My best friend, Amber, (who I am going to see in 10 days!) got ENGAGED yesterday!!! I got the news via voice mail message, and of course, when I tried to call her back to get the FULL story, IT WAS BUSY! :( Congrats you guys! Can't wait to talk to you and see you!

Weekend Recap
What a great, fun, busy weekend. So much happened this weekend, that I can't believe I got it all in.

Friday we had the Fall Fling at school. I hung out there with some students till about 6 then took off home to rest for about 30 mins before setting up for the concert at Basement Coffeehouse . Friends of mine, Josh, Jonathan, and Andrew played at the coffeehouse that night. It was a packed house. My friend Amy had come down from Northern VA so after the concert we headed off to my house. We stayed up waaay to late chatting.

Saturday I was awaken suddenly by the telephone. Cassidy was in town from Baltimore, and Amy and I had planned on meeting up with her for lunch. We all met at the Brown Bean Cafe which is a quaint little place in Danville. Lunch was yummy and we capped it off with the delicious desserts they offer! It was nice to see Cass since it had been so long. After lunch, Amy and I ran some errands then went down by the river to play our guitars. It was tons of fun playing with the river rushing in the background. We played till the sun started going down and our hands were to cold to strum anymore. When we got to the river, there were TONS of people around. When we left, no one was still there. Hope it wasn't our playing and singing!

That night was Jen's bday party. It was soooo much fun. My favorite part was sitting around the livingroom singing to favorite bluegrass music. I think I have found someone that competes w/ me at the title of biggest Nickel Creek fan! Mary Graydon is quite the fanatic! It was fun talking to someone that knew all about their music! Later that night, we had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline, swinging on this great tree swing, and sitting around the campfire roasting marshmellows, watching the lunar eclipes, and looking at the digital pictures that Ryan took of the fire. I swear I saw a rabid crawling lizzard, and a big grizzly in the pics of the fire!

Yesterday I woke up and went to church but left a little early to meet up with Cassidy before she headed back to Baltimore. After that long weekend, I came home, wrapped up in my pillows and blankets on the floor, popped in the movie LadyHawk, and fell asleep within 5 minutes. Love those Sunday afternoon naps!
Maliah came home from visiting her dad in Charlotte, so her and I hung out the rest of the evening. I couldn't resist! I went ahead and gave her the Nemo video! She was sooo excited! I think it's a baaad idea for me to go Christmas shopping early!

Great music. Great friends. Great weekend!

Great New Artists
Josh lent me the Jill Paquette cd and woow, That girl can play the guitar beautifully! It's been a while since I've found a girl musician that can play such intricate things on the guitar. Also a very sweet pretty voice. Check out the new CD Here
Also finally picked up the new Silers Bald Cd. Love the hammer dulcimer! More about them later.
