Well....I just wrote like a NOVEL about everything thats goin on in my life right now...and it got deleted cuz my computer is SO stupid!!!!!!!!!!  So instead of getting just overly upset....I'm just gonna say that maybe it was God's purpose for me not to post about my life right now.  So I'll post it all again later...probably after State UIL Solo & Ensemble this weekend.  If you have any questions for me about my life in the mean time....just IM me or email me or call me if you have my number!  Love you guys SOOO much!

*Deep Thoughts* - Me:"This is the end, guys..." Everyone else:"JOHN!  We haven't graduated yet!!!"  hahahaha

Whoa....I have tuesday....and half a day wednesday....and I will no longer have ANYMORE high school classes....just CRAZY!

*Deep Thoughts* - Word of God speak, would you pour down like rain, washing my eyes to see your majesty, to be still and know that you're in this place?  Please let me stay and rest in your holiness.  I'm finding myself at a loss for words and the funny thing is....its ok....word of God speak.

So we had our last choir concert Thursday....and I had NO idea how TIRING it is to cry! hahaha!  I cried during Lauren and Kryste's solo a bit but tried not to just let go because I had to sing my solo soon. Then I almost started crying during Ellen's solo, which was right before mine, and I almost lost it when her Dad came up on stage to give her flowers after she sang! haha!  Then I go up and sing my solo and my throat is TOTALLY dry and it wasnt the BEST i ever sang "Here I Am To Worship" but it was ok none the less.  I got a big cheer and a few "Hallelujah!" in the audience! haha! Then I get to the side of the stage where everyone is waiting for me....crying....and they hug me.  One thing to know...if you hug me when I am slightly emotional....I will break down...which is EXACTLY what I did! haha!  Then I had to get into my Beast costume for the women's choir's beauty and the beast song.  At intermission, I got to say hi to my good friend, Michael, and my sister who came in from Kansas City to see me graduate.  That was cool and fun. lol!

Then the second act...I pretty much kept myself together til the end.  The farmer four sang before Mainstreet choir and we just totally ROCKED it! haha! I was really happy with how we ended off our year together.  Then I go backstage and everyone is crying again!  So we all start hugging and I am crying all over the place! haha!  Then mainstreet did our Disney Medly thing and just had a BLAST doin' it.  The last senior soloist was Mandy....and she just did SUUUUUUCH a good job with "I Will Always Love You!!!"  Me and Lauren were on the side crying the WHOLE time!  Hahaha!  Then we ran out on stage when Mandy finish and cried it up again with her and Ellen.  We ended the concert with "The Lord Bless You and Keep You,"  which of course made me cry AGAIN! haha!  It was a pretty fun concert over all though.  I was happy.

Well I have to go record myself singing "The Vagabond" and maybe a few other songs too with Mr. Ranne today at because my English teacher wants a recording of me to have for herself.  So I'm gonna go eat something and warm up a bit.  Bye bye!

There is a time to keep silent...that time is up...be prepared...
