Well, what can I say. I've been in Oregon for the past two weeks and I've been having an absolute blast! I've been hanging out with my best friend and her family, and we've done a bunch of fun stuff...mostly low-key but it's still a great time! We watch movies, go out for coffee, swim at the pool, go to the beach, sun bathe outside anywhere, go for walks, go shopping, etc. But it's just been really relaxing and enjoyable for me. And I actually have another whole week to look forward to (I come back home on the 11th)...yipee! I already have a bunch of pictures taken and I'll have more by the time I'm back...I'll be sure to post some here!

Other than that...I'll be going to my favorite piano camp in Chicago in 2 weeks now as well and I'm preparing to play a saxophone solo on the faculty recital (I'm a counselor so that counts as faculty), which should be a good experience in many ways...I'm getting back in playing-shape and looking forward to it! This camp is always a huge highlight of my summer and I always feel so fortunate to be going back again...it's just an amazing and memorable experience. I can't wait!

And then...after piano camp I will be heading to Montana for most of the rest of the summer, where I will be visiting with my grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins, and practicing like crazy on sax and piano for the start of the school year. Great times! And then before I know it I'll be back at school again for the start of my junior year...scary, unbelievable, all that...but I will be very happy to go back, that's for sure! I love school...there's nowhere I'd rather be!

That's all for now...will update again soon! :)
