Hello! Sorry I haven't blogged in a long time... I've been quite busy, with rehearsing and school and such. This is my last week of school until I actually get my Christmas break. I'm so ready for it now! But I still have a bit of work to do before Thursday.
An update about my music and the performance on the 19th.... It went excellent! I was also on the worship team with Trevor, which was great! It's such a blessing to work with him. I managed to finish my song in time too, so it turned out great =). I got to play my song on Trevor's guitar too =), it was neat, I've never played a guitar like that before, and it makes me want a new guitar SO bad! The whole thing was great! It was cool though because when Trevor said "only 2 more minutes until we go on", I had a rush, and I felt like I was doing an actual show =P. The band and I waited behind the curtain and when it was show time, we had to go go go =P. It was pretty great! My song..... I think everyone loved it, I got a lot of positive feedback after the service, and guess what?! Only like 2 hours or so afterwards, I was asked to play it again at the Christmas Eve service! HAHA! I can't believe this! =P
This month has been super busy though, so I apologize again for not posting sooner. On the 3rd-4th, my mom was having a fundraiser, I can't remember if I mentioned it in the last post, but anyways. Yeah, it was great =)! We had a great time! And we made a lot of great friends whom I hope will be present in my life for a very long time. It is cool because we get to spend New Year's with them too! The two boys, just they way they treated us, and how kind and wonderful their parents are, made me realize what type of family -if I ever do- I would want to be married into.
But anyways, I've wasted a lot of time =P, I need to get back to school! I'll try to post again soon.
God Bless! <3

Good Days, Bad Days......Life goes on..
Hello! Well, I've been having good days, and others not so good.
You remember me telling you about the 19th of Dec.? Well, things changed, I'm not performing that song anymore because my accompanyist had cancelled on me because her son's health. But I'm still performing on the 19th. =) the only thing is that, because it is difficult to find anyone to do the other song I was going to do with me, I decided I should just write a Christmas song to perform. It's coming along alright =), I got a verse and the chorus, and the guitar strum/picking patterns. But I can't seem to get another verse just yet..... I want this song to be from God, I don't want to write it myself, because Jesus's birth is a huge deal and I want it to sound as important as it is. If you know what I mean.
My personal feelings right now... I'm not sure if I'm just emotional at the moment, but I feel like I'm losing my best friends... I don't know what I would have done if I am, but they are all usually pretty busy. I feel kind of like, I'm not wanted anywhere. Or everyone is mad at me for some reason, I do not know.
For something not so depressing... Tonight and tomorrow night, my siblings and my parents, and a bunch of other families are going to be doing this fund raiser thingy, for my mom and the other ladies who are raising money for their missions trip coming up in a few months. It should be fun =). We get to dress up all fancy, and serve desert and beverages and all that good stuff =). Anyways, I should get some work done. I have to leave in a few hours.
God Bless! <3

My Week and Weekend!
Hello my friends! =) Life been treating you well?
I think one thing I forgot to mension on my last post was that, I GOT ANOTHER GIG! I was asked on Wednesday to perform another song, a Christmas song this time, on the 19th of Dec., and I got my piano/vocal teacher to agree to accompany me! =D She's an AMAZING musician... I'm am jealous of her voice =P... But anyways, yeah! I'll be sure to let you know how it goes, when the time comes! =)
This weekend, my sisters and I stayed at our grandparents' house, it was nice! Very relaxing as well! We kind of just relaxed on Friday night because we got there a little late, and went to bed rather late, but had LOTS of snow! I was freezing! The bedroom I usually sleep in when I stay over has a bit of a draft, so it gets quite cold in there, thank goodness for super com but on Saturday, we helped our grandparents' set up their Christmas decorations.... It brings back a lot of memories =), it is kind of a tradition we have, sleeping over there for a few days to help set up their Christmas decorations =). We made a silly mistake this year though =P, we tried setting up the tree upside down =P, HAHA, silly silly! We had hte middle piece upside down, and we thought we were missing a piece, so my grandpa (we call him Papa) got creative with wood and tried to fit the tree together and eventually he said "Katie, can I see the other piece?", so I show him it, and he was like "we are all stupid!", HAHA, figured out we had it upside down =P. It was fun though! My little cousin Dallan even came to help us out, for a 6 year old, he is VERY smart and has a great vocabulary. We had fun with him, its makes it even more fun now that he can actually have a conversation with us, and we don't exactly have to talk in a baby voice =P, HAHA. Later, after dinner, we just sat around, some of us worked on homework, and at 9:00 my grandma, my sisters, and I watched a murder mystery on BBC, I can't remember what it was called though. HAHA, creeped some of us out a bit =P, but it was fun! Nanny and Papa have the most comfortable beds and bedding ever! =P (Nanny even gave me one of their pillows because I love them so much =P! YAY, NEW PILLOW! =D).
Today, we slept in till 10 or so =P. Nanny made us french toast and made us eat so much I thought I would explode! =P Afterwards, we got dressed, did make up and such.. Nanny gave me her pleather jacket, I thought I looked a little goofy in it, because it was a little too big for me. But hey, whatever! It sure kept me warm! We walked down to the market and got some stuff for lunch and dinner. HAHA, gave my little sister, Mady some snow to her face =P, and then she got my in the back of the head.... But it was all fun! =P She even managed to get a big clump of snow in the bag I was carrying too =P. Then we eventually got back, we did a little bit of homework, and my grandma had lunch ready. We enjoyed that, and then she got us to sit downstairs while she cleaned up and vaccuumed the house a bit. We worked on more homework, then my mom showed up, they talked for a bit, while I worked on my homework in the basement. Once dinner was ready, I stopped but man IT WAS A FEAST! =D We had a roast and homemade dumplings, think she stuffed us too full again =P. It was great though! Then we sat in the living room and drank tea and talked =).
One of my most favourite families in the whole wide world had a new baby! Little (this isn't part of her name, but I thought I'd add it in =P), Norma Darby =). I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER! My new little sister in Christ =P!
Anyways, I better go.. I think my siblings are waiting for me to go downstairs and watch Heartland with them =P. I hope you all had a great week/weekend as well!
God Bless! <3

Update...
Hey Yo! Sorry! I know it's been a while since I last posted.. HAH, actually it was only a week ago, but it feels longer than that =P.. I'm just posting while I'm waiting for my younger sister to finish her essay, then I get to sleep! =P I know this is random, but I just finished watching the live Peter Pan movie =P, I think it's pretty great, I just missed a couple of scenes because some of the Youtube videos were weird or out of order, so yeah. Anyways, some updates...
I GOT THE RECORDING! =D YE HA! HAH, it was fun! I got a rough copy of it, but he said he is gonna fix it up a bit for me.. And I've already asked him to make me a chipmunk version of the recording =P. It should be pretty great!
Then the performance for Colin's appreciation night =P... I was SO nervious waiting at home till it was time to leave, I felt really sick, I'm not even gonna give you the details =P. Anyways, I got there, decided to make sure my guitar was tuned.... =S One of the strings was out majorly! I was panicing, and guess who showed up?! LUKEY! I couldn't believe they actually showed up! =O =D Especially since I talked to them over chat only a few hours before I was supposed to leave, the whole time believing they weren't showing up, and then Luke and Jesse show up =D! Man I love those guys! =P They sure know how to surprise a girl! I think that's the best I've ever performed that song =P, HAHA, and everyone loved it! The silly part about it was that, I was so comfortable being up there again =P, HAHA, even though there were so many more people than last time... That's the funny part about it, I get so nervious waiting, but once I get up on stage, I'm so comfortable... I think it might have to do with the fact that I know everyone in the room is supporting me and they want me to succeed =). Also, I make sure I let God take the song the way he wants it to, it helps a lot! =P
Then for some more personal things... School!
School it going pretty good this year... I'm managing to keep up, and I'm definitely doing better than last year... The only thing is that I'm starting to stress again, I mean, I know I get the work done, its just the amount of work given for a certain amount of time is ridiculous! 2 chapters of Socials for one Module!?! I barely have enough time to read one! And I have a whole Module due on Friday, and since I was trying to get the last quiz in (which took me longer than I hoped) I didn't leave myself time to work on this module... I'm seeing if my teacher will give me some time next week too, but I'm going to try my best to get in what I can this week. Then math... Almost to the point of hating it.. I mean, it's not THAT bad, but I was supposed to be finished the section I'm working on right now, last month! But that was my principle's schedule for us, so techniquely I'm not behind... But the fact that I'm supposed to be following her schedule does! And I'm getting really anxious about getting it done! I was hoping to get it done last week, but I couldn't get enough help! I can never get enough help in time! I'm having a v-class with my math teacher tomorrow, but still! I just hope I can get this section done no later than this week... I really need to start the next module! Science, I'm not behind, I'm just everywhere with it =P.. I mean, I've done assignments that are supposed to be done this month, there are just a few left, but there are tests............That's what I'm worried about, the tests are worth 50% of my grade! I didn't know that till a few days ago! I'm getting a 70% in the course because of it! So now I need to figure out a way to study for the tests better, it seems none of my ways of studying are doing me any good.. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!
Anyways...Sorry if my last paragraph stressed you out! =/ I tend to do that to some people when I talk about school. I think I should go to bed now, it's almost 12:20 and I got work tomorrow morning, then I am going for coffee with my friend (middle school youth pastor) Megan a few hours after work is over, so I better get some sleep =P. I'll try to post again soon, and hopefully it won't be as stressful next time =P, and not so late at night (or should I say in the morning =P).
God Bless! <3

P.S. I apologize for any spelling errors or anything like that... I don't have my contact lenses in, so I can't see very well =P. Also, its late, so my brain in starting to turn on for the night =P.

More music!
HEY HEY! Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks... I've been pretty busy, probably too busy for my own good =P... I barely even had enough time to get assignments in. Anyways, some good news =D!
First.. I'm recording "Time Goes By" with one of the youth sponsors this coming Saturday night! =D Can't wait for that! He said he might ask his brother if he could borrow his studio, but even if we can't he said he has the same equipment at his place, so we will probably end up doing it at his house. So YAY! =D
Second, today the middle school youth pastor asked me to play the song again next Sunday, at the goodbye thing we are doing for Colin. Which I have weird feelings about. I know I want to do it, but I don't know...I'm not exactly sure how I am supposed to feel about it, I mean, I'm kind of excited, the pastor said there will be about 100 people there, but I really don't know how I feel about it! YIKES AND YAYS! =S =) I think it should be good though!
One bad news... Today, the head pastor of our church, he resigned from his position at our church. I couldn't believe it! Pretty much the whole church was crying, there has been way to much change going on there, and it's quite overwelming. But I think it might be a good change, our church has grown spiritually, and I think some change might be good for that reason. It is definitely hard, but I think as a church, we can help each other get through the hard patches. I wonder what plans God has in store for out church, and I know His plans are always good...... Just can't imagine what it is going to be like. But anyways, I got to get studying in before I have to go to bed, I'll try to post again sometime, hopefully soon, and I'll make sure to give you an update on how the recording, and the performance next Sunday goes =).
God Bless! <3

Term 1!
ahh, so the end of term one is in only 2 days! YIKES! I'm actually kind a stressed out about it, I know I can get everything done in time, and I usually do, but just the fact that I have a certain amount of stuff to get finished in 2 days is really freaking me out! So many things to think about, and since today I didn't get the chance to do this Bio 11 lab, whether it is rain or shine, I'm gonna be doing the lab outside, which will really suck if it is raining, and hopefully I won't get sicker!
Yes.... I have a bit of a cold at the moment, it started one Sunday/Monday, so I hope it goes away before the weekend, I need and want to be able to sing without sounding retarded! I have a bit of a stuffed up nose, HAHA, so if it doesn't go away by the weekend, I'm going to be singing with a very nasally tone =P.
BIG NEWS! =D I actually contacted the youth sponsor that offered to help me record! We planning to record the song sometime soon, maybe next weekend or something! And the best part....... HE'S GONNA SEE IF WE CAN USE HIS BROTHER'S RECORDING STUDIO! =D AN ACTUAL RECORDING STUDIO!!!!!! How great is that?! =D I'm excited, but a little nervious about how it will sound! I hope it will go well. I've been feeling lately that maybe I'm supposed to be taking this road... I mean, I'm still interested in studying and training to be a animal physiotherapist! But it's only an idea, and the doors for a music career are kind of opening up for me. Like 2 years ago, I couldn't write songs or anything... Then I learned guitar, got better at piano, and started taking vocal lessons... Now I'm writting songs, being creative with the guitar and piano, and letting myself try different things with my voice..... People actually LIKE my music too! I wrote and performed a song for my old youth pastor (who had resigned), but played if for the whole youth group! It's amazing! Before, I was terrified of being up there, I still get nervious of course! But once I get on the stage and see all the people who want me to succeed and are cheering me on, I just feel so comfortable and just start to enjoy myself! But I don't know! And now I'm going to be record a song, MY song! A song I wrote! IT'S INCREDIBLE! I never ever ever, thought this would ever happen to me, it was all in my imagination. Also I already decided that if I do that this music as a career, and if that is what I am meant to do... I want to be one of those artists who do it for the fun of it, and play for Jesus! I don't want it to be all about me, and I don't want fame! God is the reason this is all happening for me, I wouldn't even be here in my life if it wasn't for Him! So why in the world would I give the credit to myself?
But anyways... It's getting late, and I still have to get some more of these notes done, I'll try to blog soon! I hope you all have a great week/weekend! =) And take it easy with school =P, it will all fall into place, just work your hardest and do your best! That's all you can do! =)
God Bless! <3

Youth night!
So tonight went a lot better than I had thought it would! It was sad seeing Colin say goodbye to everyone, after so many years with his highschool students, and now he's leaving. But I played Colin the song, he loved it! =D Actually everyone loved it! I got the loudest applause I have ever gotten ever in my whole life! One of the youth leaders even offered to help me record the song! =O It was absolutely incredible! It was funny though, during the second verse (I sort of made it funny), so everyone started laughing, including me, I couldn't stop laughing for a few seconds =P.
After everyone finished their speeches and such, we went back to Fusion and gave a toast to Colin with his favourite drink (coke, not pepsi because to him it tastes like dirt =P) and his family. Also, we gathered around and prayed for him and his family as they start their lives on a new path. There was lots of tears, and macara running (mostly from Sarah =P), but it was all good! I even gave the music/lyrics for the song to Colin, just so he has it =). But I really am going to miss Colin, I can't imagine Velocity without him! It is definitely not going to be the same without him there. I just hope we will find another great youth pastor, even though nobody can replace Colin. Here are the lyrics to my song I wrote for him:
Chorus
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember
Verse 2
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember

Time Goes By
verse 1
School’s in summer’s gone
Our pastor came along
And what a surprise it was to hear
After 10 whole years
That he had resigned
What a flash before my eyes
I never thought this would come to be
Chorus
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember
That we will always love you
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember
We will miss you
Verse 2
It will not be the same
But I guess that’s ok
We have four leaders to take your place
But I don’t mean that in a mean way
I know they will do great
Chorus
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember
That we will always love you
That’s alright
Time goes by
But wherever God may lead you
Please remember
We will miss you
Anyways, I better go!
God Bless! <3

HE YA! =P
Hey, sorry for the dorky title, I just didn't know what to call this one =P..
Thanksgiving was pretty great! How about yours? The weekend was mostly relaxing, and then Thanksgiving day, my younger sister and I went and played our youth's yearly Thanksgiving Football game. It was, different this year.. I was originally going to play the full contact game, but the other "fun" game decided they wanted me in that game, so I played with them for most of the time.. I managed to catch the ball once, but failed to get a touch down, and then when I was about to catch it another time, I miss judged how high it was, so I ended up catching it with my face =P. I had no bruise though! =D Later, I did play a bit of the full contact, but nothing interesting happened. =P
This week has been good is some ways... I have managed to write 2 songs this week! RECORD! The only bad thing about it is that I haven't been getting as much school as I would like one, but I'm hoping to make it up today. Anyways, I wrote a song yesterday, because our Highschool pastor is resigning, which is really sad, so I thought I'd write a song. So now, I am going to be playing it at youth tonight! =D I'm a little nervious about it, but I'm excited at the same time! I just hope everything goes smoothly, please pray for me! =)
Anyways, that's my exciting news so far, I'll for sure be letting you know how it went! =) In the mean time, I'm gonna get back to school. Hope you all have a great week! Or weekend =P..
God Bless! <3

Thanksgiving!
I just wanted to wish everybody an amazing Thanksgiving! =) I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with special memories, thankfulness, and blessings! Lets try to remember why we celebrate it too, it's not because the of turkey on the table, but everyone coming together to celebrate what we are thankful for! Here are some things I'm most thankful for!
1. I'm thankful for my amazing friends/siblings in Christ Kevin, Megan, Lukey, Jesse, Rachel, Dale, Frank, Elijah, Kaitlyn, and Hayley. I couldn't be more thankful for God bringing them into my life! They are absolutely the most amazing siblings in Christ ever! Some of them, such as Hayley, Rachel, Jesse, and Lukey, I don't think there is anything I could do or say that would describe how thankful I am to have them in my life! Lukey even sacrificed some of his time during school hours to e-mail me or something when I was having a horrible day, or was disappointed because I was rejected by some cows! Jesse, I've never met anyone like you before! =P You are truly an inspiration, and special! I had the bestest time hanging out with you in Tulameen =), I don't think I've ever smiled as much around anyone before. Hayley, I'm so thankful you are in my life! I love how we can talk about anything at all, even if it is really embarrassing or stupid, we can still talk about it =), love you girly! =) Rachel.... Well, what can I say? =P Your incredible! Your my big sissy! =D I always have a great time when I'm around you! =) (must be a Darby thing!) =P I love you all SOOOOO much! I can't even describe to you how much I love you all!
2. my family, mom, dad, Sarah, Mady, William, Chico (my chinchilla), Nanny, Papa, Dallan, Ryan, auntie Candice, uncle Rick, uncle Mark, Aunty Ruth, Uncle Al, Brian, Stephanie. Also, my family from my dad's side as well =). I love you all so much! =)
3. I'm thankful that I Jesus died for me, and that He is always by my side and is a loyal friend. My Father in heaven, He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! He loves me even when I don't deserve it! There is nothing in life that I could do for Jesus that would be enough compared to what He did for me! I LOVE YOU LORD! =D
4. I'm thankful that I have been blessed in a warm place to live, the clothes on my back, my education (even though it can be stressful at times), and having a job to feed my little chinchilla =).
Those are my 4 main things I'm thankful for =)! I hope you all have an incredible Thanksgiving! =)
God Bless! <3

New Blog!
Hi! I'm Kat, or Katie, whatever you choose to call me =)! This is a new blog! I've had other blogs, but eventually, I decided that it's time I started a new one. I was originally with Home School Blogger, but they made their site quite confusing and fussy now.
Some things about me.... I'm 15, turning 16 in 3 months! Um, I'm a Christian! I love my Father in heaven and saviour Jesus Christ with all my heart! I'm home schooled! I have 3 biological siblings, an older sister and a younger sister and a younger brother. But I have a lot of in Christ siblings, it would probably take me a while to name them all =P, but they are all SO incredibly great, I couldn't ask for better siblings, both in Christ and biologically =P!
I'm a musician, I play piano, guitar, and I sing! I'm even on my youth worship team, which I enjoy SO much! Some of my favourite artists are the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Lights, and some others, I just can't think of them at the moment =P.
Some things you might like to know about my blog, I may not post alot, I can be quite busy! So there might be large breaks in between each post, and I mean LARGE breaks. But I'll try my best to post every now and then! Anyways, better get some school done!
God Bless! <3
