Remember to Sleep and Eat...

[At Right]: I am trying to combine my two shows in this picture- This is DMT costume and production week and I am holding the fake blood that we use in DMT, but it could work for Dracula too... ;)

I am remembering to sleep and eat, as busy as I am ;) But here we are- it's October!! Dracula is going up in 8 days! We're almost there... I got my fangs yesterday, so I'm pretty much set as far as that goes :) DMT went well last week- we had fun and great responses from the audiences. And it's only the beginning! I am also getting back into my old role in the technical theatre department as a lighting technition so that's keeping me busy too. I've gotta run and keep being productive, but there's a little update for ya!

[At Right]: In my spare time I learned how to make a turtle out of a balloon (although he's not pictured here) and Kory's specialty is poodles... :)

Back to Life off the Ranch

Yes, yes I am back at school- above you will see that life is pretty much back to normal :) Those are my DMT girls- minus Alicia and KT- at our first girl's night.

Basically I had an amazing and busy summer at Lost Valley and now I am jumping right back into an amazing, but busy semester. I am currently in 2 plays and just auditioned for 2 more for next semester. I am also working as a tech intern at the theatre and going to school...and sleeping and learning how to cook for myself and my beautiful roommate. We are having a blast in our little apartment- even though we spend most of our time in the Theatre.

I am really looking forward to what else God has in store for me this year- even just what He has planned for my day tomorrow and next week! His faithfulness and grace that are both new every morning have been so evident to me this summer and in every new day as the sun comes up and shines so brightly. 1 Peter 3:3-4 was a key verse from one of my Bible studies this summer and I am still striving to find that "gentle spirit" and to love others as Christ loves me.

I hope to be able to keep this updated better and keep up with emails to anyone interested in my little life out here :) God Bless!

To Be or not to be...

Yes, it's a bit cliche, but now you know I'm talking about Hamlet. I just finished the run of "Joseph" - which was absolutely fun and exhausting! :)

So, now I am rehearsing for "The 15-Minute Hamlet" Which is a comedic version of all of Shakespeare's Hamlet in 15 minutes. I am Ophelia and it's just a light-hearted, fun show that I'll be performing starting on Wednesday, April 19 and it will only run for that week.

Now I'm going to take a nap to rest up before my last month as a college freshman!

Oh Home...

Two of just a few of the best things about being home: the mountains and my sister :)

He Makes Every Day New

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Psalm 23

Sunny SoCal

I do love the beach! :) So, yes, I'm back here- hanging out with friends on the beach (that's Tommy and I to the right) Doing some school stuff... and rehearsing for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Life goes right along and all I can say is God is still amazing! "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

The Chronicles of Narnia

I went to the midnight premier of Narnia last night and it was incredible! If you are even considering going to this movie, GO! :) It is beautifully and artistically done- music, costumes, scenery, story, acting, everything!
