Excitement and Braces

  Two totally opposite things for my title, eh?  XD

  So, I am really excited for a couple things right now, and here they are:

50 Followers
  As you can probably tell, I'm at 47 followers right now!  :D  EEP!  If you could PLEASE spread the word that I'm trying to get to 50 followers and comment linking the post you "advertised" for me in, I will give you a shout-out on my blog!  So please help me?  ;]

Camera
  Okay, so this is extremely exciting!  I am officially starting to save up for my Canon Rebel t3 as of yesterday.  :D  I saw Bobert {that's the T3's name} at Target yesterday, and I love him so dang much.  <3  So, my mom said it would be a good idea when my birthday comes around, ask only for money and not for gifts so I can get my camera and a lens!  WOOT!  :D  And if I save up enough money from birthday and Christmas, I will be getting a Canon Rebel t3i instead!  :O  YAY!  I think his name will be Bobert, too, or Boberto!  XD

YouTube
  I'm already excited to get my YouTube in November.  XD  If you didn't know this, I love making doll videos.  Yep, I'm a proud owner of four American Girl dolls.  :]

Just Plain Ol' Being Excited
  I'm just so excited that it's summer and I'll be going on vacation pretty soonish here.  :]

  So, I have a lot to be excited about, quite obviously!  XD  I'm just very happy right now, for the most part.  ;]

  The one part that makes me unhappy?  I got rubber bands for my braces.  -.-  They KILL.  XP  Look them up if you don't know what I'm talking about.  Yeah.  They stink.

  But anyways, here's a picture to make you content:

Brace Face and a SURPRISE! :O

  Yes, I got my braces today.  :P  They don't hurt going on {it's not all that bad, actually, just takes a long time and there's a lot of chair going up, chair going down, rinse, repeat.  XD}, but they hurt after.  They were hurting badly during school!  :(  They're a bit better now, after a frozen chai latte from the coffee shop {these things are heaven in a cup}.  :D

Chai :)

  ANYWHO!  I'm sure you're all wanting to hear about the surprise, right?!  Well, no more waiting!  I am doing . . .

  Hope you enter!

Honor Band and Braces

  I've been practicing for something pretty important lately, and that thing is honor band.  It's this Saturday, and I'll have to have chair placement.  What's that, you ask? Well, I go into a room with just me and a judge {or judges} and I play through three scales {two scales of my choice and one octave of the chromatic scale}, and then play though all of my music.  Then I will be put in a chair, first, second, third, etc.  So, PLEASE pray for me!  I am really worried because, although I must say that I do really like it and am pretty good {not to brag, sorry if it seems like it}, I know there are a lot of AMAZING musicians in my state.

One of my songs!  :D  This one's really fun and quite difficult, and I like it A LOT.  <3

  I'm really excited, though!  Only one problem.  I'll have SPACERS for the performance . . . and I would've only had them since that Thursday.  I really hope these don't affect my playing too much, I'd be practicing a lot for nothing! :{P  {HE HAS A MUSTACHE!}

  I am extremely thankful, though, that I won't have my BRACES for the performance!  I'm getting my braces on the 26th, AKA in two weeks and two days. {Ha!  Two two's! XD}  Please pray it won't be too painful.  ;)
