Genesis 1:1

This is my first blog. I know I am behind the times, but I am old and old folks are allowed to take their time.

I am not sure I want to share this blog at all. I guess I'll be pretty vague about things until I get comfortable.

About me:

I'm married with a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter. We have a sweet dog named Radar. I am sure I'll post some pictures of him. He is watching me right now, as if to ask me why I can't find anything more interesting to do!

I love to sing. I have always loved to sing, but never felt I was more than mediocre. Growing up, I went to a church that had only a cappella music, so I learned to read music very early. I took a few piano lessons in second grade and felt that I did pretty well. My older sister took piano lessons for many years and I remember going to her recitals and dreaming of when I would be able to play, too. I never was offered piano lessons and didn't find out why until I was grown. My sister didn't like to practice and my parents didn't want to have to force yet another child to have to practice, so they just never asked me if I'd like lessons. I doubt if I would have practiced, either.

After my daughter got old enough to take care of herself, I decided I needed a hobby. I decided to take voice lessons. I happened to find an ad that piqued my interest and called the teacher. We have worked together for four years and I love every lesson!

I am tired today. Saturday was my daughter's prom and I had driving duty at 1 a.m. and at 4:30 a.m. Then, a few hours later, I had a performance in DC from 3-5 p.m. I had a solo I had only just learned. I was very worried about it and although I think it worked out, it was very tiring to do. Loved the song, just wish I had been able to practice it with the chorus a few more times.

I think this is enough for a first post. I can delete it later!
