Collegeville Orchards

So today was the day that i hung out with my podmates and we went to collegeville orchards for a day to hang out!

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!

i've been chillin out, and getting nervous for work tomorrow, but i just need to chill out, and NOT PANIC! check out this link, its HILARIOUS: http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/article%7C10001%7C10051%7C/HallmarkSite/GoldCrownStores/GCS_HOOPS_GIFTS%7Cstores

i am very excited for next weekend, i am doing NOTHING, but chillin out and watching skating, so i am pretty excited! YAH!

c u guys later!

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! :)

BAD DAY, REALLY REALLY bad day!

As if that weren't enough, it was a HORRIBLY bad day! I don't wish to elaborate, but let's just say that my day was not very well!

So i will keep it at that, and pray that the following week goes well! guess what....

SKATING starts next weekend! i am SOOOOO excited! i think i am just planning a me weekend, but this weekend seems to get more and more busier, as I found out that someone at Joy Christian Center, said they have free tickets to the Matthew West, so i think i am going to that on sunday night! HOORAY! I am youtubing him right now, and i know a lot of his songs! YAH!

well i am feeling kinda tired, so i think i am going to go to bed! Pray for me next week! AHHHH!!! i think i will post a review of the trip tonight, if i feel like it! :)

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!

oh well!

i am so tired, so friday night i will tell you all about my trip, and hopefully i will have my pictures by then, didn't get up early enough to get them before work, and they were closed after work! GRRR!!

well i am going to be nighty night! :)

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!
