Spring 2011 Recital

Today was Cory's piano recital.  Six years of playing piano paid off today. It was so beautiful. Yes, as a parent no matter what noise your child makes is beautiful because you are proud. Today was different, this was his last one. He has been working on his music for almost  a year. He even played another song selection for the fall recital so that he could have more time to practice for this one.
This morning, he showed us what he can do! He played The Entertainer by S. Joplin, and then he treated us all to a musical treat. He played The Wild Horseman by Schumann, arranged by Hunley. Yes, there it was in black and white on the program (arranged by HUNLEY!). He has been working on adding his own touches to the music for a while now. Yes, today I burst with pride watching him tickling those ivorys! The children all played well, and it was such a treat to the ears!

Happy 17th Anniversary!

On April 30, 1994 at 2 in the afternoon Chad and I exchanged vows in front of friends and family. We were so excited! We had no idea what our futures held, we just knew we wanted to spend it together. Seventeen years later - here we are living our future! Two different yet complimentary personalities trying to figure it out to the best of our ability. This picture is one we took in a photo booth after his graduation from basic.

Baskin Robbins 31 Cents Scoop Night

Well, the annual .31cent scoop night has come and gone once again. Each year on the last Wednesday of the month of April from 5pm -10pm you can get a scoop of icecream for 31 cents! Due to weather around here; our small group cancelled, so we were free to partake this year! (Next year, I need to remind the group!) When special friends called us to come to dinner, well - we suggested where to go for dessert! We spent a whole $2 and some change for all four of us to get a couple scoops of icecream! (although, I think the guys got three scoops!) BTW, three scoops is the limit one can get for 31 cents each. This is a great promotional event to add to your calendar! Usually on this evening they raise funds for a charity. I wasn't able to pick up any information from our local Baskin Robbins as to what we were supporting this year (everyone was so busy!). They did hand out coupons for Mother's Day icecream cakes though!
