Exciting day!

Just wanted to report that Tut-tut is doing well and recovering nicely. He is back to jumping on everything and going after Cleo (the other old cat I have!) so I know he is feeling better.
Today was a pretty tiring but exciting day for me and one that I have been waiting for for a very long time. One of my long time goals has been to try taking voice lessons but till now have had no opportunity and also have been too scared to persue it. Of late I have been thinking it was time to work on that and make that dream a reality but had not clue how to do that. Through the kindness of some friends who have a voice teacher in Canada and were willing to take me there and introduce me it looks like it will happen!!! I spent the day there, feeling like a sponge absorbing everything I could (my brain feels like mush at the moment) and I even had a short little lesson of sorts which was pretty exciting. I will actually start taking lessons next week and will hopefully continue until the end of Sept. when the teacher will be leaving for the UK for a year. I was and am a bit nervous but really excited as well and hope that by Sept. I will have a good foundation to keep me going while he is gone. I learned so much and can't wait to get started. I am so thankful to Ethan for suggesting that I talk to Johanna about going up because I would have never thought of suggesting it myself. Time will tell how well I do but I was very impressed with the teacher and I loved he straight up style...no beating around bush with him and he has a great sense of humor. Both qualities that I work well with. Not sure how I will do skating, voice and Toastmasters all at once but these are all things on my "To do before I get old" list and they are all thing I really want to do so I will make it work! Anyway, I know this wasn't probably nearly as exciting for you as it it for me but I had to share!
