Phoenix

Hunter and I finally went to a concert together. It's so sad that this was the first one since we've been married! We both love music and went to tons of shows before we were married but we've been such slackers the last few years.

Well we're glad we broke that streak and are going to make an effort to keep it up.

Monday night the French band Phoenix came to Tempe. And it was nothing less than anyone should want or expect from any band.

My favorite was the generous use of keyboards in their six member group. They added tons of electrical effects and distortions that I had never seen before. Love love love.

And I loved having sweaty Hunter rockin' at my side.

Back to School Eve

On this evening before the next semester of school starts in this extremely challenging year for me- I feel good.  So good. 

I am so blessed in life.  

Winter break couldn't have been better for me.  Every day was eventful, enjoyable and relaxing in some way.  

I have a very positive outlook on this semester.  

I am going to be nicer in some ways.

I am going to be more strict in other ways.

But I am going to smile a lot more.  

And I am going to teach these children to love music.  

my husband is funny

While exploring Boston, Hunter and I came upon this street-show-opera-singing man who started singing Ave Maria.  

Hunter had to spice it up.  

I was dying.
