Movin' On Up

Oh hey, y'all, didcha miss me? If you've been wondering about the radio silence, it's because I've moved over here!

MY SUPER EXCITING PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG

That's right! It's all new and exciting, you gotta go check it out. Mark it in your google readers because this is where I'll be spending most of my time, which means you should too!

Can't wait to see you over there :)

Sneak Peek

Our kids after Andre Rieu... it was such an amazing experience and I can't wait to write about it!

I Can Finally Spill the Beans!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Did you hear that screeching from your house/place of work/car?

That would be me. Screeching about something totally exciting.

And no, we're not pregnant. Did you know married people can have exciting news that ISN'T having a baby? Other stuff happens when you get married, you know. Sheesh.

But really, we're absolutely thrilled with this opportunity that has landed in our lap.

As you know, we just started a job as children's choir directors at a local church. The job is probably the funniest, goofiest, craziest thing I've ever done (can't speak for the Hubs) but the fact that we get to hang with these kids and teach them music is a pretty cool thing.

About 3 weeks ago, the Hubs and I were in JCPenney, picking out some new clothes when I get this phone call from one of the choir moms. She's talking really fast about this guy who needs a choir for this Christmas Concert. Ok, cool. We can see if it works with our choir schedule and if so, yes.

I call her back when I'm not in a loud store and she tells me about this world-reknown violinist who does these over the top concerts. He is coming to our area and he needs a children's choir for a song in his concert. Ok, still thinking it's cool. Whatevs.

I then start researching the guy and realize this is bigger than we both had originally thought. I actually started shaking at work after I watched the video that his manager had passed along.

I talk to my family and friends and they all know this guy and his music and love his concerts (well, some of them love his concerts but my aunt nearly had a heart attack and is already looking for tickets).

So this December, our choir kids will be performing with Andre Rieu in his Christmas concert.

Well, hello to you too.

Seriously. I still can't believe it. Here's what they will be performing.




It totally gives me chills. And the fact that our kids get to perform it, it's just incredible. I have to thank the previous choir director for building this program to what it is today and giving us this opportunity. eeeeeeeee!!!

Sweet Relief

Alright alright, I won't tease you any longer. The only reason I held out this long was because I was working out in Long Beach and JUST walked in the dang door. Longest day ever.

Anywho... I GOT A NEW JOB! That's my big fat crazy announcement. Nope, not pregnant. Nope, not moving. A new job. Yesssssss. I'm still working for the same school but a whole entirely different department. I'm so looking forward to new challenges, adventures, ideas, everything. I know this department is so different from the one I'm currently in and that is ok, because it's time for a change. I've been wanting to do this for about two years and I finally made it happen.

So yes, I'm stoked, nervous, excited, happy, anxious, etc. That's what happens when we break out of something we've known for awhile. And that's ok. Sometimes you have to make a huge change to find happiness. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Well, unfortunately I couldn't change the way I thought about something. I thought I could, but turns out I couldn't. So I decided to change the situation. And it could only get better from here.

Drum roll please...

I've got something great to announce pretty soon but there are always those people that can rain on your good news parade. You know what I think about that?
