2011

Well, 2011 has proved to be a great year so far. At the end of last year, I got involved in some local music groups which led me to the Yavapai College here. I auditioned and made it into two of the college choirs; Master Chorale and Community Chorale. In Master Chorale, we are singing Haydn's "Creation." I have been given the part of the angel Gabriel and will have FIVE very difficult solos to preform. I am very excited as well as EXTREMELY nervous. I also have a solo in Community Chorale. It is a barber-shop type song called "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel." Me and another guy in the choir will be singing the solos. He is African American and has the deep, spiritual voice they have. It's Awesome! I am loving being involved in music again.

On another note, I found a local thrift store that is Awesome! I found several things, some of which I will post after I fix them up, but his is one thing I don't have to fix up. I found this chair and replaced the little blue chair in my bathroom. This definitely looks better!



Since Valentines is coming up, I made a mock wedding cake. My brother-in-law is getting married and asked me to make his cake, so I needed to practice using fondant. This is my cake!



Things are going really well for us. We are both enjoying our jobs and really starting to love Prescott Valley.
