Someone hire me.

well here I sit, once more in my favorite coffee shop in Denver staring out the window at the hustle and bustle of Regis University which happens to be right across the street. Clearly Regis students are not on spring break.

My trip home has been great. Very relaxing. When I got home friday, my family and my aunt and cousin went out to get some good Mexican food and then my parents and I went to the Boulder Theater (obviously in Boulder) to go see Chick Corea. He's a jazz musician that's had something like a forty year career and he is absolutely amazing. He's been doing alot lately with latin/flamenco music, and this concert was nothing but that. They even had a professional flamenco dancer come out for some of the songs. It was pretty much beyond words. I'll just leave it at the fact that it was the best concert that I had ever been to (jazz or otherwise).

Then on Saturday, we went over to see my grandparents which is always a treat and then went shopping for an outfit for me to perform in. Perform open heart surgery I mean. Just kidding, we actually ended up just getting an outfit for me to wear for the Concerto Concert which by the way is coming up quickly. yowzas! I'm excited! Then after that we ended up going to see the Ballet. They performed Prokofiev's Cinderella and it was gorgeous. The denver center just built a new opera house which is also where the ballet performs and it's amazing in there. All of the seat backs have these little computer screens that give the synopsis of what is going on during the ballet and should you be seeing an opera, it would give the translation. Neato!

Oh my goodness also when we were out shopping, I ran into an old friend from high school that I hadn't seen for a really long time. And she apparently is getting married at the end of next month. It was kind of weird, I have a hard time getting super girly excited about things like that. For whatever reason, the first thought that pops into my head is "why?" Which makes me sound like I have no heart at all. Maybe I just feel like I'm so young and don't have any prospect for that sort of thing that it's hard for me to understand. I never really pictured marriage being a huge deal in my life. Honestly it's easier for me to picture myself as a 30 something that's still single than it is for me to picture myself married. I know that's pretty weird, but eh, someone's gotta be the crazy old single lady down the street that the neighborhood kids talk about right?

Well anyway, so that was pretty much my weekend. Today I made up my resume and have been doing some internship hunting. I have an interview tomorrow so pray for that. I'm excited to see where God takes me with this internship. On another note, I wrote out my support letters for Peru, which I will address and stamp tonight and we'll see from there. Oh yeah, I also randomly printed out an application for mission work with the Lutheran church. Basically, I'm going to send it in and if something comes up, then it will come up. I put on there that I am interested in Latin America and available in June of 2007. There are some churches in Venezuela. I've always wanted to go visit there. Who knows what will happen.

I surely don't know. I'm just interested to see how things turn out.
