It's a Wonderful Life
What a wonderful break it has been these school holidays. Our first weekend away was just chock-a-block full of people to see. On Saturday night I spent sometime with one of my dear friends and her little girl.
Sunday was a big day, we woke up early to go to my Uncle's ward to hear him and my cousin, a recently returned missionary speak in sacrament meeting which was so lovely. Got to see my Aunty that I haven't seen in a few years and catch up with her.
We had lunch at Nic's Aunt and Uncle's house, a little family reunion before their daughter's wedding on the Monday. It was nice to meet some of his family that I haven't met before.
Sunday night we want to my grandparents place for dinner and to visit with family up from Newcastle who hadn't met Nic before. It was a lovely night being with my family.
Monday was the wedding which was lovely but more importantly I got to spend some time with two of my brothers that just recently moved back to Australia from the US. It was so wonderful to see them and spend time with them. I'm glad that they live closer and hopefully I'll get to see them more regularly.
That night we went out to dinner with my best friend from high school. Now I haven't seen her in a couple of years! It was so great to see her and her family again. She's the type of friend that you can not see for ages then get together as if you'd never been apart. Her mum is just the sweetest woman you will ever meet!
AND that was just the BEGINNING of our holiday :-)

My first Eisteddfod
Wednesday night here in Rockhampton was the Concert Band Eisteddfod. Not only was it my first Eisteddfod conducting my Emmaus band but it was my first time conducting in one ever! I can't begin to explain how nervous I was. I knew the band would sound great and I wasn't worried about them making mistakes. I was worried I would stuff up by going too fast or too slow, lose my place or my score altogether!
As we were setting up on stage I started to nearly freak out lol I really don't like being in front of people. But I'm a teacher, go figure aye. I felt my heart beating out of my chest as the curtain went up. But when the band started playing I just got into the zone. They sounded amazing and I had the biggest smile on my face.
After our first piece I heard a bell ring from the adjudicator's desk and had no idea what it meant, I thought I must have done something wrong! After our section I asked my coworker what that sound was and she said "Oh I forgot about that, it means that their ready for your next song. " So glad that I didn't turn around when I heard or started playing before I heard it! That could have been a right disaster!
When we played our last song I was so excited to turn around and bow because they played amazingly! It was so much fun and I just felt so proud of my kiddos for doing such a fantastic job! Although we didn't get a place we got a great score, 82/100 and first place got 86/100. I couldn't have asked for a better result :-)
