I just had some fun playing around with Blogger's new Designer feature. I even changed my blog a little, nothing too major though.
I just got back from Krystal's Senior Music Awards. It was awesome! I ended up teary eyed many times. There are seniors who give a final solo. And their parents introduce them. So this one kid's, Aaron's, parents went up there and it was so cute, his dad could barely talk because he was crying so hard. And then Aaron went up and hugged him. During his intro, his mom said a few Christian-y things, and then said he would be singing "Here I Go Again," by Casting Crowns. I'm pretty sure I've heard the song once or twice but not enough for me to fully recognize it. Tears were streaming down my face, it was so touching. It was actually slightly encouraging for me. The song, I mean.
So my sister had a brunch thing for work today. Afterward, she came to pick me up from camp. As soon as we got home, my mom asked her why her eyes were glassy, and come to find out, she had drank around 1:30. So she had come and got me at the risk of getting caught drinking and driving by the police. Or getting in an accident. My mom said if she had known she was drinking and driving, she wouldn't have allowed her to come get me, and I wouldn't have wanted her to. She's had to pay almost 1,000 in various speeding tickets. She's beginning to scare me with her reckless actions. My mom said she lies constantly, and is always yelling at them. I think there's more of our biolgical mom in her than she would like to admit. Sigh.
Being home, and at camp, has put me back in touch with my roots. Today, while me and another staff member were painting, we listened to country music, and it made me kind of miss it. And then seeing all the cows, and smelling the cow manure. There really is no place like home. For me, at least.
Tomorrow is my mom and dad's 12 year anniversary. I think I am going to give them money to go out to dinner. They deserve some time to themselves.
Mmk, I'm outta here.
