AVALANCHE!!!






Okay...so Avalanche was AWESOME! It was soooo cool! It was so incredible! There were like...at least 500 people there (probably more) and we were all having so much fun! Got to see some cool bands I'd never heard of: Jason Upton and EveryOther Band. We hung out in between concerts and speakers. It was sooo fun! We got to go to the mall (which is pretty darn big for out here) and we ate nothing but fast food for three days and we showered at the rec centre because we were billeting and we ran through random feilds and traded sweaters and stayed up til like...three in the morning for two nights. So yeah! It was awesome! I got to know more people from the youth group (which was awesome because they're all so cool) and we learned some British slang ( ;) hee hee!) and...we went to some cool workshops and skipped out on one of the concerts to go get iced capps and through leaves at each other and then we went to the late concert and drove back to the house (falling asleep on the way :P) and then we talked about nothing in particular until we couldn't hold our eyes open anymore! FUN! So yeah! Jessica and Amanda (my new friends) are insane and we were so crazy at the concerts! And then at the late concert we were like right at the front and when they started to play some good songs we were all jumping around like idiots with "the guys" (Brendan, Ty, Preston, Travis and Marshall) and the concert ended just as we were about to pass out from being soooo tired. We also ran around in fields and stumbled across an abandoned hobo-pad thing. It was weird. But hilarious and then we walked back and Brendan was wearing my Fender sweater so I stole his and then we were all throwing leafy things at each other and um...it was fun! So yeah! I'm gonna stop there for tonight because um...otherwise it'll take you a few hours to read! So yeah...all for now!

Avalanche

Hi! So today I'm going to Avalanche (the HUGE youth conference in Kelowna) with our youth group (23 of us!!) and we're gonna be gone until Sunday evening. WOOT WOOT! It should be ultra-fun! So yeah! I'm bringing the "digi-cam" so that I can take so cool pics! You can see my friends :)
In other news...an unexpected scenario has brought itself up in our family recently and I have now been granted permission to tell of this event. My mother is pregnant... :) I was a bit bummed at first but, I'm getting used to the idea now and I'm kind of excited now. And it's a BOY!!! YAY! I was hoping for a boy! That makes rooming situations much easier. He can bunk with Kyle when he's older :) So...everything's changing out here. It's kind of crazy.
On the school front, I'm kind of behind in everything but I'm working like mad to try to finish by June 15th.
Facebook is soooooo addictive. I've found people on there that I haven't seen in over 3 years! And the groups thing...I'm in over 40 groups...because it's fun. I am, however, disappointed with some of the STUPID rules. Like, you get punished for having a fake name! What the $&#*%@!! That's soooo dumb. I'm forever going to be "Commander Kristen". Gr...And then you can only change your network twice and then you have to wait 60 days. So now I have to wait until the end of June to join the Kelowna network. Ugh...But it's cool. And I like that no onw can see your profile unless they're your friend. Um...yeah...so I'm gonna go now before I can't stop myself from talking about nothing. I'll be back in a few days!!!
