september.

Somehow It became September 20th, 2010.

whhhhattt??

one of my favorite things about living at home is...

Grammy can do way more than she thinks. Today we made pie and stuffed peppers. What a good time together. She stresses because she thinks she can't do anything but its fun for her to walk me through making dishes that she's made her whole life. what a wonderful time.

This month i began teaching music to four year olds at a preschool in town. Putting music in simple terms is such a challenge. Most older kids and adults have some basic knowledge of musical concepts but to be one of the first to create an appreciation for music and a beginning knowledge of music to kids is such a gift i think. I really hope we can have some fun-so far it is so exciting to dance and sing and see who has a little more natural talent than others. you can see it soooo young. i LOVE that. i hope it can continue to develop!!!!

I'm still working at safeway. what a challenge. what an environment. sometimes i love it. sometimes i hate it. the end.

Church is also going sooo great. I love this Church and i really havent been able to say that for so long. The Pastor speaks truth in a way that everyone gets so much out of it and its the first church i've been to in forever that the people actually went there becuase of the preaching. Usually its either 1. the people or 2. the music. Everyone discusses the music,....but here people get a bigger picture and get a lot from the whole service. I lovvve being able to play there!

so...september. family. church. work. growing my hair out. ahhh. love. life. fall. pumpkinspicelatte.

loveyou.

august. my month.

here i am again.

august was such a good birthday month. i had five friends visit me-which is such a blessing considering i couldnt get out to ohio!!! such a great time! It made me not hate the age of .....24 for so much! haha Every year i always feel like my life is over when i turn the next age. how dramatic.

music is happening. i've sang at church twice this last month and am going to sing on sunday! (if you want, type my name in the search bar on youtube.com-my dad records my songs. lol). I'm loving my church. I love the friends i get to work with and i'm surviving my job.

Tomorow I start hanging out with the four year olds at my mom's school and i get to teach some music!!! This should be very interesting. maybe i'll dress like hannah montana hahhaha ;) We're going to dance and sing together, duh.

Well, i'm now the proud owner of a macbook pro. So, garage band has been put to use haha. i promise. I'm trying to figure it allll out. But i need to get myself in gear. I need to get serious about writing and crreating. sigh. yes. it needs to happen.

I think i'm learning a whole lot this year. i also think i'm pretty much over living at home. It works, and i'm so blessed to not have to pay rent-but....six years without this and to go back? not my favorite thing ever in the world. But i do love my family. I ADORE my grandparents and i am learning from them. i think i'm learning about marriage and relationships and love and support and sacrifice and compromise and loving the way other people need to be loved. so, lots of good stuff. haha

thinking about the future. i wonder where i'll be in a year. hmmm....

that's pretty much it. just an update. check out my facebook for pictures of my birthday month. :)
