IVA US Teacher's Conference 2013

This weekend Preston and I had the opportunity to be a part of the Institute For Vocal Advancement's teacher's conference. We met amazing people. Spencer Welch from Canada, Tom Bathgate from Edinburough Scotland, and teachers from LA, Texas, Vegas and even those watching the conference online from all parts of the world. It kind of sparked me with thoughts of traveling and experiencing different cultures and meeting people from everywhere. Preston and I for sure want to look into options like that right after he graduates from college in 2015. We are always up for adventures. Oh, we love Linda Tomkinson... she's one of our favorite people on earth, and we are her vocal babies. The end.

Summer!

OUR Notebook Story

Well here it is... the start of our journey together written down. The beautiful things, the funny, the hard, the special things...the things we never want to forget.

We have had so many adventures already. I need them written down so at the end of our lives, we can look back at all the beautiful memories we have shared together. When someone asks, "What have you done in your life?" Here's our hard copy of evidence that we did a whole lot of AWESOME.
