Josh and Amanda Hall: Hello Blog World!

I swear that I am still alive I have just been super busy with school this semester. This is my last week of real-school. This is what I have been calling it because next semester I am technically still in school but I will be student teaching so I am not counting it as real-school. I am so excited to student teach and I can't wait to start that next page in my journey to becoming a music teacher. I will give you the quick low-down on what I have been up to.

21 credits .... yeah don't even ask me how I made it to the end of this semester and I might possible pull straight a's! Not bragging or anything....
My last book work semester at ISU.
2 jobs. I have been teaching piano and then at the beginning of the semester I was working for a cleaning company.
Into the Woods! I was Cinderella in Into the Woods and it was such a great experience!! I will post pictures later in the blog. I loved being in this musical and I don't really know what to do with myself now that it is over.
My senior recital was in February. I felt like it was very successful and I could really see the growth form my freshman year to now. I have the best voice teacher ever! DLF has been such an inspiration to me and I am so fortunate to have been able to work with her. Also a shout out to my awesome accompanist Trent Clegg. He is such a great person to collaborate with and I love every time I get to work with him. Unfortunately, all the pictures that were taken were by other people and I haven't gotten copies yet otherwise I would post some.
Josh has gotten really busy with work and is definitely going to be hiring 1 and possibly 2 employees which is really good for us. The unfortunate part is that I won't get to see him a whole lot until he gets some employees because he is soooo busy! For example tonight he is on a job that has to get done by tomorrow because the carpet people are coming in so he will probably be there through the night because he just started it.
