Adios Mexico

The company Sam works for, Infusionsoft, has beening planning a trip to Puerto Vallarta for about a year. I've been practicing my Espanol for several months now, and thanks to the swine flu outbreak, our Mexican vacation has been cancelled. No bueno. The good news is we will be able to drown our sorrows in a pina collada Maui style. Aloha! We are getting quite excited for the trip and are so grateful that Sam has such a great job.

We've had a busy month, and apparently I've been so busy that I haven't posted for quite some time. Sam's mom and sister Stephanie were in town for their spring break a couple of weeks ago, and then Shawna and her daughter Bailey came and stayed with us for almost a week. It was fun to see them and have them here. Bailey is especially darling and has grown bunches since we saw her at Christmas. Unfortunately I am a slacker with the camera and don't have any fun pictures to post.

We don't have much else to report except that I get to play the organ in Stake Conference tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous and have seriously considered calling a special fast. Luckily the songs are all fast enough that if I make a mistake no one will have to hear it for long. It may even be quick enough that no one will notice -- yeah right. My nerves are getting a little freaky. So think of me when you're sitting in Sacrament meeting tomorrow listening to your ward organist. And say a little prayer for me. Muchos Gracias.

So you get to go to Hawaii instead?!? Even better!!! That's awesome!! And Maui is fantastic!! The Road to Hana, the black sand beach (made more of smooth stones), the 7 sacred falls (which I've heard are no longer sacred for whatever reason...) past those if you keep hiking is a bamboo forest.... Maui is awesome! :D I want to hear all about it!!

Also- Sam works for Infusionsoft?? Is that a company that sells software to medical offices or something? I think my brother Luke just got a job there!!

Surely you sound better than me pounding on a keyboard with no foot pedal. Calling me a piano player is a stretch, but organ-style on a keyboard at the spur of the moment is horrible. A capela would have been soooo much better...

Back to Hawaii then? I think I would rather go there then Mexico but that might be because I live in Mexico.. Might as well anyways ;)

I am sure you did great playing the organ I don't know why you are even worried :) Anyways hope you guys are doing good. Miss you guys!!

Oooh, stupid swine flu.

I would have thrown a tantrum. And then eaten some bacon.

Long lost cousin of mine! Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog, but I'm sure glad I did! It's been fun catching up! :)

Playing the organ in Stake Conference, huh? How Marjune Scheier-esque of you... I'm impressed. I don't think anyone in my ward even knows I play!! Don't ask, don't tell!

I'd say you are darn near fluent in Espanol. Sorry that you won't get to be using it, well that's not really true, I would be sorry if you weren't going to Hawaii! You lucky ducky. Hope you have a great time. If you happen to find any spare room in your suitcase give me a call, I'm sure I could squeeze into it.
