Hold me to this thing, darling.

Sorry, I'm alive... and semi well. I have had a bad cold for a week and I have been off work and no play so there wasn't much to blog about. I didn't even blog about my adventures to London! Here I go:

Things are going well! I am making enough money to survive which is always a plus. I worry for August but I have to tell myself that this is my life and I am meant to enjoy it! So I will!

London: first time. It was great! I loved it! I think I would love it even more if I wasn't starting to feel sick so I am going to have my official first visit another time. I saw Big Ben and Westminster Abbey! Of course we spent most of our day at the Canada Day party which was on of the BEST celebrations of my country I have ever had. I ate a Boston Cream doughnut which was AMAZING. Drank (a bit too much) cider, ate poutine, danced around, met a man on the stairs from England, a wife and daughter from Africa and we started to have a chat with him! We told him we were from Canada then Nova Scotia. And he said "how funny! I lived in NS, in a small town called WOLFVILLE." No jokes. We talked about my lovely Wolfville for a bit and the rest of the Valley. I bonded with his young daughter and decided to give her one of my maple leaf pins that Papa gave me before I left. I had two so I thought it was best to pass on the love. She enjoyed it and I would like to think in 10 years she will come across it and wonder what ever happened to that young Canadian girl who gave her the maple leaf pin.

Then came Sarah Harmer time. I was right up front where I told Brenna days before even getting there that I would stand right up there by the stage and sing my heart out. I sang and then all of a sudden I started to cry. I think it was overwhelming to have my favorite Sarah Harmer there, Morgan by my side, Brenna by my side and on top of it all I was in London. That's enough to make a girl cry.

So now I am sick and trying to get better. I think I will be better by Monday and maybe get a full week of work! (Here's hoping). Not only am I sick-sick but I am campsick. I won't talk about it much because it breaks my heart. Mainly Concert Band camp which is next week. In all honesty I want them to miss me. Is that silly? I just want to feel like I contributed something to them. Silly.

Hope all is well!! Send me letters!!

PS: Julie! I finished the Book of Awesome this morning. It was awesome like you.
