Concert and Tour

Choir concert is over! It was, in my opinion and my parents opinion, the best concert since we have been in the choir, so out of 5 or 6 concerts, it was the best. We sang really well (as far as I can tell) and it was not particularly long, although it could have been shorter. Ladies ensemble did fantastic on our first song! I was so proud of everyone, we all breathed together when we were supposed to! Our second song was not as great, but it was still really good.


Jc had the big senior solo/duet this year, and she did amazing! It was beautiful, Jc, you did great!

The choir did quite well second half, we nailed our two a Capella pieces, one even had 4 key changes that went perfectly! It was amazing to be part of such a good performance with this choir.

After concert, we of course all went to IHOP, the standard after-party location. We had great fun, and I even got a picture of Jacob on my first try!

Then, the traditional syrup chugging! All seniors who come to IHOP must chug syrup before they can leave. This year, four of them did it! Miciah drank the full bottle. I don't think anyone has ever done that, most just drink some of it. The girls allways pour it intlo spoons and only have 1-3 spoonfuls.




Nick came back from Germany on Monday and after meeting his family, he came up to Okc and met with us and Carolyn, one of our friends that has been talking with him on Facebook and then over the phone. He came to concert and to IHOP afterwards. This is the best picture I got with him in it. Carolyn is the one who is hiding her face.


TOUR IS TOMORROW! We are going to Atlanta, GA, and I am so excited, I can't even tell you how excited I am. Especially since we are spending all day Saturday at Six Flags! And they have lots of big rides, including a roller coaster that you stand up on the whole time! I am so glad we have plenty of time to spend there. We are going to do all sorts of fun things, like go to the aquarium, dialogue in the dark, and a Japanese steak house! We will, unfortunately, be visiting The Body exhibit, but I will be going with the group that stays outside that part. I have no interest in seeing what the human body looks like. I am sure it is made wonderfully, but I don't need to see it, especially since I get grossed out just looking at the advertisements for it! I also have moral issues with it. Unless they can prove to me that the bodies were honestly retrieved, I don't want to support it.

So, since we are leaving tomorrow at 4am, I won't be on again for a while, but I will let you all know how the trip was as soon as I get back!

Thoughts of Good Friday

Good Friday, probably the most hopeless day that ever occurred in history, especially for Jesus' Apostles. Have you ever thought about how they must have felt? In a few hours, their whole world as they knew it came crashing down. The man that they had followed and believed in for three years was condemned to die. My thoughts would be mostly wondering about what would happen next. Would He manage to avoid the death sentence? What would happen if He did? If He didn't? Where will I go now? What will I do? Will I be next on the cross? Probably this would have been the scariest day in the Apostles lives. We are so blessed to live now, and to be able to look back on this day, knowing that it all turns out better then any story ever could. We can look at the Cross with the hope that comes with knowing that it couldn't last. If only we always looked at everything this way, with the hope that comes from knowing that no matter what happens, no matter how we hurt or how much is taken away from us, we will someday meet again in heaven, and that can never be taken away by anyone, not even the Devil himself.
