If you like J.Crew....

You'll LOVE this. *J.Crew is now a factory store up at the outlets in Park City. It just opened today, I'm so excited about it! I went up for the grand opening and found one too many things I liked... easy to do at J.Crew.

to get them... that tells you just how great they are.

Starting to Teach

I just picked up this lever harp on Wednesday, and I'm getting so excited to teach! I have my room all ready to go, the only thing left to do is paint the walls.

I am starting to put together my studio, so if you know of anyone who is interested in taking harp please tell them to call me at (801) 540-3011. Thanks.

--Triathlon--

Michael did his first tri this last Saturday, along with my brother Wes. He sprained his elbow about a week before the race, but decided he'd give it a go anyway. The Xterra (sport) tri is a 1/2 mile swim, about 12 miles mountain biking, and a 5k run. It goes from Pineview resevoir clear up to Snow Basin.. quite the incline. Michael did really well, I'm very proud of him. Way to go honey!

My trip to Wisconsin...

I just got back from a 10 day teacher training in WI. It was both exciting and exhausting, but I really learned a lot and am very glad I went. The hardest part was being away from Michael for that long, I really missed him.

My mom and I flew into the Minneapolis airport, and then drove 3 1/2 hours to Stevens Point, WI (The city of the Suzuki Institute). Needless to say, GPS on cell phones is the greatest invention... we drove straight there, no problem. (Something that would not have happened had we been on our own). It was a small little town, not much to do but check out the local eaterys here and there. It was ok though, because we didn't have much time to explore. The teacher training was from Sunday til Sunday, and in that time we had 28 hours of lecture & 15 hours of observing harp lessons. It was a long week, but I'm so glad I did it. It was very informative and inspiring, I am completely converted to the suzuki method.

When driving back to Minneapolis we passed some really neat looking barns, it's farm country out there. When we got to the city we just had to go to Mall of America. It was so big, unbelievably amazing. There is an entire amusement park in the center of the mall.

My mom and I had a great time, but it's so great to be back! Dorothy said it best, "There's no place like home."

A long awaited & anticipated Present!

Jessica gave me a ticket to the American Idol Live Concert for my birthday! It was last night and boy was it amazing. It was so cool to actually see everyone in person because you see them the whole season just on T.V. It was a really fun experience, one I will never forget. Thank you Jessica!!!
