Surrounded by Such Talent and Beauty!

Okay! It's been forever since I have blogged. Like a full week! I can and can't believe it all at the same time. Things have been going swimmingly, finally getting into a swing and it feels great! So here is what has happened. I am going to try to sum everything up in pictures. Here we go!

(The above are from dinner on the Rhine! Sunset and beauty)

(Just a few more from the Fischer Stechen in case you missed all the others. HA!)

 (Stefan went to Moscow to sing last week and when he got back he had something new for the house!)

(The smallest one is smaller than my pinky finger nail......)

(I went out by myself for a little bit the other morning and had a blast! I felt like a real "German". Which is saying a lot since all that I can do at this moment is not entirely the bare minimum, but a little bit above that. This is a restaurant, and an old one at that.)

Found a small (about ten feet wide) coffee shop and had breakfast. As you can tell I was hungry and the crescent was heavenly and I took one bite and couldn't stop! The same goes for the Chai latte! Before I knew it an hour had passed and I had basically moved in with everything that I had all over this table! Nevertheless it was a very pleasant visit and I intend to not make it the only one!)

On my way back to the car I was going to stop at this music store and see if they had a CD that I want. Sadly, they were closed BUT! Look at this!!!!! This is a poster for the concert that we are putting on this month!!! If you look very closely you will see my name is the third down on the right upper corner! I just hope the reeds that I've broken in while I've been here will hold out and sound as good as they do today on the 27th. If you're reading this and you're near Hargesheim, Germany please come to our benefit concert! 

As the title of this says talent I would just like to brag about the family that has graciously let me into their home to help out! The Vinke family are absolutely fantastic and even though they will never replace my actual family they are helping a lot by helping me to fell welcome and I am blessed to have gotten the email back in May. I had no idea just what God had in store for my life after Lee University, but a lot of things are coming into focus. I still have no idea what God has in store for me (conductor of orchestras, singing in an opera or musical, playing clarinet or even working at a coffee shop.) As of right now, I don't know much of anything, but I do know that there is a plan and that it has started with a degree and now I am here. I know that there is a reason that I have a degree in music and that God has placed me with some really excellent musicians.

Ta ta for now!
