Scott, Michelle & Leah at Corona Del Mar Beach

It's been a while!

I know, I know - it's been a while since we've updated.  But, can you blame us?  I'll do my best to catch up now.  

Scott is not working right now because of the major drop in the California home market.  This has actually been a great blessing, in ways we are uncovering every day.  The best part of Scott being home is the time he been able to spend with Leah.  He has all his schoolwork to stay on top of still, plus interviewing, but with him home our stress level has dropped even more than home prices.  

I have been busy this quarter with the Laguna Dance Festival, assisting Prof. McKayle with the UCI Etude Ensemble, and choreographing for the graduate concert New Slate.  It has been crazy. But the craziest part of all has been my new calling in church as the ward choir chorister - what a riot!  It felt like some kind of prank at first and I still catch myself trying to hold back a laugh while I'm up there conducting.  Who would have thought?

We love hearing from family and friends - and hope to spend some time catching up on that over this holiday break.  Hugs to you all!
