I have had the opportunity to do some amazing things this year. If I ever complain or seem to complain. You all have permission to smack me and remind me of this post. I try and catch myself, but you have permission to help me.
A few highlights:
Trip to India, to the Taj Mahal, and Germany
Performed again at the Poway Center of the Performing Arts MET2
Found a wonderful program for the piano called Synthesiagame.com
My parents 50th anniversary
Countless family accomplishments to (Trombone solos, to saving tackles in football, singing lessons, the list goes on).
