The start of the season...

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Partly because of all of the delicious food. Partly because it's officially socially acceptable to turn on the holiday tunes. But mainly because I get to spend time with my family. I cook all day with my mom while watching the parade (followed by whatever cheesy Christmas movie is on tv). It's really special to me - especially since I don't live at home. This is the time when me and my mom talk about all of the important stuff - my future, the family, life's ups and downs. I'm very much looking forward to some time at home this year.

Not only do I love listening to holiday music, but also I absolutely LOVE playing holiday music! Next weekend will be full of the Nutcracker with performances Friday, 3 December 2010 at 8 PM, Saturday, 4 December 2010 at 5 PM, and Sunday, 5 December 2010 at 4 PM.

The semester is winding to an end and my schedule is as busy as ever but I think it's important to take a few minutes to think about all of the things that I'm thankful for (in no particular order):

-A fabulous apartment all to myself.
-Wonderful friends.
-A supportive and caring family.
-Good health.
-A boyfriend who treats me right and who I love very much.
-A job that allows for me to also be in graduate school.
-My graduate school education.
-The opportunity to be an actively playing musician.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
