Christian has been out and about quite a bit lately. He has had several opportunities to have pieces played at various cities recently. His first trip was to Fargo, North Dakota. Haven't you always wanted to go there? C honestly fell in love with the cute town and sense of community that sometimes lacks in the big city.
He also got to visit with his cousins Matt in Minneapolis (not pictured) and Ryan in Fargo (pictured below).
Christian was very pleased the premiere of his piece, Flux Flummoxed, which he was commissioned to write by the Barlow Endowment at BYU. Ben and Jihye were wonderful hosts and performers; Christian had such a wonderful time on his trip.
Christian's next stop, his home town of Show Low Arizona. This was a fun trip for him to get to be a guest lecturer at the local community college and high school. He also got one of his pieces played by the local White Mountain Symphony Orchestra; unfortunately they were not able to pull it off as well as C would have hoped. At least they gave it a shot.
Christian loved getting a little one on one time with his mom and dad. It was weird for him to be in his parents house as the only child. Luckily Bethany's shrine was still there so he didn't feel too lonely.
He even got to spend Mother's Day with his brother's David and Jeremy.
Which meant he got to see his adorable niece Oliva and cousin's son, Dylan.
As well as our newest niece, Emery.
Christian has had a blast traveling around and being able to visit with friends and family. We are always glad to have him home, it makes life so much easier and enjoyable.
