GREAT news... AND some not-so happy news.

I found out on Monday that I didn't get accepted to the music school.

I don't know how I feel... one moment I'm fine and the next I want to cry again, thinking "I wasn't good enough... I wasn't good enough..." Like I've had so many people tell me, though - first Grace, then mom and Brad and Judy - 'Not making it' does NOT make you any less of a musician. I prayed all through the process that if that wasn't where God wanted me to spend my time, that He would close the door... and He did. Anna and Cree both said, "God's got bigger plans for you, Erin - WAY bigger." And I believe them. (It's just hard to give up something that's been such a huge part of my identity... all my life.) So, I guess that's the good news about the bad news.

Spring break was good Uneventful, besides Mom being suddenly bedridden, but very good. I got to spend a lot of time 'restinig', hanging with Kelsey & Cree, and hanging out with people that "raised me" (Barb, Woody, Mark Marcuson, Brad & Judy, Bruce... and of course, Mom and Dad). Good stuff.
