Decent weekend

This weekend I played for the Fargo/Moorhead Symphony. I have to say it was a wonderful program! There were a lot of brass features, which you don't see too often. It was very fun to be a part of it, and I hope that I get other opportunities to perform with them.

This coming weekend I will be going home to Worthington to do some wedding things with Mom. I'll be leaving Thursday, so I should have at least 3 full days to do stuff. On Friday I'll take Mom to Sioux Falls for her radiation, then we are going to go through my many boxes of stuff at the house. Saturday will be another trip to Sioux Falls to look for things for the reception and tables and whatever else we find.

I found my dress the other week. As Aaron reads this, I can't give a description because I'm not letting him see it until I walk down the aisle....

I'm still trying to get a part-time job. I am handing in applications left and right. I guess I could always go and work for a grocery store if it is my only option left, but I would rather put a spoon through my temple than work at a grocery store again...

Life is kind of stressfull right now. I won't go into detail....

I'm looking forward to going home this weekend...

Happy New Year!

So, it's now 2007. I'd have to say that 2006 was a pretty good year for me. I got engaged for one! Patents is doing well, and I graduated from college. It has also had a couple bumps, mainly with my mother having breast cancer. She has pulled through that and she just has a few more weeks of radiation left, then no more!

Now that I don't have school anymore, I will actually have time to plan my wedding. It's only 6 months away, and there is still a lot to be done!

For New Year's Patents were in Ottertail, MN. That night there was a ton of people there, which always makes performing so much more fun. I also felt that I played one of my best shows that night. I also discovered that I absolutly need to get musician's ear plugs. My graduation money should cover that!

I did celebrate a little too hard and I was sick for most of the day yesterday... My New Year's resolution is to have no more than 3 drinks any given night. The after-effects of drinking too much just sucks....

I am going to go now and look for more jobs to apply for. I need to get one soon!

Happy New Year to everyone!!
