"Happy Birthday to Momma!"

This is what I woke up to this morning: A special message from Lauren on the computer wishing me a Happy Birthday! (Now I feel like I don't want to mention my age-kinda funny). I'm very happy to be alive and for all the many blessings in my life.

Thanks Jim, Lauren, and to everyone-I had a fun day!

OCMCO Concert this Wednesday!

I've gotten a little behind in my blogging. I've considered giving it up due to how long it takes for me to keep it up. I suppose, since I'm still undecided, I'll catch up soon. ;)
But first since it's coming up this next week: the Orange County Mormon Choral Organization (OCMCO), we have a concert this week on Wed., June 11th at the Segerstrom Concert Hall in Orange County celebrating the spirit of America,"The Land That We Love".

I wish all of you could attend. I feel am not very eloquent or very proficient in my writing, but I wanted to just express that I am so grateful for the God blessed land in which we live. I probably live more days and weeks than I'd like to admit taking living where I do for granted.
As we've rehearsed the Patriotic music we're performing, it has reminded me of and increased my gratitude. I'm grateful for a land where we have the Liberty and Freedom to do choose each day what we will do, who we worship, and who we want to become. So many have sacrificed and are currently sacrificing their lives and their own freedom by fighting for what we enjoy today. I pray and hope that we will always show respect for our freedom by being a little more grateful, remembering and showing our individual allegiance to our Country, hold firm to its founding values and principles by not trying to modify them or change them with the sways of society, so that we can continue to have the joy of being a 'Nation Under God', blessed by Him, living in this great land of Liberty, the land that I love. God Bless America!
I love Victor Borge. He is a Pianist and Comedian. Here is a silly orchestra joke/clip I found on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXDEDClfZhc
Here's to a great and fun concert!
