Late!

It seems that I have been seriously lacking in the blog posting department lately so I will give a brief update on the last several months:

October: my birthday! and a beautiful time of year in Michigan. Also I performed a concert, God's Trombones as part of the Christ Church Cranbrook Choir.

November: Thanksgiving was spent with our dear friends from church, Dr. and Mrs. Robinson as well as their daughter, Sara, and my sister, Vivian. Fun was had by all.

December: Lots of snow here in Michigan as well as my first Christmas season away from home. Sang in a Lessons and Carols service at CCC as well as quite a few Christmas Eve services. Christmas was also spent with Dr. and Mrs. Robinson and both of their daughters, Ruth and Sara.

January: We rang in the New Year with a surprise visit to Traverse City and spent a few wonderful snow filled days with Paul, Jodi, David and Hali (as well as the animals Chance, Dakota and Pouncer). Also received a brief break from singing (and handbelling) before preparation began for a Bach Cantata Concert, CCC Choir Cabaret and Lent/Easter. Dean also began working at Starbucks! :-)

February: Lent! And lots of hours at the doctor's office = very tired Giles. Also had wonderful visits from Margaret and Vivian (including picking out a bridesmaids dress and shoes!) and a visit from Momma and PeggyDee before her music audition at Hillsdale.

March: Bach Concert! Went well and only a few vocal hitches. I think we did okay considering how hard those pieces were! Easter is around the corner as well as spring *hopefully.* Road trip to PA next weekend (not this coming weekend) for a church seminar and a quick return for Palm Sunday. We're looking forward to our second Easter together at CCC and are very thankful for all the friends that we have gained in 2007 and how those relationships will continue to develop in 2008.

As for today, I have the day entirely off (minus handbells) and have so much I want to do I don't know where to start but I ended up finishing my book so now I'm off to try and be productive. :-)
