Long weekend

We have a long weekend here in lovely Alberta so we have been super buzy. (Here they call it heritage day-according to signs, in lovely bc it is bc day) Well I should update you on the week so far

FLASHBACK! To thursday
I get up at 7:45 to get ready for work, and I am ready with my lovely ginger Willie at 8:20 like normal...we wait, 8:30 rolls around and we start getting worried...9 we start wondering where our work partner was...we try calling and cannot get anyone... by 11 our lovely PL (who was away for 48 hours for a meeting and her 24 off) and she told us to stay home and just help clean. I WAS SO BORED!! I didn't want to step on the house managers toes and try to help clean, so I just cleaned the basement and laundry room, put things away in the living room, and then I also did laundry...I WAS BORED!!!

Friday we went to work, sprinkler management...sucks so much. But I love working in the sun, and I love working near the birds. I am also really lucky to work with Willie, he is very nice and is always smiling.

Saturday and Sunday we volunteered at the Heritage Acres Antique Farm Show. It was fun, we played with the kids. I got to run the fish pond (EVERY CHILD GOT A PRIZE!) which was fun because I didn't have anyone getting upset. We also had to stop cars at the gate and ask them questions to help with the fair. I hate talking to people, but I actually talked to people...Katimavik is definately helping with my shyness. We went around to all the booths, and I bought an orange cameo necklace, its super pretty:D Willie got swindled by a lovely old lady, she kept buttering him up, calling him adorable and sweet telling him he needed to gain weight because he was so thin. Then she told him to buy her cookies...and he did. Later Saturday night we went to a barn dance. It was fun, there were mostly elderly people there. We danced like fools, it was fun. I had a lot of dance partners, Helena, Jaz, Erin, and Willie. It was fun, an elderly couple tried to teach us how to dance. Apparently the woman works in Fort Mcleod so she is going to try to help us plan more activities there, volunteering and such. We slept in a barn too! It was two stories, horses were below us and we kept hearing them all night. It was nice...I actually loved it. Sterling in the morning started playing the piano, he is truly amazing. I wish I could play that well...then Willie decided he was going to play...HE PLAYED ZELDA!! Made my weekend. I have no idea what we are doing tommarrow, so this could be interesting. Have a great long weekend:D

Waiting List

This is the email that I got:


I couldn't cry, but then everyone kept telling me they were sorry, because they knew how much I wanted this, and such but it just got frustrating hearing everyone say they were sorry for me. I just burst into tears, this was my dream and all of the sudden it disappeared in front of my eyes...

...but then I realized that waiting list still means good things, because as I started to read it seemed that most people from the waiting list do get in, a few times they have to get more people to fill those spots, so cross my fingers maybe my dream isn't as destroyed as I once thought. Lets just hope that it will happen for me:)
