Does anyone still wear a hat?

Hey kids! I stink at keeping this updated...school is eating my life. It's hard for me to find the time to sit here and type up all the devos I feel pulling at me to write. Once the semester starts to wind down I will be able to do this more.
I wanted to post this (thanks Stu!) because it brought back so many memories of when I did musical theatre. It also made me aware of how cool it is to be an opera chick! I love performing so much!
