In Which I Sing

This past week there was a Christian music camp going on at a local church. I was working and couldn't make it to classes, but I joined the mass choir that practiced in the evenings. My voice is nothing great, trust me, but I love singing. 
There was a dress code. You had to wear a dress to practices. Not having any, I borrowed a couple from some Amish coworkers. It was incredibly...interesting wearing amish dresses. For one thing, they can't have zippers. I had to have help several times to get those things on and off. My head had the hardest time getting through the little neck hole. 
I added the belt to make it look a little dressier. Plus I wear belts whenever possible.
I have very few pictures from the week. We sang and sang and sang. But, after the practices, there was always something fun to do. 
The one night a bunch of us coworkers had a sleepover. Since I was already wearing the dress, one of them lent me her cap and I became all the way Amish. =) (That's Leah, my good friend, next to me.)
Another night there was a volley ball game with old friends. This is Sharla and Sue.
One evening my friend Jess and I went shopping after practice and found this little guy. He looks slightly freaked out. Minions!!!
I stole this off her face book page, but here is Jess and Rosanna. A bunch of us choir members went out for coffee one evening. I love these girls. Aren't they gorgeous?!
This was the night of the concert. Sherri was very supportive and came to hear me/us!!! The concert itself was SO MUCH fun. I'll always be glad I joined. And always wish I had some more pictures to show for it.
Jess. Truly an amazing human being. She was also the one who convinced me to give the choir a try. 
Two more lovely people...Katrina and Bekah; they keep me laughing.
 As well as keeping me young. (Acting it, anyway.)
And that's all the pictures I have to show for such and amazing week.

I thought it would be fun to do a post on being a waitress. I wish I could say that I wrote all of these. I didn't. I just renovated an article I recently read to fit my own experience.  So here goes: 20 things about a server: 1.  Your weekends start on Sundays. And ends on Sunday too. You try squeezing an entire weekend in one day. Not easy. 2.   Wanting it to be busy but also wanting it to be soooo sloooow. Get busy and make money that you desperately need, or stay slow and get cut in time to have a social life? DECISIONS ARE HARD. 3.  People who switch tables a hundred times. ‘This one is too dark. That one is too bright. This one is too secluded. That one is too loud.’ This table will take up   maybe   45-90 minutes of your life. You are not Goldilocks. Please SIT DOWN! 4.  Being ignored after saying hello to a table. Gotta love those people who think that drinks, food...

This group of people are the best. We got to hang out all weekend. (They even came to visit me at work. Bless their hearts.)  :: Out for a little Sunday drive. This is how we roll. (Also how we get the neighbors to look.) ::  :: We look normal... ::  ::...but we aren't...::  ::Want to know how you almost get kicked out of the Walmart parking lot??? Try doing this sort of thing in front of the store. ::   Yup. It was a blast. Some of things we did: Volley ball (until we were sick of it) Ice cream (yum!) Do NOT sit on TOP of the picnic tables. It makes the workers grumpy. (Who knew that was against the rules?) Rides in my new car (Isn't he adorable?) The guys found a new way of making the tires squeal. Lift the car from the back, rev it up and drop it. It works!!! The telling of lots of lame jokes ('Shut up turkey, I know what I'm doing.') Eating popcorn around the fire until we were blue in the face. Becoming Walmart ...

Various Things That I Love

I know, I post pictures of these friends quite often. Seriously though, if they were your friends, you would too. I am so thankful for them. And I'm trying to enjoy as many moments as I can with them before I leave for Florida. Yes, folks. I am moving to Florida. Not forever. Just for the winter. To work.   While I am not crossing the ocean, I feel like this applies to me. This moving to Florida for 4 months makes me nervous, but I also look forward to the new adventures, new friends, new job. On the other hand, it is difficult to leave my friends and things familiar to me. Just like everyone else, change is not my favorite thing. But it is good for me.  These are my parents. They are good people you should know.   My big brother Blake and I from way back in September, but I like the fact that we are both in the same picture.  This is Marvin and Janice. I am privileged to attend the same church as them. You won't meet better folks then these. Th...
