Swing back into things

Not much has been going on since last time.  We have just been getting back into the swing of things. Søren started school again and now has officially less than 1 year left! He is studying Music this year so he is having a lot of fun playing music in class and having to practice piano as "homework".  What a nice way to end this 4 year journey!

We held a bachelor/bachelorette party for our friends Janni and Thorkild a few weekends back. Søren was in charge of planning Thorkild's party and it all went so well.  It was a whole day event where the men and women were split up.  Us girls, started out waking Janni up and putting her on a motorcycle ride, then we had brunch and got ready for a dance class - Zumba!  Afterwards we went to a practice area for drivers-ed.  Janni then drove us all around in a big bus through slippery water and had to practice breaking.  It was pretty scary, the whole bus spun around one time and at that point I had had enough and watched the rest of the time! Finally we ended up back with the boys and had a lesson in performing stunts.  The whole room was filled with couples yelling and pretending to hit each other, it was a riot! In the end we shot a video of a litttle story where Thorkild got shot by Janni in the end! The boys also had a fun day BMX bike racing and playing Soccer Golf where Søren was the overall winner!!!  A great day!

We also had a very fun day at work 2 weeks ago.  We had an entire day where all the students learned and sang Gospel songs! We had hired a man from Copenhagen to come and direct them for the day.  We would say it was a success, even if there were some boys who looked BORED + BORED.  In the end they learned 5 songs which they performed for their parents and Family Day the following weekend!

I have also gotten into the full swing of things again with Show Choir.  Singing or dancing twice a week keeps me preoccupied from stressing out at school and that is wonderful!  We are working towards a big show in January and I can't wait.  I already know I have quite a few lines and at least 1 solo!  Also I started taking voice lessons this year, for myself.  Personally I've always wanted to continue developing my voice, and now that I am directing choir and teaching voice lessons myself, I decided it was the perfect time. The school is paying for the lessons so I just have to use my time and a little gas money, not a bad deal!

This past weekend Thorkild and Janni got married and we had a wonderful day with them. We were able to sit at their table so we really felt like we were a part of their big day! Congratulations!
