Yellow… Gold, what’s the difference?!

We don’t have a whole lot of yellow at out place… so I thought I’d show you some GOLD!

The neighbours have had to listen this baby blasting through the trees for the last week or so!

I learnt the saxaphone from year 3 to year 7, but if I think about it, that was just over a decade ago! Luke has always pretty keen for me to play msuic with him, even though I don’t know an instrument, so I finally sucummed tore-learning the saxaphone. My brother Amon has been playing it, which is good, because it’s all in working order etc.

Luke and I jammed a little bit over the weekend, and basically, I suck! I can never remember what notes come next in the little jammy things we do. I seriously just need to read the music (and remember where all the fingering is)!

One thing that’s really interesting though is how quickly it all comes back to you. I did a bit of a refresher on the weekend and I remembered pretty easily the fingering for the different notes. Don’t tell Luke, but I am reasonably excited about playing this instrument again. For me (it’s always been like this) practicing is my weakness, but maybe with Luke it will be different?

Do you have anything yellow at your place so that you can play along?

Do you play an instrument? Tell me your story!

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Seasons of Life…

In my short (almost) 23 years of life, I have been throough a few different seasons.
Here are just a few of my more favourite seasons…

My childhood: here I learnt to be creative, enjoy life, the importance of family…

Married life (current season): Here I’ve learnt, and am still learning, about patience, love, forgiveness, responsibility, joy.

Pepper (current season): Here I’m learning about responsibility, helplessness, unconditional love, happy tears.

Uni (the first time round): Here I learnt about resilience, teaching, passion, eLearning, adaptability, friendship.

Sad Little Heart

The feedback for this blog is still open… if you haven’t left any yet, I’d appreciate you stopping by to fill it out.

My heart is a little bit sad right now. My FAVOURITE subject at Uni is the one I’m struggling most with… I don’t know why it is. I’ve had to re-do every task I’ve been given so far, because it hasn’t been up to scratch.

Take a deep breath, and breath…

In one of my other subjects, my core subject, I’ve been writing my assignment. Today I re-read it and it doesn’t even make proper scense. It’s due midnight Thursday. So I’m feeling a bit stressed.

***** UPDATE******

I stared writing this on Wednesday, but it’s Friday now! Gah- time has gotten away with me! I handed in that core assignment… I posted a ‘help me!’ message on twitter, and Carly replied! So I got it all checked over by her and Luke before I handed it in. So it does actually make sense. And it turns out I had just read it a few too many times, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought…

I am SO glad that we have 4 days off. I am planning on re-doing the drawings I’ve been struggling with, and also get some extra work done  for eLA. My parents are coming over tonight (and possibly Hayden) for a (nother) Passover meal. It should be nice. We don’t have them over very often. We should probably do that more…

Quick question, how often do you have your parents over for dinner? My parents live seriously close- like on the same property, and Luke’s live about 15 minutes away, but we never seem to have any of them over. We definitely see them a fair bit- my dad at work, mum at weight watchers, and everyone briefly every afternoon when we pick up Pepper. Luke’s mum we see at church, and we go over there sometimes for dinner, and we see Luke’s dad every couple of weeks, either for dinner or just in the afternoon after work…

SO it’s not like we don’t ever see them… but I still feel like we should invite them round more?
