A weekend really????

So the weekend is over. Actually it's been over for a day and a half, and I am still recovering! We did so much! This weekend my sister came down from T.O and so it was a family weekend for sure! We spent Friday with her and hung out at my grandparents. Had a lovley homemade lunch, went for a walk around the lake, dropped Jessie off and I, with a passed out lad in the back parked the car at a nearby park and read. Such bliss the life of a parent with only one child! Then we picked up daddy from work, and headed to the park. I walked over to my vocal coaches house for a quick lesson to prep for my big concert on Sunday. Then we headed home and had a picnic in our courtyard. Jer and I watched the reader which was miles more depressing than I anticipated, and was glad for the amaretto and coke in my hand. Saturday morning was a rush of excitment getting ready for our "weekend ride." Jer and Cole go Biking every week night, as I am either at Tap class, or Choir, or teaching Encore Kids. It's there special time together and they love it. But weekends, if I'm not doing a show or concert, we gear up for big rides. ( I for one am trying my darndest to get into shape, I've got 25 - 30 pounds I could really do without, but Have no time for a gym. And frankly I hate gyms. I would much rather be out in this gorgeous weather with my family. And that we were. My sister and dad and Dave came over at 10am and we all biked from our place all the way to Country Farms market ( the tunnel) We loaded up with fresh veg and fruit, then had some chicken for lunch. And then Jer and I found a vacumn in our price range and half off! Ours broke last weekend. On top of that we got to use our CT money so in the end got a lovley dirt devil that has hella suction regularly priced at 200 for 70 bucks! And we loaded it up in our trailer on the bikes and biked home, first stopping at the park in Steveston for a 2 hour runaround and frozen coffees for mom and dad! Then we headed over to our good friends home, where we signed up for family camp for May long! Then home to bed for COle and Marco and Janet came over and we watched The transporter 2 which was "Lacking" to say the least, neverthless wine was poured and we had delicous nachos and lovley company. Sunday we headed to my moms for a lovley brunch with my grandparents and jess and dave. The I went back with my grandma to take in my "amy wants to learn to sew class" I cut out my first pattern and pinned it, and it's all set for my next class where we will actually sew! YAY! Then Jer and Cole showed up we had a lovley dinner and then took an evening stroll around their lake. Then home, and I worked on my pieces for Sunday, and Jer read his book. It was a lovley weekend. But it brings me one day closer to this upcoming Sunday. I am excited and nervous at the same time. This is a dream I've had for a while about to come true, but of course the nerves get in there and well, as excited as I am, I am also excited for it to be over and all these nerves to be gone. I've been asked to be a guest soloist for a Vancouver City Lights Chorus concert. I am singing 6 solo's in all, 3 with the choir and 3 on my own. It's a wonderful oppurtunity, and a great way to pay down our trip to Hawaii, I'm just nervous! Anyways enjoy the pics and will be back soon!
