So Here's the big Story

So on Wednesday night, i was running around, trying to get everything together so i could leave for Chill Time.(umm, glossery: Chill time: wednesday night fellowship time at local youth group. we play video games, do homework, and play Apples to Apples. fun times) it's a come whenever kind of thing so there really is no "on time" except for the time you, and only you intend to get there. my target time is 6:00, but when Joel's home he makes it later because he takes forever to get ready. but Joel was on his way home from a science competition. so anyways, i was getting ready to leave, when the phone rang. Mom answered it, and it was for me. i was hoping it wasn't work asking me to come in, because i would really be irritated at that.(i'm not normally available on wednesdays) but it wasn't work, it was the executive producer of the Weekend 22. I believe i've talked about the Weekend 22 on here before. it's a countdown show for Christian music. it's really awesome, and my siblings and i try very hard to listen to it every week. anyways, he was calling because i had won a contest. now, if you would go back and read the post from when i won a book from the Weekend 22, you would recall that it just showed up. there was no letter, no flyer, just the book. but see, this contest that they were calling about wasn't just any regular contest. it had a grand prize.

and this grand prize was a really nice guitar. and it's one of those deals where they would call the person to tell them that they won, and then they would get all excited and every0ne listening at home would go "that is so cool, i wish i would've won." well, i had at least won the Sanctus Real CD.("We Need Each Other"). so i needed to wait an hour to see if i had won. so i decided not to go to Chill Time, and be under house arrest.

so i tried to do my math homework while i waited. except i got distracted. i was IMing Barb and Liz about what i was going through. the guy said to make sure i got really excited if i won, so it would come through to the listeners. i'm not that great at that, because i'm more of an all smiles person, and tend to be speechless at those sort of things. at the same time i didn't want to work myself up so much and then not get that call. it was a fine line to walk on. so then the phone rings, and my gut jumps to my throat. but it's not for me, it's someone returning my mom's call. so i continue with math homework and IMing.

then we get another phone call. this one is for me, and they are recording it.(they told me they would record the conversation, sorry i forgot to mention that earlier.) so i won it. i am going to be getting an electric guitar. don't ask me what kind it is, or if it's signed by Sanctus Real, because i really don't know. and while i do care in the long run, right now i don't care, because i'm just happy that i'm getting another guitar! i already play acoustic, so now i get to start something new. and this is something that i never would have been able to just say "Hey, let's try and learn how to play the electric guitar!" because i don't have the money to buy one in the first place. i barely had enough money to buy an acoustic guitar a few years ago.

anyways, those are the details that Liz was trying to pry out of me. once i get the guitar, i will be sure and post a picture of it on here, so you can all see. oh, and if you want to here me on a nationally syndicated show, be sure and tune in to the Weekend 22 on March 22. if your station doesn't play the Weekend 22, you can contact me, and i'll tell you when it's on my station so that you can listen online.

so i still got to go to some of Chill Time. i volunteered to pick up Joel at the school, and then on the way home we stopped at the church to say hi to everyone. i had felt bad for not going in the first place because i told one of my friends that i'd be there. but it turns out she left early because she wasn't feeling well. but that was okay, it was nice to go even for just a few minutes.

So this is a very excited Abby, signing off. God is awesome, never forget it!
