A Walk Down Memory Lane...

Something fun happened that I just had to tell you all about. So I'm bored the other day just wasting time on the computer (namely facebook) and I run across a friend from high school whom I haven't spoken to since I graduated in 1999! Ben Martinez. I had the biggest crush on Ben for just about my entire senior year of high school. He was always such a cool guy. Well immediately I sent him a message to see if he was, in fact, the guy I knew and he was!!! We've been emailing back and forth catching up on life and we even talked on the phone for an hour and a half like we were never seperated for 8 years! Well after we talked I started looking through some old high school pictures and came across this:




It's not the best picture of us but it's the only one I have (sorry Ben!) and I can't remember why I'm sitting on him, I think I was trying to prove how strong I was or something silly like that!

Now Ben is all grown up and a pilot in the Navy and I'm all grown up and still a music nerd! Ha! Anyways, I just had to share my fun story! Maybe you should think about getting back in touch with a new friend...you never know what could happen. Happy Tuesday!

More Sweet Babies

This is the year of babies for my family and friends! I just wanted to quickly show off some of the sweet babies that are coming into the world!

My newest niece, Julianna Stephens! Isn't she pretty?!? Born May 27th!



Andrea and Kevin Johnson had their pretty baby girl Isabella on July 9! I will get to meet her in person in August!




Emily and Curtis Winkle welcomed their second son, Luke on June 2(just one day before my birthday!) They are such a beautiful family, I just had to share them with you two!


These are just a few of my friends who have recently had babies...and there are many more to come! Not to mention, I will have more pictures to share when I get to meet them in person! Congratulations to all my family and extended family! I love you all!

Sweet Family

Because I love this family just like my own, I feel the need to share the newest member of the family. Amy and Jonny had their sweet second baby boy, Alex on June 23. What a great looking family right? I wish you all the best!



P.S. I will post more pics of my awesome extended family when I get back from visiting them in August, then I'll have Aunt April pictures!! Yay!

Save the Date...

So I just read on my friend Auvrey's blog about this new thing on EHarmony that will estimate your "most likely wedding date" and I couldn't resist but visit the site to see what it said about me. According to the "experts" at eHarmony, I have an 85.20% chance of getting married before the age of 65 and my most likely date of my marriage is July 21, 2013 (that makes me 32). I'm amazed that they can predict the future by asking you simple questions like, "how often do you smoke, are you dating someone right now? etc" How does smoking affect my chances of getting married? Do they help? Maybe I'll start! JUST KIDDING...I'm just pointing out how goofy the eharmony marriage clock is. Have a Happy and Safe 4th!

Open Mouth, Insert Foot...

And it wasn't me this time! So today I'm sitting in my music history class and my professor puts up a musical score of a Haydn oratorio and all the alto lines are highlighted in yellow. Dr. Schmidt is going through the score pointing out various musical tidbits, and one of the students shouts out, "Man, this alto must not have known how to follow her part!" (referring to all the highlighting), and without skipping a beat, as dry as ever my prof says, "this was my wife's copy." HA! I laughed so hard! I really needed something funny to happen today. Two more days of summer school and I'll be past the halfway mark in my Master's program!
