Some lovely things happened yesterday! First of all I got to spend some time with Autumn. My mom and I went to Bath and Body works and took her along... you wouldn't believe the attention I got! Out of the billions of people who were crowded into the little shop, I believe almost all of them wanted to see her. She fell asleep on my shoulder as I carried her through the store and I felt incredibly special. Of course, I had to tell everyone that she wasn't mine... which made me want one of my own... my time will come.
Second of all... we got a new couch from Adam's mother! It's a lovely thing and looks great in our very small living room. Beats the $100 Futon couch that we bought at Target. Adam is actually kind of sad that both won't fit. But I told him we didn't have to throw the futon away... we could store it at my parents until we got a bigger place. We loved pulling it out when we watched TV because it was like watching TV in bed! They don't go together though, and would have looked awful in the same room as far as I was concerned... me being the perfectionist that I am I wasn't going to have mis-matched furniture!!
Later in the evening we met my family at Bangkok House (Thai food... yum yum) and ate together. The owners love me and love to come speak Thai with me. It's so much fun, and I love the Thai people. Sweet people... and although I don't go eat there as much as I want to, (every few months) they always remember my name. I had my favorite massamun curry. I crave that stuff all of the time. The sad thing about going to a Thai restaurant and speaking Thai is that I realize I am getting really rusty. I need to practice speaking/reading/writing the language more. I need to add that to the list of things I would do if I had more time. Actually, I need to MAKE the time to do that.
After the delicious Thai food we went to the Christmas Collage Concert at UK... the best concert of the year (or so I've decided). My big little brother Seth (He is about 6'6") is in the UK choir and so he was part of the splendor. There was also a bell choir. I used to be in one of those when I was in elementary school!!! Brought back memories... Also part of the concert was a children't chorus, a steel band, a saxaphone quartet (which I really loved), a woodwind quartet, and others. It was a wonderful concert. It didn't put me to sleep. I stayed wide awake! Beautiful music. Nothing puts me in the mood more than music does. The last number was appropriate... they all sang Silent Night. As the song approached closing, the lights were dimmed to darkness and a few of the choir members held up lights. (either a candle or lighter) It made it look like stars twinkling in a dark sky and it made me think of the night so long ago when Christ was born. What a silent and holy night that must have been.
