Catch Up!

So I haven't wrote for a while and need to catch up on what's been going on. Life's been crazy and busy, but good! Here's an overview of things that have been going on!

Cavelcade!!
I went home to Mesa the first weekend of March and got to see my sisters play in cavelcade. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a piano performance. There are about 20 pianos on the stage and there are a bunch of kids playing duets on them. It's always cool see all of the kids playing the piano! This years cavalcade was a special one because.... JON SCHMIDT WAS THERE!!!! He played a couple songs during the performance and it was awesome!!!! He is an amazing pianist and composer. I bought one of his books after the concert and I love it!!!

Aubree Fry!! My dear friend and used-to-be roommate had the amazing opportunity to be married and sealed in the temple to Aaron Fry on March 13. I was honored to be a bridesmaid and to see her throughout the day and help her. I want to congratulate her and Aaron and tell them good luck! You guys are adorable together! But now.... our apartment is down to 5. Back to normal!!!

Zoo!!
During I had spring break, which was very much needed and enjoyed. During Spring break I got to go to the Phoenix Zoo with Guthrie! I had so much fun!!! I got to play with the cutest kids and see lots of animals! One of the favorites was the flamingos.


Las Cruses!!
The weekend after spring break, I got to go to Las Cruses, New Mexico to visit my sister and her family and see her daughter get blessed. It was so good to see all of them and to be able to spend time with my family and to see Las Cruses. Saturday night we walked around an old part of town. It was really cool to see how different it was compared to Mesa. It had the Spanish feel to it.Opera!!
The past week my life has been devoted to NAU's opera production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute". It was a long week filled with long rehearsals, but I made it through! The last performance was this afternoon and now I'm done with it! It was an interesting experience playing for an opera. The cast did a wonderful job! I didn't get to watch any of it because I was playing most of the time, but I'm hoping to be able to watch a video of it soon.

That's been my life the past couple months. Nothing too exciting, but I certainly keep busy! Only a month of school left and then I have a break! Let's hope that I do well on all of my school work the rest of the school year, and then I will be a junior in college! I do not feel that old, but I am! Good luck to everyone on the rest of the school year!
