Pomp and Circumstance

It's only fitting that amongst all the Pomp and Circumstance of the day, that it is the song of the day! Today we had Josh's graduation party. We ate so many of his favorite foods and I'm still stuffed! I can't believe that my little bubbie has successfully completed high school! Congrats to the Canyon High School "Ones"! (That's what they call themselves as the class of '11). At the graduation they played the classic song as the students walked down the football field. It always reminds me of the girlscout reindeer song to the tune.... my reindeer flies sideways, she's better than yours, my reindeer can cha-cha, she can open up doors". But nevertheless, I feel old now, Disneyland tommorow to celebrate, Josh moves off to college in 2 months, and the party was a success!

"Do-do do do do do
Do do do do doooooo
do do do do do duh duh
duh duh duh duh do do"

Oh, Happiness

Today felt like a blog writing sort of day. But I didn't have a specific song in mind. I really wanted to write about my day so far so i just decided to let itunes pick a song. Needless to say, the song I chose was not selected by my itunes. A David Crowder Band song started to play and I decided to stick with them for 3 reasons. I picked my favorite song from them that perfectly describes me, Oh, Happiness. So first, DC*B its because they just announced their last tour as a band. They are working on their last CD right now, and although that is kind of sad, it also makes me think of all the time I was fortunate enough to see them in concert. And how every time I wanted to pet David's beard. But they have great worship songs that are unlike any other because I feel like I can worship by dancing to their songs. The hand motions we learned to "No One Like You" and the do-si do-ing to "I Saw the Light" and the list goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.... David Crowder Band truly has an amazing gift that I'm so glad they shared with us.
The second reason I have a lot of happiness is today, I go to film my scenes for a webseries. Some people from my school held auditions, and now I can say that it was definitely worth waking up early and auditioning a couple weeks ago. I was 'Flabby Abby' who isn't so flabby anymore. And besides just getting through all my lines, I really enjoyed it. I love being in front of a camera. Although my dog would bark and ruin shots, it was fun filming at my house! The hardest part? acting while being cross-eyed! The best part? Officially being SAG eligible! Now if I could somehow find the money to join the most expensive and exclusive acting union.....
And finally, before this blog becomes a long rant, I will say that I am full of joy and Happiness because I have a Heavenly Father who loves me! That doesn't need much explanation. I was blessed with the acting opportunities, I am blessed with ears to hear music, and I am blessed with my wonderful family. We have food on the table and a roof over our heads so I have every reason to be happy. Be happy, don't worry! :)

"Oh, happiness
There's grace enough for us
And the whole human race
All regrets
Let go, forget
There's something that
Mends all of it"
