Miss Amazing

Miss Amazing: Celebrating the abilities of girls & women with disabilities.

The Miss Amazing foundation is a wonderful thing.  I was lucky enough to spend about 18 hours volunteering at their Miss Amazing Utah pageant this weekend held at Utah State.  It was so much fun to work with these wonderful little girls and women.  They truly have the most gentle kindhearted spirits. And this was an experience I never want to forget.

These two are twins and truly are just balls of energy

some of the lovely women I volunteered with

This is Elizabeth. She made me a wonderful necklace

This is cute little Macey.  She is 5 years old. Basically she was attached to my hip most of the night.

This is another Elizabeth after crowning.

Jill is a friend to all, she even made a boyfriend list and had all the male volunteers sign it. She also presented me with a friendship bracelet the second day.

Tawnie was a queen last year and is such a sweet heart

And this is Kiya. She sang the song Beautiful and did it so amazingly well that it brought me to tears.

Frantic Flustered Frazeled

I'm sorry I have not posted in a while. Basically the downward spiral known as my life is currently causing me a lot of stress. Last week was spring break and I got to go home and play "mom" for the week. I cleaned, did laundry, drove carpool, took my little brother to the DMV among other things. Now it is Wednesday and here's what's happening: my laptop won't charge and is completely dead, since it is dead I have to redo a massive scholarship application packet because even though I have finished it I have it saved on my laptop, I left my phone charger in sandy, I have tons of homework to do, I have meetings till 7:30 tonight, it rained today and ruined my hair, I also left my scriptures in Sandy, I haven't been able to sleep, and I'm pretty sure the application I turned in to become a director in the service center is lost because I haven't gotten a phone call for an interview. So I am a little stressed.
But seeing as today is a Wednesday I just finished playing piano in the Skyroom. Words cannot describe how grateful I am and how blessed I am to get to play here. It is a set aside hour three days a week where no one can interrupt me and my only job is to play this gorgeous baby grand piano. It helps me gain perspective, relax, and clear my mind. My problems have obviously not gone away but at least they seem a little more manageable.
Oh and a huge shout out and thank you to Chris Glaittli for giving me a spectacular hug when he saw me today. It was definitely needed.
