carla is my hero taping her hem line! I always carry tape and scisscors in my purse you never know when you'll need them!

Christmas carol was super fun to be in I'm glad I got to participate in something that brought the christmas spirit. My favorite part was singing a song about the nativity at the end while the little kids acted out the nativity- it was so sweet and they were adorable in their little costumes waving to their parents and flapping their angel wings. I had such a good time performing. I've missed it a lot and wish there were more opportunities to do so in Calgary.

I miss the days of community theatre.

Class and Music

I was able to teach a class on digital scrapbooking and blogging today. It was super fun. I love sharing my love of blogging and what an outlet it is with others. I also got to practice a song I'm singing in church tommorow-and have a musical Christmas carol Rehearsal. It got me all christmasie! I Can't say enough about how I feel when I

sing. It's like theres something deep inside me that just has to come out. I've focused on other things since college and I really miss the musical part of me. Hopefully I'll get to have more oppertunities to sing It made me feel like very true bree.

Amazingly Beautiful

My dear friend Sheliagh Fox knows what a sucker I am for coldplay and piano soloists. Especially Jon Schmidt he reminds me of my wedding- coldplay also reminds me of my wedding. My photographer in Idaho played both of these artists during my engagement photo session and it made our pictures turn out with so much more passion and intrigue. John schmidt is coming to Calgary on Tuesday and the tickets were only 10 dollars I'm trying to get 2 as we speak. Anytime you get to hear music like this your heart should dance with joy- I know mine does and it makes me want to dance and live. It's amazing how's his arrangements stir emotion in me. I love beautiful music and appreciate how much goes into learning and performing pieces. This made my night listening to something so beautiful.

Music as inspiration...

{This picture was taken after one of my fav songs Ive got rythm- our huge tap number- Ive never felt such a surge of energy than I did that night- everyones feet tapping at the exact same moment and the floor shakes- 14 straight minutes of dancing- nothing better!}

In one of my event classes the class was all about inspiration and where we get our ideas from. The whole class period he played music and we had to sit in the dark come up with a party idea based on that song and what we felt then write up a proposal. Since that day I always think of music differently and right now I'm in mega need of some new good songs- so I'm gonna list my most favorite songs- and Id love to know what your fav's are so I can get some new music inspiration!

Irish music

so i got my old cds out yesterday theres nothing like old music to bring bck lots of memories i listened to my old mixes of dance recital music and could still remember half the dances in my head some songs reminded me of rainbow- a show choir i was in and i listened to my chamber quire cd's - it made me miss a lot of great friends- and then came my irish cds- i havnt listened to them in years- i forgot how much i love irish music- especially riverdance- i love to hear the sound of feet on the floor its so cool- i got chill listning to it and every time i hear songs that give me chills it makes me want to open my own dance studio i can see a dance in my head or i think this move would look so cool at this point in the music- maybe that should be my job- dont you just hate having to make deciscions-amazing that a piece of irish music could make me contemplate changing my major yet again- i wish i could figure out my brain what do i want -brandon keeps telling me i dont need to know everything- hes so perfect for me so chill while im neurotic- i totally am so in love with him.
