Ten Years

My how time does pass. As fast as it seems today, I've worked long and hard to get where I am and to be the person that I chose to be today. I'm not by any means where I want to be but on the path.

I've started and been a part of numerous bands that have seen some good times and lots of bad times. Some of the most memorable moments of my life lived between a recording studio and a van and falling asleep while Greg spent hours mixing into the night. I've lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix (twice) and moved to Salt Lake City to live and go to school. Ten years ago I lost something I thought I'd never have again. Since then, she returned to me and now I've lost her again. Since then I've been married and divorced.

I've completed 4 years in college and transferred to a music program that has allowed me more playing opportunities than I could have ever hoped for. I've learned to play the piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, and french horn along with a world of percussion. Played 2-3 concerts per month for the last 3 years, played various different parts in musicals, and played more at churches than I ever thought I would.

Moving forward and excited to see what the next ten years will hold. I'm sure it won't be what I have planned but will work with what I'm given and enjoy the process.

Shining Star

You've always been my shining star that's always just out of reach. We seem to be destined to be a apart, yet never allowed to forget the love that explodes when we're together. They say that pain reminds us we're alive, in that case I've never felt more alive. As much time as I've had to enjoy you, like a shooting star our time together has come. The universe calls, it's time to go back to the destiny that awaits. I can't help but feel torn and a bit broken but if the past has proven anything it's that we'll see each other again. Like a long distance comet, our time to pass close will return. The time has come to say, "good bye."
