First Voice Recital

On March 2nd, 2011 my voice students performed their first recital. I am so blessed to be the teacher of over ten students. I love teaching them and being around their wonderful personalities. I found this darling retirement home called Legacy home and asked if we could do a recital for the residents while they ate dinner. I had eight girls who wanted to participate and all showed up in their Sunday best looking so adorable. We set up the room so their parents and friends could sit in the front while the residents listened in the back. 

I WAS SO NERVOUS!

I think I might have even been more nervous than the girls! But all in all, it was a nice, short, quaint recital. The girls did a wonderful job, especially for it being many of their very first times singing in front of people. I accompanied them all on the piano and loved seeing their families. Again, how blessed am I? At age 19, to have 10 voice students and be payed to do something I completely love! What darling girls, what a darling place to perform, what a darling recital! I am so blessed...

Lost Wallet

Have you ever lost your wallet??? Oh my goodness, what a pain! I lost mine a day before I was heading on a trip to Oregon. What does this mean?
*No money
*No liscence to drive
*No library card to rent books
*Lost $50 check
*No return receipts
*No student ID card
*A whole lot of stress!

I rushed to the bank and had all my cards cancelled and some new ones started. I took out some money and hoped it would cover the whole weekend.

When I got home from the trip, I planned on heading to the licence place to get a new one printed for $25, a new student ID for $15, and a library card for $10. So fun... I went out to my car and found a note that said someone had found my wallet in this parking space and if it was mine to give them a call.

What a blessing!

What a relief!

I am thankful for honest people. I am thankful for opportunities to grow and learn from. I'm thankful for the bitter, because otherwise I would not know the sweet. I'm so glad my wallet has been found. I'm know my Heavenly Father watches out for me and gives me little stressful moments like this to grow from :) It might seem like such a little thing, but I do believe we are given challenges and little situations like this to learn a lot.

Basketball Finale!

Here are some pictures from the last Aggie basketball game of the season. We sat pretty darn close this game in the student section.  I have never seen the spectrum that full! At the beginning of the game, they passed out bright blue, latex gloves for everyone to wear! It looked insane! And the loud noise the gloves made when you clapped was so wild! Seriously, I think Aggie fans are some of the best in the world! They are insane and it is a complete blast to be a part of them :)

Smiling big for my Aggies :)

Two of my favorite people, check out the gloves

Cuties

Right after half time when the "Wild Bills" were revealed. It was pretty flipping awesome

After the win, everyone rushed the court to watch the players cut the net. I was stuck out there for a good 20 minutes, but made it out in time to snap this picture

What a game, what a night, what a school :)

Valentines Day Date

My darling friend Ben Brown took me out to the Music Man on Valentines day. What a wonderful young man, and what a fun show. It reminded me of good times when I was in the show my sophomore year. We sat in row JJ and found great joy in that. We bumped some 90's tunes on the way home, and I just laughed and smiled like a crazy person! Love Ben Brown!

Visit from Allie :)

One of my favorite people in the whole wide world, Allie, came for a little weekend trip. We had a blast going to a fun dance party, talking, laughing, walking around the Logan temple, and letting her experience a little Aggie ice cream! I love this girl! I hope she comes to visit again soon! :)

Early in the morning feeling like P Diddy...

Cutest girls ever!

Mocktail party!

So lets just dance, in this huge room, where no one else is dancing and just staring at us... Ya, I think thats a good plan...

Baby are you down? Please take a gander at Allies face in this one

Chilling in the creppery (okay, that looks like it says creep-ery but I'm meaning where they make crepes... creppery? Is that right? Ha ha ha!)

Freaking cuties! Love these girls! What a great weekend :)

Big Girls, You are beautiful

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful'
Diet coke and a pizza please
Diet coke I'm on my knees
Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful'

You take your skinny girls
Feel like I'm gonna die
Cos a real woman
Needs a real man is why

 You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lotta woman
Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasise
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places

 Big girls you are beautiful
Big girls you are beautiful
Big girls you are beautiful
Big girls you are beautiful
Oh you are beautiful
