Busy, Crazy, Emotional Weekend...

This was such a busy, somewhat emotional weekend for me! It started bright and early on Friday, my day off…to make an extremely long story short my dad had to go the ER with some heart problems. Since this is public, I won’t go into many details but it was very scary. He is doing better now, but has a lot of work to do before he can be fully better. So, most of my day on Friday was spent in the ER hoping for the best.

Later that evening, Erich and I made it just in time to catch the Music as a Weapon Tour main stage. Performing was Lacuna Coil, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage and DISTURBED! It was amazing because it was all bands that Erich and I enjoy, but it kinda stunk because everyone but Disturbed had very limited stage time. I was lucky enough this time to be able to bring my camera in, unlike NIN in November where they sent me back to my car. I got some decent pictures, but our seats were not the best so some of them are hard to see.

Then, bright and early Saturday morning, me and quite a few of the girls I work with participated in the Angelman’s walk. This was the FIRST year for Omaha’s walk. A sweet little girl at work was diagnosed with this syndrome not too long ago. She is the sweetest thing and I would recommend to everyone to check out the Angelman’s foundation site to learn more about it. http://www.angelman.org/
She is such a beautiful “Angel” and I felt honored to walk on her behalf! I brought Junior along to give Jaimie a break from Mom duty and he froze his little hands off! Therefore, I did not take any pictures at the actual walk, but I did take some from our Village Inn stop afterward! My friend Sara had her 2 year old daughter, and my friend Rachel had her 2 year old nephew! Add two year old Junior and that makes a WHOLE LOT of 2 year olds at Village Inn! It was fun!

Finally, we spent our Saturday night celebrating a friend’s birthday! We played pool and it was an absolute blast! By the time Sunday rolled around, I was ready for relaxin, but I had to study for my finals! After this week, I am on break for a few weeks before my summer session of classes start… I won’t even really call it a break! It’s okay because I am ready to take my last session of classes by STORM!

This time, instead of waiting for this SLOW thing to upload all of my pictures from the weekend, I created a slide show! I thought I had some pretty awesome video footage from the concert, but listening to it now, I realize that my camera cannot handle that kind of noise! :( Enjoy!
