A few weeks ago Tucker and I took Theo on an adventure to the Omniplex!! We had a fine time, and here are some of the pictures!

The water stuff was pretty cool... we spent a lot of time building dams and letting the alligator be swept away when you took down the wall.

banging on the pipe to make tucker deaf.

periscope!

me and theo!

he thought the mirror maze was pretty hilarious

with the dog at the entrance!

yummy!

don't worry, he only had a teeny bit of this :)

we even watched the stars in the planetarium!

eating some chicken strips

where's theo?

there was a tractor... he showed us how to drive it :)

it was great fun (which I'm sure you have already gathered from looking at the pics!)

HI! life is crazy right now!! I'm in my very last semester of college, and learning what "happy stress" truly is :)

current projects:
-directing a scene from Waiting for Godot
-assistant directing the musical Steel Pier
-performing in the ensemble of Steel Pier (April 3-6)
-directing a portion of Anyone Can Whistle (April 28)
-my senior recital (April 13)
-dancing a whole lot
-building up an audition rep of monologues

so, basically everything I'm doing right now is SO much fun, yet time consuming. I'm really enjoying my last bit of school with some great friends. things with Tucker are still great, we got a new roomie named Kate that is really cool and fun, I've started working for dad 3 days a week and am trying to save most of the money so i can move eventually. OH and my best friend, Jessica, is getting married this summer :) I am her maid of honor, and am ridiculously happy and excited for her. so there ya go! update central! write down those dates.

HELLO mi familia! i think you guys are the only ones who probably still read this, and that is A-okay with me :) i think it's funny that i was the first one to start blogging, and now i hardly ever do it. oops!

life is great right now! i finished the show that i was assistant directing, classes are going really well, i'm still rehearsing for the other one, and i have a wonderful boyfriend. i'm sure you've all already heard about him because, let's be honest, you all stalk me. ;) i LOVE this weather, so i'm pretty sure that adds to the happy! yes, i have been fighting a sinus infection all week and probably whined waaay too much, but i'm feeling a lot better. still stuffy, but no more fever and head feeling like it's going to explode-ness. so, there ya go: the mini monthly update!

well, i guess i could give a little update since it was pointed out to me that i haven't blogged in a while!
lets see... school has started. I am pretty much on campus in class or putting in hours from 9-4:30, then i head to rehearsals. I am the assistant director for the musical this semester (The Fix), as well as performing in a straight play called Dog Sees God. pretty exciting! i'm keeping very busy, even though i'm only taking 14 hours this semester (much nicer than the usual 19 or so!)

lets talk about my classes! i'm taking ballet again, and advanced tap. both of those are excellent, and painful... i have new teachers for both, so it's nice. i also have Stagecraft (yes, i am now experienced in the area of power saws and scary things like that!), voice, recital attendance, contemporary moral problems (very interesting...), and directing. my directing class is great- i directed my first scene last week. success! so yeah, i think that's a pretty good second-to-last-semester schedule!

don't be fooled, i'm in a rehearsal right now... listening to the cast of The Fix work on some music. ah, life.

(*disclaimer: i just really liked this prayer. everything's okay!!)

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
