JUNE!

So i'm about to turn 25, and it's a little scary to say the least.

It's summer in Juneau and that means lots of sunshine and LONG days. I have to remind myself that 4 hours of sleep on a weekday is not enough, and to make sure to get more rest. It's so difficult as it can stay light out until 11pm...and there's lots to do!

So far June has been great, the folks came to visit which gave me the refresh of love and family I needed for the season, and we had a great memorial day weekend! The band played bluegrass at the Alaskan bar, we took a whale watching musical private cruise down the Lynn canal with the Chisholms and the band family and watched baby humpaback whales breaching with Coronas in our hands and smiles on our faces. My mom and dad helped me put some nice touches on my apartment, which looks better than ever!

This week has been extremely busy! There was a visiting cermaics artist from Colorado, so plenty of reason to celebrate out at Jr and Alli's home on Auke Bay. Kate Hamre and Aoife O'Donovan, two musicians were in town teaching the Bluegrass Camp for Kids. I hadn't seen Kate since October, and it was great to play music with her and catch up on life! Aoife is a musician from Brooklyn in the band Crooked Still, and I have never met such a warm, down to earth, talented gal! She even did a solo show at the Alaskan for us!

This weekend should be more fun, musicians from Elfin Cove, Anchorage, and here in Juneau are playing, and I plan on dancing through to my birthday on Sunday!

Hope everyone's doing well! I will post some pictures soon ;)

love,
Amanda
