Rambling

So, my niece is graduating tomorrow and it will be huge event with more family than I can keep track of and the promise of a long but fun night ahead of me. We have been preparing now for several weeks as we are doing the reception ourselves. We are using the lawn at my church because it will be an outside party. The guys have spent the last week putting up hundreds of lights and setting up tents. I saw it last night and it was amazing to look at. Today and tomorrow the decorations go up and tomorrow night the festivities begin. There will be tons of people, great food, music, and dancing (yeah!!). I am really looking forward to this, as you might have already guessed. My niece is really looking forward to this, especially after finishing Physics and Trigonometry. It finally hit her the other day that she is about to enter the realm of adulthood, which she says is scary, but I'm sure she will be fine. It's better to head into life with a little bit of caution than to fling yourself into everything without any thought of what you are doing.
What else is going on in my world? Hmm. My performance schedule seems to be getting larger every day. My group is hopefully going to record this summer and our calendar has already started filling for next year. Between me playing for my kids' choir and performing in my group I will have almost 30 performances in the next 5 weeks. Boy, that should be interesting. You know the worst thing about performing? Getting dressed up. I'm not a girly-girl anyway, and having to wear dress clothes at least 4 out of every 5 weekdays is just not my style. But, oh well, there could be worse things in life, so I won't complain. Okay, I'm reading back over this post and I'm noticing that I'm pretty much rambling about nonsensical things. Maybe I should stop now. Ya, I definitely think I will. Until next time.

*About Me* I have: two grandmothers and one step-grandmother, one grandfather and one step-grandfather, five aunts, five uncles, one step-uncle, fourteen cousins, two step-cousins, twelve second cousins, one niece and one nephew!!!!!! Oh, and there are a few family members that I have never met due to their late addition to the family, but I can't keep track of all them. My family is huge! Family get-togethers are something like those in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". When my sisters and I went to the theater to watch that we were laughing so hard we were crying because we could relate so well to everyone in the movie. Almost every character on the screen represented someone on our family. Granted, we aren't as crazy as all that, but. . . We could certainly hold our own in a competition for total zaniness.
