Guess who's the new ward organist?

Yep, that would be me. I got a call from the 1st Counselor on Saturday night at 9 pm to ask if I would 'substitute' on the organ Sunday and feeling guilty because I couldn't think of one good reason not to, I said yes. He did ask if I'd played before and I said "Not for people to sing".

Then, Sunday morning I got a call to meet with a member of the bishopric. I've known for a week that I was probably getting the Sunday phone call, I just didn't think I'd get the 9pm Saturday call. (as a side note - that makes 4 callings and 3 of them involve the piano/organ. Where did all the piano players go? They better find some in the ward soon...I've only got 2 months left in the ward.)

My roommate said I did great, but I don't think I did that well. I guess you'll know where to find me this week...at the church, practicing!

"So cute with capris in the summer!"

It's surprising what can make a day better. A 'fun' email, a phone call from a friend or just wearing cute shoes. I've had a rough week at work and was not at all excited about going to work today. As I was getting dressed this morning I decided to wear my new cute shoes. My sister talked me into getting them by telling me 4 or 5 times that they will be 'so cute with capris in the summer!' I'm sure they will be cute with capris, but they are also cute with my jeans and a skirt.
