A weekend to remember...

...at least I hope it will be. Bobbie-Jo told me that she was interested in going to the CCMA's this year. My first thought was "Oh no", it's not that I think it's a bad idea but it's her going alone. She's never been out west and Edmonton is a big city. I immediately realized how funny this could be, of all the stories she would have of getting lost, meeting strangers and all that. I decided it was a good idea and I should encourage it.

However, my sister informed me that there was an au pair opening near her in Vancouver. I have applied to that position and if I get it I will be out west for the summer. The CCMA's will be Sept. 8-12 and school starts Sept. 7. I will sacrifice 4 days of school to spend a weekend with my best friend listening to country music, Canadian country music!

At Bobbie-Jo's 17th birthday dinner, her cousin and I decided that for her 19th birthday we would take her out to a bar/club and get her a lil tipsy. I was planing on going home for the weekend in October to celebrate her birthday but if we're in Alberta we can celebrate then. The drinking age is 18 there and we could have a lot of fun. We're going to get all dolled up and find a bar with an electronic bull.
