Insert Quote about Disney and Dreams Coming True

Wow. So much has happened within my first two weeks of college! The first week was pretty slow, since I was still getting used to the flow of my schedule, this past week zoomed by. 

Gosh, where do I even start? So much good news!

First of all, I am still surprised I am 2nd chair in symphony orchestra. It's a big responsibility for sure! I can only imagine the responsibility of the concertmaster.....

Lots of people complain about how "there's nothing to do in Rexburg". Are you serious?! Look around! There's stuff EVERYWHERE! I've done ballroom dancing, a hip hop workshop, other fun, social dances. I've gotten ice cream for $1 (did not know this was possible in America), Capoeira (Brazilian martial arts), had a Belgian waffle dinner. . . and there's a ton of other stuff I still want to do but haven't done yet. 

I have many performing opportunities here. The other day, I decided to go audition for BYUI's Got Talent. I auditioned with the same hip hop piece I performed at the Freshman Talent Show. The judges seemed to like it a lot, but then they asked what Disney song it was? Wuut? Turns out, BYUI's Got Talent Auditions are NEXT week. That day's auditions were meant for Disney numbers. So, they asked if I knew any Disney songs. I knew Pirates of the Caribbean, so I spontaneously played an excerpt from He's A Pirate, and they seemed pretty satisfied. Today I found out I AM performing in this Disney show called Magic Moments! Maybe I'll also perform in BYUI's Got Talent. . . we shall see! Anyways, after my random Disney audition, I was interviewed by the BYUI Scroll (college newspaper. I'm not sure how I feel about all this attention, but I guess I better use it in the most humble way possible; can't get prideful here and slack off!

Speaking of the newspaper, I Instagrammed a picture of myself blowing this GIANT bubbles last Friday and it ended up in the BYUI newspaper! That bubble-making was amazing. A random guy on campus just had a big bucket of soapy water and some rope and people came by and made bubbles. 

BUBBLEZ!!!!!! Perfect distraction.

Okay, now for the REALLY exciting news. . . Yes, it gets better. (drumroll please)

This Wednesday, my roommate, Macie, and I are attending a Josh Groban concert in Boise. SO EXCITED. Yesterday I checked the fan club page that I'm a part of (I'm so obsessed) just to check it out. I randomly signed up for a possible chance to meet and greet Josh Groban before the actual concert. GUESS WHO WON. 

FREAKING OUT. I AM STILL FREAKING OUT. I GET TO MEET JOSH GROBAN OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of those things that I've only imagined. I don't usually win raffles like that. I mean, I almost didn't really care if I lost because I already have REALLY good seats! But, HOLY MY COW I get to meet him! He gets to meet ME! (I didn't mean that in a cocky way) I want to be his violinist so badly. This is my chance! THIS IS IT. God is POURING blessings on me; I am so overwhelmed! 

Now that my life is absolutely PERFECT right now, let's hope things don't get out of hand. . . I know God can use me in great ways, but I gotta make sure Satan does not take over. 

In other news, I got to FaceTime my mom and the Fox family this morning. My first violin student, Rebekah Fox got baptized today! This is really the first time I have missed home. . . I wish I could have been present for Bekah's special day and eat my mom's delicious cooking and homemade salsa at our house, but I know Rexburg, Idaho is where I am supposed to be right now. 

Look at this precious nugget! Baptized and ready to become a true Daughter of God

I can testify to everyone that amazing things happen when we get out of our comfort zone! So, don't even think about the fear, just DO it. You'll be amazed at the impact you can make on the world. 

I'M MEETING JOSH GROBAN.
