Quick Update

Hey guys! This summer has gotten away from me way too quickly, and now I'm starting school again.  I wanted to do a quick update and share some highlights from my summer! :)

• I went to a week-long piano camp, and enjoyed all the extra help from the wonderful teachers that taught us all!  It was super fun, and I definitely want to do it again next year! :) 
   
                                                         (Sorry for the bad lighting.)

My two Aunts visited us for a week and it was so much fun! Their visit included midnight pool parties, hot fudge sundaes and plenty of girly movies :)  

In July, our church had it's annual growth retreat.   We had a really good speaker, and it was a fun time to fellowship and worship. One night i got to play piano with the worship team and that was a blast! :)  (To read about last year's growth retreat click here. )

Our speaker, Eric. and me .......^^^

In the beginning of August, we went to NC to give my sister a bridal shower! :) It was one of the biggest highlights of my summer!! The theme was sort of Italy, so there was yummy pastries and bread and cheese and gelato! (<--Did i spell that right?)

'Love' in Italian <3

The table/centerpieces

Some of the yummy food....

And lastly, I've had a few piano competitions/performances the past couple weeks.

All ready! :)

Well, that was pretty much my summer.  School started about a month ago for us.  How has your summer been?

Random Stuff

Hello friends! Sorry not posting for so long again. Things have been busy.  We haven't done much this week, but two weeks ago, I went to a weekend piano camp type of thing and it was at a college.  I had a few classes on music theory, and rhythm and stuff, and I had one lesson with one of the professors at the college, then at then end there was a little recital. 

Two weeks ago my mom ordered me a new devotion, and so far I love it! It's called How to Study You Bible by Kay Arthur. It comes with a workbook with questions and other stuff, that go along with the regular devotion book. 

 

I'm also gonna give a little fashion tip today.  I've created an outfit, that you can dress it up, or keep it casual, by just adding or taking away a few little accessories :) (The purse in the picture is actually the same purse I have, and I love it!!

One last thing I wanted to post, was a pic of my mom's valentines day wreath she made! I think it is just adorable!

Sorry it's a little bit short, but that's it for now!

It's Been a Long Time...

Hello everyone! Again, sorry it's been a long time since I last posted. The truth is, we just haven't done anything that exciting or worth blogging about this past week. We have just been hitting the books hard, and focusing on getting back into the swing of things.  Today, I'm gonna do kind of a combined post of a few different things.

First of all, last week I had a group piano lesson, and it was awesome! We have them once a month, and all of her students will meet together one Saturday a month and play our music pieces for each other, and we will get feedback on what to work on - it's really helpful.  Anyway, the group lesson we had last week was a special one. Ms. Covert, a friend of my teacher, who is pretty well-known, came to give us helpful tips on how to practice, and different techniques to try, to get more out of our practice sessions.

The next thing i'm gonna post is a fashion post - colored pants!

Colored pants (or jeans) are I think super stylish, and are kind of the opposite of dark pants and a colored top. It makes your outfit look new and fresh! (And if you would like a real example other than the pics below, I'm wearin' colored pants in the pic above ^^^)

Have a great week!

Piano Festival!

Hello Friends! I hope each of you are doing AMAZING! Last weekend I played (piano) at a Monster Mash. (aka, Halloweenish, fair type of thing)  it was sooooooo fun! It was all outside, but it was a little bit cold that day, and windy, so after a while, I was ready to go! Anyway, I played as soon as we got there, and i think it went pretty well...

Me playing...

Me with my awesome teacher ^^^

 

 

After I was finished playing, my mom wanted to take Dante on a little hayride...

He LOVED it, but mostly, he just wanted to roll around in the hay. haha :)

Well, this weekend (November 3rd) I played in more of a competition, at our local music store.  It went really good too, and I came home with a ribbon, and music pin :) Sorry, no pics from that one!

Have a wonderful week!
