April/May Summup

What a busy spring season it has been! So so much has been going on!

I made friends with several CIM students this semester and as a direct result, enjoyed copious amounts of Brahms, Bach, etc. This is Shih-Ping. She graduated this semester and I had the joy of doing my first "Asian" hairstyle on her...

I finally hit the "menace" age. Yes, that is right, I turned 25. And we had a glorious festivus to celebrate. Pinata included! I tended to make the funniest faces when hitting the pinata -- as shown above.

You'd never believe that this picture was taken in April. But it was sadly, still THAT cold in Cleveland. Also, this picture is important to note, as this is "my other half".

Andrea and I are born a week apart, so we decided to have a big birthday bash at the apartment. I let her smack at the pinata first. Using a fleece scarf as a blindfold = a sweaty bad idea!

Girl's luncheon at Number One Pho. (And for the record, I still do miss Anne as a roommate). And I now know that I really don't care for Vietnamese food.

My birthday dinner at Momocho -- where the best quacamole in the city resides. They used sparklers as birthday candles. I thought it was super clever. And they didn't even sing me an awful birthday tune -- which I surely appreciated.

The Kirtland Temple had it's 175th (?) annual anniversary. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the 7:30 AM session. Hearing the Spirit of God in the temple is amazing in and of itself... but seeing the sunrise inside the building, made it just that much cooler.

I am surely getting my artist culture exposed while here in the Cleve. I have now seen: Wicked, My Fair Lady, Les Miserables and West Side Story... I am sure that there are more to come. The weirdest moment to date is still seeing the star from "Web Site Story" in the actual live broadway show...

I only can wonder what the summer will bring! (Both event wise and hair color wise! Ha ha!)
