My Life The Past Few Days...

This week in English class we were given our assignment for the rest of the school year... Our senior scrapbook! I am a secret scrapper at heart so I am TOTALLY stoked for this! We have to write 10 short essays and turn one in every friday until the last week of school (which means there are only TEN WEEKS UNTIL I GRADUATE)!! My first essay is due tomorrow and it was about family... If you know me you also know that I have a pretty big family! So I just wrote about my mom and dad, sisters, and grandparents (sorry cousins, aunts, and uncles... I am sure you will make an appearance soon enough!) anyways so I wrote a 750 word essay about my family! I talked about how they have helped shape me to be the person I am today and stuff like that... But in the part about my sisters I wrote how we really I mean REALLY enjoy going to concerts... I quoted Lindsey in the paper because a few weeks ago when we went to see The Civil Wars she said "some people go bowling, some to the movies, we go to concerts." That is SO true! We are almost as addicted to going to concerts as I am to buying TOMS! Anyways we had the privilege of going to see Ben Rector last week and as usual it was AMAZING! He opened for some band called needtobreathe... To be honest none of us (Lindsey, Meagan, Tanner, and I) had ever heard of them, anyways Ben sang some songs from his most current album and then for his last song he always does a cover song... As many of you know, the AMAZING Whitney Houston passed away last week, and when he got ready to do his last song he said "This is a Whitney Houston cover song... is it too soon?" Of course we all said NO!! So he sang it! I must admit that really the only Whitney songs I knew were from the Preacher's wife soundtrack, but he sand "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and I only know the chorus to that song... but let me tell you IT WAS AMAZING!! We were all dancing and singing our lungs out! If you get the chance go look it up on youtube because if you need a song to blast and dance to, that is totally the one! I am really proud of him! I wrote about several other things in this paper, but that was probably my most favorite part! Here are a few pictures of the Ben concert! I hope you enjoy!
