= time to catch up on my blog
Last I posted was in October - one advanced pathophysiology class ago, a sinus surgery ago, Christmas ago, lots of practice ago, several parades ago, many parking lot practices ago, a radio gig ago and the beginning of the new games seasons ago. Let my catch you up:
1. Advanced pathophysiology- I passed...with an A!!!!
2. Sinus surgery- no pictures but it wasn't fun and the recovery KICKED MY BUTT!!
3. Christmas- Kent's parents + Kent's brother, Mark and his wife, Navah + my parents +Kent's uncle and aunt + Stephen + Annette and her BOYFRIEND!!! (Mark)= great family time
Mark got the biggest stocking (Annette was NOT happy)
Mark got the grilling from the dad and grandparents and great uncle and aunt. I couldn't have planned it better myself-he and Annette sat facing all 7 of the elders- 6 of which are retired missionaries. Bless his heart, he passed with flying colors

7. Parking Lot pracitce
One day when I was practicing a tow truck drives through the parking lot and the driver gave me a big thumbs up-made my day
On another day a large delivery truck pulled into the parking lot by me (we share a parking lot with a radio station and people come by to pick up prizes they have won). All of a sudden I heard a loud band-sounded like a gun shot. Kid you not-my first thought was to check my bag pipe bag for gun holes. It was just the truck back firing.
8. FM 105.5
My friend, Catherine (who I met while caroling at the hospital) is the Sunday afternoon DJ on FM 105.5 and likes to interview local musicians. So, in an effort to publicize our upcoming concert Graham, Josh and myself went to her studio and spent an hour with her talking about the concert, playing and piping, and chatting. Now I wish I had taken some pictures.
9. First games of the season-Northeast Florida Highland Games:
Grade V band - we're a motley crew but we got 4th place!
Grade IV (I play the tenor drum) got 2nd place.
10. Our upcoming concert:
