How time flies....

Well so much has happened since my last post.  The recital is done.  It truly was a blast.  Thanks to ustream.tv I was able to stream my recital and my friends and family all over the country were able to watch live.  My brother in California, my dad in Alabama, my aunt in Illinois, my colleagues in Ohio.  At one point some of my friends counted over 20 people online watching. Incredible.  It really was a fantastic night. I've already got ideas swirling in my blonde head of what to perform next year. =)

Spring break has been really great.  Very relaxing and nice to get away.  I started in San Antonio, Texas.  It was so nice to see my old friends Laura and Jared.  They're doing really great out there and have some really exciting things happening in the near future.

Got to San Antonio on Sunday and left on Tuesday.  Had a quick layover in Atlanta.  Just long enough for me to grab a Sweet Water.  Sweet Water is a beautiful thing.  I miss it. It is definitely a nice treat whenever I am in the dirty South.

Now I'm in D.C. hangin out with Jennifer.  She has a big girl job down town and has to work during the day, so I've been off exploring.  I've been to the Holocaust museum, the American Indian museum, and the Botanical gardens.  I went to Georgetown and found Georgetown Cupcake, the shop that is filmed for TLC's DC Cupcakes.  I had the mint cookies and cream cupcake, which was delish btw.  Jen took me to this cute little cafe the other night for dinner and I had seared salmon over a sweet potato and andouille hash.  Life changing.

I took Jen to her first Bikram Yoga class. It was really cool to try out a different studio. Man its funny how different 90 minutes is at sea level verses 5500 or what ever Salt Lake is.  I felt really confident in the class. I'm looking forward to going to the Salt Lake studio again when I get home.

Last night our old friend Phil got in town from NYC.  I made the comment how I love how we've all spread out: DC, NYC, and SLC.  I thought it was funny.

My plans for my last two days here include Ben's Chili Bowl , Fogo de Chao, and the lovely cherry blossom festival that starts Saturday morning.  Luckily my flight does not leave until 5pm on Saturday so I should have plenty of time to check stuff out in the morning.

I'm looking forward to being back in my bed.  I'm looking forward to some sunny skies in Salt Lake very soon.  Crossing my fingers for a warmer than usual April in Utah.  All you people complaining in the Southeast that it is already too hot? Just stop it right now. = P   It could be way worse.  You could still be dealing with freezing temperatures and snow right now.  Awwww the grass is always greener is it not?

Oh and cross your fingers. I'm still waiting to hear back from some summer opportunities that could prove to be huge.  I'm not really betting on it, but I did my absolute best and that's all I can ask of myself at this time and point.
