The Most Wonderful Husband in the World

And you thought you had the most wonderful husband in the world. Ha! I bet mine is better than yours. Yesterday was Sunday and Nic and I stayed home from church because we weren't feeling well. We slept pretty much all day. That night my wonderful, caring, thoughtful husband told me that he would do the washing up and that he would cook dinner and that he wanted to draw me a bath so I can relax and feel better. He wouldn't even let me help.

That was just what I needed. I layed in the bath for almost an hour reading Boyd K Packer's book 'Holy Temple'.

We then had dinner, watched Wallace and Gromit and went to bed.

I thank the Lord everyday for putting Nic in my path and for Nic wanting me. I am so incredibly blessed.

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 :-)
