Home Again

I am ready to lay down and do nothing for a week or two. We had a blast on tour. I don't have any clue where to start. We did well in our competition on Friday. Not amazing, but much better then last year. On the way to Atlanta, we stopped at John Brown University and did a workshop with the choral director there, and got our t-shirt material there (the idea for what to put on the t-shirts that we made later). While Dr. Smith was trying to get the sopranos to sing, he had all of the ladies say "I am woman, hear me roar!" in a very high, silly voice. So, that's what we put on our shirts. The funny thing was that one of the tenors was better at it than the sopranos.

I lots of fun at Six Flags, and I got to ride a coaster called Superman, that you ride laying on your stomach, in order to simulate the flying sensation. It was very cool. On Sunday we went to a church that was very similar to our church in Nac. I enjoyed going, and it makes me miss First Christian. We had some down time on Sunday, so some of our room pranked Micaiah's door. He was somewhat surprised to find a giant Zoborg on his door. That night, we went to a Japanese steak house that is like Shoguns. It was a lot of fun, I haven't ever done anything like that before. The next day, three of us pranked two of the girls' doors (including Jc's). The door pranking is for seniors, and the other girl is one of the original pranksters, so it was fun to do her door.

Over all, it was a great trip. I could go on for hours telling you all about it, but you probably wouldn't be too interested, so I'll stop now. I will have to post pictures later, they're not on the computer yet. On Friday and Saturday, the OCHEC Home School Convention was going, and I had a booth to sell jewelry. I haven't ever had a chance to sell before, so I learned a lot. I didn't sell a ton, but I did really well, considering my total start up cost, and the experience that I gained is invaluable. I am so tired though, I had to get up early and act "perky" and awake both days. I almost fell asleep sitting at my booth! All in all, I am so happy with how it all turned out.
