La de da...

In less than twelve hours I leave on an adventure with some of my bestest friends. The Drum Majors, a soon-to-be Drum Major, and I are going to a Drum Major leadership camp in California!

It will be epic, and I am very excited! :)

Anyways, on another note, I started this new book recently called The Help. It's a book about two African American maids in the early sixties in Jackson, Mississippi and how they come to meet a white woman who wants to tell their stories. What it's like to work for whites in such times. It's excellent and I highly recommend it!

One of many things I love about reading a new book is the feeling of anticipation. How I don't know whats going to happen but I feel it's something good. The mystery is astounding. I love how books take me in and take me away. How all I have to do is sit on my bed eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and I'm down in Jackson Mississippi rooting for people who didn't exist, but for an idea that did. An idea of freedom, of fairness.

How glorious it truly is! How freeing to read words on a page that turn out to be so much more than just words. How wonderful it is for a teenaged girl in Utah to travel the world and have adventures from her living room.

I thank my Heavenly Father for inspiring words! Not just for the fantastic books of Fiction and fantasy. Not just for the histories and biographies. But for the best words. His words. The greatest words I'll ever know. :)

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

AND IT'S PLAIN TO SEE...

The writers block is still lingering, but I shall do my best.

This weekend I went to Idaho to visit my sister and brother in law. They have the cutest apartment ever! I loved it immensely. We hung out, went to the mall, ate delicious food and watched a lot of telly.

"Well, to work!"

I also pushed a peanut, yes, a peanut, from my sisters front door to the street with my nose...don't ask...

Also,

THE SECOND MOVEMENT FOR MARCHING BAND IS SO UTTERLY SPECTACULAR AND EVERY TIME I HEAR IT I GET GOOSEBUMPS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO PASS OUT!

Yes, it's that amazing...

Next week I'm going to California for a Drum Major leadership conference!

It's gonna be a party.

And oh my goodness!!! I recently stumbled/was told about a Masterpiece Mystery series called "Sherlock" and IT IS UTTERLY FANTASTIC! It's Sherlock Holmes in modern day London (yesterday when I was telling my sister's friend about it I accidentally said "Latter-day London"...Ah, well, it was the Sabbath after all) Gah, it's fabulous!

Well, this has all been very random...I'm going to eat a cookie.

Sincerely,

Blah, blah, blah...

I have been struck...or is it stricken?...struck with a case of writer block.

Please forgive the lack of posts for a time while I get my creative juices flowing again.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

MARCHING BAND.

Glorious week.

I love marching band.

I cannot say it enough.

:)

Come see the parade tomorrow!

Also, "The Young Victoria" is an astoundingly marvelous movie with fantastic music.

I love it.

Happy Summer!

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

Tomorrow is a great day.

It's the beginning of something fantastic. Something epic. Something to laugh and cry about.

TOMORROW IS MARCHING BAND!

Life's complete once more.

Oh Marching Band, oh Marching Band, oh how I love you Marching Band!

YES! :D

It's slipping...

My desire to continue writing this blog is slipping, I can tell.

At least it's Summer. :)

Glorious sunshine.
