Last night was perhaps the best night I have had in a while. It was so fun! Trevor bought me tickets to this concert. He was supposed to go with me but circumstances changed. I actually invited him to go with me again. He ended up not able to go though. I needed to give this extra ticket away. I asked Tessa if she wanted to go but she had to work. Then I asked Tori if she wanted to go but she was already going with her piano teacher. After being rejected three times now, I finally asked my dad. I don't know why I didn't ask him first. He likes these types of things. Sorry Bubba :).
We left the house at 6:15 and got there really early. It didn't start til 7:00. They didn't let us in the auditorium till 6:50 so we were waiting for quite a long time. There were a lot of people we know there. A lot of people from our ward.
The concert finally started. It started with an a capella group call the HC Six I think. They are a group from Gilbert. They were pretty good too. I was kinda surprised. They sang three songs and then Jon Schmidt came out. He played a lot of the same songs that I already heard before in the other concert I went to but it was better. The concert in Thatcher didn't have the celloist. This was an amazing celloist. He did such cool things with the cello that I had no idea you could do with a cello. It was amazing.
The best part of the concert was the ending. It is such a sweet sweet moment. So, this mother of five was at the concert with her kids. Her husband has been gone for the last six months doing military work. The mother told the kids that the father was coming back on Christmas Eve. But the mother surprised the kids. She talked with Jon Schmidt and made a plan with him and J.S. agreed with it. J.S had the family come up on the stage and then he talked with them for a while. Then he said that he had a surprise for them. He had the kids turn around and while they turned around, the father walked out on stage. The father came home that night and caught the kids of guard. It was such a cool feeling in that auditorium. People were breaking out in tears and the audience kept clapping and clapping. We clapped for what seemed like 5 min. It was forever long. The oldest daughter, about 9, was crying with joy. It was a sweet moment.
Then J.S. ended his concert with my favorite song called Tribute. Then after that he had the whole audience sing Silent night. It was such a good night. The concert went an hour longer than it was supposed to. Man. Ok. I am done. It was a good night. :)

Happier News
Well, finals came and went. I did pretty good. I was having a hard time studying for them though because of Trevor breaking up with me. I just could not concentrate. Abby's boyfriend gave me a blessing of comfort though. It helped so much. I was able to study for my finals. I was finally able to go home on wendesday. I have to tell you my funny, embarrasing, inconvenient, story.
Wednesday about 3:30, I was all packed up and ready to go home to Gilbert. I got everything in my car, said my goodbyes to my roommates and left. The total time from Thatcher to Gilbert is two and a half hours. I was about 45 min into my drive and something came to my realization. I totally forgot ALL of my pants. How stupid was that? I didn't have one pair of pants. Well, except for the ones I was wearing at that time. I didn't know what to do. Was I close enough to turn back? It was winter time, so I needed all my pants. I don't fit into Tessa's pants I don't think. So, I called Tessa up and asked what I should do. She told me to turn back. So, I did. My roommates all laughed at me when they saw me return. Oh well. I made a long drive even longer. My drive ended up being about 4 and a half hours long. Man. What a long time to drive continuosly. My fault though.
I got home safely and I have just been enjoying life without any classes to worry about. I have been addicted to checking my grades. My teachers were driving me crazy because they did not put the grades up for the longest time. You would think that they would get it done sooner. They expect us to get our papers and assignments done on time you would think that they would have their grades in on time. But they didn't. I had to wait and wait. I have all the grades now though. I got A's on all my music performance classes. On the harded classes I got two b's and one A. I got an A in my World of Music class. I was happy with that. I had a high B before the final. That just means that I did really well on my final. I got a B in my Marriage and Family class. I was expecting that one. I was not expecting this though. I really thought that I would get a C in my anatomy class. I ended up getting a B in it though. It was a really low B (80.1%) but I got a B. So far in my college carrer I have only gotten one C. That was my spanish class last semester.
I will tell you the best part of my vacation in the next blog. It is about a piano player.

Did You Miss Me???
It has been a month. Wow. Where does time fly? I don't even know where to begin. Sad news first? Happy news? Hmmm. I think I will do some happy news first.
School is out for the winter!!! Finally. I so definately needed this break for so many reasons. One of those reasons I will tell you later. I was so scared for finals. Wait. I need to tell you the sad news now for this to make sense. Well, here it goes. About two weeks ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. It was quite an abrupt break up really. I was not expecting it at all!
I will tell you what happened right after I got back to Thatcher from Thankgiving break. We were still together. I went back to Thatcher on sunday night and got there about 9:30. I soooo wanted to see Trevor. I missed him so much. It was crazy. He ended up coming over to my apartment that night. I was so excited to see him! I could not stop smiling when I saw him. I wanted to talk to him all night but I couldn't because I needed to get to bed for school. But we had fun talking to each other. He left around 10:30.
Monday, he was so sweet to me. I told him all that I had to do that week. It was a lot of stuff too. On wednesday I had a huge lab practical, so I had to study monday and tuesday for that. Then on thursday I had a test in my marriage and family class. Then on friday I had an Anatomy test. So, I had so much studying to do. Oh, I also had a concert on tuesday and that inhibited(is that the right word?) some of my study time. Anyway, I had a lot to do that week and Trevor was so sweet. He told me that he would like to help me in any way possible. He helped me monday afternoon and helped me sort out some of my notecards. Then he had to go to class. Then I went to a practice that night from 6:00 til 7:30. After I got home, he came over and he told me that he was going to help me study. We decided to go somewhere outside to study. It was way to noisy in my apartment. We ended up going to the baseball field and sat in the dugout. He then quizzed me on all of my notecards and worksheets. We took a break once and we danced on homeplate. It was funny. I hope that no one was watching. Ohwell. We danced and he sang to me.
Then we got cold and decided to go back to my apartment. Tuesday came and went. I went to the concert and went home to study and he did whatever he did. Actually I know what he did but I will tell you that in a moment. Wednesday was the day of my practical. I did pretty well on it too. I ended up getting a B on it. That night he had a dance rehersal to go to but then he came to visit me and I wish he didn't. He asked if we could go on a walk. I said yes. Then I told him about my day and about Tessa's blood donating experience. Then he got a serious tone of voice. Eventually, I got the hint. He was talking about how he had a knot in his stomach all day. I would too if I had to say what he had to say. He said something to the point that he was still in love with someone that he dating a couple months before hand. He dated a girl two months after his mission and they got pretty serious. So serious to the point of them talking about marriage and everything. I was so confused at that time and I wanted to cry but wasn't going to in front of him so he walked me home and then I cried when I got home. Over the next week, I got more details of why he did what he did. He told me that he still cared about me. He said that he loved me. But he also loved another girl at the same time. I told him that I was mad at him. Me mad? Yes. I was mad that he didn't make sure he didn't have feelings for this other girl. It hurt me pretty badly. But, as of right now, I forgive him. He was just being fair to me. So, that was the sad news. I will tell you the more happy news in the next blog. This is a bit long.
