Catch up
I need to play catch up.
The weekend after California. I was again off for the south this time on a big chartered bus with a bunch of teenagers. Yep, it was Marching band tour.
It was a great experience. We left Thursday afternoon and made it to St. George and spent the night there. (the best part about the trip down was about 30 minutes after patrick dropped me off at the bus he called and asked if he should just drive the car down. And then we remembered that the timing belt needs to be replaced before we go on a long trip. So mom volunteered her car. and the plans were set and then he decided that it just was not worth the money if he was not going to see me very much. Anyway the funny thing was that when i told Jared [timpanogos's band director] he laughed and said that he [patrick] didn't even make it two hours on his own.) in the end patrick did well and was alone with audrey for almost 72 hours. good job babe.
On Friday we had a competition at the State Championships Timpanogos took home the guard caption the visual performance caption and the music caption. We just didn't take home the percussion. And then we took first. It was a great way to end our utah season.
The next day we went to Vegas and competed in a BOA (bands of America) competition. BOA is run a lot different than utah's organization. i won't go into it but the biggest difference is that you are not classes by band size, like in utah, you are classed by school size. Timp is a big school and we were in the biggest class competiting against people with 300 or more students. (go our lowly 27 students) But it was awsome. We saw the best of the best in the south west. Just amazing. The chance to see those bands was worth the trip.
We were the smallest band to compete at BOA and out of 24 bands we took 18th. Hey we didn't come in dead last. I know...Right!
Then then there was Halloween. And yes i have pictures....at mom's. I'll get those up here. But mom and Katherine were the ones to take audrey because Patrick and I spent the evening packing for our move the next day. Yep we moved from the crappy crappy starcrest apartment to an amazingly great place. we are so excited about this. We have been there for 4 days and just love it.
The layout is the exact same but everything is new. (carpet, doors, entire kitchen.) it's just a great place. I'll get some pictures for you. We are not entirly moved in we still have a ton of boxes to go through in our room and audrey's but the living room and kitchen are unpacked and if we want to feel moved in we just shut the doors and the mess goes away.
I think we are caught up now. I am sorry for the readers digest version. I just didn't want the events to keep backing up. but now everyone knows why i have been so busy and have not been about to post much.
Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey :)

The Remainder of California
Oh my goodness so much has happened that i don't think i have enough finger strength to tell you what has happened.
Last i left off on was leaving for California. That Thursday mom and i didn't do too much. I slept a few hours while Audrey napped and then i think we went to the mall to check out bridesmaid dresses. Wohoo what an amazing day. We did do one big errand we went to Joannes and found things to decorate michelles wedding boxes with. I really think we picked something good. Friday was about the same. A nap and some walking around the mall and box making. Saturday we went to johns football game. We only really stayed for the first half of the game because it was way way too hot out and it was audrey's nap time. But mom and i we're very proud that grandma made it out of the house for a little while. And she did really we'll with the walking to and from the football field. Sunday was another day of not much too do. But we did make a trip to the World War II museum out in Camarillo. I always love going out to that museum. It's so fun to see all the planes and the big C-46 "The China Lily."
On Monday we made our way back to utah. this time the plane left at 6:30. and we left on time and made it there right on time. But the funny thing was, and mom and i were so amazed about it, the freeway was jam packed at 5:00 in the morning in L.A. there was no traffic jam, we were at free way the entire time. But it was still odd that there were so many people on the road at that time. Must be all those big time movie stars getting to work early.
All in all it was fun and we had a great trip
Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
