"One of Those"

Today has been a great day, as most of this week has been. It started out a little rough as I missed my internship on Sunday morning, which I still don't know why. I vividly remember setting my alarm, oh well, such is life. Monday came and went with nothing too exciting, but just overall a great day, even though I had a test in PoliSci. I think it went well though. Tuesday I was working on my paper on Kyle Lake's book, Understanding God's Will. A great book I must say and he was such a gifted writer. He had a way of communicating with people, that I believe is unparalleled. Needless to say, I really enjoyed reading not only this book, but also his other book, Re understanding Prayer, which was amazing as well. I just might be becoming "one of those". Yes, one of those people that read for fun. ME! Of all people, can you believe it? I can hardly and I am me! I used to laugh at those people, but alas if there are books out there that are as great as these, then you better get used to the idea of me reading, yes, me reading for fun. Simply for the pleasure of getting caught up in something that blocks out the issues going on in your life. I never imagined I would ever be saying things like this, but I am and not simply this, but I am excited to find a book that captures my attention as Kyle's books did. The search is on...

Back to my week, which was centered (literally) around the concert I have been waiting for since back in June. Wednesday was the day. I woke up at 6:45, went to common grounds and worked on my paper while having an angel's kiss cab. It was quite enjoyable waking up early. I know what you're thinking, Danita is not writing this. Oh how wrong you are though. I really enjoyed waking up and being there before the crowds came and when cg had just opened for the day. Again, I know I am becoming "one of those". Not a morning person exactly, but someone who enjoys the solitude of the morning. The peacefulness of the empty roads, the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the crisp air hitting you as you walk out the door, and the way the day just seems to flow afterward make it all worth while. While sitting on the couch with the computer on my lap and coffee at my side, I had no desire to come back home and get more than 4 hours of sleep. It could have been the excitement of the concert that very night, but for some reason I sincerely doubt it. It was refreshing to be awake and working before most people were even conscious.

I keep "chasing rabbits" as my family always said. A phrase which I never truly understood and still don't, but oh well, not the point. I left there to go to class, which was not nearly as enlightening. When I came home from class, I made sure all of my stuff was together and went to lunch with Juli and her dad to fudruckers, which was fun. Almost as soon as we returned to the house, we were headed to dtown for none other than the Plain White T's concert. I was soo excited about this concert, I bought the tickets the day they started selling them. I am talking wake up early on a Saturday morning to buy them, kind of excited. Yes, I know I have issues. I embrace them, and use them to my advantage. Almost to Dallas and getting more and more excited, Juli and I are jamming out in Clifford while trying to hack our way through rush hour traffic. The phone rings. Daddy is on the other line asking me when the concert starts and if are tickets are assigned seating. I am very confused as to why he needs to know and wandering what he could be thinking. I ask why and some of the greatest words ran through the phones and jumped in my ear and started jumping up and down quite quickly. He had tickets to a pep rally for season ticket holders only at six flags, and the team would be there. Excitement. Thrill. Tension. Worry. All this came like an avalanche, and I started to squeak. Juli was confused, I guess, I should have told her what was going on before I did. While I'm freaking out on the inside mostly, but some on the inside, I am trying to figure out how this would work since our concert was at 7 and the pep rally was at 6:30, and to get the tickets we would have to pick them up from Daddy's office which was a good 30 mi away with the traffic. Poo. We don't have time. I must see Plain White T's. I need to see Dirk and Devin. They miss me, I know they must. But PWT was there and I had the tickets for so long...I have to do both! I asked Juli if she was interested in Six Flags before the concert, to my surprise she said yes! :) We rushed to get the tickets and went to six flags, and rode titan with no line whatsoever. Cool, yes, but the best was after that. We hurried over to the pep rally, and there they are, in all their gorgeousness. It was my day. The heavens opened up and the angels started singing, but not too exuberantly mind you. The rally was almost over, and I'm thinking "no, no, no...I must get closer. they need me to." So...I did. Oh yes, within 10 minutes I was within a foot and a half of Dirk freakin Nowitzki ad Devin freakin Harris. My day, no, my week had been made. I thought the heavens were rejoicing before, nope. They were just humming along, while on a walk probably. The second adorable Devin cam into sight and started coming closer to me, I heard the hallelujah chorus. Oh yes, and then Dirk. Oh Dirk, so hott. He came out and wow. I should have lost my hearing, not from the screaming girls all around me, but the dang angels were so loud. I mean talk about some singing. They have got to have pretty good lungs. All this commotion, and yet we had to leave, but not until they were out of sight. It was a great few seconds. We then headed to the concert with me trying to catch my breath. We walk into the concert (thanks to daddy and his miracle ticketing works) and there it goes again. Stupid breath, what good are you if I keep losing you? Plain White T's, right there in front of me, singing my favorite songs. It was amazing, and then, none other than the best bgf in the world texts me mid song with a lyric from one of their songs, and with perfect timing. Life was just incredible at that moment. I was so blessed. How in the world did I get blessed with a day like this? All I know is I didn't deserve it, but it was one of the greatest days of my life. I hung out with my best friend all day, had my favorite coffee, saw Dirk and Devin UP CLOSE, went to the PWT concert (and got a new shirt and jacket there), had a great bgf moment, saw the rents, and got to have my baby by my side as I fell asleep.

Yesterday went by without anything too exciting. We just came back to Waco, and went to class. I went to lunch with my amazing internship supervisor, Heather, at Ninfa's. I then proceeded to take a 4 hour nap. Not what I had planned to do, but alas I did. oops. Today was great again and it is not as if something extraordinary happened. I just woke up got coffee, went to class, cleaned my room, and met my adopted family from my church. Regardless, it was a very blessed day in my book, even though I don't have a book, well not one that I wrote anyway.

Well, I hope all of your lives are going well. Have a blessed weekend, and remember that I love you! :)
