My Life in a Nutshell

It has been so long since I have written. Clearly I am not the diary keeping kind of person. Life has been mostly good but kind of like a roller coaster....I'll stick with good though.


Just to keep up to date with what I have done from my Bucket List: I went on a road trip home to L-town with Sarah and my roomie, Susannah.

I was in Dance Co-Motion (a Fort Lewis dance group on campus that preforms each term.) I was just in one dance with my buddy Heather. It was called "You Look Good in My Shirt" by Keith Urban. You can get the idea just from the title. I have never heard so many guys screaming "Take it off!" in one place. I guess I now know how a stripper feels....

I also just preformed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the FLC Choir. We were joined by the San Juan Symphony and the Durango Chorale Society for an AMAZING performance. I have also been to an Irish pub (in Durango) which may or may not count. I am also driving home from Durango on May 4th. Four down and many more to go!!!


Past realizing that I have just checked a few events off my list, nothing else has happened. I changed my major...After teaching dance this summer I came to the realization that small children and I don't get along. At least I found out early on before I would have had to spend the next 30ish years doing something I don't love. I am now an English Writing major so that I can pursue a career in publishing children's and young adult literature. I am STOKED!!

I am just excited to go home for the summer. I have once again sold my soul for the last time to my father and the pharmacy. It pays ok and it's my last summer home so why not be with my dad? My best friend here in Durango, Dana, is coming home with me for her job in Boulder so we have so many plans.

2 weeks after I get back from school, I'm headed to Hawaii for my cousin Leslie's wedding. My mom and I will be on Kauai for a week to celebrate and then we will be meeting up with dad and Will on Oahu to visit with my Uncle Donny and his family. We might even take a 3 day trip to the Big Island to hike near the volcano's. I can't wait to go. This vacation is much needed.

I am very excited to end this school year and to go back home for one last summer. That's all I have for now but hopefully I won't wait so long to write back.

Peace.
