"Piano Girl"

Elise has been teaching piano for the last few years. It's been a wonderful experience for her and she has loved the kids she teaches! Pictured below are the students who could come to the recital. She had two recitals back to back on a crazy busy day (of course) She'd been gone to school since the wee hours of the morning and after school was helping interview for new candidates for next year's student body officers and the alloted signup time for BYU housing online was at the same time- of course. She was a bit stressed doing it at the same time while texting me. If she was the interviews she couldn't talk on the phone, if she took her laptop into the hallway she lost internet connection. And, she'd been so busy, she hadn't fully decided on where she wanted to live yet.... and the clock was ticking. Ahhhh.....

I had visions of us sitting down at the computer, having a mother daughter moment choosing housing.. uh no. Elise's schedule can be nuts. She did a great job, got it all done, felt prompted to choose a certain dorm, signed up and was home a few minutes before the first recital started. The recitals were darling and her students performed wonderfully. It was fun to visit with their families too! I took care of the desserts in between texting with Elise about housing, doing primary stuff and handling Jacob who had just broken the neighbor's window... and running to the store for papergoods at the last minute because I hadn't even thought we might need cups and plates! Ahhh...don't we love days like this? It ended up being a very fun evening though! We were really proud of her!

  4. What a great thing to have accomplished so much this year. She is training for "bigger" things ahead. I am just amazed at what these kids get done with so little time. Thankfully they are young and don't need sleep. In the past many years I have been working with the youth I truly believe this generation is INCREDIBLE! (and that's not just because we have young adult teenagers!) They do so much with such willingness and aren't afraid of hard things. Congrats to Elise on finishing out a wonderful hectic memory filled year. We are so proud of her and can't wait to see what's ahead. :D
