epic weekend.

so, i have re-vamped my blog. i like it right now. hope you do too.

this friday, april 9th, the wesley foundation put on our annual spring dance concert, restoration. it is intended to be a night of worship and dance and friday, it truly was this. all last week we were rehearsing and getting ready for the performance and all of our hard work paid off. besides the fact that my roommate, wonderful sarah, seriously injured her knee, the show was incredible. she doesn't know this, but her injury freaked me out but it really released my nerves on stage and let me just dance. there she was getting rolled away in a wheelchair to the hospital, not able to dance the rest of the night...so i wanted to dance enough for the both of us. it was great. i obviously hate that she got hurt though and am praying for a quick quick recovery. my family came down for the performance and pretty much all my closest friends were there too. i felt like one lucky girl to have such a strong support system. its weird that dance is over for the semester, and probably for awhile, but it was worth every painful moment, every tear and everyone friendship made.

saturday morning, i got to spend time with the family and talk more about the wedding. now i have time, besides school, to help my sissy out...funny story, i used to call her sissy and one day she told me not to. at the time i was sad, now it makes sense haha. anyways, after the fam left we went to the G-Day game, which is our spring football scrimmage game. i won't lie, it was hard to concentrate on everything but i loved seeing the red and black in the stadium again. after the game, me and emily hung out with sarah and gave her company since she was stuck in bed. she's been a real trooper throughout the whole thing and that knee hasn't gotten her humor. after hanging with her, my girl brittany and i went to the David Gray concert in atlanta. brittany is my concert buddy and i love going with her. i was given david gray's music back in high school and freshman year of college but i didn't get hooked until sophomore year. the song "Shine" from his first album got me through my spring semester of sophomore year...i was addicted to it. well, he played it on saturday and i could have cried it was so good. its pretty rare that artists play their first song from their first album (ok, well john mayer did it in march too, but its still pretty rare). after my recent research, the album with the song "Shine" came out in 1993 and it was released as a single. kinda weird that i love a song now that came out when i was 5... anyways, the show was fantastic. it was a smaller venue and there were older people there so it was a different crowd. he is just an incredible musician, songwriter and singer and i'm really glad we went.

sunday i had breakfast with my new friend paige and it was nice to talk with her. she leaves for haiti today which is exciting and nice of her to make time for me before her departure. church was good and so was sunday afternoon. i wasn't too productive all day but i had relaxing times with the roommates and had dinner at the grill with sarah's mom- yummy.

this weekend was fun because i danced, obviously, but i also got great quality time with friends. i pray for more of that the next 3 weeks because its what i am craving. oh, and i also need to get homework done. haha oh, how senioritis bug has gotten me.
