Tuesday

Tuesday was such a good day! It was fundamentalism conference, so we didn't have any classes. We had two sessions in the morning and one at night, but we had the entire afternoon to ourselves. It was perfect, because it was the most beautiful day we've had all year! It was 65 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze...gorgeous. I went out to lunch with Becky, Heath, and Chris, then, when we got back, I decided to walk to the library. On my way, Dan drove by me and shouted my name out his window (dork. lol.), so I called him. He told me that he, Micah, and Sarah were going to Latte Donatte. I asked if I could come too, and he said sure, so I went and hung out with the three of them for a while. It was so nice to just sit and relax and talk with friends. =) Then I went to the library, updated my facebook, checked my email, etc. I didn't even set foot in the practice rooms all day. It was great.
And tomorrow morning I go home!!!! Woot, woot. I cannot wait! I miss my family so much! And my mom is having surgery tomorrow morning (pray for her if you think of it!), so I'll get to play mommy to my mommy all week. =) Have a great spring break, everyone!!

Band Recording #3

On Saturday we had our third and (hopefully!) final band recording session. It was relatively un-eventful, except for when Chris almost got busted for climbing a pole up onto the gym roof. That was quite hilarious, but it's too long a story to tell here. If you're really interested, stop me on the sidewalk sometime and I'll tell you the whole story. LOL.

Anyway, I didn't really get too many pics, but here are some of the ones I got:

Chris goofing off with his mouthpiece.

Krista playing the euphonium...for the last time. Waaaaa! We'll miss you, Krista! The trumpet section is not worthy! LOL.

Katie playing the xylophone.

Chapel Buddies

This is me with Christina Jarvis and Amber Pelesky. I sit with them in chapel every day. The other day we were just feeling the need for a little photo-op. Here are the results. =)

Feelin' crazy.

The other day I was walking up the steps in the student center, and when I looked out the window, I saw this cardinal! It was one of the last really cold days we had, so it was really cool to see a bird at all, let alone a cardinal. It was like a good omen saying, "Spring is almost here! Just hold out a few more weeks!"

On another note, what is it about seeing a cardinal that is so exciting? It's not like they're that rare. I mean, if someone looked out their window and saw an ostrich walking across their lawn, that would be something to get excited about. But a cardinal? I don't know. But I get excited when I see one. =)

Shopping for Triumphant Brass

TheTriumphant Brass girls went shopping again on Saturday. This time we brought David Woolley, Lindsay Fite, and Andrew Artman. Good move on our parts. LOL. They picked out outfits for all of us. It took us seven agonizing hours, but we're done except for polos and jewelry. What a relief. Now we just have to pray that the committee approves everything. LOL.

Some embarrassing moments on our shopping trip:

1) Asking a fellow shopper in H&M about a price on something. She was all, "Uh...I don't work here..." And I was all, "Whoopsie!"

2) Trying to walk in the six-inch heels Andrew made me try on. He was all, "You can do it! I know you can!" Well, pretty much he was wrong. LOL

3) Wandering around H&M wearing a brown and white polka dotted skirt with my neon green polo shirt while Andrew held up shirt after shirt trying to decide if it would go with the skirt while Lindsay and David laughed at me.

4) Getting stopped by one of those guys who want to do your nails and then not being able to understand a word he was saying because of his fake accent.

I'm sure there were more, but I can't remember them. =) Anyway, here are some pics:

Me and Becky waiting while the others looked at shoes.

L to R: Becky, Rebecca, and me. As you can see we decided to coordinate instead of match. We're wearing brown and the guys are gonna have brown suits with white shirts and purple ties. It's gonna look awesome!

Here you can see our skirts better.

And these are our shoes. I'm wearing heels! I never wear heels! I just hope I don't trip trying ot walk onstage. LOL.
