A horse, of course...

Yay my voice is almost all the way back! I can't sing and I'm still slightly horse but that's ok at least I can talk again!!!

Tonight was clogging practice...the last time that it will be on Tuesday. From now on, we're doing clogging lessons from 6-7:30 for all the different classes... then team practice is from 7:30 - 8:30 or 9. It actually is probably a lot easier on Teresa... but I'm going to miss having clogging twice a week, especially since I got to see Seth sometimes on both nights. Now, it'll only be one night a week period. :( Well I guess that isn't a reason I should complain about it. ;) But it won't be much fun! :P

Well that's about all the interesting stuff I have to write about tonight (yea real intriguing right? haha) I'll leave you with this New Years survey...

7. What date(s) from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Valentine’s Day ~ It was the first Valentine’s day that I’ve ever celebrated with Seth! <3 (the year before we had just started going back out, so we didn’t do anything) ... um... Spring Break, and the choir winning national grand champions at the competition in Washington DC... The Prom! I had a wonderful time... June 3, I graduated high school ... July when our youth group went to the National LCMS youth gathering in Orlando ... Christmas Eve, Seth got to come over and spend that evening with me and my family...

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? I don’t know...
