It's about time...

Dearest you,

I feel the need to apologize to those of you who have been looking for a post from me these past...few weeks. I've been too lazy to write, which sounds so odd even to myself, but considering the state of our computers, working with them can often be more of a frustration than a pleasure. At least I'm on facebook less now :P
Anyways, I guess you're wanting an overview of my life since I last blogged. Music camp lasted a week, and yes, there were music nerds there. Or music geeks. I have yet to determine the difference between nerds and geeks. Anyone care to enlighten? The camp was fun nonetheless. The food was amazing, as always. I memorized over 70 pages of music for choir and musical theatre. I practiced my violin for two and a half hours each day which is WAYYYY more than normal for me. I learned more music nerd-ish stuff during theory class. Oh, and some cool dance moves during theatre :P Fun times, fun times...

The next week was catching back up to the real world. Tough stuff out there, did you know that? No one ever told me life would be easy, but I never really considered how emotionally draining situations could be. And before these past few months I had never really felt a gazillion different emotions at once. Sorrow and anger go hand in hand sometimes, don't they?

Last week I worked the concessions stand at a Little League park with awesome co-workers Gen, Blake, and Evan. Funnel cakes don't smell so swell when they've been swarming around you for five hours every night. And nacho cheese sauce never really smells--or looks--great. And gigantic pickles aren't all that appealing. But it sure was nice to get a paycheck today :D And it was fun to be all professional-like and work a cash register. And watch the young umpires try to flirt with Gen and I--Good thing our brothers tagged along :P

Gen's deserting me next week to go to Seattle, WA. Ok, just kidding. She's not deserting me :P She IS going to Seattle, but it's her graduation/birthday present/vacation with my dad. I'll miss her though :( Today we went shopping to secure a few more memories before her departure. Old Navy, JoAnns, JC Penny, Ross, Target, and Panera were all on our itinerary. More fun times :)

And while she's off gallivanting in Seattle (with relatives), I'll be counseling at a day camp for 30 little eight to eleven-year-old music nerds :D Which should be a lot of fun. I shall tell you all about it at its conclusion :)


Praise God for His everlasting grace! And His daily reminders to extend that grace to everyone else.
Con amore,
Sophie
