30 by 30 Item

I have accomplished another 30 by 30 Item. Pretty much. On Sunday my sister and I played a piano duet in my ward. My list says a piano solo but I think that counts. Plus, now everyone knows I play the piano so I am pretty sure I will get asked again... which could lead to a solo.
It went pretty good though. We play "The Spirit of God" which we played back in the High School days in our home ward but we had to relearn it all. I was a little worried as to how it would turn out but I think it sound pretty darn good.

One down... 27 to go!

Books & Music - Episode 8

Kind of short this time...

BOOKS:

The Hand That First Held Mine
by Maggie O'Farrell


Rating: MMMM(out of 5)
Two stories of Lexie and Elina and there struggles and joys of life and motherhood. Eventually the two stories end up intertwining. I really liked this book and even though it scared me out of my mind to be a parent I would definitely refer you to read it!

Leven Thumps and the Whispered Secret
By Obert Skye

Rating: MMMM1/2 (out of 5)
I am not sure if I ever did a review on the first one but this is the second of the series. There is five in all. I am really liking these books and I think the second one was better than the first. They are a mix of Harry Potter and Narnia. You learn about a whole new world of Foo and how Leven is one who can save the land from the evil. If you like fantasy books you will definitely like this. And I love the authors writing style. Some of the things make me laugh out loud!


MUSIC

Yellowcard
'When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes'

Genre: Alternative
Rating: MMMM (out of 5)
Top 3 Songs: Hang You Up, With you Around, For You, And Your Denial
Good album. A good addition to their collection of music. I don't think Yellowcard could ever go wrong but nothing can top of their Ocean Avenue.

Next time there will be more!!

Day 16 - Another picture of yourself

Sometimes I am just not photogenic...

I am getting my hair cut this week, so say goodbye to the longness!

_______________________________________

I confess. I have been a MAJOR slacker when it comes to blogging. All my fault. Even though I slightly blame it on the weather. I have no motivation when it is cold. Finally yesterday was spring weather and today is also, even though it is raining. April showers bring May flowers! I feel summer on the tip of my fingers, can't wait!

As you know I have the cutest nephews and niece around. Emett loves to "read" the Harry Potter books. He goes through every page, pretending he is reading. He has seen the movies and can remember everything that happens in each one, so he totally knows what is happening even though he isn't reading! Garet saw me on my laptop one day so the next Sunday he brought his and made us play on our laptops together in my room. This is that taking place, along with Emett reading Harry Potter and Mia just wanting to hang out:

So cute!

Yesterday I taught Pake how to play the piano and we did Yoga together. I love being an Aunt!

Internship is going amazing! This is what I walk out to at the end of my days:

If you haven't been to Temple Square you got to go soon. They have been working on all the flowers, the trees are starting to bloom, and the water displays are everywhere. Its beautiful.
