Just another night with my family

Well I have had a busy few days... Last night I was able to attend a simply beautiful french horn recital. One of my very dear friends gave her senior performance, and I am always amazed at how effortless it seems for her to play that instrument. Maybe even more so because she happens to have asthma so she has to work twice as hard to play it. Afterwords her mother held a little reception and it was nice to meet more of her family. She talks about them ALL the time, so it was nice to put some faces to the names she talks about.

Tonight I was able to attend a Latin Requiem Mass, and it was done beautifully. There is no better way to spend an evening than attending and being part of something so, in every sense of the word, awesome.

Now I am just sitting here in my living room in my pj's... I feel so relaxed after that Mass that there is nothing major really going on in my head like normal. My dad is watching the movie, National Treasure a few feet away from me. My mom is going through all her new pro-life posters and such for the church bulletin. Every few seconds my dad is calling to me to turn down my music...the music is hardly audible to begin with, and it just makes me giggle that my dad can hear it when he is usually so good at tuning other things out. My mom calls is selective listening... My mom is trying to have me look at each poster as she holds it up. "Look at this, Teresa. Isn't this just somethin?" and of course I answer, "Yes, Mom. It really makes you think." It kind of makes me laugh. Between those two things I am even more distracted from pondering...

Well the fact that I blogged about my distractions shows just how I have nothing to really write about. Instead I think it will be a better idea for me to get off and focus my attention on my parents, or more specifically my mother, since she has been trying to get if ever since I sat down to use the computer... Oh, I love my family. :)
