Keith Urban!?!?!?!
"and I almost died!"
Ok so today I was recalling a story from the summer... or maybe spring of last year and I decided that it was blog worthy so here it goes:
So last year heather was the youth leader at our church and she decided that it would be fun to have a jr. high youth trip... just a day to Nanaimo... it was all planned out and it was going to be so fun! So we had heather and I as leaders/drivers, Kaila and Jono as sr. high leaders and then 5 or 6 jr. highs... not a huge group but a very great one!
So off we went to Nanaimo we had a sweet scavenger hunt/car rally type game thing on the way there and it went amazingly! Then we went mini golfing... we had some sweet costumes etc. After that we had lunch and went to New Castle Island for a few hours... I really like it there... after that it was dinner and off to Parksville beach. For anyone who hasn't been to Parksville beach it also has a HUGE play ground and was going to be the PERFECT place to play a wonderful night game heather and I had planned. We showed up... it was dark and there were a few people a bit further down closer to the skate park but no one at the park. So heather and I go about setting up the game and we see that these people by the skate park are drinking and maybe doing something more... We just told the youth to stay on our side of the beach and figured we would be ok. Well the game started and the drunk people started to come closer and closer... I started to feel a bit uncomfortable so I decided that I was going to go and protect the girls so I started to walk around with their group.... well this guy was starting to talk to us... my great idea was to ignore him... BAD IDEA! He started to follow us and was getting bit ticked... he ended up getting distracted by some other people who had shown up and drunk guy #1 and #2 started to harass them... by this time we were all one big group because we were all getting a bit scared of the drunks. This other group decided not to put up with drunky #1 and #2 and they left... but not without more harassment... they were banging on their car and throwing stuff at it. Well after this car left they decided to turn their attention back to us... by this time we were all getting pretty close to the beach. Heather had managed to get her cell phone out of the car at one point... not entirely sure when... but I do remember it being a scary moment. So their attention is back on us and they are even more drunk or whatever they were by this time. They ended up starting to follow us down the beach... We start walking faster and faster and they started walking faster and faster. They are also yelling at us and becoming quite harassing... that made no sense... ok they were really starting to harass us! Heather told us to head down the beach to the hotel becuase it was all lit up and the people wouldn't dare attack us there... ok she didn't say they would attack us but she did tell us to go to the hotel. By this time she is on the phone calling 911 to get some police here to get these drunks to leave us and our 6 jr highs alone. By this time all the jr highs are running down the beach as fast as they can, some of them are almost crying and by this time we were all sure we were going to be killed by these guys. Once we were all in front of the hotel they stopped following us and turned around... the police ended up coming... they though we made the whole thing up... the drunks were gone by this time... we decided that a night game might not be the best idea and instead we opted to go home early... Needless to say I have never gone back to that place after dark and I never plan to... i value my life too much. My favorite part though was hearing one of the youth tell a friend about the story at church the next day as she finished up the story she ended with "and we almost died!" Now I look back and think man she was exagerating but she wasn't they were really, really scary, big and drunk!

How come we do this to ourselves?
So last night Heather and I drove up to Regina to a friends birthday dinner. Talk about Awkward... ok maybe not as bad as the student household bbq at the beginning of the year... this time they didn't forget to talk to us or make circles around us excluding us or not even say good-bye when we went to leave... but it was still very awkward... we managed to get at a table with 3 couples... or at least that is how they acted! But back to the beginning so we show up... o right it was at Moxies, a late dinner thing... and are introduced to a few people... stand there awkwardly for a few min then we are told our tables are ready so us and a few other people start making our way to "our table" well there were 6 of us standing there and only 4 chairs... so Heather and I being the sweet people we are went and sat at another table (we were going to get the whole room eventually... and we were sure someone would sit with us) well we ended up sitting there by ourselves while everyone filled up tables around us... and it was definitely obvious that we were alone... people kept staring at us and talking... we ended up moving to another table with people... Thanks Linden!... so then they talked to us a bit but it was definitely obvious that we were not with "our group" of people. oooo... another important detail we made this cookbook thing for our friend for his b-day and I guess he really liked it because we basically became known as the people who made the cookbook for Linden... ya so now we're awkward sisters who have no friends and make cookbooks... I'd also like to point out it was a very cool cook book which has tons of pics and step by step directions... VERY helpful... and he really did like it (he claims) which is why he was telling everyone about it. Anyways we ended sharing the biggest plate of Nachos I've ever seen (me and heather that is)... did I mention that we were only invited to this thing at like 6 (it was at 9) and we had already eaten dinner before we went... so neither of us was very hungry but we had to order something we that we didn't look even dumber! after 2 hours we decided that it was time to leave... heather was working today... so that was our night! I'm so glad I have a sister to hang out with so when things like that happen we have each other to talk to!
Well I better be going I have to get ready for a Good Friday brunch I'm going to... again I won't know too many people... but this time I'm by myself! Well I'm praying it is a better experience than last night... I'll let you know how it goes

Work?
So when I realized that school was going to be over in a month I decided that it was about time for me to start applying for summer jobs. Now I wish I didn't have to work and I could just stay in school... I HATE APPLYING FOR JOBS! I've applied for about 5 now and continually looking out for places I could work. If you have any ideas let me know if... I'll keep you updated on the job hunt...
