Amazing!

Emily and I went to go see Bowfire tonight at Emens and it was amazing! I knew it was going to be good, but it was at least 10x's better than i was expecting! For those of you who don't know what Bowfire is, it's a group of string players (mainly violinists) plus a pianist and a percussionist who perform all sorts of music, most of which is highly virtuostic. Oh, and the best part was that not only did they play their instruments like no one else's bussiness, they also danced (like irish dancing) and sang! So the $5 that we paid to get in was totally worth it to see this spectacular show! I recommend it to anyone that has an opportunity to see it in the future!
Well, this past week has been interesting...filled with ups and downs. I'll spare the details and just hit some highlights and lowlights...hmmm, how to go about this...I know! I'll make a list b/c i love lists!
Lowlights first:
1. lost my celly y-day..but i found it today!!!! thank you Jesus!
2. had hardly any time to practice piano and wasn't ready for my lesson on Wed. of course, it doesn't help that i choose vocalise by Rachmaninov (sp?) which has an insane amount of accidentals!
3. got a letter in the mail saying that i had a "records hold" and wouldn't be allowed to register for spring classes unless they were resolved by Wednessday.
4. not spending as much time in prayer as i need to...
5. worrying about plans about where to live next year instead of seeking God's wisdom

Highlights:
1. BOWFIRE!!! enough said!
2. some other good concerts (trombone choir on Monday night and Musical Arts Quintet last night)
3. saw the Prestige..actually that was last weekend, but it was really good
4. we read through some Christmas music in flute choir and handbells! I cannot wait till Christmas!
5. I'm only playing one piece for the upcoming orchestra concert, so that means i have alot more "free" time..and by "free" time i mean time to do Macgamut and Music history reading!
6. God is showing me that His plans are soooooo much better than my plans!
7. The best is yet to come...tomorrow emily and i are making guacamole b/c we both love it so much! we're going to have a fiesta in our room and watch a movie. then we're going to make an avacado hair treatment b/c it's fun!
8. Sunday we're going to hopefully go to church w/Abby, Ty, and Trent b/c we're still trying to find a good church here in Muncie!

i think that covers most of the important stuff...
Only 11 days until Thanksgiving break!!!! pavo, pavo, pavo...
I can't wait to see my awesome cousins in Michigan!!!!
Nish, i'm very sad that you won't be able to join us this year ) : i promise i'll call you this weekend sometime!
