Life Lately

We haven't had a lot of time to do fun activities lately with lots of entertaining pictures, but we have had a pretty good beginning to 2010. Over the next two months life will gradually get less chaotic, but for now we are just taking it one day at a time. Here are a few things that we have been up to:

- My baby brother, Andy, left on his mission February 10th. He'll leave the MTC on March 1st for the New York, New York South mission. We are so proud of him!

- Tyler has been doing lots of work on website design in his spare time (ha ha). He is so good at it, and his perfectionism really comes in handy!

- I'm in my last semester of coursework for my doctorate! I'm starting to study for my comprehensive exams in September, and then I'll be working on my dissertation.

- The studio is huge and doing very well. We have close to 40 students.

- I've been practicing whenever I have a spare minute (or when I'm no too lazy). I will be performing the Bartok Viola Concerto on March 13th with the Idaho Falls Symphony. Preparations are going well, and I'm excited for the performance. Everyone should come!!

- Lots of string quartet rehearsals. I'll be playing the Beethoven Opus 18 #1 Quartet this Saturday at the Idaho Falls Colonial Theater.

- We have been trying to be patient waiting for Spring. We have Spring Fever to the extreme!!!

That's about it. Hopefully more fun things to come!

Coming Back

I'm coming back, I promise. I've just been swamped with lots of stuff that all of you would think was totally boring. More to come. . .
