MANHATTAN and SPRING CLEANUPS!

Spring is here and opportunity is in the air! Yay! Nicolai made a trip to Bentley to get his equipment and he has serviced it and is almost ready for spring cleanup season. This means for us early mornings, grass stained clothes, a touch of hayfever and for Nicolai working off a little bit of that winter weight that seems to rear its head every winter! ha! He's excited for that! Mia is continuing with teaching. She has a competition next weekend to sing in on Saturday! Hopefully, her songs get memorized and she's ready. She has also started working at e-children again. One thing she thought she'd never do. Instead of doing the retail this go around she is doing the stock receiving and organizing of the back storage room. She loves this way more, and is feeling way more productive as she begins her shift at 7:00am. It's nice cause she gets to choose her own hours and days, but will more than likely work close to full time there in the summer.

Also, she found out that she's been accepted into the Summer Voice Program at the Manhattan School of Music! It's all of June. 8She's trying to figure out the logistics of how it will work, but is hoping that she'll get to go and it'll be a trial run to see if being apart from her one and only Nicolai is doable.

Plans in the works for this summer:

*Home renovation plans...
*August Recital before leaving for school'
*Proarts recital with Laura Styler-Jones on August 12 at noon

I think that's it for us now!

And there is a snippet...

"I like London, London, London..."

So...Mia is IN! The long and the short of it...She will be doing her Masters of Performance in Voice at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario! YAY!

More details to follow...

Nicolai feels: I feel like we are in the place that God is calling us to. Short separations leads to long lasting victories.

Mia feels: wooooooooo!!!! I feel like this is Lord's doing and let His will be done! And Praise Him for sharing in the desires of our hearts. I can't wait to fulfill my promise to Him many years ago in Australia...to Sing...no matter what...I will Sing!! Call me Levi the Viking! You know if you want to...

The Drosts

today...

Nothing to crazy has happened in the last week. We are 100% our San Fran dreams are no more...but perhaps sometime in the future. There may be a chance Mia will still be going to school in the fall, but yet again the Proverbial Red Light blink furiously infront of our faces. What to do...It really is an amazing life. We couldn't be happier. We went to a flames game with our dear friends Chantelle and Donavan on monday! It was so great. And even though Calgary lost we were still tickled pink with the over the top Calgarian spirit and the thousands painted in red before us. We are loving our time with Chantelle and Donavan! We really do get along with them great, and it is really a match made in heaven! That's all for now! We hope that Jacintha is having a wonderful time in Europe!! MiaNic
