England

A few short weeks ago I was mourning the end of my potential flute performance career.

Okay, that's a bit dramatic, but feelings are real!!

I honestly felt as though my lack of acceptance into performance programs in the US meant that I would at the ripe age of mid-20 be moving back into my (wonderful) parents' house to teach as many little band nerds as I could cram into my schedule....all to try to make money so I could find somewhere to move and something to do?

Do I follow the boyfriend to DC?
Do I stay in Waco to take lessons with FA and to teach my students?
Do I move to Houston (parentals location) and start a flute studio?
Do I up and move to NYC with a girlfriend to try my hand at being a starving musician?

Yeah, it sounds a whole lot of "what am I doing with my life?!?"

This is not a photo I have taken, but a daydreaming "googled" photo of Sussex...

Although I plan to take many photos like this in the near future!!

And then out of nowhere, England happened. 

I was convinced to apply for a prestigious program in England to study with the legendary Trevor Wye. Much to my (extremely pleasant) surprise, I was accepted! 

And in a huge whirlwind, I have decided to accept and move to England in the fall!!

Isn't the Lord funny? 

"Hey God, I don't know WHAT you have planned for me but we better figure it out fast cause I'm starting to get anxious!!"

"Ok silly girl, why don't you just move to England."

....What?!

So that's what I'm doing! 

These are just a few of the things I been daydreaming about.

I know for a fact that living in England will not be all tourism and fun photo ops.....
BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED!

So until then-
