The longest day of my life

So pretty sure Saturday was the longest day of my life. And I have had some pretty long days, ex: 12 hour layover in London, day 'o hell tech runs for plays, but this on topped them all for some reason. I made the mistake of staying out late the night before...I went and saw a movie and got home way past my beloved bed time. So I was of course tired when I had to get up and go the next morning. So this is how the day went.
8:00 am Rehearsal for Mr. Johnson's ten year tribute. This thing had been in the works for over a year. And Saturday was finally the day it was all going down.
So we went through some things at AF High School. Then my co-worker called me kinda really freaking out because she couldn't get the lights to turn on in the training building. So I was going to run home and find all of the lamps that I could, stuff my car with them and head to the rescue, but it was not needed. She touched a button that said "DO NOT TOUCH" and the lights turned on!
9:20 am leave the rehearsal to drive to training in Orem. I had to stop to get gas in my car. I make it to Orem. We are training new volunteers for CASA. Everyone should be a CASA. You should, and you should and you too. Yes. Yes, you should ask be about it! Anyway. We are on the 3rd floor of the building, and you have to have a key card to make the elevator so I waited at the bottom and let people in and then let them up to the 3rd floor. So the training went from 10am to 3pm. Long. It was pretty good. It would have been better if we didn't have a few crazies in the class. One girl I really want to punch. She has been very disrespectful and she asks the most off topic questions. Then another girl kinda feeds of her crazy and they go on and on to the point were I want to poke my own eyes out. Ok not really but I did have to get up and leave the room a couple of times so I didn't say anything really rude. My co-worker is more patient and better at handling the situation than I am so she did great, but you could tell it was wearing everyone down.
Ok so after training, we get everything cleaned up and packed up and hope that we don't get in trouble for pushing the DO NOT TOUCH button.
I then run home, change my clothes into something I can "dance" in. So jeans, a t-shirts and tennies.
Then I had to pick up a gift for the cute little boy and girl who's father we were celebrating. So off to wal-mart. I had no idea what to get so I got way more than needed but it ended up being really cute. So then to my Friend Nicole's parents house to put it all together. By this time I was starving. So I stopped to get something to eat on the way to Lehi High School for the performance. I forgot to mention that I had frantically been listening to the songs I was suppose to sing because I has been a million years since I have performed them so pretty sure I forgot all of the words. So I was freaking out a little bit because I didn't know what I was suppose to do. They went through the staging for our song after I had left that morning. So I quickly went through it when I got to Lehi. So the next hour consisted of running around helping get everything set up, running through the songs in my head, and the best part talking to people I haven't seen in a million years.

It was amazing to see all of these people that I didn't realize I missed until they came up and gave me a hug.

So as all of this is going on I am rapidly developing a massive headache.

So 6:30pm. Mr. Neal Johnson walks into the biggest surprise of his life, an auditorium full of people there to thank and celebrate him and his ten years of teaching. The look on his face was priceless.

Each year got up and did their presentation. It all went beautifully. I did remember the words, for the most part. And had so much fun! All laughed, cried and remembered together. It was an amazing night.

Then the real fun came. Mingling and catching up with wonderful people. Michelle, Scott, Jackie, Mindy, Sam, Kaitlyn, Skyler, Krystyna (I am half way there for this week, ha ha ha), Mark, Annie, Lindsey....so many people! I loved being able to talk to Korianne and J. They were the reason we were all there and I was so glad we could do this little thing for them.

So by the end of the night my spirit had been filled with happiness, but my head was pounding and I felt like throwing up. So I headed out early with my brother and went home to bed.


It was so busy. So amazingly long. But the people made it the best.
