waiting. it could be one of the most painful things in life. and it doesn't help when you're impatient like i am.
1) im stuck at home....and it's snowing.
2) this wouldn't be so bad...except for the fact that it is just me and kellen..and he's been playing computer games all day.
3) i thought i was going to watch the producers with josh and/or michael but have no word on what happened with them.
4) im "patiently" awaiting the call/email/some form of communication letting me know that things are moving along with zoe...but right now...waiting
5) it's 2 days before easter.....and SNOWING! geez louise. we're getting a whole lot of snow. and of course it's the year we DON'T go to FL. oh well
6) still waiting...and probably will be all day.


anyways. while i wait.
tour was AMAZING. despite the fact that many people were sick: i.e. throwing up, fainting.....etc. i took so many pictures and had tons of fun talking to mr. staub and timmy and abeni. and isabel. it was really fun. we went up over 12,000 feet to pike's peak. and then we stopped at the garden of the gods. the first day...on wednesday..it was 65 out! we were all really excited in our t-shirts and all. wednesday was a driving day...and listening to isabel talk for about 2 hours straight at 630 in the morning. yeah. i think mr. staub was just a little annoyed at her... hhaha. it's ok. then we played this cool game call imaginiff. it was mr. staub, abeni, me, timmy, isabel and mr. z...we all were laughing really hard at the different cards. then we had our first concert. it was our best one...and the one where we had all our choir members..
thursday was a driving day...we drove across NE and then to CO...it was soo pretty to finally see the mountains. you could tell we were tourists cause every person had a camera out and if the flashes were on....you would probably be blinded by the light. by thursday night we got to the hotel..and pat was sick. later inn the night we found out derek was also sick. so they shared a roomand their tour partner's were kicked out for the remainder of the evening. tom, jenna, timmy and i all watched most of the italian job..but mostly we ended up talking about a lot of stuff. it was a really nice time with them. then on friday morning we were all up and ready to go only to find out that our bus was not starting. :( we were all running around like chickens who've had their heads cut off. noone knew exactly what to do..but we finally got another bus with a new driver so that we could still go to pike's peak. before pike's peak we went to the garden of the gods. and even though we only had about 45 minutes to walk around we sure made use of those few minutes. it was soo beautiful.and it was snowing making all the pictures that were being taken even more beautiful. after our short walk we headed to pike's peak. i was really excited. we got on the train. and isabel, timmy, mr. staub, dana and meagan and i all sat in the booth by each other...it was really cool. we talked the whole way up and admired the view together. it was soo pretty . you could see for miles. and the clouds were low over the lower mountains. it was amazing. then we drove to the next church not too far from pike's peak. and when we got to our new church we saw our BUS! we were excited to see Dick-the driver..and our bus. we unloaded and got ready for our concert. before the concert. tom didnt really feel well so he sat out with derek and they hungout . when it was time for the chamber choir to sing pat started to faint. and actually did....freaking many -if not all-- our members out. mr. staub thankfully caught pat before he actually fell. then we all went to our host family's houses. ours was SOO sweet. i guess mrs. staub was in her daughter's wedding and the daughter was in the staub's wedding. so she was really nice. then the next day we drove to NE. and isabel got sick...oh yeah courtney got sick friday too. so on saturday night we sang without amanda wolf, michael, and nikki i think ...it was interesting. then my group stayed at a B&B. that was intersting....kinda gross actually.

finally on sunday we all went home...but not before...mat also got sick.
we were all very thankful to be home and well rested...FINALLY.

now we're just waiting for what happens next...while i wait some more..i think it's time to go shovel the snow. grrr.

love
