Gives a Lovely Light

This week has been so wonderfully busy! It wasn't the usually stressful busyness.

Monday and Tuesday were filled with the normal classes.

Wednesday was...interesting. My friend Elisha is an International Business and Arabic major. A few years ago, he started a little Arabic music ensemble and asked me to be the piccolo/flute player. Wednesday we performed for the Alabama Federation for Music Clubs. AKA: A bunch of old ladies that know A LOT about music.

Thursday was so exhausting! First I had symphony band, then I taught a private lesson. After all that we had a woodwind ensembles concert which I bailed on immediately following the flutes' performance. After that, Frank and I went to a birthday party.

Friday I worked in the morning and then had rehearsal at the usual time. That night, Elisha took me to the St. Elias Lebanese Food and Culture Festival. Lots of fun!



I left the festival to get to a double date with my little sorority sister and her boyfriend. We watched "Up in the Air" and had spaghetti.

TODAY. WAS. FANTASTIC. Frank and I participated in the Bromberg's Diamond Dash in search for this...

...A $15,000 Ritani diamond ring! We didn't win, but we had a blast searching for it!

Now I'm taking a break from cleaning the apartment and waiting for Frank to get home from work. We're watching 2012 in HD tonight! I hope next week is equally fabulous.

My candle burns at both its ends;
It will not last the night;
But oh, my foes, and oh, my friends --
It gives a lovely light.
