So I was in Walmart yesterday doing mom's weekly shopping. I really hate Walmart (though I don't mind buying her groceries because I get mine for free!) and I really strongly dislike some of the people who go there. People are often rude, inconsiderate, and either don't walk fast enough, or try to run you over. It's awfuL!
Needless to say, I was ready to get out of walmart and get back home. So while waiting in the line, trying to get checked out, I started thinking (not good when I'm bored.). I have 21 days from the time I graduate until the time Camp Lakeside starts back. That's THREE weeks for those of you who can't count. Frankly (and no offense to mom or dad) I don't want to be stuck at home for those three weeks. So it occured to me... I'm getting out.
That's right! I'm meticulously planning a spontaneous 3 week road trip to some place not in Misssissippi, Alabama, or Arkansas. Great idea, right?!
Here's how I see it. I've pretty much got school covered right now with different scholarships and such, so the money I have saved up right now, I'll use to blow on my road trip. So money's covered-- i don't have to worry about that. But now I'm having issues figuring out where to go...
Should I go to Chicago and stop in St. Louis and visit the Great Lakes? Or head east toward Philadelphia, D.C., and New York? Or perhaps I should make like the old pioneers and head west toward California. I dunno yet. Why don't you give me your opinion?!?!
****NOTE: to anyone who thinks this is a bad idea, I don't wanna hear it. LOL
Wish me luck!!! Oh, P.S. I have a solo (ok, so it's actually a duet) in the NWCC Singers Concert this Thursday! Pray for me!

Choir Trip '09
We had such a fun time on the coast for our Mass Choir trip this year. Everyone complimented us on how well we knew the songs we had to learn and how put together and professional our choir sounded. I was very proud! We got home at 4:00 this morning and i am exhausted! But we definitely had a ball!
My lovely friend, Josh. He has a beautiful voice and last night he played his guitar and sang on the beach. it was wonderful!
The Biloxi Lighthouse. The only working lighthouse in America! COOL!
We went to Ocean Springs, also. It's really a beautiful little town. All sorts of shops and restaurants. There was a Walter Anderson Museum, which was absolutely beautiful! I love his work. We stopped to take a photo op by the pretty flowers.
Then we found this CANDY SHOP! Hallelujah, praise the Lord! It was delicious! That was probably my favorite part of the whole trip! lol

Free at Last!!!
CATS is over!! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, I'm done with this show! Don't get me wrong, I had a really fun time, but I'm so grateful that it's over! Praise GOD!
It went really well, all 8 shows, and I'm thuroughly exhausted... and apparently so was my roommate, Sarah. This is what Alyssa and I did to celebrate.

My Poor Mother...
HAS NO LIFE!
I was on facebook today and this poor woman, bless her soul, has filled out surveys and every chain letter thing you can think of...
And bless her heart, she apparently thinks I have no life either. THREE unread e-mails from her, a few instant messages, and I'm sure there was a comment or something in there. Poor thing. :)
love you, mom!
