Time Flies, fun or not...

Here it is April and I see that it's been over a month since I've blogged! Where have I been???? Well, to tell you the truth, life has been the pits and when you're in the pits, you don't want to blog. Who wants a downer? Not me! So, I have chosen a new happy song. Everything, by Michael Buble though secretly, Imogen Heap knows how I truly feel. And Just for Now is my new anti-holiday song. Long story, but I swear Imogen's been a fly on the wall for the last 24 years of holidays. How did she know? I love my in-laws. My sister-in-laws I would take any day, but the others, only in small doses. So Easter, ummm yeah... and as Forrest Gump would say, "And that's all I have to say about that!" March brought lots of sickness, I worked tons, yet it was still difficult to get by, my parents both celebrated birthdays (Mom's 63 and Dad would be 65) and Kendal went with the choir to Disneyland! (Thanks Grandpa Mantzke)


But, April has started out wonderful! General Conference was amazing this weekend!!!! Jordan, Taylor and Joel got tickets to attend the Priesthood Session. So cool. My Mom is coming for a visit and I also get to see Celtic Women at the Paramount on the 19th!!!! Alex was so sweet and got me tickets!!! She is filling in actually for one of the main singers. I can't wait to finally meet her. (Look at my sister's blogs) My brother Christian used to live in Europe and dated Alex. It was quite the commute from Slovakia to Ireland, but they're still good friends even though he lives in the States now. April should be fun!!!!

Wow Beth...I just peeked in through Kaela's blog..hope you don't mind. I love, love, love Celtic woman. I am so envious! For a couple of years now I play one of their CD's every morning on my way to work....and when I'm in the car alone I can sound just like them! Can't do it when anyone is with me though! From what I recall of your voice you could rival them though. I love hearing good singers like you...guess I missed that line in the preexistence though. Enjoy that concert enough for me too1

I LOVE your new song choices. I've never heard Just For Now but have played it 4 times already this morning. I love your taste in music! And Micheal Buble is awesome as always :)

The Forest Gump quote that goes 'Run Forrest RUN!' Could be applied to your Easter too don't you think? ;)

Love you! AL

Hey Beth! Cheer up, better days are yet to come! I know mom is so excited to go out there! You will just absolutely fall in love with the Celtic Women and Alex is the sweetest and humble woman! It's too bad you couldn't meet her son and mother, they are a hoot! I hear you about the whole being sick. We've been sick since the week of Christmas and it's just been one thing after another! I'm going to be out of vacation days pretty soon and it's only April! We are going to Disneyland next month, so seeing Kendal's pictures makes me so excited to get there! So much fun! Love you!
