A symphony and other excitement!

Hey everyone! I'm still here, just very busy with life around here....schoolwork, music lessons/practice, church, and helping out at home.  Sounds repetitive, but this weekend I will be getting a break from the usual routine around here.  Tomorrow, I will be going with my dad to go pick up my brother from college....he is on Fall break.  I am so excited as I might to get to practice some of my driving, plus I will get to see the college campus as well.....yay !  And yes, lol, I will be glad to see my big brother too!

Saturday night will be some more excitement for me, something I've never gotten to do before......attend a symphony concert!My piano teacher had an extra ticket for a symphony concert and asked me if I could go.  Mom and dad said it was ok, so I will be getting to go, yay !  She will first take me to dinner with her, then we will go to the concert.  We will be getting to hear Brahms’ First Symphony, opening with three popular melodies taken from larger works, including the famous opening strains of Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and the mystical Overture to Carl Maria von Weber’s Romantic opera Der Freischütz. Also included in the program is the Love Scene from Berlioz’s large-scale “dramatic” symphony, Romeo and Juliet.  I'm soooooo excited, I can hardly wait !  This is going to be so much fun!

Other excitement around here.......my mom is going to have a baby!  Yes, you read that right, I am going to be a big sister again, wonderful isn't it?!  I am secretly hoping this baby will be a boy, lol, you can't blame since I already have two sisters.  But we'll see.  Right now, my sisters and I have pretty much had to take over things and help out my mom more than usual.  She has been sick some and very tired as well, but she says she will be getting to feeling better pretty soon and have her energy back.  Until then we help out with things like cooking supper.  Last week, on my night, I was making homemade pizza when I got carried away with the flour, lol, it kind of poofed everywhere  all over me and the counter.  So, it's been an adventure around here, lol!
