Good Excuses . . . I Promise!

So I haven't written in quite awhile . . . like over a month, sorry about that. It hasn't been for lack of blog worthy thoughts, just a lack of time. Maybe I'll get to some of them another day, but today won't be the day either. Life is good and busy as usual. My growth group as officially started up again and looks to be going for most of the summer. I may slowly be taking on some extra work besides the job I have now in an attempt to begin my own small business on the side. We have another voice recital coming up at the end of June or beginning of July. And so, if those aren't good enough excuses, I have also had the blessing of spending a fair amount of my time in the last few weeks with a wonderful, beautiful young lady who I have somehow convinced that I'm a decent enough guy to hang around with. (I also thought I would add a couple pictures from last weekend since I know a couple of you are curious.)


Beth and I had the privilege of traveling to Butte last Saturday to see my mother perform (in the Chorale) in the Butte Symphony. They performed Mozart's "Requiem"; not a bad way to start your Sabbath evening. We also attended a reception in the "Art Chateau", a large, old, elegant home just a couple of blocks north of the Motherlode Theatre. Of course there was more reason to have a fireplace in every room back them, but I still love it; and I think this was the first house I have been in that had a ballroom on the third floor!

Here's one more picture . . . had to try playing with my computer's picture effects.
