Well...Things have been pretty crazy lately.
This past weekend was the Salmon Arm Fall Fair, which was really fun! A girl from our church, Raquel, won the "People's Choice" award in the Shuswap Idol contest and a guy from the other church we went camping with was also in it. Next year, I'm hoping to be in it as well.
I rode on a ferris wheel for the first time ever (and yes, I screamed) and Darby and I ate a huge bag of cotton candy and we bought fudge and other yummy things. I entered my acrylic painting that my Dad helped me with into the fair but it didn't place. I also entered the collage I used for my album cover and it won FIRST PLACE!!! woot woot!! So I won $6. It will get mailed to me...
My mom was in the hospital with high blood pressure on Friday night. She's fine now but she's on bed rest until the baby's born.
I've started school and if all goes well, I'll be done math, socials and science by the end of November and have the rest of the year to focus on music and art.
So the bad news that's kind of shaken everyone up is that a guy from Bri's work and the ex-husband of Pastor Rueban's daughter, was in a car accident on Monday (I think) and was killed. No one else was involved in the accident but it's just pretty tragic. The funeral was today and Bri's entire plant shut down to go to it. I only met him once breifly but he was pretty nice. So yeah. I mean, there's a car accident out here every day but it's never happened to anyone we knew, so this is kinda crazy. I'm madly praying for their family, especially for his two kids (they go to our church and are really great kids).
So anyways, happy thoughts...I had guitar lessons today. Ryan's teaching me some pretty awesome stuff now. Lots of Nirvana, The Beatles and Kings Of Leon. Very cool.
I'll post pictures soon of fair stuff and whatnot.
SO! Have a good rest of the week and I'll post more soon!
