I think I'm more willing to sit down and write for myself when I have millions of other things I should be doing. That's why it's taken me until now, the night before hell week, to sit down and write about the lovely Thanksgiving break that I had this past week.
I made it to Carrollton in good time on Tuesday night, and arrived back here in Waco around 11 PM today. Filled with fun, family, friends, and food, this week was fairly fantastic. I was able to catch up on some sleep, ignore most of my schoolwork, and spend time with some amazing people. With both parents working on different days throughout the week, we celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday so Mom could cook, and enjoyed the wondrous leftovers throughout the rest of the week. She acted surprised when Grant and I demolished the sweet potato casserole by Sunday - really?! With food that delicious, no wonder it was history by the time I had to leave.
I was also able to make a recording with the help of my dad. Over the course of two days, I was able to make a decent base piano recording, and from there we just had fun. Dad sang, I sang, Grant sang, Grant played the clarinet, and I played the bass guitar. Our final version consisted of me on piano and bass guitar, and maybe over the break we'll add more layers as we come up with more ideas. I can't wait to record another song! If you want to hear it:
Now all I have to do is get through the next two and a half weeks, and then I will be Minnesota-bound for the Christmas holiday. I can't wait!
