Long time no blog

Okay so it has been a reeeaallllllllllllly long time since I have posted to my blog but here I am with an update of the lives of the members of the Shoe family. We have been pretty busy with school, soccer, breathing, eating, sleeping, and you know living. School started and everything has gone pretty well. There is nothing to interesting to tell about the school thing. Soccer has been good too. There is also nothing to interesting to tell about that either.
One thing we have done recently was camping with the whole Friesen family over Labor Day weekend. We do this every year and it is so much fun. We just sit around for 3 or 4 days and eat and play games. It really is the best time, as a matter of fact it is such a great time that it is starting to spread to non-Friesen people. We have added a couple people to our group who are not of Friesen descent. That is right the excitement is starting to sweep the nation and soon we may have the whole continent of North America wanting in on what is going on with our AWESOME little family get together. But to those of you who are reading this and are thinking wow I would really like to get in on that you should know that there are very high requirements to get in on this great and wonderful event. These requirements are a family secret kept in a vault and only a very select few are able to acess it and most of those people are dead and the others don't know who they are, so good luck on getting in. Since most of you will not be able to join us because of previously mentioned reasons I would like to let you know about some of the great things that go on during our wonderful weekend. The days go like this. Wake up eat play games eat play games eat swim if it is hot enough eat eat again then eat supper, play games and continue eating until bedtime. It is so great there is also a time when some crazy people go and do a little karaoke and it is usuall pretty funny but this year two of my sisters and two of my cousins sang this song and they were pretty great I think they might be starting thier own group soon, well maybe not but for karaoke and compared to most of what I heard that night they were the best ones. Well enough about the camping thing and on to another subject.
Last night Adam and I went to a Gaither Homecoming concert. It was pretty good and we got to watch the concert in two very different ways. We sat up high for the first part of the concert and for me that was sort of scary because I have this thing about not liking up high places. I just sat back in my seat and tried not to look down. I just watched the screen, also it kind of helped when the lights went down. At intermission Adam called my brother in-law T.J. Wright (he was once a part of a very famous singing group called Four His Glory) and he told us about these two empty seats right behind them. He told us we could come on down and sit there for the rest of the concert. Well I didn't have to be told twice. I was pretty sure that once I left my seat way up high I wasn't going to want to face climbing back down to get to my seat again so I said YES to Adam who was talking to T.J. and started to head towards a much closer to the ground seat. So we were able to watch the rest of the concert from the third row. We went from watching two inch tall people singing on stage to basically being able to see their nose hairs in a matter of minutes. I would say it is pretty great being related to such a famous person who could get us in to such great seats. It was pretty cool to be able to experience the concert from two very different veiwpoints. Well I think I have gone on long enough now so I will quit but hopefully be back to update all of you on what is going on. See Ya
