I feel like it's been a really long time since I posted. So here I am.
Wednesday night was fabulous. Tiffany came over, hung out, and then we went to the Thompson Square concert together. AMAZING. I'm kinda obsessed with them ever since that night. Concert called Sara during "I Got You"! The missing piece that makes me fit :) Bahaha I love that girl.
Thursday I had a doctors appointment in Sandy in the morning, then we went to lunch up there, came back to see the Tour of Utah bikers go down University. Then my father and I packed up and went to go check into our hotel in Downtown SLC. We were spending the night up there for our last getaway before school starts. We rode the new TRAX line to West Valley that night, had dinner, then up to the room.
Friday we got up, rode the new TRAX line to South Jordan, explored out there a bit, went back to the hotel, got ready for my competition out at the Salt Lake County fair, then drove back down to South Jordan to perform! We got there at 5, wandered around until 5:30, checked in with the sound guy, took our seats and waited for the competition to start. I was 4th to perform. I sang Baby Girl by Sugarland. It wasn't my worst performance, I don't know that it was my best. I thought I did pretty good, but I didn't win anything. After we went to dinner and then back to the hotel. I skyped with Sara that night :) Bahhhhh I love that girl like none other. She seriously made me laugh so hard I was crying.
We skyped until like, midnight, so I woke up around 11 this morning. Bahhh I never sleep in that late and usually I stay up way later than that so I have no idea what got into me. We went to Blue Lemon, my almost most favorite restaurant in the world for brunch. I had a muffin :) Then we took (just guess) the TRAX line (good job!) down to Sandy and back up again. Checked out of our hotel, ate lunch, went and bought somethings for my new remodeled bathroom (pictures coming) and went home.
This is where today got real bad.

I don't even know what to say. This video was posted after the stage fell at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis right before Sugarland was about to come onstage. I had about 10 friends there in the audience, right where the stage fell. I was terrified. Absolutely scared out of my mind. It was about an hour until I heard from everyone that they were safe and sound. Only one of my friends was injured, her and her son. I knew one of the people that died as well. I'm so numb right now I can't even take it in. 4 died and 43 were taken to the hospital.
Now. I know I say I love my Sugarcubes. But words cannot describe the love and respect I have for them. I have never been more honored to be part of the Sugarfamily. Twitter and Facebook are still blowing up with prayers and love for these people that we don't even know. We're all one big family here in Sugarland, no lies, and everyone says it, knows it. Doesn't matter who you are. Where you're from. There's no "fitting in" around here. We're all united by one love, and I'm so thankful I'm a part of this.
I love "our little steampunked world" <3
