music at last

so I know it's been FOREVER since my last post, so I decided it was probably time to get er done :)

Ok, well for starters I got a guitar finally, and I absolutely LOVE it!!! I'm not very good yet, I'll admit it. but it has only been 3 weeks, and I am getting better :) Mostly I just love having music in my life, in a way that I haven't for far too long. it's kinda crazy, because my little brother just started playing too, only a few days after me. :) I wish we could get together sometime, play and share everything we've both learned, but he's going to school, and busy trying to find himself a wife, haha, so we just don't do it. it's kinda crazy, cause the 2 of us have always had a slightly strained relationship, mostly because we're only 2 years apart, and had quite a bit of friction for all the teenage years. but he's the only one that I haven't really gotten to have an adult relationship with yet. I feel like us both learning guitar now is opening a door for us to have something in common, and that it could lead to a better friendship beetween us, which I'm really excited for. :) Now I just need to figure out what song I want to learn to play, so far all I can really do is play a few chords. I bought a beginner guitar book when I bought my guitar, that's cool for learning the basics, but it sure would be nice to have someone around who played well, and could give me some pointers, and maybe teach me some of the things that are just easier to learn from a person, than a book. but all in due time... I'm sure when I'm ready, that the right person will come along :)

Oh, my little leeya is 9 months old now, and crawling like a champ. she can stand on her own, and pushes toys around the house, so that she can walk around like her brothers, so SOO cute :) she starts to dance anytime there's music (even the jingles at the begining of cartoons, or commercials) and of course anytime I sing anything :) seems like she already has my love of music in her blood :D it's just awesome. my boys do too, they both love music, and having mommy sing them to sleep, (which I don't do as often as I should, but still...) and I tell ya, Gav can sing, he's got great intonation, I have a feeling he's going to be an excellent little singer in years to come. Brod tells me that he's going to have a band w/his friends when he's a teenager, they are also all going to be super heros, and pro athletles, haha. guess I better get him prepared to take care of me when he's there :)

Ok, well everyone at my house is assleep now, so I'm going to go and play my guitar in the living room for a while, so I guess I'm off, to happily enjoy the newfound music in my life :)
