MoTab and such

Since I had to work the day of the MoTab concert we got a little late start heading to Red Rocks. We did however make it there with plenty of time. Once we got into the area for parking I noticed that the brakes on my car were screeching rather loudly. Fabulous, almost 80 miles from home. Two of my three brothers were in Idaho for the week dirtbiking and the other still at work. I chose to not worry about it and have faith that we would get home safe when the time came. So after we parked we discovered we had a trek ahead. I had never been to the Red Rocks venue so I had no idea what was in store. After walking up a hill I noticed that there was a massive amount of steps that had to be climbed. Are you freaking kidding me?! We had to stop every other set to take a breather. These were not regular steps oh no, they were a little bit more steep then normal stairs. Once we got to the top we looked at out tickets and thank goodness we were in row 17. We climbed the last few steps and victory we were at out seats. After a brief rest I went to the food stand and got us some food. Not fabulous but whatever. Once the concert started my eyes were glued. I discovered that this concert was going to be awesome and there were going to be tears. One of the best things is that President Thomas S. Monson was there. Wow was that awsome.

All the songs that they performed were wonderful but when they started singing Come Thou Fount, I really kida lost it. That is one of my favorite songs. I love singing it because being a first soprano and getting to sing those high notes is what I live for. I feel like I am a bird and flying as high as possible. It makes my spirit soar. My heart flutters and emotions flow.

When it came time to leave the trip to the car wasn't as annoying as the trip up. I guess it was because it was downhill. When we got to my car I said a little silent prayer to get us home or at least somewhere close to it. We made it home. But I could slam on the brakes so I had to be extra careful with my driving. The next day I had to take my moms Jeep to work and she took Dustins truck. I called B.J., the brother who was home and asked if he could check my brakes. I had to carpool with Amy on Wednesday and Thursday. She works 7-4 and I 8-5. I of course had to come in early. Getting up an hour earlier is not fun when you had play rehearsal until close to ten the night before and not getting to bed until well after eleven. On Wednesday I was tired, not having a good day. Found out a friend got engaged, one had a baby and another started dating someone, and found out I had to get new brakepads and rotors on my car. I was done with the day. I just wanted it to be over. I went to bed fairly early. Woke up around 11 wondering why the neighbors were still lighting off fireworks. I was ticked off. I was cold so I decided to shut my window only to discover the that "fireworks" noise was actually rain. Whatever. On Thursday night I gave my brother a blank check to get the parts. By Thursday night I had my car back. yeah. Friday morning I was able to sleep in.

Since my mom had an appointment to get a pedicure out at Centerra I decided to drop her off and then go shopping. I got my Jonas Brothers 3D movie and then headed over to Bath and Body works to buy Amy's birthday present. We were going to see a movie after she was done but we changed out minds. We went out shopping later.

On Saturday we went to B.J.'s house for a BBQ/Birthday party. It was fun. Then the raiin came pouring down. Never in my life has the Loveland fireworks display been cancelled but with the heavy rain it was looking like it just might happen. NO!!!! We all went home for a bit, Zoey needed a nap. She decided to come to our house to take her nap. After her chocolate milk she was out. Around 6 we went back to B.J.'s to wait out the rain and hope that the fireworks were still on. At 8pm the rain had stopped and the sun was trying to peek out. Yes, we all got in the truck and headed toward Lake Loveland and found our spot to watch the fireworks. After that we went back to B.J.'s and lit off some just for us. Well B.J. being the pyro we all know and love bought a balck cat thing a few years ago before Zoey was born. He figured that since it was so wet and people were still leaving the park and such we were safe. Oh and the neighbors were lighting off was more illegal fireworks then us. He lit it and it was off. It was loud and almost never ending. Well one part came near us and Zoey being just cute and have to laugh said," oh S#$%" yup loud and clear. It was a good ending to the week.
