Singing

I think this weekend turned out to be a very great weekend. Br. Dan and I went to the International Food Festival down at St. John's, which had some really great food, then I ended up at the volunteers house for some pizza. It was a great time visiting with them, which included all sorts of different topics, from beers to music, to working out, and even practice for the GRE. I think I should keep in mind the fact that I am going to have to take the GRE soon for when I go back to school to get my masters. Saturday was also my grandmother's birthday. My grandmother is in her mid 80's and is still going. I am so thankful that her and my grandfather are still alive and praying for me and my vocation. However, I am kind of jealous that she had some really great seafood for her birthday that ended up being all free like lobster and crabs and crabs claws. Makes me miss the south really bad.

I am in the choir at St. Daniel's and we sang this morning at there 10 a.m Mass. I enjoyed it so much today, I was super happy singing today. We did a lot of great songs that really show the dynamics of all out voices and even though they were tough, it turned out really beautiful. It makes me happy that Amanda, our choir director, gives us a huge smile after we finished. It was great. One of the ladies in the choir also made me some fudge, which is almost gone. It is so good and she made it for me because I told her that I loved it. I also went and sang at Le Moyne tonight, but singing there I find is a lot harder. I am more afraid of screwing up at Le Moyne, then I am at St. Daniel's. I think it is because when we rehearse we don't do it in parts like we do at St. Daniel's. At St. Daniel's Amanda works with each of the 4 parts so we know our parts and get them down. I just like to sing and it just brings me so much joy especially seeing the smiles on everyone's faces after we finish!
