Last night, our choir got to perform as part of a musical fireside. Each of the different church groups in our area (wards) got together and sang one song that they were preparing for their Christmas program. Between each song, […]
This week I got to perform a couple of my Christmas songs, with a good friend of mine, Jennifer Griffiths. Jenn is a wonderful singer/songwriter and friend, and just happens to be Ms. Utah Continental. If you get a stereotypical […]

I made it! School has begun! We survived our summer, and I’m only a tiny bit sad that the rigors of routines and schedules are back in full swing. It’s been a full week, since last Sunday, but I wanted […]
