LIFE IS SO GOOD.

So the bad days are starting to fly at the window. I am finally starting to get over Nick, slowly, but surely... but I will eventually. 'sigh'. ANYWAY, I MADE IT INTO HONORS CHOIR AGAIN THIS YEAR! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO EXCITED! I am one of the top high school sopranos in the state of Wisconsin! There is only about 25 of us! :D I know it sounds like I'm bragging, but I am just proud of myself, considering I was sick when I auditioned, and didn't feel the greatest about it. but apparently the judge thought otherwise! Also prom is coming up in about a month, and I am NOT going with Nick.c (wish I was still, but whatever.) I am going with one of my best friends named Gabe. I am so looking forward to my junior prom! Me and my mom are going to go shop for dresses today in about 30 minutes or so. She is so sweet. :) I love her to death. School has been rough, with the weather getting warmer and summer getting closer and closer everyday I can just smell it, my school work ethic is slacking...especially in Chemistry. WORST subject EVER by the way. So other than School sucking, I have been doing really well. Also, Solo and Ensemble is this Saturday, so I would appreciate it very very much if you would all pray that I make it to state with both of my solos! I am performing with 6 different events that day. 1) Musical Theater Solo: "Your Daddy's Son"-Ragtime 2) Classical Solo: "Ave Maria"-Gounod 3) Junior Triple Trio: "Three Spanish Ballads" and "Moon Song" 4) Senior Triple Trio: "Remember me" and "Yandro" 5) Old Abe Show Choir: "Finale B"-Rent and "Carry on my Wayward son"-Kansas 6) "Il Est Bel Et Bon"-Pierre Passereau
Those are the events I am apart of! :D I was just asked at the beginning of the week to join the Senior's triple trio, because one of there sopranos has an audition. Big shoes to fill, and only a few days to learn two new songs. But I have them pretty much memorized! yay! :) Anyway, that is what I have been up to the last couple of weeks. OH! One more thing- Luther College, is a private school in Decorah, Iowa. It has an amazing music program, and other very good programs as well. But the cool thing is that their top choir is coming to Eau Claire and singing at a church downtown. My voice teacher decided to surprise me and set up a one on one session for me to sing for the the director of that choir! I am SO excited! He is the one in charge of the music program there, and I get to sing for him! She is only setting this little deal up for me, and I feel SO thankful. I can't wait.
To conclude, life is going really well for me right now.. I still have my struggles (mostly Nick. :/) but I'm trying and praying for my feelings to fade, and to move on into a better direction. i miss you and love you all!
P.S. Soon I will post videos of me singing my two solos for you guys to watch and critique for me if you can. :) Again, i love you all.
Love always,
Jay

Spring Break 09

Spring is finally here! What better than to spend the day with my awesome brother? :)We went to the park and played basketball(well mostly I took pictures of course. :P) and just hung out. Afterwards we drove to culvers and got some delicious concrete mixers! Sooooo good. I always get my favorite plain mint, and justin got his cookie dough favorite. Spring break is going WAY to fast..but at least its getting warm! I was so happy to wake up and be able to wear capris! It was 68 degrees and we were all out soaking up the sun. :) This weather is making me have not spring fever, but SUMMER FEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trip to the U of M!

So this weekend Andrea and I decided to take a little trip up to Minnesota to see emily in the Twin Cities! We drove up there after school on Friday and stayed until late this morning and came back home. So here was our weekend:
FRIDAY: Left Home and drove up to the University of Minnesota and hung out in Emily's dorm for a while. Then We got ready for a night out on the town! We were going to go sing karaoke but that didn't work out, because we got there and found out you have to be 18...they wouldn't let us in...it was sad. BUT we ended up having WAY more fun. It was getting pretty late and the skyline looked SOOO beautiful! So we decided to walk to the bridge and take pictures. Then we walked back and stayed up listening to music and hanging out with her friends until early in the morning! It was a blast.
SATURDAY: The next morning, we went to breakfast at this cute little bagel place on the corner, it was SO good.(if you haven't tried those yummy smoothie drinks called "naked" you are missing out! They are delicious.) We decided it would be fun to go to Uptown and go shopping! All the stores were CRAZY expensive, since it was the city, we didnt buy much, but it was still really fun looking around at all the little unique shops. So we went shopping ALL day took a bus back the main area and found a DELICIOUS chinese food place. It was really expensive but the food dishes were seriously GIGANTIC! It was just the three of us and we had enough food for a small army! hahaha.. So we ate and ate and ate...and ate. hehehe. After that we walked back to Em's dorm, and we were all so tired..so we took about a two hour nap. :) It was great. Then we got up and got ready to go to a comedy show! But this wasnt just any comedian! It was BJ Novak aka co-writer and actor, Ryan, from the Office! He came to the UofM to perform for the students. He was absolutely hilarious. After that Andrea, Emily, and I went back to her dorm and we all felt like watching the Office so we did. :)
SUNDAY: The last day there we got up, and went to the food hall and ate breakfast, packed, and headed back home. On the way back Andrea and I stopped because we saw a GIANT THRIFT STORE!!!(our weakness.) We both love a good thrift store. I get it from Grandma, but I dont know where Andrea gets it from! :P So we bought some cool stuff. haha.

Anyway, it was an extremely FUN weekend, that made me want highschool to be over like NOW. I cannot wait for college, and having that independence...it was so great. I am really looking forward to exploring a new place, meeting new people, and just starting over. I know Im only at the end of my junior year, but senioritis is kicking in big time already! I'm one step closer to graduating everyday and I CAN'T WAIT! :)
