So...I changed the look of my blog. I wanted something different. I'm gonna try to customize one later.
I've been procrastinating a lot lately with my school work. I'm way behind in French and Math. I need to catch up...I might have to do some over spring break (which starts tomorrow WHOOO!!!). I've also been procrastinating with my piano practicing. To fix that problem my mom said that she would take me to the church three times a week to practice for 2 hours. I'm really excited about that. There's just something different about playing on a bigger, better piano. My piano isn't really that great and it doesn't have as big of a sound as I would like. I don't get very excited when I play on my piano. But, at the church, I love that piano. It's a pretty good sized grand piano (mine is an upright) and plus, since it's in the sanctuary, it fills the whole place with a big, bold, exciting sound. There's something different about playing on a really great piano versus a not so great piano. It's really exhilarating. I try to explain it to people who aren't musical but they just think I'm crazy. Silly peoples.
My mom signed me up for violin lessons again this summer. I'm happy about that too. I didn't do it last summer so my violin's just kind of been sitting under my bed collecting dust. How sad. I think it deserves to be played. Hopefully I'll learn a lot...I really haven't had that many lessons but I do enjoy it.
My youth group has started a praise team. Me, my brother, and one other guy are doing the music. Sometimes I'll play the guitar, sometimes I'll play the piano. Last week I played the tambourine :). We've sang in church twice already. The first time we sang For The Moments I Feel Faint by Relient K and last week we sang Blessed be the Name by Tree63. I think we sound pretty good. I want to do Carried to the Table by Leeland. I figured out how to play it on the guitar and I think it'd be a really great song to do. I just love that song...it's so powerful. It almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. God is awesome.
In six days I will be spending the day with the most amazing people I know. Jon, Matt, and Caleb from Eleventyseven :D. I'm so excited for this show. I haven't been to an Eleventyseven show since September. It's gonna be great. I'm planning on getting there about three hours early. Whenever the Alfonso's get there. I want to spend the night with them after the show but I'm not sure if I am yet. Caleb said me and Cecelia are gonna do the hoe down on stage haha. I also might be helping Cecelia work their merch table so that will be fun. I'M SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHH!!!!!
Caleb is seriously the coolest, sweetest guy on the planet. I've seen him since September and talked to him on the phone. He's the greatest. He thinks I'm amazing on the piano. He said so. Not that I'm bragging or anything :)
Alright...well that's enough for now.
Life is good.

Ahhh I love the piano. I used to play it myself until I quit and I really regret it, so I think that it's great that you get to practice for a good amount of time. I love music.
I hope you have fun at the concert! And they are very nice people. I met them once. Jon's really funny.
And, yes we do have the same birthday! That's just crazy.
I wish i could play the piano. That would be so cool. I'm learning how to play... eventually. lol
