Lot's of stuff

It's been quite some time since I've last written. (almost a month) So much has been going on. Some of it's been good, some of it's been not so good. Let's start with my birthday. I turned 26 in Jan. I had a really good birthday. Leah, got me a cool new cd player for my car. I also went to my parents' house and they made me some mexican chicken and a nice cake. It was grovey. Now in to some of the bad stuff. My uncle passed away. I wasn't super close to him, but he was a good man and my family will really miss him. He was my father's older brother. It's kind of crazy. I don't have any grandparents left and that was my dad's only living sibling. It just reminds me of how precious life is, and how quickly it passes. I'll miss Uncle Earl.
The choir got back from our trip to L.A. We went down for the A.C.D.A. convention. We where asked to sing for them. We did quite a few difficult pieces. It was a very gratifiying experience. I've been to New York before, so I've expereinced some of the big city life, but it was quite a bit different in L.A. It was a cleaner city than I expected. I was also impressed with their mass transit system. Subways are really efficent, even though you have to be packed in so close to everyone. Also I was impressed that pretty much everyone I bumped into was nice. I had a great time. I'll be posting some pics up soon. I may even write a little more about it. I just wanted to get some of my thoughts down. Goodnight all.
