OKAY. So yesterday I woke up at 8 and was at the school by 11:00 for rehearsals. Awesome I must say. And that was just the rehearsal. Then we headed back up the hill to get my dress and stuff..then went out to eat at Don Pericos. I waited a few hours to get ready at Stephanies...and my hair turned out perfectly!! Then... my necklace fell apart. o_0 (the flower one in my background)..so D.J superglued it back together lol..while he was ironing his shirt..and there was black stuff on the iron so his white shirt got all dirty. :( haha..i told him just to go to the laundry mat and dry the wrinkles out but NO he had to be stubborn.. SO we arrived at the school at 5:30. I was number 14 in the senior division... It came to my turn.. All you could see was my leg sticking out of the curtain as the music for At Last started. With the intro, my left arm came out and went up in the air and came back down slowly. Then my left arm came next. And as I sang "Aaaaat laaaaaaaaaast" I came out and just..had all the stage presence...I felt like I was living in the forties! ...then at the very end, i turned side ways to the audience and brought my hand up in the air, then turned around to the audience and sang one last "Aaaat laaaast." brought my hand up and when the music ended, my hand and head dropped......wooooooo.. I won 1st place!!!!! I've never came alive on stage like that. It was truely my night. Everything came together. Im just so................humbled and delighted!.. *exhales* i love it. A man came up to me... to make a long story short, I'll be in the studio soon doing compelation with about 7 other people in the Kern Valley, and sell the CD for the 50th anniversary at Whiskey Flat Days next year. Things are gonna be picking up soon. I'm just in awe. Like it's not happening... ___________________________________________ Mom and Aaron just test drove the car.
