Wow! This has been a crazyyyyy weekend!! It all started Saturday at the Relay for Life where my A Capella group: Scattertones performed and participated for a bit. I was able to sing the solo for Taking Chances which was a lot of fun. Our group unfortunately lost a member this year to cancer so we are always inspired by Brooks Paul! WE LOVE YOU!!!
So we started on the road around 5pm and stopped at the weird Dinosaur park. Yes Dinersaur not Dinosaur. The boys in our A Capella group were so excited for this adventure that the girls had to give in. It was around 8pm and we saw these Dinosaur statues and that was it. They had a great time so I guess it was worth it. Hahah ;] We then stopped at "Mad Greece" which was the only restaurant for miles in Baker. The food was decent for being in the middle of no where! Alexander!! I got the most healthy thing on the menu (but for this food that is not saying much)! ahaha OH side note! I also went swimming before we left in order to enjoy the rest of my day and not worry about working out ;] When we got to the hotel we immediately crashed because we had to wake up at 7am for the long day ahead.
We got to the MGM around 930 and checked in and directly headed to the dressing room. We began with the dress rehearsal and on the way over we saw Reba and she threw us a quick "How yall doing?" AHH she is so amazing! I love her! We then performed with Taylor who gave us a quick hello before she was whisked away to her dressing room. Then we were able to watch the rest of the dress rehearsal where we saw Carrie Underwood cry after her performance of "Temporary Home." She has such an amazing voice; her performance was perfect. We then ate lunch and started getting ready for the show. There was quite some downtime so I was able to finish an essay I had due that Monday! We were able to get our hair and make-up done by the professionals ;] and then sat in our seats for the show. It was such an enormous theater; I was just astounded. The first time I walked into the theater, I started tearing up. Hopefully in the future I'll be the one performing!!! We then quickly headed on stage and sang at the exhilarating performance. Afterwards we were lucky enough to watch the rest of the performance.
After the show we were heading back to a restaurant when we got a phone call: YOU ARE INVITED TO THE AFTER PARTY! Ahhhhh It was so exciting. It was like another concert all over again but up close and personal. We were able to see Gretchen Wilson who is undeniable one of the BEST country singers EVER. I have never been so amazed and starstruck!
We then headed out around 12 to get back at 5am! I then went to my 11am class (waking up at 9am to finish my essay) and headed out with the rest of my day. Conclusion: Craziest weekend EVER!
Honestly life has been so crazy lately. I have not had a free weekend in I don't event remember when! 2 trips to Vegas in one week? Unbelievable. Now I am heading off to Fresno this weekend. Sometimes I don't even understand how I keep up with everything, but I do it somehow and I absolutely love it! Being busy thrills me :] Going back to Fresno: I am SOOO excited for this weekend. I finally will be able to bond with all the wonderful, beautiful and talented girls. This will be such a different experience being a Miss and I can't wait! Well now I'm off to finish reading some articles for my Stem Cell Research class which is FINALLY getting interesting. Yesterday we had a heated debate and of course I was the liberal fighter! And then after 3B (calc bc) I'm off to the gym! bye for now
