ANYWAY lots of big changes and big news as of late! Items of business as follows:
1) New Blog Design
You may have already noticed, but the blog has a new look and a new name. The other template and blog title wasn't very "me". It was like I was trying to be that cutesy-pootsy LDS blogger who has that stereotypical Pinterest style, which is so inaccurate. So here we are. In pink. With these cool floating lights out of focus aspect thing that I'm really digging. :D And the title is more accurate too. I am way more exciting than "Our Story Starts Here" BARF GAG EW. (no offense to anyone who that it was a good name, I thought it at one point myself)
2) SCHOOL
That is right! I have been admitted and am registered for classes at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Kinda a step back, going from university to community college but hey I'm back at school and that's what matters. I am actually quite excited. I keep looking at my text book list, anticipating to go out and get them but I know better than that. As everyone has gone to college before knows, you should not buy your textbooks till after the first day of class because your instructor might have other plans than what the materials may be, regardless of what the Student Center may tell you. I could be wrong, but that's how it was at ASU. I saved like $200 bucks by waiting. LAWLZ anywhom I'll still end up getting them at the end of this semester when people are trying to get rid of their textbooks. But yeah. I have decided I shall study Music, probably specifically Vocal Performance. Just because it's the only thing that seems to make sense to me right now and I know I'll never get tired or bored of music. I also really want to be a soloist again and FEEL like I contribute something. I used to be so confident in high school and then I hit adult life and my confidence was shot in the face with a shotgun. I also just really love making beautiful music. Thus, this is what I want to do.
3) Fringe and All the Feels
Ian and I have been watching "Fringe" on Netflix for literally the past, oh I don't know MONTH, all day everyday because we've been addicted to it's well executed screen shots and plot structure. Seriously, if you haven't watched it DO IT NOW BECAUSE IT IS JUST SO GOOD. It's one of JJ Abram's greatest contributions to society. Other than "Super 8". Srsly tho. We've been so emotionally invested into this show and we literally just finished it earlier this evening and I don't even know what to do with myself. WAHHHHHHHH I used to never understand the whole getting-into-a-show-that-it-becomes-your-life-thing because honestly, I have always preferred movies over television. Still do, but I'm much more open minded now. UGH it was sooooo good. Just go onto Netflix and devote the next couple weeks of your life to it's glorious madness. DO IT. NOW.
4) RESONANCE CHOIR TOUR--Hollerrrr
Ian and I also just returned from choir tour this past weekend. It was a nice mini-getaway for the short tour that it was. We went up to Snowflake and sang at their Pioneer Park Fall Festival thingy. That's always fun. Then we went to a corn maze while we were there and availed in finding ALL the stamps in the maze (even though the map was SO rigged). I got a tootsie roll pop, so it was worth it. OH and we got this cute picture there was well. D'awwww
Jadyn and Taylor also got a cute one in. ;)
After that we went to the Safford-Thatcher area, where some of us went to the carnival and the rest of us went to the Gila Valley Temple so we could do sealings/baptisms. What a neat experience! That was the first time I had gone to the temple since we got married. It is such a gorgeous temple. Definitely a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Church is true guys! :) Then on Sunday, the final day, we headed towards Tucson and hit the Titan Missile Museum and the Arizona Sonaran Desert Museum on the way. Two very cool places that I could go to again on the next road trip. That evening we sang at a fireside in Tucson and it was great. Finally heading home, we grabbed some Eggee's and arrived in Mesa close to 11 PM. I am very glad I took off Monday as well because I don't think I could have gotten myself to wake up at 4 AM after that! haha Overall, great trip. I'm crossing my fingers that next tour we'll go to Europe. One can only hope!
Aye aye aye aye. I do believe that is all for now. PHEW. So yeah. Hope you lovelies have a great night.
G'night folks.
