This was a most interesting and eventful day. I am going to try to type it up in less than five minutes because it is definitely past my bedtime, but this is not something worth waiting until tomorrow to write.
This morning Rae and I went down to Killingworth to pick up Ben and see Gillian, his mum. I wanted to have a few minutes to talk to her and say goodbye before I head back to school on Sunday. We ate banana chocolate chip muffins and I read Time magazine. It was uneventful. We listened to Queen and Relient K on the way home.
Barn this afternoon. Saw lots of fun people. Rode my horse. Yeeeah.
Concert tonight. The See Spot Rock tour.. Sanctus Real, John Reuben, Pillar, Relient K and the OC Supertones. Good stuff. The concert was aMAZing.. RK has really blessed me with their music, and I liked Pillar a lot too. I hadn't really heard their stuff before. Oh and Sanctus Real was fun. I want their CD. Anyway, I am distracted. Back on track now.
After the concert was over, we hung around. We met people from each of the bands inside, and then went outside and talked to them. The guitarist of the Supertones told me where he gets his meatballs. They looked good. We talked about music for a little bit, then one of the crew members invited us inside to help break down the set. It was good. We took lots of pictures, and maybe someday I will put them on this site.
Probably most likely not.
Afterwards silly people tried to start a fight with Ben and Jon but they KNOW BETTER so we just walked away and stopped at McDonald's and I tried not to sleep because I didn't want Erik to feel bad because he didn't get to sleep because he was driving.
But I slept anyway.
I must sleep more now. I had such a good day. One thorn in my side and God removed it. He's so good to me.
P.S. We got 50 points by people waving to us on the way up to Massachusetts. We are just incredibly talented like that; what can I say?

Okay this is what happens when I'm up really late talking to Joshua Davenport online and I'm bored and a little hyper.
I do stupid online quizzes. I thought I would share the results.
Quiz # 1 - What kind of girlfriend are you?
-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
places. Whatever, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.
Quiz # 2 - What kind of smile are you?
You're the loving smile,the one that is entirely
devoted to others,especially that one
person.You really can't get them out of your
head,but then,you don't really want to.
Quiz # 3 - What sign of affection are you? --
I found this one really interesting because it's veryvery true. A little weird.
hand holding - you like to be in constant physical
contact with your special someone but you don't
want to take things too quickly.
Quiz # 4 - How would you kill someone?
Ha. Ha. Ha. That is all I have to say. YeahBengals. ;)
You wouldnt kill even if the circumstances were
life or death.. here's a little something to represent your kind
Quiz # 5 - What DMB song are you?
I love Dave. And this song.
#41
That's all folks. It's about time to call this a night.

Today was a good 'reminding' day. I remembered a lot of things that I'd forgotten in the past couple of days, or weeks, or months. Possibly even years. It was a wake up call day from God, and I needed it. I hated moments of it, but relished it overall (isn't relish a fun word?)
I remembered that mothers are the nicest thing to wake up to.
I remembered that fathers have a way of remembering the small things about you and choosing to do with them what they will. They can completely humiliate you with baby pictures, or sing songs that you thought you had forgotten. They can remember your favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie, or how you used to perform for them in the living room.
I remembered that someone you once loved can change so much that it scares you.
I remembered that when you call your best friend at school screaming your head off about someone who has completely pissed you off, she'll yell back at you and support you and remind you that there's room to grow.
I remembered that cute boys in the AF make good pen pals.
I remembered that there's a reason why I am where I am. God is working everything out for a purpose in my life, and my job is not to work it out for Him. My job is to love Him, and keep my eyes focused on Him. I didn't do that today. It sucked. I wanted to take back every moment that I failed to look into Him, because those were the moments that were chaff -- they will blow away in the end. Perhaps they already have.
I remembered that people who have known you for almost nine years have a way of loving you that other people can't understand, because they've seen you grow. They've let you grow. You've let them grow, and you've had your separate times, and now you're together. Stronger than ever. Those times in freshman/sophomore year where you were alienated and forgot why you were intensely friends fade in the glory of a beautiful, maturing friendship.
I remembered that horses are most definitely better than boyfriends for exactly 99 reasons.
I remembered that little-sisters-who-are-almost-twins have a way of brightening up a day. You can play silly songs on the piano while they accompany you on the violin, and sing stupid songs to them in their bedroom, and have them jump in with 110%. They watch crime shows with you and check their buddy lists when they're online to make sure that no one that you really really really need to talk to is on without you knowing it.
I remembered that childhood is all about faith and makebelieve. The Angerosa kids have this way of just loving and believing and cherishing that teaches me so much every time I hang out with them. Olivia is 6 and Dominick is 5, and I went over to their house today just to play for an hour or so. We played house and made a "Days Until Sarah Comes Back" chart, so they can count down the days until I get to see their bright, shining faces again. There's nothing like pulling into a driveway, the wind in your hair and Jeremy Camp playing loudly, and seeing two little Italian kids sitting on the grass, awaiting your arrival. Nothing like bear hugs from a five year old boy, and sweet popcorn kisses from a six year old girl.
Nothing.
I love days of remembering. Even if they sting a little, there's so much to get out of them that I would never wish one away.

Yeah it's been a while since I updated. But you know what? I'm on SPRING BREAK.
I won't bother with updating the past few days, but they've been good. Bible study at the boys' apartment last night. That was nice. I've talked to Matt every night on the phone -- having him in the AF right now scares the heck out of me. A lot of heck.
Quote from the Bible study ----> "I haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been this whole time? Haiti?" - Curtis
Yeah Curtis. Haiti. ;)
Today I spent all morning at the barn with Spot. Lots of good bonding time. I miss him so much. I rode for a long time and worked up a good sweat. It was nice.
I picked Henry up at the McDonald's down the street from the high school and we drove to Derby to look for Jesse M. We stopped at a different McDonald's to grab something to eat, then picked Jesse up at his high school. We drove around for a while -- got ice cream, visited Annie -- and just talked. I miss those guys a lot. I wish I had more time when I was home to spend with them. Last summer was fun.. I'm afraid this summer is going to be crazy busy and we won't get to hang out very much.
Tonight I spent watching TV and laughing with my mom. Mommy fixed me spaghetti for dinner and rubbed my back. It's soo good to be home. I love being able to sleep at weird hours of the day and have them know my favorite foods and dancing in my sister's room while singing songs very badly at the top of my lungs. There's no place like home. At all.
Plus I got to talk to Em for like five minutes tonight. How cool is that?
I have to be up early in the morning, so I'm turning in. *blows kisses* Love you all.
