On Saturday morning mom and I went to Sherman to do some shopping. We both left saying, “I don’t want to spend any money,” so I’m not really sure why we went in the first place. Haha! We didn’t spend very much though so we did ok. We just spent a few hours around Sherman then went to eat at Panera together. When we finished shopping mom dropped me off at some friend’s house in Sherman to meet up with Matt. He and Dave (the drummer in his band) were practicing some and recording a few songs at Dave’s house. We hung out there for a while the matt and I drove to Gainesville. We ate, watched most of an A&M football game, then carved a pumpkin! As far as I can remember, I have never carved a pumpkin! We didn’t have “pumpkin carving tools” so we used dad’s pocket knife! We thought and thought about what we could carve, and just couldn’t decide. So after looking at many faces, and scary pictures, and intricate and detailed designs… we finally decided on…
TEXAS! Haha, we thought it was pretty fun! :) Here are some more pictures from my first pumpkin carving experience!
Yummy... haha!
This is my "angry face" after Matt smeared pumpkin guts all over my face...
Cleaning out our pumpkin...
It was pretty disgusting, really...
All cleaned out!
The planning stage...
He is so focused... haha!
Matt working on cutting out the design...
The final product...
Our silly picture...
All done!
On Sunday Matt and I went to church at Sonrise. We got to visit with a few people there then we left shortly after church was over. We went through Sonic then got on the road on the way to… SIX FLAGS! Matt’s band had been asked to play there a while back, then something fell through and the people changed their minds. They were pretty disappointed about it. However, someone called them on Friday or Saturday and wanted them to come play after all! It was “World Youth Day” and there were a lot of Catholic youth groups there. Because it was such late notice, two of the four band members weren’t able to come, so Matt and David did an acoustic show. They just played with Matt’s guitar and David’s djembe drum. I got to go and sing harmonies on two songs. When we got there, we pulled up at the employee entrance and had to show our IDs. The woman told Matt to drive around to a gate and pick up the phone and tell them who he was and that he was cleared to go to the Music Mill. We pulled around and there was a scary looking gate and a black phone on a pole outside. Matt picked it up and told them his name and the gate opened. We pulled in and it looked trashy and SCARY! Haha! There were random things lying around everywhere and a torn up greenhouse…? We pulled around and parked right next to/underneath the Texas Giant. So as weird as it was back there, we were RIGHT BY the park! It was really pretty nice! We didn’t have to mess with the huge parking lots, or the traffic coming in and out! It was very nice. We got all of the “band gear” and headed into the park to go to where they were playing. We found the place and hung out there for a little while until it was their turn to play. They played for about thirty minutes. They did a really good job and put on a very good show! Unfortunately, there weren’t very many people there at the time. The people who WERE there seemed to really enjoy it though. When they were finished they stood around and talked to some of the people there for a little while then we headed back to the cars to put up their stuff. Here are some pictures of them playing...
Once we got everything put away we went back in to ride some rides! There were long lines so we only had time to ride two rides, but they were my two favorites! The first one we rode was the TITAN! Matt knew where the camera was on that ride, so when we were almost there he said “HERE COMES THE CAMERA!” so we both made goofy faces! As soon as we got off we ran down to the booth to see our pictures. They were pretty ridiculous, haha! It was funny though! After the Titan we walked across the park to BATMAN! That one is my favorite ride. We waited a little longer and rode on the FRONT ROW! It was real fun. The park closed at 7:00pm so after Batman we went ahead and left. We didn’t run into any traffic leaving since we came in the employee entrance! Dave, Matt and I went and ate in Dallas then Matt and I headed back to Gainesville. It was pretty late when we got back so I decided to go ahead and stay the night in Gainesville instead of driving back to Edmond. Since I was staying another night, Matt decided he would do the same. :)
Well now that we are done with football, we start volleyball! I got put on A team even though I really feel like I should be on B team. I am OK at volleyball, but I’m definitely not great! I guess we’ll see how it goes! B team has a game tonight – I’m not sure if I am playing in it or not. I will keep y’all updated on how that goes!
We have Pi banquet this weekend. We are going to the Horse Races! We apparently have a really nice suite that will fit the whole club. They are feeding us a really nice dinner there, and there are TVs all over the room where you can watch the races, and there is a balcony that goes outside to the track where you can watch as well. It sounds like it’s a pretty nice facility so hopefully it will be real fun! We are supposed to dress 1920’s – 1940’s. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I am going to wear. SO, if you have any suggestions (or better yet, clothes that fit that style) let me know ASAP! I need ideas, and quick! Matt is coming in on Friday and is going to go with me. I think it will be a lot of fun! :)
So now I have a really random story. I was talking to someone the other day about old movies and cartoons that we used to watch when we were younger. I mentioned a small part of a show that I used to love. It is really just one song from a show (or maybe a movie, I don’t remember). It was a cartoon with a white bear named Rupert. I don’t know if the show was just called “Rupert” or if there was more to it. I really don’t remember watching the show at all, but here is my memory of it. I was staying the night with our friends Greg and Monnie Ross. I don’t know how old I was, but I was pretty little! They rented this Rupert movie and I don’t remember a bit of it EXCEPT for the “frog song”. I liked the song so much that we kept rewinding it so I could watch it again. Because I liked it so much, Greg found a way to put the song on a tape for me! I remember going home and putting that tape in my tape player and listening to it over and over! I hadn’t thought about that song in years! So anyway, I looked it up today and I found the video clip of the “frog song”! It is by Paul McCartney and is technically called “We All Stand Together”. So anyway, check it out – its pretty funny!
Well that is all I know for now! I have tons of homework to do this week, so I better get back to that! (Real fun, I know!) Ok bye!
