Time for an "official" post

I have realized that besides the link to Jörgen van Rijen on YouTube, the only other post I have done in a while was an unofficial announcement that we are going to Iowa. Forgive me! It's official. It has been official for several weeks. I have signed a contract! I was offered the Iowa Performance Fellowship. It is a great honor to have that scholarship - there are only two awarded each year. We are really grateful and can't feel blessed enough for this opportunity.
We are moving to Iowa next week! This situation is what seems to work out best all around on every side. We have been frantically trying to get everything in order for the move, on top of the recital, gigs, and a nasty paper that was due today. There are still a few more things, but they are coming together nicely.
For now, Go Hawkeyes!
