Goodbye, Spring Break. You were incredibly kind to me and I hate to see you go so soon. 37 days until classes are over. 44 until the end of exams. Then it will be summer. Sweet, sweet summer.
Over the course of Spring Break, I was able to spend lots of time with Mom's little children. There is something so refreshing to see the innocence of a child. They have their entire life ahead of them and yet they are so unaware of what is ahead. They just run, smile, and love. It was beautiful.
I also was able to see my cousin, David in High School Musical at Flora! He was fantastic! They have a super sweet new theatre too. As a performer, I was completely jealous.
Caleb also celebrated his 19th birthday over break! That called for a celebration! This led to a trip to Olive Garden, bowling and laser tag, and Starbucks. It was quite an adventure with fantastic friends. I'm incredibly blessed.
Saturday night was incredible beyond words. Sutton Foster. Need I say more? Stephanie, Sara Ashley, and myself had the wonderful opportunity to witness this concert first hand. I was blown away. She is literally amazing. She made the concert very personal but she kept it flowing. She sang a great deal from her new album but also some fan favorites from shows such as "Thoroughly Modern Millie" "Little Women" "The Drowsy Chaperone" and "Annie." Fab. She was incredibly classy and elegant. She simply stood on the stage, with a microphone, and with Michael Rafter playing the piano, she simply just sang. It was beautiful. She also blessed us with a rendition of "And I'm Telling You" from Dreamgirls. Basically she should play Effie in her next role. Finally to top the night off, we got to meet her and Michael Rafter and get our pictures made! It was a fantastic evening.
Basically to sum up Spring Break, I didn't feel the need to go somewhere far away. I simply went home. Dorothy was correct when she said "There's no place like home." I got to spend time with the people I love the most. What better way to spend a week off of school? Oh yeah, there's not.
Random thoughts of the night:
-Health Care Bill: I'm annoyed by it. And not by the result of the vote. I'm annoyed at everyone that is spazzing out about it. Honestly, you can't do anything about it so uhhhh don't waste your time freaking. Most people in America are uneducated about it so their argument is basically ridiculous and pointless. There are bigger things in life to worry about.
-Classes start back tomorrow. I hope I have some motivation.
-I've determined that there are no longer awkward moments, it's an awkward life.
-Tonight, I watched videos of Mary Kate and Ashley... I basically relived my childhood.
-I really feel like I should go back to NYC sometime really really really soon. I miss it.
- It's getting late and I don't have anything really thought provoking to share tonight so my pillow and I are fixing to have some quality bonding time. It has missed me this week.
Until next time....

Good blog! As far as the healthcare statement, It is posted online. A lot of Americans ARE well educated about it. You can read it for yourself. A lot of doctors are against it as well. Oh, and did you know it funds abortion? I think it is important to know what is going on in our world today, it effects our children and grandchildren. Because a lot are. I am sorry you are so annoyed with it.
Oh and if you think there are bigger things in life to worry about, you are obviously very uneducated about it. It is a big deal for our country. So why be so annoyed? Take use of it online and learn for yourself. It is going to effect everyones life very greatly.
I never said I was educated about it which is why I do not sit here and attempt to give some sort of argument. What I do know is it is out of our control. Yes we can write our letters, make our phone calls etc. to our representatives letting them know our views however, we have no other say. Therefore, why spend time being disgruntled about it? We just have to accept the fact that there are things in life that our out of our control and be ok with it. Christ is in control and he is greater than any bill, law, congressman, or president.
I agree with that as well. But I do not think its very nice of you to complain about all the people who complain about it. I have family members who will be hurt by this. We are allowed to have our opinion whether or not we can control it. Our founding fathers founded this nation on FREEDOM, to let the people have a voice. This bill goes against that. I am also pretty sure we were founded on Christian basis's too. Yes, Christ is bigger and in control, but I don't think it is right for you to bash on people who have a problem with it. That is not very Christ-like.
Listen, I am very sorry that I offended you. I don't even know if I know you. It seems that we have some different views on this. I have my opinion and you have yours. Both of us are entitled to them.
