Where to begin where to begin... I guess there's really just two things that have been going on recently...
For starters, we've been working on starting up a chapter of SAI here on GMU's campus :) That's Sigma Alpha Iota and its a womens music fraternity (argue with me and I will be forced to slap you)...and I'm really excited about this :D We're still in the works but I think we're making progress and getting somewhere :) More to come on updates with that...
The other thing that happened this past week was a good friend of mine and my older oboe sister in our studio (there's only three of us haha), lost her older sister in an accident in Orlando, Florida. The accident happened in the early morning and only two people died, one of them being Katie's sister, Shannon. If you care to read the article or know more, here's a link for you:

The Kane family has been in my thoughts and heart (if I prayed, they'd be in my prayers as well). If I've taken anything away from this, I'm trying to learn to live my life to the fullest, and I've always kind of believed in this but hearing about such a tragedy that happened to someone who surely doesn't deserve it to a family who has raised such a wonderful person like Katie, I can only imagine how wonderful the family is, and I wouldn't wish this upon anyone, but especially them. It just goes to show you, death can affect anyone, young or old, randomly, whether they be sick or completly fully healthy. Don't take anything forgranted, and splurge a little sometimes. Sorry to end on such a somber note, but it's been playing on my mind a bit. On a happier note, congrats to Katie for being one of five winners in our schools concerto competition! She's a fine player and deserves that win very much :)
That's all for now, I'll try and remember to post more often haha.
