Twin Cities Feile Results

So I know this is a little late, but here are the results from the Twin Cities Feile:

Novice Reel- 2nd place
Prizewinner Slip Jig- NP
Prizewinner Treble Jig- 2nd place
Prizewinner Hornpipe- NP

Not the best feis ever.. But next weekend I have a double feis in Milwaukee: Badger State Feis and Cream City Feis. I will be in Novice Reel, and prizewinner SJ, TJ, and HP. Again. :P I'll have 2 chances to get out of Novice for my reel. Oireachtas isn't looking very promising this year.. Oh well! Hopefully I'll be in PC by the end of the year! But now it's time to just get ready for my up coming feisianna! Wish me luck! :)

Oregon State Championship Feis Results

I had a great time this past weekend in Oregon hanging out with family, making new friends, and competing!
So here are my results:

Novice Reel- 3rd
Novice Slip Jig- 1st
Prizewinner Treble Jig- 3rd
Prizewinner Hornpipe- 1st

So yeah it was a pretty good feis!! :)
I noticed a funny thing about my hornpipe.. I've only done 4 feisianna and ever other feis I do hornpipe and both times I've done hornpipe I got 1st place.. weird.. I don't even really like hornpipe.. but I'm not complaining!! :)

My next feis is the Twin Cities Feile which is on the 18th!
My dances this time will be:

Novice Reel
Prizewinner Slip Jig
Prizewinner Treble Jig

I'm hoping to get 1st in my Reel so I can be all Prizewinner but I only ever seem to get 3rds and 4ths. Probably because Reel is usually the 1st dance of the day so I'm really nervous! So I'll be practicing a lot for that!
And I hope I'll be able to get my new Slip Jig and Treble Jig down so I can compete with them. If not then I'll have to live with doing my old steps.. fingers crossed tho! :)

See you later!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day

A day families young and old come together to mourn, honor, and remember..

the men..

and women..

Family..

and Friends..

Who gave up their lives for our country..

(Thomas Burnett, Flight 93)

A day we thank and respect them for what they have done. They died to protect us. They died for our freedoms. To keep us together as a nation.

A day we thank the ones out there now and the ones to come in the future. The ones who are putting their lives on the line so we can stay protected and free.

We should be proud of these people who come from all walks of life, who serve our country. We should be proud to be Americans.

I know I am.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
