This is the Place

Our family recently decided to move (thus my temporary hiatus from the site!) and we ended up, surprisingly, in Cache Valley, Utah.  This isn’t where we intended to move when we started looking, but through powerful personal experiences with the spirit and answers to prayers, we know it’s where we are supposed to be – and it’s beautiful.Earlier this week, on a drive to work, I listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s recent CD, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing (is it any surprise they hit #1 on Billboard with this one?).  With that marvelous music in the background, and the early morning sunrise over the scenic valley, I felt truly overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, thankfulness for this earth, this life, my family, God’s plan for us, and, of course, the majesty of music. Music truly helps me feel the spirit and understand the gospel; I feel blessed to participate in all of it in my small way.  How kind Heavenly Father is to give us talents and encourage us to use them to bless one another!

Thanks to all of you who patiently awaited responses to your comments.  I think I can start to pay attention to the site again; with “The Move” behind us, I can finally get back to work.

    Unfortunately, yes. But that’s only temporary (I always have a plan).

    I suppose this places a hold on “fall festivities” that many of us have grown accustomed to? (Begins to think frantically about how to find another theatrical outlet that works so well with his schedule…) Maybe I could become a corner street musician??

    Yes! We’d love for you guys to come up some weekend and hang out. We certainly miss all of our “Utah County friends” and wish we could move you up here!

    Hey buddy!

    I’m glad you guys are liking it there. We think about you guys a lot and hope you are well. Keep posting your stuff. I can’t get enough of it. I play through your pieces every couple months and just hope someday they’ll call me again to be choir director….sigh….

    We’ll think up an excuse to visit soon!

    Thanks! We are still loving it. I’m glad the site is useful – I’ll keep at it!

    Stumbled on your site! Welcome to Cache Valley. I never thought I’d end up here. Keep up the good work!
