both fans of Brad Paisley, so when we heard that he was coming to Calgary we jumped on that and got tickets. Well the day finally arrived and we couldn't have been more excited! We had both seen him before and knew that it was going to be an amazing concert. So we get to Calgary, we were a little early so we went and ate, went down to the saddle dome, bought concert t-shirts, and went on our quest to find our seats. Well let me tell ya, when they show you a little tiny picture on your computer screen it looks alot different than where you actually sit. We finally found our section and Kelsey was ahead of me and started walking up the stairs, and she kept walking up the stairs and kept walking up the stairs. Mean while I'm thinking to myself, ok she is going to stop any minute now...nope we had the top row seating. Like we couldn't have been any higher up in the section. We were sitting by the spot light guy! Oh man did we have a good laugh about it. So the concert starts, we watch the opening acts which were amazing even from boonie ville seat section, and just before Darius Rucker ends this random guy comes up to me asks how many are in my party and gives us 2 AMAZING new tickets and tells me to enjoy the show from a better view! NO WAY! We were STOKED!!! Sometimes it pays off to sit in crappy seats. Well let me tell you, the seats were close enough that we could see Brad Paisley without looking at the big screens. It was so much fun and Brad did not disappoint. His performance was so good I loved every minute of it. I however did not love every minute of waking up the next morning to go to work after only getting 5 hours of sleep. But I guess I shouldn't complain because if Kelsey is reading this she only got 3 hours before she had to go to her first class of nursing clinical.
Well after the concert came Halloween. I am not a dress up yay Halloween person. I have always kinda hated thinking up a costume and trying to find stuff to make it work, blah blah always the same story every year. Well this year I wanted a good costume so whilst brainstorming at work the girl I work with said why don't you go as Hermione (I think that's how you spell it) you know the girl from Harry Potter. I have a really good friend who I told should go as Harry Potter. At first he did not like this idea but he eventually came around and he made a pretty good Harry Potter. Well the costumes came together so good. I loved them. We looked pretty legit. And thanks to my big sister Kelly who was the life saver for this costume, if it wasn't for her they would not have looked near as good. For some reason Lethbridge this year decided that black capes were over rated and did not sell any. I couldn't find a black cape anywhere. So I called my sister in a panic because she had seen a black cape at the Walmart up in Sylvan Lake and asked her if she could go see if there were some left. Well our lucky day there were 2 left. So with days until Halloween she over night mailed them and the day was saved! Thanks again Kell!!! We went to the church dance and got so many complements on our costumes. We even had random people come ask us for a picture. We were famous no big deal. I also got to help Kelsey make her costume. She was a witch and we made her a toutou skirt with black, purple, white and green tool. It turned out really cute. Took a ton of time but it was worth it in the end. Over all Halloween this year was a success. I have never put so much time and effort into a costume but it turned out so good!
Well theres October in a nut shell. On to November. Not a whole lot of exciting things have happened this month. Me and mom decorated for Christmas which is always fun. But for the most part it has been a month of learning for me. Through a series of events this month I have come to feel and know that my Saviour loves me and is aware of me. I have gone through some things that I wouldn't have been able to get through without him or my family who I thank for listening to me and being there for me through it all. Thankfully things have worked themselves out and life is back to what I can consider normal. I'm not sure I can say that I am grateful for what I went through but I can say that I'm glad its over. This past weekend was preference (the one dance a year where the girl asks the guy), I took one of my good friends and it turned out to be a really fun night. If your looking for a fun date to go on, I suggest going on a dessert tour. We went out and ate McDonalds just to put some substance in our stomachs and then went to 3 different restaurants and had desserts. It was so fun and then we went to the dance which was actually a pretty fun dance.
Hope you enjoyed the update, and hopefully I will have more to blog about soon.
