Greetings from the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts! Brenda and I flew to New York yesterday so she could have a few voice lessons before we head back to Germany, and now I'm hanging out in the library while she sings at Juilliard. We're excited to get back to our apartment in Frankfurt so we can enjoy a little time at home, but when I say a little time, I mean it. The day after we arrive we'll be heading to Munich for Brenda's next gig. Speaking of which, one of those performances will be live-streamed over the internet for free on October 23rd. For more information check out the Bavarian State Opera's website.
Our past couple of weeks in Wisconsin were great. Brenda's performances in Milwaukee and Madison went really well, and we got to spend a lot of time with family and friends, many of whom we don't get to see very often.
As I mentioned last week, Brenda had well over a hundred people come to see her perform in Milwaukee. Pictured above are several of Brenda's relatives from Illinois.
Many of my friends and family also made the trip including my cousins Derek and Jessica and several of my parents' close friends from college.
Here Brenda is posing with two of her very proud teachers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

While in Madison Brenda also gave her first college-level masterclass.
She posed for a picture with the students after the masterclass.
Did I mention they're performers?

While Brenda was rehearsing on Saturday, I drove down to Iowa for my cousin Laura's wedding. I'm really glad that the timing worked out for me to be there. It was a beautiful event, and I enjoyed seeing so many of my extended relatives.
So that's what we've been up to. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
