Goodbyes are never easy

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BKpsH01Hf_U

Friday was my piano recital. It's quite sad because this may be my last year taking from my teacher, Mrs. Davies. It's kind of heart wrenching when I think about it because I've been taking from her for 7 years and I really love her.

Anyway, I did pretty good on my pieces. I messed up a little but I don't care. Haha. After the concert was awards. I got the usual certificates that I get for playing in the clubs and I usually always get a trophy for "outstanding musicianship" or something but this year I got a plaque. Awesome. I've never gotten a plaque before. After the recital we (me and my family) went downstairs for refreshments. We had to stay late because my mom helps clean up. It was just us and Mrs. Davies left and she asked me to help her take stuff to her car so I did. I didn't say bye to her like I should have. She gave me a hug and said "love you sweetie" and I didn't say anything back. Then I just said bye. I think I was too sad to say anything. I cried in the car. To make up for it I decided to go to the recital that was on Saturday because I wanted to really say goodbye to her, just in case I don't come back in the fall(she splits it up into 2 nights because she has a lot of students) and let me tell ya, that was one of the saddest things ever to go through. Both of us nearly cried. I did when I left.

We went to On The Border after the recital and I didn't say much. I was too sad. When we got home I called Cecelia (by this time it was 11 o'clock at night) and that got me in a way better mood. We talked for 2 and a half hours. We talked about many things relating to Jon Foreman and his amazing lyrical talent that God has blessed him with, and how amazing God is and a whole bunch of awesome stuff. I wish I had a transcript of that conversation. Maybe I'll blog about some of those things sometime. I love talking to Cecelia. She's one of only 2 of my friends that I really ever have theological conversations with because none of my other friends are really into that. There is one other friend who does but that's only if you catch her when she's not hyper...which is very rare. Haha I heart Cecelia. I really am blessed to have a friend like her.
