What in the hecker? Where did all the year go? I can't believe it is already June.
I got called last week to be the ward choir director. For the fourth time. I would guess I've had around 10 callings in my life in 5.5 wards and only one of those has been non musical. Yeah, unfortunately I am just what I sound like: a little dissapointed. AH!! I'm a bad mormon! Don't tell Gram. Look, I love music. It's a part of me, it's who I am and I have a lot of training in it and can do a good job. But it's so challenging and foreign and stressful and eventually fulfilling to be a Sunday School teacher or teach Relief Society (which I've only done a few times.) It really stretches me. When I have musical callings I get lazy because I can just pull something out of my big bad of tricks and people love it. AHHH!!!! I'm such a lazy, conceited person for saying that. Woe unto me that is at ease on an armchair with a lemonade in Zion.
Last weekend, I had a sweet mission reunion with a gaggle of the performing missionaries I served with in Nauvoo in 2006. It was so good to see them all but most of all to sing some of our old songs together. It brought back the spirit of that place so vividly. It was a remarkable "tender mercy" from the Lord.
I am taking a break this summer from shows. I like eating real food and having time for those fun little extras in life I usually pass up when doing a show like laundry, dishes, housework, eating dinner, sleeping, mingling with moderately sane people...trivial past-times, I know, but you miss them when they aren't there.
Now, don't worry about me in the dating scene, I've got that covered. The past month I have been dating a lot, like 2 or 3 dates a week. Trust me, this is not typical of me and I am finding myself very out of place in a strange land of abundant free dinners and mixing up who majored in what and where they live and how many pets they have and what their name is...it's very unsettling. But the hunt must go on! There is one chap I have taken a bit of a shine to. This returned missionary is 28, 6'3", done with school and sings in MO TAB! Watch out ladies, he's got a smooth baritone voice that will melt your heart! Well, we'll see how it goes. We're just chill, cool, calm, casual....
Oh, I forgot the best part...I cut my hair! I cut off 13-14 inches and donated it to locks of love. My hair is a cute bob just around my chin and I love it. I think it fits my personality better. I felt my hair was.....high maintenance? before and now I feel like it's bossy and in charge.
Whelp, see you later!

I feel sorry for May. It got totally ignored by you. Love the haircut. Sorry about the choir. Can't wait for your birthday.
Your haircut is not the boss of me. (But it is very cute.)
I want to see your hair! I want pictures.
tap...tap...tap!
I'm waiting.
