Wow, it's been a while! So much has been happening I feel like I am constantly running around.
So here a few updates from the crazy few weeks
Zach and Courtney got hitched!
My great friend Zach got married to his sweetheart Courtney on the 16th of February. I have known Zach since first moving to Calgary and he threw a dodgeball at my head. Jerk. Then I found out he was my visiting teacher too - I was not thirlled, but an amazing friendship came from that and I love that I can call him one of my best friends. Courtney is so sweet and loves Zach more than anyone I know. She looked stunning and he was a handome man too! Congratulations to you both :)
At the beginning of March I went down to Utah where I stayed with my wonderful friend Jessica. I was in Utah for EFY training and I flew with my Co-Coordinator Scott. Lets just say that amazing memories were made. From possibly one of the most crazy, spontaneous romantic evening - which sadly, was just all it will ever be, to figuring out how the new and improved EFY is going to be run this year.
Want details about the crazy, spontaneous romantic evening- thats not coming for free, you will have to take the time to speak to me :)
However for the EFY news- that comes free :)
Well, lets just say that EFY is going back to what makes it great. We are getting things back that were lost in the mix over the past few years here in Calgary- from the EFY Medley being back (seriously makes me cry every year the youth sing it) to it being a sleepover session instead of a stay at home :) bring on the party!!! Not only will there be dances, variety shows, games nights, A GAME SHOW! BOOOOOM! There will be so much more. Mind=Blown! I honestly can't wait for training again in May where I will get to be with my team and be able to help with the first session of EFY in Utah - something I never get to do :)
On March 15th was the X-Factor I had talked about in earlier posts.
Talk about a week of no sleep. I was so stressed over making it a success, and one thing after enough went wrong. I feel it's time for a story. For any who read my Facebook status that day could clearly see I was slowly going crazy, but wait till you hear this. Are you sitting comfortably? Good.
So Friday was the X-Factor : Fish vs. Spruce day. It consisted of me waking up right at 8:00am due to a text from my friend and partner in crime for the night Ben Lacusta. I started the day off like any other normal stressed person. Showering while going through my to-do list. Getting my hair and make up sorted while baking banana muffins. Running out the door to go pick up supplies on time while trying to scoff down one of the muffins -this girl needs her food!
So after getting the labels printed, the Golden duck award (Yes, it was a solid gold duck, you know you want it too ) It was now time to pick up the pop.
So I head on over to my local Real Canadian Superstore where I pickup enough pop to makes ones teeth fall out, and head to the check out. Bad idea. Should have browsed for a bit at least.
While standing in line there is this couple in front of me. Only appearded about 24-25 years old. The lady of the couple didn't look so well, very pale and I could tell she was sick by the pure fact she was barfing into a bag every 30 seconds. Now why I didn't think to turn and leave I don't know. All I know is I wanted to get the pop paid for and go finish my errands. The girlfriend kept turing to her boyfriend and this is pretty much how their converstation went.
"Babe, I really gotta leave" *Barf*
"I know babe but lets just pay for this and then we'll go"
"Ugh, I really don't feel well"
"Almost done baby, almost done"
At this point the girlfriend decided to squat down and continue to barf into her bag. BIG MISTAKE. While she puked, I noticed the butt clence...then her hand grabbed her butt....then a smell came...OH MY GOSH THE SMELL!! Talk about strong, eye watering, nostril burning stench. This poor woman. She stood up..turned to her boyfriend "Babe we gotta go now" The boyfriend then looked at her, eyes widened as his nostrils flared "Yup, yup we gotta go" He proceeded to grab their purchase and run out the door. She placed her hands over her butt and waddled out the store.
I was shocked. DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN? I proceed to move forward to the cashier who turns to me, wide eyed "Did that just happen?" she asked me. All I could do was nodd "Yup, yes it did" Awkward silence the rest of my transaction.
Needless to say I took another shower when I got home.
Then of course the X Factor : Fish vs. Spruce happened. I wanna thank EVERYONE who came help set up, be a part of the show, clean up and of course everyone who came to watch! Made the past 3 months of planning worth it! Check out some photos from our amazing photographer Sarah from Neu Image Photography
Oh and then last but not least. I won a Photography Award for Best Photo in a contest I entered. Yay!
Thats my busy few weeks. Coming up is another trip down to Utah - this time for conference :) Some great training with work and EFY interviews!
Oh one last thing! BOOKED A HOLIDAY! Me, Allie and Britney are going to SAN FRANCISCO in August! Right after EFY! I am soooo excited for a holiday with theses two gals! Plus- it'll be needed after my busy busy summer :)
-Stay Beautiful xoxo
