engagged to be marred



So my life has been embroiled in wedding and work. Thankfully two nights ago Devin and I escaped to watch some LOTR extended Return of the King special features!! ;)

The biggest thing I have realized is that I am not very good at taking posed pictures. We had two engagement photo shoots with a friend out here and I just felt stupid the whole time. But....we chose a picture and are now addressing announcements!

2 diff spontaneous visits to NY


1st trip to NY this summer was to Palmyra! i went with David and Alyse Wheeler and singles from their stake. They asked me on Wednesday and we left on Friday morning at 7 am!

on the way we stopped for gas in this lovely-named town.


then we set up our tents! this was really exciting for me since i had never set up a tent let alone slept in one.
we went to the sacred grove, got to do baptisms in the palmyra temple at midnight--who can say theyve done baptisms at 12 am??-- made cards for our armed forces for memorial day, played lots of frisbee, and played cards while everyone else was getting their groove on at a hoppin' singles dance.


next trip to NY was for a camp i attended called "Clarinetopia." awesome i know. Abby Clough Tippetts and I went and played in master classes and recitals. i learned a lot and now know that i need to practice like 1000x what i normally do. the camp was on long island, but after it was done, abby and i went to the city to play for a bit before i took her to the airport in new jersey.



here im in front of the location of my next job... (this is where the new york philharmonic plays)

we also went to the Guggenheim museum. i think i liked the architecture more than the art....


and the inside

NY is pretty cool. im glad i live so close and am able to drive up when i feel like getting out of my house.
