Big Dreams and Reminiscing

So, I've had this secret dream...well, maybe not so secret depending on who you are.... of being in a band. I am not really the "get up in front of people and perform" type of person, but everytime I go to a concert of any sort I always think that they look like they are having so much fun and I would love to be able to do that. A couple of weeks ago I went to a Colors "reunion" concert with a bunch of friends and family. I have always loved these guys and their music since I was introduced to them my freshman year, but watching them perform this last time just reaffirmed what a blast they were having up there on the stage. I think maybe I associate a lot of good times and memories with concerts and combining that with my love of music, well, maybe that's where my desire to be in a band comes from. Plus this last week, I got in the mail a CD that my friend Meesh talked about on her blog. I like their music quite a bit but I'll admit that it was the name of their group that convinced me I had to buy their CD. Who can pass up a CD from a group called "The Waillin' Jennys". I should definitely be a part of that group.

And a little more about the Colors concert...... Going to that concert was such a blast (even at 37 weeks pregnant) and brought back such a flood of memories. I truly have been blessed by the people I have met throughout my life. I love that so many of us still stay in touch and are such good friends. And, I love looking back and thinking of all of the good times that I had with so many people. In the words of Summer J, here is a little "shout out of love" to everyone. Thank you for being my friend.
