Aug. 30, 2008 - We Still Haven't Played Parcheesi
It's August 30th. ...Did I tell all of you Happy August yet? I did not. I shall now. Happy August! Now that we've gotten that settled, can you believe August ends in 2 days??? I feel like I did nothing this summer. Ok that's a lie, I feel like I did so much this summer I hardly got a summer at all! But that's ok. I really don't mind. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I'm going where God wants me to, and lemme tell ya, that's the most amazing place to be. :)
I figured I'd share with you peoples what I did this summer. You know, like one of those reports poor public school children have to do. Except I won't make it a report and you can't give me a demerit for bad grammer. so HA!
It all started in June. The first week of June was CRAZY! I loved it. Band practice and voice lessons and TWO SHOWS. We headlined The Muse and played at the Raise the Praise festival. Those shows were hot. Literally. The Muse had no air conditioning and the festival was outside. :):):) The next week I had some meetings with people and took my ACT. That was...fun. The 19-21 my mom and I helped lead at the Proverbs 31 Ministries She Speaks conference in NC. That trip was one to remember! The girls were amazing and the conference really challenged all of us. There's an important date - June 20th. That would be the lovely day my back decided to stop working. It caught, it twisted, the muscles said OW and knotted up, and the next thing I know I'm lying flat on my floor with Randi freaking out and going all doctor on me over the phone. We had VBS the next week and that really helped my back (insert sarcasm), but it was fun! I love VBS. :) Band practices and sleepovers. They rock. On the 29th I was on the radio! Asa and I went down to the station and played on a show for about 2 hours. I heard a rumor that when my little brother was trying to get the am station to come through on our radio, he had to hold the stereo all different ways and when he finally did get it, my mom screamed so loudly he dropped the radio and the signal was once again lost. :) haha.
July started the same way June did. SHOW!!! We headlined at Rocketown on the 3rd and had the tightest show we've ever had. I played special music at a church on the 6th, and then on the 7th half my family and a church group headed out to Camp Agape in Benton, TN for a mission trip. I love going out to Camp Agape and not just for the view! God moves there. Probably because you're so far away from any other distractions you actually take time to listen and go. The STARS are alive. They'll blow your mind. :) After we got back from the mission trip my back was seriously hurting, but I managed. Rested for about two days and then back out we went to Chattanooga for a homeschool book convention. After I got back from Chattanooga I got a week break and finally got time to let my back heal. I also got to put up pictures in my room in the new picture frames I got in January. haha. That was fun. :) Then band practices started again for the beginning of the next month...which, as the trend has shown, started out with shows...and at the end of July my youth group went on a weekend summer camp. That camp just brought July out with a bang.
August 3rd I played at the Mayor's First Day Festival at the Sommet Center in Nashville, the 5th I met up with my producer, did some stuff at school, then headed out to make an appearance and play at the Fed Up Rally - a march against violence in Antioch, the 6th I had two band rehearsals, which were amazing, the 7th I opened for Me In Motion at a Word Records/Driven Artist Agency Showcase, and then on the 9th I played at a Health Fair in Antioch. So it was a fairly busy week. hahaha. On the 16th, we opened for Denver and The Mile High Orchestra at a festival that Powerhouse was doing. We started half of our schoolwork that week, so I've been trying to get ahead. :):):) I'm homeschooled, it's amazing. :) The last two weeks I've been getting school done, playing at my church and doing stuff with my youth group, writing and preparing for recording!!! and just hanging out with my friends. :) It's a fun experience for sure.
So there was my summer. In a nutshell. Kudos to all of you who actually read the whole things. Yes, also, if some of you noticed, the layout of my blog is smaller than it was. haha.
I still haven't played Parcheesi though. Working on that. haha. ;)

Eeek! No air conditioning?!?! -faints-
Do you know what you got on your ACT or are you still waiting in suspense? I haven't taken the ACT, but I have taken the SAT, and that was bad enough. =P Not my score, it was grand, but I did NOT like having to take the SAT. The math part was the worst, as was the social studies and science part. lol
Ouch! Sorry to hear about your back! I pulled my back once doing something dumb... decided to manhandle the stubborn barn door that kept sticking. Very smart.
