SPRING

My sisters don't blog anymore. So, in an effort to encourage them to resume posting, here is my best foot forward.

I left Ventura in mid February to join the spring Continental tour on the road for a few weeks. ahhhh to be on tour again. It was, however, very different from the touring I've experienced during the past four years through Luther. Different music, of course...but...different. As one of my recruits put it, "My heart is more drawn to musical leadership than performance". I think I'm there.

My experience on the road for those 2 weeks was COLD. We traveled from Iowa through IN and OH, then up through VT, ME, and New Brunswick, Canada, then back down, hitting NY, NJ, NH, and all of those little tiny states. COLD. SNOW. Wow, you forget that things are still like that in other parts of the world. I returned to LA and Spring had sprung while I was away...what a relief!

Lots of things happened while I was gone, the most exciting being the engagement of Chris and Jess, who will wed October 25. If you want to know what percentage of their wedding is planned, you can consult Chris' spreadsheet. If you want to know what percentage of our wedding is planned, we will probably meet you with blank stares..."what? weddings have to be planned? are we responsible for that?" :)

Life is nice right now, exciting things coming up: getting to see Brian Meyer, our best man, Patrick and my piece being performed for the first time at the Good Friday service, Easter!, Julia coming to visit from Luther for a few days next week!
