I think this is an amazing song. the end.


"Thankful"

Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more

  So my mom found this free pattern on WEBS (one of the best yarn stores ever!) today, and we all fell in love with it.

Adorable, right? Well, we decided that we just absolutely need one  for our Thanksgiving table. But then me and Grace and Mercy came up with this awesome plan that we should make four. One for us, one for our aunt and uncle, one for Gramma, and one for Bump-bump and Debbie (our other grandparents). So I went out today (drove myslef!) and got the yarn.

I am very excited to make them :-)

On a side note, if you have never heard Josh Grobans "Higher window" you should go listen to it right now. It's prolly my top favorite song at the moment. And another note about music, Taylor Swifts new CD, Sparks Fly is quite awesome. go buy it if you don't already own it.

And so I am home, and I'm tired, and my shoulders hurt, and I really just want to jump into bed. But I also wanted to let you all know that I survived the concert! and it was tons of fun! I really really enjoyed performing. I think I did a pretty good job, although my G string was flat the second half of the concert. oh well. My teacher, Cynthia, did a very good Bach solo, I'm very proud of her *sniffles* ;-)


Sadly I didn't get a recording, but they might put one up on the website in a few weeks. if they do I'll post it up.
goodnight ya'll!

Save the Date!

October 30th, 2010 is my first orchestra concert! if you don't like classical music, don't come. If you do, then come! it's that simple. I don't want you to come just cuz you feel like you should support me and be miserable the entire time because you hate classical music. Only come if you'll enjoy it :)

We're playing some really awesome music. Beethovens 3rd, a Bach Concerto, and this other dumb piece that I hate and don't know who it's even by. But it's gonna be awesome :)

I know I didn't put the time up, that's because I don't know it. The schedule says 7:30 but I'm not sure if that's when I'm suppose to show up, or when it actually begins. I'll let you know when I find out.
