It has been a LONG time since I have thought about blogging. I just read my last post and it saddened me a bit. I ended up NOT getting my DMA but an Artist's Certificate, which is a post-graduate diploma focusing on performance and not necessarily the academic part of it. It's a LONGGGGG story and if you'd like to hear more, please let me know but I have put that part of my life behind me and am moving forward. 3 degrees in music is enough for anyone in a lifetime, perhaps in my next life you may call me Dr. but until then, it's just Steph :)
Speaking of looking forward, I have a BEAUTIFUL 3 1/2 year old daughter. (Pictured above with her Annie in matching dresses provided by Grandma) She is the most precious thing to me in the world. She is smart and witty and funny and just a blast to be with and hang out with. She makes me look at life in so many different ways.
This summer I thought that I was going to be enjoying 2 reunions with friends from the past, my 20th HS reunion and a girls weekend with some of my sorority sisters from college. Both plans have been thwarted by what I would call, completely unnerving but definitely necessary, purchases that we have had to make at home. All reserve $$ set aside for said reunions was spent on a new washer/dryer combo, a new mattress, a car, air conditioner coils and other necessary sundries that are for the home. HOPEFULLY I will still be able to take a vaca with my hubby and daughter to the beach for a week of R&R&S (rest, relaxation and SUN!).
So - I'll sign off for now but the time elapsed between posts will definitely not be as long as the last one :)
Cheers!
