These Busy Days...

These last few days have been soooo busy!
Overview... :)
Thursday: Rushed through school, left for voice at 1pm, then straight to piano (3pm), and then back home to pick up the boys for soccer practice (5pm). ...Ahhh!!!!
Friday: Catching up on everything that was skipped on Thursday.. and supper with one of the church elders and his wife to talk about membership.
Saturday: Soccer games from 9:30-11:30am. 3 wins, 1 loss. :D .... stopped at a church yard sale on the way home and got some great deals. Lots of toys and games for Bible Bee prizes!
Well, that's pretty much everything in a nutshell...

Here's an awesome song I've been listening to lately...

English Riding

I got to go riding Sunday afternoon with one of my friends.
It was soooo much fun! :D
Her riding instructor/neighbor only does english riding,and I've always ridden western, so it was rather different for me. I enjoyed it though. Got to try posting and some lower level dressage stuff.
I really hope I'll be able to go riding with her again sometime.
Horses are just so beautiful and graceful! I always feel so in awe of God's creation when I ride them.

You should totally check out this website. http://www.adogspurpose.com
There are tons of cute dog pictures and videos, my favorite being the talking husky, Mishka. :)

They have a competition going on right now - thus all the pictures :) - and I entered one of our many adorable puppy pictures. ;)

March 10th....

I just got home from my first voice lesson, and my second piano lesson.
Both went pretty well. I need to work on my posture and breathing though.
Sang "Victory in Jesus" for voice, and played "Shout to the North" for piano. I love getting to learn using Christian songs!
Mom drove to the first lesson, but I drove everywhere else from there. I have almost all my hours of daytime driving for my license, but I still need a lot more in interstate and night-time driving time.
In the words of "Cinderella", "It's been a long day and there's still work to do..." :)
Laterz!

"Cinderella" -Steven Curtis Chapman
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She will be gone

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
