JustynLove: Friendship with the Kissing Booths

 Lia "my girl" Marsh, now Lia "still my girl" Booth
One of my best friends married a very funny, smart, creative and talented young man. She herself, amazingly talented, was as beautiful as ever as I watched from afar. To be completely honest, I walked in late... I know, :/ but I came from work and there was traffic. (Especially heading East to Riverside at around 3pm) Excuses aside, I missed the bridal march, but I made it just in time for the part where they combine the two sands into one as the live band and guest singer performed "My Funny Valentine." I didn't miss the vows though! I was so glad I made it for the vows. Cameron and Lia promised personal vows and you could see how much they loved each other as they smiled brightly the entire time.

The wedding was held at a house in Riverside. I had heard prior to the wedding that they had invited over 200+ people to the big event. I didn't believe it at first, but then I got there and I was convinced. The backyard was huge. It could fit probably two full sized swimming pools. It was pretty deceiving though, you wouldn't be able to tell from the front. After the ceremony, I found my friends quickly as we waited for the reception tables to be set. And as soon as I saw them, they didn't hesitate to point out my lack of punctuality. They had saved a seat for me, so it was pretty obvious that I was late. There was a large group of us, almost 20 out of the 200, that commandeered two adjacent tables from Mt. Sac. This included  my choir director Bruce Rogers and his wife as well as our accompanist Pro and his. We were all happy to sit and enjoy the evening together and celebrate our friends. We shared jokes and laughs with witty remarks and I finally got to meet baby Nathaniel! I love this baby. Overall, it was a great night spent with my Mt. Sac family. Congrats Mr. And Mrs. Booth! =D

JustynAdventure: New York Afternoon

Image
If I could sum up the last couple days in one word, it would have to be... Exhausting. But it was good kind of exhausting, a great kind actually. My voice is tired, my muscles fatigued, my feet hurt, but I would do this gig again in a heartbeat. I've been to a lot of different places, and I've got to say that  New York is one of my favorite places to be. It's so different from California. The scenes are different, the smells are different, it has a completely different vibe, and in the words of one of my favorite people, it has a different kind of intensity. (Thanks BFD!) That's probably why I'm tired. I'm totally not used to it. I love California, don't get me wrong, my personality definitely reflects the lax persona of Cali, but there's something enticing about that East Coast intensity that I want to hold on to. This past weekend I had the opportunity to perform with my vocal jazz group Singcopation at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem NY. We w...

JustynAdventure: #MtSacJourneysToGermany

Image
Alright, Here we go! (I'm going to recap everything in this one blog post! I missed a lot of days waiting for wifi in Europe, so I'm not going to wait now. More pictures to come!) It's been an insanely exhausting, stress-filled, draining, exciting, amazingly sweet and impactful, two weeks in Europe. There are so many words that come to mind when I think of what I expereinced over there that I'm finding it hard to pick just one perfect word. I don't think there is one. So much has happened in such a short amount of time that it's left me mentally and emotionally overwhelmed. I loved every minute of this journey and it's kind of frustrating right now because I'm going to try my best to share it with you all, but I know my words won't do it justice. It's a "You had to be there" kind of thing, but I'll try my best.  We visited the two beautiful countries of Poland and Germany. We started in Warsaw where we connected with the music ...

JustynAdventure: On to Poiniatowa

Image
Yesterday, we arrived in Poiniatowa. We rode our bus through the countryside passing quaint little farm houses and so much green! It's beautiful out here. There are so many trees and fields of freshly planted wheat and the air is so clean.  It had taken us over 2 hours to get to Poiniatowa, and when we did, we were all assigned to different families and they took us into their homes and fed us. They were members of the community choir, and since we will be performing with them in a giant concert they were happy to take us in.  Me and my friend Molly were assigned to Joanna Walencik, who is a member of the choir and her 18-year old daughter Wicktoria. (Who btw, is beautiful and creates beautiful art. She did her own henna and hand-painted a tote bag for me and Molly. She's cool.) Joanna speaks mostly in Polish but can understand English for the most part. Wicktoria on the other hand speaks English very well. They took us into their home and Joanna prepared a delicious meal for ...
