Well a WONDERFUL Abilene weekend come and gone.
Shower
We had Camille's girly shower this weekend which was so fun! I love being a girl and I love when tons of girls are in the same room at the same time and get to act like girls! This shower was so great b/c everyone we love or have impacted and been apart of Camille's life were there..(minus a few we knew who wouldn't be coming in for sing song which were missed) It was a great start for a great weekend! Of course I loved decorating it with pink and green and polka-dots!
Siggies/Sing Song
I will not go into all the Sing Song drama go read...Austin...Cassie..and Jen's blogs and you will know exactly what happened and pretty much how I feel about it all as well!
I will not lie, though I probably was a little too emotional about the whole event. I'm not sure if it's a problem that the little penguins brought tears to my eyes not once but multiple times through out the night ...the first time was when they opened their little orange beaks and began to sing and they ROCKED the stage and then the second time was when I saw all them walking down the hall with awful looking sing song faces after the shock of the results...I took the results a little too personal at first, VOCALS ....give us fourth in costumes...or originality...or props (which were all amazing as well) but VOCALS that was ridiculous and it hurt my stomach to see the girls after that announcement that's what we work the most on and feel the best about and are good at. They all handled it so well which made me so proud to be a siggie and proud of them! Our girls knew they had a GREAT show and knew they didn't need the judges to prove that to them...they worked hard and had great attitudes. I loved what our sponsor Linda Wallace said on the scene before the show.."our girls prepare in a unique way for this show" and that's true and that's why we can win or loose and still be ok! No one will understand that though except us and that's fine! I love Sing Song.... I love Sing Song Face ...and I love Siggies!
Sunday sadness
It's so sad when everyone has to leave. I love Kenli's blog about Abilene and ACU and how fabulous it is and how great it will be to come back year after year. I know I'm from Abilene so it's a little different for me but I am out in the real world now and get to go "home" to Abilene and I love it! I was sad to leave and sad not to be able to see all my friends more. I wish we could all live in the same city again...... and have fun themed parties.....and stay up late and skip class (not work)....and go to clyde's pizza...and eat cookie monsters every night...and go to intramural games for hours every night plus a ton of other things as well! But I do love life after college and I do love the friends I have here in Austin...so I wasn't sad for a long time just a little! I'm ok with the reunions at Sing Song and Homecoming and random others in between...they get me rejuvenate until the next!
What a GREAT weekend of friends and memories!!!
