The Day the Music Died

So last night Jamie and I got to go to a musical at a theater in Orem. The Musical was Aida, by Elton John. I had never seen it before and it was a very good musical, although I will say that it is very clear that Elton John was one of the creators! LOL I really enjoyed going, but it really made me miss it all. For a couple of years now I keep telling myself that I am going to try out at the local musical theater company, and time and time again I chicken out. I just cant bring myself to do it. I don't know why, but I have never had that kind of confidence to just jump in and do it. Unfortunately I know that I miss a lot of opportunities because of it. It really made me start thinking about how since I have moved to Utah, music has slowly almost disappeared from my life, and last night really made me realize that I feel like some part of me is missing. Even if I don't join a musical, I am not part of a choir anymore, I don't have a piano, and barely see one anymore, in fact In the last year I have only sat down once, and really played the piano like I know and love. It really is quite frustrating, and I really feel lost. I often say to myself, well just fix it, go try out for a musical or what not, but I also have school and work and family, that I just don't think it is feasible. I really don't know what to do, but I know I need to do something because I think that I am starting to fade fast, and something so important, that made me get up each day and helped me get through the hell my life was from the time I was 8, is slowly disappearing. I almost feel like I have lost a child, my baby, and I am really down about it!

The day my husband drooled

It is official, I today committed and declared myself a Public Health Major with an Emphisis in Helath Promotion! I met with my councilor and went through the paper work, and what was even more exciting is, with this change I am even closer to graduating, infact I could actually graduate next December, but I will probably aim more for April! It is so close that I can taste it!

Jamie turns in his application for the Business school today, please keep him in your minds and prayers as this is a very big deal for us!!

I have to tell this funny story about Jamie last night, although it is kinda gross. Last night Jamie started having a horrible tooth ache that was just putting him through agony. I told him to put some oralgel ( if that is how it is spelled) and to come on the couch and lay down on my lap. So he was in so much pain that he put a lot of the stuff in in mouth and basically numbed his whole mouth. So he is laying his head down on my lap, I was wearing these short shorts that I wear around the house at night ( can you see where I am going with this?) about 15 min later I start to notice that something doesnt feel right and have him sit up. Lo and behold my entire leg was COVERED!! in his syliva. Jamie had been drooling for who know how long and because he was so numb he couldn't tell! I was completely soaked but was laughing so hard because he was so out of it!!

Well just a little note to let you all know all is well in the James Household, untill next time....

I feel that I must...

So I am at that point where I feel like I need to write on my blog, but then I think "what could I write about or tell you all?" And nothing comes to mind! I mean I guess Jamie and I really are not that interesting to write about that much. But I am currently waiting for my next class to start and I am bored so this is the best thing I can come up with.

As most of you know, last weekend was General Conference! It was great as always. On both Saturday and Sunday we had AMAZING friends who let us come to their home and watch conference with them for the afternoon and then eat some yummy food! Sunday morning I picked up my brother Spencer from his apartment to watch conference with us, and Jamie made a great breakfast for us all! I love having a husband that can cook, especially when it comes to making breakfast type food because I am awful at it! Never was a huge breakfast food eater, so I really cant make decent egg's or hash browns, or even pancakes for that matter. I can however, put the toast in the toaster! Yes I rock! Any way It was nice having my brother around for conference, it felt a little bit like home that morning! Except we didn't play Conference BINGO with M&M's! Dang it! I thought about it though, then realized the calories I would most likely consume and then changed my mind.
Let's see, well school is still school and after today I will be half way done with midterms. Oh Louise and I started working out together three times a week! I am very impressed with Louise, because when she lived in California with me, she never went to the gym with me, or wait correction, she would go and bring a pillow and blanket and sleep on the couch in the lobby! But she is doing really good, and I enjoy having the girl time with her as well!
Well I have to head off to class so that all for now!

Stressing Season is officially Open!

Ok So I googled Stress and this image was one of the first to pop up! I think it is hilarious, and it perfectly illustrates how I am about to feel! Yes stressing has officially begun, and Midterms are underway! It all just came so quickly. So hang on tight, its gonna be a bumpy ride!
