Orchestra...

Today was definitely not as exciting as our week in the studio, but it was still pretty great!

I slept in lots...haha...But after I woke up, I practiced my voilin, did some laundry, and responded to some important e-mails. Pretty normal day until...

Anna met Sammy at Brentwood Baptist Church to discuss some important music-related things...She brought me with. Sammy told me to bring my violin, so I did! (I'm so obedient! ...haha) When I got there, he introduced me to the orchestra director for the church. Yes, the church is so huge that they have their own orchestra! So, I sat in and played with them. The music was so beautiful. Nothing super difficult, but I really enjoyed it. They asked me to play with them in church on Sunday! Yay! Anna might join the choir there too! It's pretty nice...Everyone was so nice to me, and I am really excited to get involved in a church here. I've only been here for a couple weeks, but it's really important for me to get involved in a church family. What a wonderful way to be involved! Praise the Lord!

I had been wanting to find some things that I could do to keep myself busy. I missed playing my violin for things, so this is the perfect opportunity! It's mine! Anna's music has been providing such wonderful opportunities for me, but now I have another one that is from my music! Cool...

After that orchestra adventure, Anna and I went to the Publix grocery store to get some milk and bread. We had been out of milk for a week! (I love milk, so that was difficult for me to handle...) And I just finished the bread today. I had the end crust piece with a slab of turkey for lunch...It was dry. Ugh. But this bread should be much better! I hope...Haha! But, instead of just getting the necessities, we got something a little extra...We bought this delicious coffee/brownie ice cream! I'm not exactly sure what it was...but it was good. Good is an understatement, but I am speechless; it was superb, fantastic, delightful, delectable, amazing....those types of things. :) I enjoyed it. We watched Project Runway while pigging out. Just kidding. We didn't eat that much of it. I shoved it in the tiny freezer. Somehow, I found room...We are going to eat the rest later. :) MMmmmm....

Now, it's bed time. Tomorrow morning, I am meeting with a professor at Vanderbilt University to discuss violin lessons. It should be a great experience! I like driving to Nashville....I feel so independent! Anna has to work in the morning, so I am dropping her off. It will be another busy and exciting day in Nashville! (and Franklin....) Good night everyone!
