Catching Up

In case you were wondering, I haven't died.

Although if you thought that, you had a lot of justification. I haven't blogged in a long time. Life has been a little busy for this high schooler, and between choir tour, AP tests, and big projects, my time has been stretched pretty thin! So, here comes a quick catch up on Jessica's life. :)

On April 17, some of my very best friends and I headed out on choir tour to Washington D.C. My Mom got to come along with us as a chaperone, and we pretty much had a party the entire time. We had some pretty amazing experiences, including a VIP tour of the capital building, singing in the Hart Senator Office Building, visiting Arlington, walking around the D.C. Temple, and just having fun with our friends! My friends Brianna and Breanna were on the same bus as I was, and we had the most epic bus driver--er, professional motor coach operator--ever. Basically, he was so awesome that I had to name my souvenir stuffed panda after him. (Dave the Panda is pretty adorable by the way :D) At our choir festival, my choir took first in gold, which was pretty amazing!!! We had a wonderful time, and we've been having "choir tour withdrawals" ever since coming home.
 
Some of my favorite places and people in the world!

 
  
The Washington D.C. Temple was absolutely stunning.  
 
 Just hanging out in D.C. with some great friends... :)
 
 
 
It POURED on us in Arlington. Do you like our new hairdos? ;)

 
Sigh. Finding these pictures made me miss D.C. even more! Anyway, I had a lot of catch up work to do after tour, so I didn't get to blog about it until now! My birthday passed, and I had a ton of fun thanks to my incredible family and friends. Then it was suddenly time for AP tests. I took the AP Calculus AB test and AP English Literature and Composition test...and now I have to wait until July to get my scores back. It was kind of anticlimactic, to be honest. :) Well, that's what I've been doing the past month! Hopefully I can get back to blogging somewhat regularly from now on.
 
Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll come back soon!
