Can't sleep...too excited

Ok, so today was a pretty awesome day. I got up and cleaned my room while watching The Little Mermaid...classic movie. Then I spent just a little time trying to teach Blue Jacket how to play guitar because she's been asking me to for a while. She's a pretty good student...her biggest problem so far is learning how to strum which is just one of those things that you have to practice to get it. That was fun. Then I made some cupcakes. I am so sick of eating cupcakes...for real, but everyone seemed to like them, so that's cool. I have to take some to work sometime because everyone told me I had to when I got my Cupcake cookbook.

Anyway...I kinda got in a bit of a time crunch and had to rush to get all of my stuff together to get to the worship retreat wich was GREAT by the way. I love talking about our philosophies and why we do what we do. It was also really cool to hear the reasons why we're going to two services and what each service will be like. I've decided I want to go to the heritage service sometime just to see Elvis in a suit. Nah...really I probably will go from time to time. Believe it or not, I enjoy a lot of the old hymns. We went over a lot of music theory stuff. Most of it was over my head, but some of it I actually understood and it helped me understand what some of those crazy chords on my charts are. I understood enough to want to learn more. So I REALLY want to work on learning that stuff, but it will be hard to find the time in my schedule. I'm gonna try really hard though. I'm tired of not knowing what I'm doing half the time. Rehearsal rocked. I am so pumped up about tomorrow's service. Add in the fact that both of my parents and my grandma are going to be there...I'm even more excited. I'm a little worried about how grandma will handle it because she's definitely a traditionalist and so is my dad...but oh well. I know I'll be worshipping God and that's all that really matters.

After rehearsal I went to dinner with mom, dad, and grandma at Red Robin...mmmmmm Whiskey River BBQ Chicken....yummmm. It was good. Plus my parents gave me an early birthday present...two tickets to see Michael Buble in Cincinnati!!! I was suprised...I didn't even know he was going to be there. So that's exciting. The show is Friday March 10th. After dinner, we came back here so my dad and grandma could see some of my artwork because they hadn't seen any of it. BTW, I will try to get some pictures of them on here sometime...whenever I figure out how to put pictures on this thing.

So yeah, I've just been sittin at my computer listening to songs, downloading songs, building playlists for my MP3 player and whatnot. I think I'm going to hop into bed soon and start reading Prince Caspian, the 4th book in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Woohoo!

I will see most of you in the morning!!

God bless!
