I'm doing 17 things
We bought our tickets for July 30 last night and I’m getting excited! I deferred to the men on choosing a restaurant for supper before the show and they picked the Texas Roadhouse. It is shaping up to be quite a fun and laidback outing!

I only received the sheet music about 10 days before graduation, so I practiced 6-7 times in those days so that I would be ready.
