Shuswap Idol

Whooooohoooooo! Sooooo...I won second place in Shuswap Idol! Woot! That's $250! Yay! It was great! I had a lot of fun and I competed against some great singers. I think everyone was deserving of what they won and I'm glad I got to be a part of it this year!
So, on Friday night I sang "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down. On Saturday I sang "Every Little Thing" by Delirious?. And today I sang "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World, which I also sang at the Blue Water Music recital at the beginning of the year. I have videos of all of my performances, so I'll try to get those onto youtube soon.
Anyways, so that was pretty great! Darby won a whole bunch of ribbons with her goats and her photos and stuff, and Preston won some too, I believe.
The whole youth group came out on Friday night to see me play, which was really cool! They were all super supportive.
Sooo now I can breathe easy and play songs other than the ones I performed and...yeah! Yay! That was great!
Talk to you soonly!

SEP tember

Sooooooooooooooooooo...September is here! Gah! That sucks. September means school officially starts...icky. And that summer's over...icky x2.
Sooo...Kyle started school today, and he had a pretty good time, which was cool.
Anyways...my summer consisted of teaching swimming lessons, reading books, facebooking, performing...um...eating... and now it's over. Which means that I have to start a ton of courses so I can graduate this year. Hooooorrah.
And the news of the day is that I made Shuswap Idol! Gah! Auditions were yesterday, and there were some very good singers...and then I kinda sucked because I hadn't completely memorized the chords to the song, so I missed a few...so I wasn't very confident that I would make it...but I did! GAH! Soooo...I play one song on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair, and then I could win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (or nothing!) or possibly the "People's Choice" award, which is the person that the audience voted for the most. Sooo...that should be cool!
Aaaand...now I have to go get some psychology work done. Hip hip horray.
I'll post the results of Idol some time next week...have a good weekend!
