Frozen






We have our last band thing for a few weeks saturday so Mr. Mensch called rehearsals starting at 7:30 all week + 2 days from last week. Guess when the weather decided to get cold... yea that's right. So I've been getting up every morning at 6:30 only to leave the house by 7 and freeze by but off outside marching for about an hour before the sun comes up and then still yet another 30 minutes or so with the sun barely warming us up! Just think metal in your hand, not being able to wear gloves because you wouldn't be able to play your horn, and it's 35-40 degrees outside. Let's just say not the highlight of my morning. Although being able to sit in my car with the heater on for about 15 minutes before band starts (because i always get there early and can't stand being late) and read from Psalms has definitely made my day. Teach me to do your will for you are my God. Psalm 143:10.. amazing! I ate a hot pocket for the first time yesterday it was one of those mexican quesadilla ones and it suuure was good!!! I also cleaned our toilet for the first time yesterday because i was tired of looking at it lol. I felt very firsty yesterday lol. Then to top off the day I went to Michael's and we watched the middle few innings of the Rock/Sox game!

This is from the college retreat to Arkansas this past summer on the porch of Cracker Barrel.

New

New blogspot. Thanks Kelly for the username idea. So nothing is reaaaally new around here. I don't have time for anything new :-P. I have activities every night so I feel like I'm never home! Michael did get 4 tickets from his office for the Dallas Stars game last night. These aren't just tickets though, they're box seats!!! We went a few times last year, but this was the first game of the year to go to! It was fuuuun! We stopped for food (my favorite) on the way there and made it right before the game started-perfect timing! We stayed and froze (although we did find some blankets stashed in the box about 2nd period) until the middle of the 3rd period and decided to go ahead and start to head back simply because they were winning 5-0 and we had a long drive to get home! Of course the car decided to pull over for some AMAZING milkshakes at the Dairy Palace on the way home! What an amazing way to top off the night! School, Work, Wendys, Hockey, Milkshakes, and oh a goodnight kiss :-D . So it was definitely a fun evening! Friday night is whitehouse's homecoming so after the pep rally here i'm heading that way to the game. My cousin is a junior and he plays quarterback... very well! Should be exciting!!!! And then, Saturday we have a football game at 3 so it will be another long weekend, but we only have 2 more weekends of this (one football and one marching exhibition) and it's over!!! No more band for me ever!!!!!!! As much as I love being in the band and as much as it's been a part of my life... i'm done! lol I'll miss it, but oh well.

Here's some pictures to leave you with of a game we went to last year! Me, Katy, Josh and Michael!
