That's how long it had been since I posted here*bangs head*. Sorry!! Somehow time keeps flying and in the midst... I'm really bad at updating this!! I am on here pretty often though reading all of your posts. :)
It's September and that means we are once again to my very favorite time of year!! :) Mid. Sept. - Mid. October is the best time of year... well outside of the Christmas season anyways!! :) I LOVE the leaves changing on the trees, the perfect weather that come this time of year - not humid, and not very hot (usually like 60-75)-, I love the "fall" stuff...pumpkins, hay , apples (esp. MacIntosh)etc. It's just a wonderful time of year, and I am thankful to live in an area where fall is truely fall! :)I spent about an hour this afternoon taking pictures outside. All the goldenrod in the fields adds a glow of yellow and it's indeed beautiful. The leaves really aren't changing yet. There was more changed a month ago than there is now. We had a heat wave a couple weeks ago and all the leaves that were changed fell off and nothing has really changed since. Soon though... :) And I can't wait.
This Sunday is my 18th birthday. I'm having a party that afternoon w/ my family. My brothers Josh & Chris are coming over and my sister Melissa is coming w/ my 3 nephews. I love being w/ family. I've never really liked cake though, so I always make an icecream cake. This year it'll be half chocolate and half mint choco chip. :)
I've spent the last 2 days in bed w/ the flu. :( Thankfully today I am feeling a lot better, but I guess I have to miss the first night of Buckaroo Bible Club, b/c I am not 100% better yet. :( I'm just hoping that no one else gets it, b/c I don't want to have to cancel Sunday. A couple yrs ago we kept getting sick and didn't end up having it until late October.
I got my flute in the mail on Monday. :) (6 days after I was suppost to start flute lessons!!). I've been wanting to learn to play, so I got a brand new one off of ebay. I didn't want the traditional silver kind, so I ordered a black one w/ gold keys and it is beautiful!! :) I start lessons next Tuesday now. I've never taken lessons for anything before, so this'll be new. I self'-taught myself piano & guitar... and already got a head-start on flute since I've gotten it ( I couldn't help myself :) ) , and learned how to play G, A, B, & C perfectly.
Great news!! Jonathan dropped a bunch of his allergies!! Praise the Lord!! He was re-tested last Wednesday and dropped his allergies to milk, soy, corn, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, cinnamon, watermelon, apples, chicken, and a few other things!! We are thrilled!! :) Jordan was supost to be re-tested yesterday, but it was canceled b/c I was sick. He'll be tested next month now.
Septmember 6th I got to help out w/ Harvest Day at Heritage Village, the nursing home I play piano at. It was a lot of fun. My job was helping w/ the drinks in the food line. It was outside and only like 55 degrees out w/ a cold wind. I was dumb enough to come in a short sleeve shirt! Anyway, that and the fact that a spent almost 3 hrs sticking my hands in ice water provided for a cold, but fun job. Before I double-layered my gloves my hands went completely numb!! Do any of you know who Scott Krippayne is? Well he's one of my favorite singers, and was there doing a concert. I only got to hear part of it, but he came and got a bottle of water from me, so that was cool. :)
Life has been crazy.. but now I just went completely braindead to all that has happed :0 so I guess I'll end here. :)

@walkinhisways - Yeah, I love music - playing it or listening to it. :)
Yeah, I heard your cousin had tickets to go to the AI tour .. but I hadn't heard since. Oh... she is SO lucky. :) Stand by Me was one of my favorite songs that he sang. :)
