Dinner Conference, Scott's Concert, Tea Dance and More!
Last Thursday, my boss called and wondered if I would like to come to a dinner conference in Ottawa with her that evening. It was a very nice buffet dinner. While we were eating, a naturopath gave a talk for Natural Factors (a natural supplement company) about some of their latest products. It was nice to learn more about what I am selling!
Friday night was Scott's last concert of the year with the OUO (Ottawa University Orchestra). Shawn and I went early to save seats for Mom, Dad, Nana and Papa. Uncle Robin and my cousin Leah were able to come as well. Dad had been in Toronto for the last part of the week. He drove home Friday afternoon, had dinner and then drove Mom, Nana and Papa into the concert. Busy day. The orchestra played a very long piece, "Brahm's German Requiem". There was a large choir of close to 120 people. There was two vocal soloists performing as well. It was a great concert. I'm so glad we were all able to go.
This afternoon, the last tea dance of the season was held at the Almonte Town Hall. The Women's Institute always does the tea, sweets and sandwiches for the dances. I went to work with another lady this afternoon. There was lots of people out today to dance. It's fun to watch all the different couples dancing. This past week I finished my e learning! I only have two more driving lessons before I can take my G2. I am looking forward to having all this done... and being able to just drive. I booked my test this week for April 20th. Please pray that everything goes well and that I'm not too nervous...
I have started another blog, Quotes about Life, Love and Faith. Some of you may have noticed the link on my sidebar. It's a place that I can put all the quotes that I find. Feel free to go over and take a look!

Brad Paisley Concert!
Last Sunday evening January 30th 2011 our whole family and my friend Tannis went to see Brad Paisley in concert! There was two opening acts as well, Darius Rucker and Jerrod Niemann. We had a fun evening listening to some groovy country music including my favorite country song "I thought I Loved You Then" by Brad Paisley. Mom and Dad
The stage before the singers came on (after they came on it was impossible to get a nice picture with all the lights going)
Brad Paisley singing
It was great fun to go see Brad Paisley live as we have always enjoyed his music. Also at the end Carrie Underwood came out on the stage to sing a few notes with Brad! It was neat seeing her in person.
"One thing I love about coming up here", Brad Paisley joked during the evening, Are all the Tim Horton's you have. I have never seen such national pride in a donut store".

1 Rain Storm = No Internet = No Posting...
This past week has been... interesting as you can see by my post title. We had a large storm last Saturday night that took out our Internet so my blogging came to an abrupt standstill 'till yesterday.
Last Friday evening Dad, Mom, Scott and I went to a piano recital of a young man whose family we have known since I was little. Wei is going off to University this fall for his second year. He gave an amazing concert!Sunday, August 8, 2010
"The Taming Of The Shrew"
The play went great! It was so much fun and we all had a great time. Lots of laughs. My role went very well and I could not believe how much I enjoyed it. A good experience. It was very good to be able to learn from the experienced actors and actresses. I will hopefully be getting pictures from people in the next few weeks and will post when I get some.
Caroline, Tannis, Louise and her sister Rosie all came. Nana and Papa came too. It was so nice to see you all! Caroline and Scott were playing at Caroline's church on Saturday before the play and then they played at our Mass Sunday morning. It was a special blessing. Caroline spent the night on Saturday. We had a great time together.
I hope you all have a blessed week...

Disney Concert
This past Sunday afternoon was the final concert for the choir that I am in with eight other girls. We had a Disney theme this concert. It was so fun to sing all these classic songs! We had a great time the past few months practicing.
Laura, Ursula and I
