Checking In.

So... a lot has happened in the last month and a half. Here's what went down:

FEBRUARY (I pronounce the first R in FebRuary... get over it.)
  • Bought a killer dress for my senior recital.
  • Renewed my Brazilian Passport.
  • Had a bridal shower for my dear friend Kacee. 
  • Stayed awake 39 hours straight. That was particularly horrible.
  • Lots of rehearsals for my Brazilian Jazz show.
  • Sang for Chanticleer and went to their show.
  • Met a man in Chanticleer that is the spitting image of Jon Hamm, aka Don Draper. AND his voice knows the frequency of my heart. (The fact that there are at least two men on the planet that handsome and talented gives me hope. He told me I looked like Natalie Portman - basically we're going to have beautiful children together.)
  • Wept a thousand tears the night Kacee moved away for good.
  • Sang on two radio shows (one Logan in, one in Salt Lake)
  • Stressed out and lost sleep over my senior recital preview.

MARCH (I also pronounce the R in March)
  • Had a great time singing bossa nova and samba tunes in a show and seeing many friends and family having a good time.
  • My mom came to town. Spent a lot of time with my family.
  • I went through the temple for the first time here in Logan. Incredible. 
  • Accepted contracts to be an EFY counselor this summer in Texas, Massachusetts, and Palmyra, NY!  
  • Went to Boise for Kacee and Shane's wedding - many tears of joy were shed.
  • Spent the night with Jake and the wonderful Spjute family in Boise! I love momma Spjute. 
  • Spent the night at the SLC Airport so we could make our early flight to Dallas in time.
  • Spent a wonderful spring break on the beach in Brazil - Recife and Sao Paulo. 
  • Prayed like I have never prayed before that I would pass my recital preview.
  • Passed my recital preview with an A-. Tears of blessed joy!
  • Gained weight - thank you spring break and delicious Brazilian food. 


And now it's the home stretch to graduation in a month! 
Everything is weird. 
And awesome. 
But mostly weird. 

So here's to more adventures!
