MARCH MADNESS

Candice Parker dunking! She will the first round pick for the WNBA in the near future!
The LADY VOLS going to the BIG game yet again!

Oh what a fantastic month March is. Spring is here and the warm sunshine is upon us. Plus it is the great month of college hoops tournaments. This year both of my favorite teams are in the final game - also known as "the ship!" My boys the Kansas Jayhawks and the Tennessee Lady Vols!! The next two nights are going to be great times of watching some great basketball games.

The overall trip to Los Angeles was really great. The pictures above are taken by my good friend Melissa Yoh. We got to see many things, however my personal highlights were the hike up Griffith Park - which was really just walking up a big dirt path. It was just pretty and it did not feel like you were in a big smoggy city. The other highlight was being on the Ellen show. It was just neat to see all the behind the scenes things that go into making a show. Besides the guests were good: Courtney Cox, Brodie Miller (handsome, wonder if he loves Jesus?), and an American Idol singer Amanda something? Hope you enjoyed the few pictures.

Rat a tat tat

Well this weekend I had my first drum lesson! Yes this is true I am trying to be musical. I have really always wanted to play the drums (or at least since I was in fifth grade) and my parents were like you can play an instrument just not the drums, so I ended up playing the flute in middle school - not as much fun at all!! So a year ago my great brother bought me a snare drum for my birthday...it was so exciting! So I tried to learn how to play from a video and a book but that did not really work out too well kind of hard. So this past birthday my friend DJ bought me some drum lessons! And yesterday was the first one - since my schedule is kind of hectic I had to wait awhile. So it went really well and I had a great time, it is not very often that I do something for myself and by myself that is so rewarding and just plain fun. Now I do not think that I will be leaving my job or the state to go our tour or anything like that. However I do want it to become a fun hobby and maybe learn a few worship songs that I can play along with on my iPOD!
