it's almost the weekend, HOORAY!
So guess what my big news at work was........
We decided to get rid of CUSTOM FRAMING, hooray for me, but not so good for those that depend on it! it was tough to talk to some of the consultants about it, but i am glad because its so hard to visualize what they want to do, when you can be SUPER creative with it. it wasn't very profitable, so we decided to knix it, which i am glad about! HOORAY!
i have to say that today was a pretty good day too, except it keeps getting busier and busier, i hope it dies down again after the holidays, but i LOVE when its slow, its so fun with my pod!
i am SOOOO excited for the weekend. i am going to erin's baby show on saturday morning with lisa, then we are going to watch hsm 1 and 2, to catch her up, and then on sunday my sister is coming home and we are going to see hsm 3! YAH!! so excited!
well have a great night everyone, and happy halloween! :)

My one year anniversary is tomorrow, isn't that crazy?
I remember last year being SOOOOO nervous about starting a new job, and sad about leaving my co-workers at PCI. Of course, i love them, but it was really hard! i cannot believe its a been a year. so to celebrate my podmates and i are going to applebee's, half off appetizers, BABY!
YAH! today was much better, it was so not busy, usually its just mondays that are busy and then it slows down, which was the case for awhile, and then at 4:30, the first shift leaves, then it got busy! also when its lunch time, everyone goes at the same time, me even, when my schedule indicates it, but its really horrible since so many calls get left out there, oh well!
so i still don't know what is going on this weekend, but i am pretty excited for it!! YAH!
well, have a great week, and we shall chat later! :)

Great day, despite not doing anything! haha!
(except posting my arizona trip, just kidding!)
so my day started out kinda slow, i went to bed early last night and got like 12 hours of sleep, so i thought i would bounce right up for church, not so!
i set my alarm to try Jubilee Worship first, that didn't happen, so i set if the next hour for Joy Christian, and then that didn't happen, so my only option was Calvary down the road, which turned out to be really good. The sermon was about david and bathseba, which i had never really dived into what happened, so that was good. the songs are really good there too, they sing old hyms, but liven them up with a band, so maybe God had planned for me to go there, i just don't want to go there for convience, like i want to check out crossroads sat night service, but i think that is kinda bad, plus sara said she thought i would never do that, and that kinda got to me!
then after my walk home in the snow, of course, i actually got my car in the garage with Leanna's, my other roomate, hooray, and then just chilled! i've been doing sit ups and stretches, while watching TV, so i think that has been good. i am going to try to eat good this week, which is not going to be easy, since i pick it with the junk food holiday of the year, WHOOPS!
i did do some shopping, even though i didn't need to get a lot since my dad dropped by yesterday, YAH, and i watched some more skating, which wasn't as great as yesterday, but i will take what i can get, since there is like no skating on tv anymore, i sure miss the good ole days!
so its been nice to chill out, and i feel good and ready for the week!
have a great week! :)

Arizona Trip Review FINALLY!
HAHA, so here is a detailed account of what we did on our trip:
I drove to my parents house Friday afternoon, and we drove to get mom at work, and dad ran over a wire fence type thing, which was so funny. He's such a great driver, that I thought he was just backing up, and I didn't say anything, and then he asked what he hit, and told him it was a fence thingy, it was pretty funny!
we finally got to the airport in one piece, and we got through security and decided to get something at burger king. so dad and i took some coupons and it turned out the lady didn't speak the best english, but she said we don't have those sandwiches, so dad and i went all the way back to our gate, and got different coupons for whoppers, since that is there trademark, and we come back and ask if they have whoppers and the lady says no, then her english speaking manager says, yes we do have those! it was funny! we had bogo's, and she couldn't figure out how to get everything working. so it took awhile, and i told my dad i wanted onion rings, but didn't want to ask her. since it took a while we got a free pop, and so i put coke in mine and dad put diet coke in his and mom's, but i acidentally got them mixed up, so we tested mom since she seems to think she knows best about diet/regular pop! it was pretty funny!
finally we got on the plane, flight was a bit bumpy, but we made it! Another state to check off! then we got our rental car, and drove to a town called Tusayan, which is about 3 1/2 hours from phoenix, and where the Grand Canyon is.
We found our hotel, and almost ran over an elk, so that was exciting, my mom wanted us to go back and get a picture, but we couldn't find it! oh well!
we finally found our hotel, the Red Feather Lodge, which was pretty dumpy, but we checked in at about midnight and knew that we would sleep and get up at about 5:30 for the grand canyon the next morning.
the checkout guy was very french, and my dad left his ID in the car, and when he went to go get it the guy was like "He doesn't think i would let him check in without an id, would he?" then he was like "don't tell your dad i said that!" haha!
we then fell asleep, and we all woke up before the alarm, and it turns out we were about 5 minutes from the canyon, so that was cool!
we wanted to check out Mather Point first, since that is the most popular viewpoint, but we missed it! whoops! it was SOOOOO cold, it was like 20 degrees, but the view was AMAZING! i got a lot of great pictures of the sunset. it was GORGEOUS! everyone must see the grand canyon.
then after seeing the sunset and getting into our cars to warm up, we drove back to the hotel to have breakfast and clean up. the contenintal breakfast was really good, they also had these super cool toasters too!
then we refreshed up and went back out to the canyon, it turns out the visibility was a lot better than it was the day before, but still not great, but i thought it was great! we went to some more viewpoints including Yaki point, which my dad liked saying, and then we went to a gift shop, and then they have a ranger type station where you can get information, and they had this funny sign that said if you are looking for the North Rim (reminder, we were on the south rim) its 5 1/2 hours north. i thought that was pretty funny, since when we got to Tusayan, there were like no signs for the canyon, so the whole time we were wondering if we were in the right spot, and then all of the sudden, out came the little town with a million hotels!
we found out from the rangers, that to hike down would be able 5 1/2 hours, and to hike back up about 7 ot 8, since they say to take breaks, and my mom who thought we should hike, changed her mind after that. there was also a water fountain that said, "do not drink, its frozen!" haha!
after that we went to a grand canyon store and got some food for the drive to Las Vegas, and mom and i both bought grand canyon sweaters, it was pretty funny since we though we should split one, and then we decided not to, and then we looked at other sweaters, dad was getting pretty impatient since he wanted to head to vegas.
then mom found the mules, and took a million picture of them too! Haha!
after this we looked at a couple more view points, and then, since we checked out of the hotel, we headed for Vegas. Nothing like a Sommers family vacation, in and out! :)
the ride to vegas was so pretty, since we got into phoenix it was dark, so i was excited to see the mountains around us. dad also taught me how to read mile markers, which showed how bored i was, but i wanted to watch the views, but mom slept!
we finally started to see signs for vegas, but out first stop before vegas, was the hoover dam. they don't let trucks drive over it, and they have a police block, where you could get your car checked randomly before crossing, which we didn't have to! haha!
so the first thing we did was stop right over a scenic viewpoint, and there is a gift store, and then you can park your cars, and walk over the bridge. So we did that, and found out that as you walked across you walked in Nevada, YAH for me, picture op of me being in Nevada and Arizona! YAH! :)
it was pretty cool though, i think dad was more into it, and there were construction crews working on a bridge above the dam, and everytime there crane moved them, mom would be like "careful!" it was funny. they had a giftshop and i found cactus earrings, but didn't get them since they were pretty expensive, and i figured i could wait to get them, turns out i never found them, sad! but i did get a cute cactus keychain!
they do give tours of the dam, but its expensive, my dad said they used to be free before 9-11, and just so you know the dam is about 700 feet high, WOWZA!!!
then after that we drove to vegas, we got there right before it got dark, but it was crazy since here we were in the middle of a desert, and theres a huge CITY! it was cool seeing the strip up close and personal. i found a road we needed, hwy 15, which i took a picture of since we live on hwy 15! :)
my dad said that he didn't mind the traffic, since he could point things out, but after being in it for awhile, he soon changed his mind, when he first said it my mom and i looked at each other, since he is notorious for freaking out about traffic jams! the first thing i noticed on the strip was the mandalay hotel, which is where a lot of skating shows are.
it was very cool and busy, reminded me alot of times square in NYC. we finally found our hotel, and they had the most comfortable beds. since my eyes were bugging me, and i forgot my contact container/solution, dad went out to get me some, while mom and i took a nap. funny right, what do you do when you get to vegas: take a nap! we were so tired though!
then dad came back, and we had some food we bought earlier, and then walked around. vegas is very pretty, but there are all these guys who walk around handing out naked women posters, which was very gross. plus a million casinos, dad lost $5 in our hotel casino, right away. i didn't gamble though. we did go over to the bellagio and they have this amazing water show, that they put up to music, so that was cool to see.
then we went to Caesar's Palace, and the Forum, or there shops with the most expensive stores, but it was cool to see. We also checked out some casinos, but they were so smokey and gross. vegas was cool, but i don't really recommend going, especially if you have a gambling addiction, or a wedding addiction, tons of chapels! haha!
after that we went to Downtown vegas for more hotels and then there is something called the Fremont Street Experience, and it was almost like the outside of a mall, they had a guy who was spray painting beautiful pictures, very cool! then every once in awhile they dim the lights, and they have a big canopy wall over you that shows pictures, that was pretty cool. I also saw an ABC store, which i LOVE, since they are all over Hawaii! so i had to tell sara!
then we basically went back to the hotel and crashed! the beds were so COMFORTABLE, a big improvement from the previous night! haha!
then the next morning we left for Phoenix, or Po nex, as my dad called it. but first, a stop into California, for literally 5 minutes. We took pictures with the welcome sign, and i guess i forgot that i was in the desert, because i was hopping there would be something touristy, but NOTHING! its still fun to say that i've been to california though!
then now it was on to Po nex, it was very deserty, lots of cacti (i didn't think that was a word, but it was, darn it!) lots of slow people, which dad called Milly and Tilly, or Mr. Milly or Tilly, if it was slow guy, since my mom hates mountains my dad would attempt to pass them, just to freak her out, which is funny since she grew up EVERYWHERE in the US, practically and was around mountains alot!
anyway the scenery was so beautiful down south! we then made a stop over in Sun City, which is where some church friends have a house, so we went there for a bit, and it was nice to have the internet to check into things back home.
after that we drove to our hotel, and i freshed up for the show! YAH!
after the show, since i already posted that review, we came back and ordered pizza, and then mom and dad feel asleep, but i just chilled out, since i knew our flight was leaving the next afternoon, so we didn't have to get up early and go anywhere, so that was nice.
the next morning, we got ready, and then i wanted to find some touristy shops, so we went to a walmart, and i was thinking it would be like the walmart in orlando that has amillion disney touristy things, but this one had nothing, but we ran into a Savers, so mom had to go there, which was pretty funny. where do you shop in the south: the forums expensive shops at Caesars palace, or Savers! haha!
after that we got to the hotel, and they had a gift shop, so i did all my shopping at the airport, and then after we got through security, mom almost got busted for bringing the pizza from the night before, but we got it through, and then dad did his walking around the airport for his daily walk, and then we flew home! nice quick trip, but SOOO fun! afterward i remembered that we didn't even fight at all! haha!
well these are my recommendations: anything SKATING, and the grand canyon!
sorry this review took so long, but enjoy! :)

FANTABULOUS day! I will start at the beginning, which was this morning!
HAHA!
so i didn't really sleep at all last night, literally!! i started to add my arizona pics on facebook, and couldn't stop, so by this time one of my roomates was leaving for work, and i knew my dad was going to stop buy and take my car for a routine check-up, or what he actually does is drive it around, so he doesn't have to use his gas, but he knew right away that i hadn't slept all night, haha! but he brought me some goodies, and then of course he took a piece of pizza, of course. i was all like "this is crazy, no one is going to steal a piece of pizza!" oh well! it was good to see him, and he gave me halloween candy for me and my roomates, he's so sweet. also i gave him a 911 call for laundry detergent, and he came through for me, i told sara and she was like "send him my way when he leaves your place!" haha!
sara and i chatted on facebook, and she practically yelled at me to go to bed, so this was at about 10:00 in the morning, so i slept until 2:30, watched skating (first show of the season, HOORAY!) sasha was in it, so that was cool!
then i did some cleaning: i did dishes, laundry, vaccummed! then after the skating, i went for a walk around the neighborhood, it was pretty nice out, and i have a pretty cute neighbor who was playing basketball outside!
then i was just chillin, when sara called me and was like "I gotta go to fashion bug now!" turns out she decided to change her halloween costume, so she went with being a baby and wanted to get some pajamas at FB, but they closed in about 10 minutes, so she basically picked me "roadside pick up!" we went there, found what she was looking for, and then she dropped me off, since i didn't sleep i know i am going to need to take a sleep pill, which is funny because when she wrote to me this morning on facebook, she was like "didn't you take a sleeping pill?" its not like i am obsessed or a drugie, its just i take them mostly saturday nights, when i need to get up for church!
so that was my day, man it was LONG, since i only slept about 4 hours, oh well! it was great, and just the kind of relaxing day i needed!
well, i am going to dive into a book and hopefully fall asleep soon! have a great night! :)
so i didn't really sleep at all last night, literally!! i started to add my arizona pics on facebook, and couldn't stop, so by this time one of my roomates was leaving for work, and i knew my dad was going to stop buy and take my car for a routine check-up, or what he actually does is drive it around, so he doesn't have to use his gas, but he knew right away that i hadn't slept all night, haha! but he brought me some goodies, and then of course he took a piece of pizza, of course. i was all like "this is crazy, no one is going to steal a piece of pizza!" oh well! it was good to see him, and he gave me halloween candy for me and my roomates, he's so sweet. also i gave him a 911 call for laundry detergent, and he came through for me, i told sara and she was like "send him my way when he leaves your place!" haha!
sara and i chatted on facebook, and she practically yelled at me to go to bed, so this was at about 10:00 in the morning, so i slept until 2:30, watched skating (first show of the season, HOORAY!) sasha was in it, so that was cool!
then i did some cleaning: i did dishes, laundry, vaccummed! then after the skating, i went for a walk around the neighborhood, it was pretty nice out, and i have a pretty cute neighbor who was playing basketball outside!
then i was just chillin, when sara called me and was like "I gotta go to fashion bug now!" turns out she decided to change her halloween costume, so she went with being a baby and wanted to get some pajamas at FB, but they closed in about 10 minutes, so she basically picked me "roadside pick up!" we went there, found what she was looking for, and then she dropped me off, since i didn't sleep i know i am going to need to take a sleep pill, which is funny because when she wrote to me this morning on facebook, she was like "didn't you take a sleeping pill?" its not like i am obsessed or a drugie, its just i take them mostly saturday nights, when i need to get up for church!
so that was my day, man it was LONG, since i only slept about 4 hours, oh well! it was great, and just the kind of relaxing day i needed!
well, i am going to dive into a book and hopefully fall asleep soon! have a great night! :)
I PROMISE i will blog about my trip tomorrow (or later today!)
I actually haven't gone to bed yet, whoopsie! I just posted all of my trip pictures, so as soon as I get some sleep i will post my review! No worries people, right! haha!
PEACE!
PEACE!

FANTABULOUS day was had, hooray!
it started off not so well, you know how i was planning to get up and go to the library this morning, didn't work out! i kinda OVERSLEPT, but i still made it on time! YAH!
work was really fun, it was pretty slow, but i LOVE when its slow, we all get a chance to catch up. Once lisa was even like "What's up pod?" it was pretty funny!
i also called info depot about a question, and got Tricia, who worked with me when i started, we kinda laughed about how i started a year ago and was SOOOO nervous! she said congrats, because i don't call a lot, i guess you could say i don't call because i ask my info depot pod around me! haha!
i also got off work early, which was nice. i did some shopping, and have just been chillin out. i also did some exercises, and by this i mean some (not a lot) of sit ups, and some stretching. next week i am planning to work on eating healthy and trying to get to bed early, so pray for me, its hard, but i am getting pumped!
i think i am going to go to the library tomorrow, and then chillin out, and i kinda want to go for a walk around my house, just to take in the autumn, before snows, and see my surroundings, i can't believe i haven't done that already!
well, nothing much else to say! i will probably do some pre winter cleaning too! have a great weekend everyone!
God bless!

Day was better, so that was good!
It wasn't as horrible, but it still wasn't great, oh when is it going to get better? i sure hope so SOON!
i did talk to my family today, so that was nice. part of it was because i need laundry detergent, but also because i WUV them.
Funny thing happened, last night suzie told me she was going to come over, and i didn't give her specifics on where i lived, but she still tracked me down and woke me up! HAHA! so funny!
also found out that erin had her baby last night, YAH!!
other than that, just getting excited for the weekend, its hump day (def: its wednesday, so we are half way through the week, and going down!) haha!
cu guys later! :)

the morning started out a bit on the slow side, i overslept so i went to calvary, which is three houses down, so i walked, it was actually a lot better than it was last time, so now i think i like calvary, but i don't want to go, just because its so close, so please pray for me!
after church i met lisa and jill at ihop, and we had brunch and it was good! then lisa's sister and there friend (who went to duluth with us!) met us there, and then we went out to st. joe.
it was a lot of fun, there was a pumpkin patch we walked through, and we also went on a hayride! good times! it was so beautiful out too!
then we looked at the animals at the petting zoo, and then we headed home, but before that we decided to go to (SHHHH) crafts direct, i got some stickers that i wouldn't be able to find at work, so that was good!
then we went to lisa's house, since jill hadn't seen it yet, and we hung out, it was fun! after that i was going to go to the matthew west concert, but i was so tired, and still am, so i skipped it!

Great day, what a turn around, huh?
So today i got to SLEEP in, which was WONDERFUL! Boy did i sleep in, then sara came over, and we hung at all day! it was so much fun! we went costume shopping, i didn't find anything, but sara found a super cute butterfly costume that she is going to wear. i probably won't dress up.
then we went to space aliens for supper and we had the nicest waiter, his name was John, and instead of taking our order right away, he asked us about ourselves, he was so nice. he asked what we went to school for and sara and i both liked at each other, it was SOOO funny, it was like we drew a blank! haha!
then after that we went back to sara's, and we decided to check out the haunted house in her town, we didn't go in, since i am such a BABY, but we sat by the campfire with hot chocolate and watched everyone screaming. one of the guys came up and scared me, and i SCREAMED loudly! haha!
we also went to hallmark and found the funniest things ever, its kinda like a brand, and it is hilarious, its called Hoops and Yoyo, and its about a kitty and rabbit, so check it out!!! we died laughing FOREVER!!
well thats about all my news, still not sure what is going to happen tomorrow, but i will keep you posted!
have a great night! :)

ARIZONA, oh how i miss thee!!
So guess what, i got off work early tonight and went to get my pictures, they turned out pretty well, except for the skating ones! GRRR! i better get a digital camera, i think that might be a good idea, but i am not too into technology, so we shall see!!
i was thinking of posting details, but for some reason i took a MILLION notes about EVERYTHING we did, and so it would take me FOREVER (okay people, i am really exagerating here!) to write everything, so that means i need a night, and since sara is doing something saturday morning, that means before we hang out, i get to sleep in! HOORAY!
so i have a full weekend: hanging with sara, i want to try to go to the library on saturday, and then sunday i am trying out one more church (and then i will decide) and then hanging out with the pod, we are going to a harvest thing in st. joe, so that should be fun!
you could please pray for my church, our pastor was fired by the elders and its not something they can talk about in regards to the reason, so please pray! (i can't believe i leave and then all this drama happens) i hope it doesn't split up the church, so please pray!
well, i think i am going to chill with a book, and pray that tomorrow goes by quickly! HSM 3 is coming out next weekend, HOORAY!
PEACE!
so guess what, tomorrow i SHOULD, emphasis on should, post about our trip! YAH!

Kristi Yamaguchi Friends and Family Review
Since I am working on the skating review, i thought i would post it and then post my trip review tomorrow, so enjoy! work went fine today, and my ears feel a little better! HOORAY!
okay guys, so here goes the review!!!!
First off, you know how loud it was, it was WORSE!!! there were a bunch of little girls there for the jonas brothers, but it did help to have a couple next to us there for the skating!! i just tried to keep in mind that if i went to a skating show with my favorites, like Hanson or backstreet boys, don't make fun of me, then i would've gone crazy for them too! we were in row 4 center ice, kinda behind the camera which was kinda bad, but it was cool to watch them record it, and i could see some of the close-ups they did, so that was kinda cool!
I should mention that i knew there wouldn't be a program since it was a Disson show, but i saw some other people with a little paper that talked about everyone in the show, and my dad was determined to get me one, since i am a big scrapbooker, he told me to sit down and that not to worry if the show started and he was still looking, i think he just wanted to get out of it (!!!!!), he did eventually get me two from guest services, YAH! it just said the skaters names, the musicians, and all the Disson people involved that always shows up at the end of all there shows.
before the show was about to start you could see the chairs lined up for the kids. Then a few minutes before the show started the kids came out to sit on the chairs, and then Kristi (yes purplecat in the black with blue shirt) and Peter Carruthers came out to start the show.
The rest of the skaters then came out wearing black pants and black shirts, and they kinda paired off with one adult with one kid, they paired Jamie with Blade Sabovcik, and David with Annie Mae Weiss, since Michael was paired with Christopher, and Josef with his youngest son. Not sure of the other pairings except for the parents that had one child, even though jenni was with one of there boys, and todd with the other one, those Sands boys have the reddest hair!!!! :)
Kristi did a combo spin in the opening, which left me encouraged since i knew that last year at the Seal show she only did camel spins, so i was hoping for two programs with her, but glad for at least one! it was a pretty generic opening, but still good! i did end up liking the music, just not the loud cheering!
then after the opening they announced all the skaters with there kids, and this is when i saw that the non-skating parents/grandparents (i think i saw jenni or todd's mom) with the little babies, so they introduced Emma, Nicole Kerrigan, and Jesse Pelltier, who i think were the young ones, and i saw jamie comforting jesse, so i think that he was scared about the noise, but then they handed off the little kids back to the people in the first row, and the show started.
i don't remember who all skated to what, but steven was the first one after the opening, since he wasn't in the opening, and kristi skated with him for a bit, and then he did his thing (i miss him in SOI) i think he made a mistake by doubling a triple toe, but he was great! too bad we didn't get to see his son! he also did a split jump right in front of us, and the camera, it was scary how close he got! i think he singled his double axel too, so i knew there would be retakes, YAH!
then i think josef skated with his sons, the little one is SOOO cute! he actually skated with them in both numbers, his oldest son is pretty good! he also had to do retakes for a jump, i think, but we found out that he had surgery this past summer, i think for his foot, but he was determined to be there! josef also did his layed out back flips! he dressed alike with his sons in both numbers!
viktor skated to his mambo program with the doll attached to him, but i didn't really get into it! viktor skated with his daughter in his second number, and she is such a great skater, she landed a bunch of jumps with dad. they also did a lot of choreography together and were in sync, it was really good.
michael also skated both numbers with his kids, but he did one with each, he first skated with his son, in his hockey skates, and they did there spread eagle manuevers, and they dressed the same it was cute! michael was spot on with his jumps, he hit all of them and did a bunch of triples, and his back flip got the crowd into his number! the other number michael did was of his daughter singing, and she came out later in the program, and they did a death spiral, which was pretty good, and he did a lift with her!
nancy skated with her boys in both numbers, she did one number with both of them and the other number with just matthew. he has become a great skater, and i think he landed a jump, i'm not sure though, he also did a spin. there first program ended with someone i think husband jerry handing over nicole, and then when nancy had to hold nicole, brian tripped and fell, and they just laughed it off, it was cute! the second number she did was just with matthew and they had some lip syncing parts, and it was kinda cute, but a bit on the sappy side too!
then isabelle/rocky/and gabriella, is it gabrielle or gabrielle, anyway they did another daring program, like last year! it was so great, she is a daredevil like mom!they did a death spiral together, and some lifts, and rocky flipped grabriella a couple times! she's a good skater too! isabelle and rocky did the head banger move too, which i always get nervous about, even when kyoko and john do it too! they also did the spin where gabriella is hanging onto her dad's waist and rocky is spinning isabelle with his hands, pretty cool!
then my favorites: jenni and todd, jamie and david and kristi!
jenni and todd skated mostly with jack, and he started the program, and i could see jenni behind the curtain encouraging him to dance or do the choreography, and it was so cute, when we clapped he really got into it, then mom and dad joined him and todd lifted him a basic chair lift like he does jenni, and that was cute too! the boys dressed just like dad, and then he did the move he was supposed to do last year, and go under jenni! they also brought out matthew at the
end and all waved to the crowd!
then jenni and todd skated to a song by demi lovato, which i groaned about because we all know when a skater skates to live music, disson never shows the full skating performances, but i did like the song, and of course jenni and todd did there usual beautiful program with lifts. jenni's hair is shorter too, but it looks cute! she wore the black dress from the sisters SOI group number in 05.
then jamie and david came out in her purple dress from last years SOI, and so i knew it would be there thankful program from last year, YAH! loved the song, and the program! i love there chair lift they do, and they go into it backwards and then dave goes to one knee and comes back up! then whoever was with them in the front row handed off jesse and they showed him off for the crowd, he is such a cutie!
there second number was a live performance (AHHH!) but very good! they wore there heartbreaker costumes from last years SOI, they also nailed there throw triple salchow, and they did there upside down spinning lift that they did in Superfreak, but with a bit of a variation, so it was nice to see that they are adding more tricks! i they did a split triple twist too! jamie's hair has also gotten longer, i really liked it shorter, so maybe she will cut it sometime! :)
then kristi skated with keara, and it was to the song twinkle, twinkle little star, and i really liked the version, but i am not sure who sung it. keara started out in a swing wearing a white dress, and kristi wore her dress from a couple years ago to amy grant. kristi did a single axel, and keara did a little spiral with keara holding her, and skated under her, it was such a cute number. she also did a little spin, it was adorable, while kristi did a lovely spiral.
Now the finale:
they showed the kids on the chairs, so i was watching them and then the skaters came out, the girls wore new black sparkly dresses! kristi came out and show some cool dance moves (DWTS!) then jamie and dave came out later, since they were the last number, and some black guy started rapping with the jonas brothers, my dad asked me who he was, and i told him i had no idea! :)
at the end when all the skaters bowed with the muscians jack sand kept skating away from mom and dad and jenni had to chase him down a couple times, i though that was pretty cute! i also spotted Steve Disson, and then saw Bret Hedican holding Emma during the show in the family row.
it was a great show, one of the funniest parts was at the end of the first half when one of the jonas brothers that has diabetes did a song about it, and it was supposed to be a slow part, and he said "when i was however old i was diagnosed with diabetes" and then the audienced SCREAMED, it was pretty funny! my dad was laughing!
also other good things, Kristi said she was so nervous skating with keara! the skaters were so good that the retakes just included josef and steven, and then peter and kristi fixed some annoucnments up, and peter announced the jonas brothers and i think the audience thought they were coming out again, even though i knew they weren't! i kinda wanted to yell that they were done, so i could watch the retakes without the screaming, but it was a fun show! so glad i went, the music was actually pretty good even though i've just heard about most of the musicians!
my dad asked me where her show is going to be next year, so maybe i will get to add another couple states to my list! haha! great show, i recommend everyone going to it, and going to the grand canyon, that was FABULOUS! okay i am done now, sorry about the long review!
okay guys, so here goes the review!!!!

then after the opening they announced all the skaters with there kids, and this is when i saw that the non-skating parents/grandparents (i think i saw jenni or todd's mom) with the little babies, so they introduced Emma, Nicole Kerrigan, and Jesse Pelltier, who i think were the young ones, and i saw jamie comforting jesse, so i think that he was scared about the noise, but then they handed off the little kids back to the people in the first row, and the show started.
i don't remember who all skated to what, but steven was the first one after the opening, since he wasn't in the opening, and kristi skated with him for a bit, and then he did his thing (i miss him in SOI) i think he made a mistake by doubling a triple toe, but he was great! too bad we didn't get to see his son! he also did a split jump right in front of us, and the camera, it was scary how close he got! i think he singled his double axel too, so i knew there would be retakes, YAH!
then i think josef skated with his sons, the little one is SOOO cute! he actually skated with them in both numbers, his oldest son is pretty good! he also had to do retakes for a jump, i think, but we found out that he had surgery this past summer, i think for his foot, but he was determined to be there! josef also did his layed out back flips! he dressed alike with his sons in both numbers!
viktor skated to his mambo program with the doll attached to him, but i didn't really get into it! viktor skated with his daughter in his second number, and she is such a great skater, she landed a bunch of jumps with dad. they also did a lot of choreography together and were in sync, it was really good.
michael also skated both numbers with his kids, but he did one with each, he first skated with his son, in his hockey skates, and they did there spread eagle manuevers, and they dressed the same it was cute! michael was spot on with his jumps, he hit all of them and did a bunch of triples, and his back flip got the crowd into his number! the other number michael did was of his daughter singing, and she came out later in the program, and they did a death spiral, which was pretty good, and he did a lift with her!
nancy skated with her boys in both numbers, she did one number with both of them and the other number with just matthew. he has become a great skater, and i think he landed a jump, i'm not sure though, he also did a spin. there first program ended with someone i think husband jerry handing over nicole, and then when nancy had to hold nicole, brian tripped and fell, and they just laughed it off, it was cute! the second number she did was just with matthew and they had some lip syncing parts, and it was kinda cute, but a bit on the sappy side too!
then isabelle/rocky/and gabriella, is it gabrielle or gabrielle, anyway they did another daring program, like last year! it was so great, she is a daredevil like mom!they did a death spiral together, and some lifts, and rocky flipped grabriella a couple times! she's a good skater too! isabelle and rocky did the head banger move too, which i always get nervous about, even when kyoko and john do it too! they also did the spin where gabriella is hanging onto her dad's waist and rocky is spinning isabelle with his hands, pretty cool!
then my favorites: jenni and todd, jamie and david and kristi!
jenni and todd skated mostly with jack, and he started the program, and i could see jenni behind the curtain encouraging him to dance or do the choreography, and it was so cute, when we clapped he really got into it, then mom and dad joined him and todd lifted him a basic chair lift like he does jenni, and that was cute too! the boys dressed just like dad, and then he did the move he was supposed to do last year, and go under jenni! they also brought out matthew at the
end and all waved to the crowd!
then jenni and todd skated to a song by demi lovato, which i groaned about because we all know when a skater skates to live music, disson never shows the full skating performances, but i did like the song, and of course jenni and todd did there usual beautiful program with lifts. jenni's hair is shorter too, but it looks cute! she wore the black dress from the sisters SOI group number in 05.
then jamie and david came out in her purple dress from last years SOI, and so i knew it would be there thankful program from last year, YAH! loved the song, and the program! i love there chair lift they do, and they go into it backwards and then dave goes to one knee and comes back up! then whoever was with them in the front row handed off jesse and they showed him off for the crowd, he is such a cutie!
there second number was a live performance (AHHH!) but very good! they wore there heartbreaker costumes from last years SOI, they also nailed there throw triple salchow, and they did there upside down spinning lift that they did in Superfreak, but with a bit of a variation, so it was nice to see that they are adding more tricks! i they did a split triple twist too! jamie's hair has also gotten longer, i really liked it shorter, so maybe she will cut it sometime! :)
then kristi skated with keara, and it was to the song twinkle, twinkle little star, and i really liked the version, but i am not sure who sung it. keara started out in a swing wearing a white dress, and kristi wore her dress from a couple years ago to amy grant. kristi did a single axel, and keara did a little spiral with keara holding her, and skated under her, it was such a cute number. she also did a little spin, it was adorable, while kristi did a lovely spiral.
Now the finale:
they showed the kids on the chairs, so i was watching them and then the skaters came out, the girls wore new black sparkly dresses! kristi came out and show some cool dance moves (DWTS!) then jamie and dave came out later, since they were the last number, and some black guy started rapping with the jonas brothers, my dad asked me who he was, and i told him i had no idea! :)
at the end when all the skaters bowed with the muscians jack sand kept skating away from mom and dad and jenni had to chase him down a couple times, i though that was pretty cute! i also spotted Steve Disson, and then saw Bret Hedican holding Emma during the show in the family row.
it was a great show, one of the funniest parts was at the end of the first half when one of the jonas brothers that has diabetes did a song about it, and it was supposed to be a slow part, and he said "when i was however old i was diagnosed with diabetes" and then the audienced SCREAMED, it was pretty funny! my dad was laughing!
also other good things, Kristi said she was so nervous skating with keara! the skaters were so good that the retakes just included josef and steven, and then peter and kristi fixed some annoucnments up, and peter announced the jonas brothers and i think the audience thought they were coming out again, even though i knew they weren't! i kinda wanted to yell that they were done, so i could watch the retakes without the screaming, but it was a fun show! so glad i went, the music was actually pretty good even though i've just heard about most of the musicians!
my dad asked me where her show is going to be next year, so maybe i will get to add another couple states to my list! haha! great show, i recommend everyone going to it, and going to the grand canyon, that was FABULOUS! okay i am done now, sorry about the long review!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited, or was that a bit much?
JUST KIDDING!
i am so glad that i am done with work, and won't be back until Tuesday! i did end up getting off early, which was nice, BUT from my first call I had SITUATIONS, SITUATIONS, and more SITUATIONS! Mostly the ones that were fixable, but a lot of questions along the way. So now tell me this, i don't do returns or anything like that, so how come i am on that line, it SUCKS! i would be totally fine if they trained me probably, and they said the reason is because there aren't a lot of people that do returns, so its just annoying! Oh well, no more work talk, i am done for the LONG weekend!
now some good news, Pete is doing great, had another surgery was successful, with the help of the MN Twins team doctors, how cool is that? I asked pete to get joe to come to our church, hopefully he can help me out with this SMALL, small request! haha!
now i am done packing, my dad will probably kill me when he sees it, but then again he always does, nothing new there! :)
so i am all ready to go, and we are leaving kimball at about 2:00 tomorrow afternoon and flying into Phoenix, i of course, will keep you all updated on everything going on when i get back!
Yah for me having money to do stuff like this! also another cool thing was that since i got off early, i hung out with leanna, my roomate that i don't see to much, so that was nice too!
now i am going to try, unsuccessfully i am sure, to sleep! AHHHHHH!!! who am i kidding!
bye!
Have a great weekend, while i enjoy it in Arizona, and other parts of the west coast! :)

So now "technically" one more day, just of work!!!
I am getting so excited, i think its distracting me from work! oh well! but today was not normal as most of the calls i took were complicated procedures that took FOREVER, ahh! its not that it sucks or anything, its just that we have TONS, and i mean tons of problems shipping packages to our Canadian consultants, that whenever i get a Canadian cons i can pretty much tell that its going to be a shipment problem, and then you have to call international UPS and they transfer you to like 8 different people, and then you finally get someone that can help and they say they have to get back to you, boy talk about bad customer service, i'm glad CM isn't like that!
but yeah, basically i was wanting it to be a slow day and then it just got busy, but still slow! that is the absolute worse thing!
something sad i found out, my friend from PCI vicki is moving to VEGAS over the weekend, so i am hoping we can meet up with her in vegas while we are there. i was joking with her earlier that its funny that we have to meet each other one the west coast to hang out, despite us living, for now, 10 minutes apart! i'm not very good at keeping in contact with people! another one leaves the PCI nest! :)
my friend Pete is doing a lot better, he's been doing therapy now and he could get sprung from the hospital soon! the Lord is so great!
have a great night!

God is SO AMAZING!
Wow, what a day!
So it started out great, I checked out Joy Christian Center, which was really good. no communion though, why doesn't anyone take communion anymore?!?!? but the worship was good, and the place was HUGE. there was a girl i work with that was there, so that was nice.
then after that i basically chilled out, since it was such an icky day, i decided to not do anything with Sara, and went home instead, which was good, BUT........
i got a letter from my church saying that our pastor had turned in his resignation, only to find out that he was fired, but the elders can't tell us why, so there was a prayer meeting, and it turns out that a lot of people were upset, which was sad to see how they treated the elder who was manning the meeting. i think if our pastor was doing something he should've been doing, and they told him beforehand, that he should've got fired. but please pray for my home church, i think a lot of people are going to not be happy about this, and go find another church, and its hard since we've never had senior pastor problems since we've had Jerry forever, so please pray!
also found out that a friend at church was in a serious accident, and fell 28 feet off of a roof for his job, and he's in critical condition, but very blessed to be alive, that is why God is so amazing!
i am so excited for my trip, we found out that some people in our church have a home in Phoenix, and said that we could go there for a night, if we want to, HOORAY!
so i am SO ready to get out of town for awhile, plus it will be nice weather! now i am just trying to figure out how to sneak my camera in, eeekkk!!
well pray for everyone mentioned above, and me at work! thanks!

SHOPPING!
shopping was so much fun today! i didn't get a lot of sleep, so it was kinda hard to get up, but Lisa and I had SO MUCH FUN! i didn't think antiquing would be super fun, but it was.
we went to this one store called A wreath of Franklin (like Aretha Franklin, get it?) plus a ton of other shops. we also went to this deli, which was AMAZING! great sandwiches!
then after that we headed to Kimball, and we saw my families new baby kitties, they are so cute! so that was fun. i still might go home tomorrow, just to plan our trip, but who knows? i will let you know tomorrow!
then we went to st. cloud, and did some clothes shopping! i ended up getting an outfit, YAH! so that was good!
i'm still not sure if sara and i are getting together, or even what church i am going to go to, but i will let you know! it might be nice to just chill out tomorrow, and do some planning for the trip!
well, i am SUPER tired, so i think i am going to get ready for bed! have a great night! :)

Its the weekend, it's about time! :)
YAH! today took forever, and i usually get to leave early on friday nights, but not tonight, way sad! oh well my next pay check will be good!
at least it was pretty slow, so i got to catch up with jill, its just been so busy we hadn't had time to talk, and now she tells me an old boyfriend came into town and she's got butterflies, that woman sure knows how to pick up the guys! i was like "how come us youngins (me and lisa) aren't meeting anyone! AHHHH!! i always joke that we work with all girls, and then we all go out on the weekends! haha! i know God has someone for me, and will reveal him to me sometime! hopefully sooner rather than later!
i am very happy for jill though, she's been through a lot!
now i am just excited to hang out with lisa tomorrow, its going to be me and her, and we are going to buffalo first to antique, and then to my house, and then doing some more shopping in st. cloud, so that will be fun!
i also think i am going to check out joy christian center, which is where Lisa lives, so that will be nice, and then i might be scrapbooking some more with sara, or else going home to finalize trip plans!
well, that is my weekend plans, and then just get through 4 days of work, and i am getting very excited for my trip! HOORAY! :)
well i better get to bed since lisa and i are hanging out early tomorrow, eeeekkk! byebye!

The Lord is giving me peace!
He truly has, i don't know why today, of all days, its not like its the weekend or anything, but i just feel very happy at my new place, and at work, and with friends. maybe its because i am going on vacation next weekend, but its a nice feeling! i feel really blessed, and just sat down with the Lord and had a great prayer session!
nothing much to report, work went pretty good! i feel as though i am catching on more and more, and it doesn't hurt that I got a 100% on my evaluation! HOORAY! i just hope i can keep it up, because we are having a contest for the rest of the year!
well, its kinda sad to not report on anything MN twins, but they had a great season, and i am getting passed it, slowly! :)
now just getting excited to go on my trip, and planning to get some more scrapbooking stuff to scrap it! YAH! :)
its almost Friday, hang in there everyone! :)
