High time for a post

It's been quite a while and i apologize..

SO here's what's been going on:

Um so> no cast for "Brigton Beach Memoirs" because of too many conflicts with "Godspell." School started. Not too bad so far, though seeing my best friend every day really sucks. So I'm in my school production of "It's a Wonderful Life." I didn't try too hard for the lead, so I'm the understudy and a smaller role. Not too disappointed and hope to tech. SO then I get a call on Tuesday afternoon from the FAC offering me a role in "A Christmas Carol." And when I say offer I mean today after school I went to go pick up my contract and I'm getting paid and stuff!!! So yeah, I've been on cloud 693 for quite some time. "Godspell" is getting there I think. We have a 4 hour rehearsal tomorrow (it's about time) so hopefully that will help a lot.

Oh ok- so yet another blessing. Compassion International called me a few weeks ago, asking me to dance for them at their international IT summit next week. So I got to skip a bit of class and show them what I have this morning, and it's on Wednesday morning that I do that! HOW EXCITING!

Um.. yeah so performing is still my life and will be for quite some time. "Christmas Carol" runs from November 30- December 23 (longest run I've ever done), and rehearsals are pretty intense several times a week. "Wonderful Life" runs November 15-17 and "Godspell" is coming up October 5-7 and 12-14! So I'm pumped and feeling sooo blessed and definitely feeling pretty fulfilled when it comes to performances. Haven't heard from any churches about doing something for Christmas yet, so we'll see about that. Just another thing to do. :)

Oh, i broke up with my boyfriend of the summer on Sunday. Definitely one of the most awkward conversations I've ever had, but I needed to do it. My anxiety was horrible and I just know that it's for the best and not supposed to be and yeah. So that's how it is now. There is someone in my life, who has been for about 9 months now, but we're taking it slow. However, it's crazy to have someone in my that I could seriously potentially marry. Yeah- crazy. But I'm in NO hurry and not even looking because I'm so satisfied with my performing right now. :)

*Sigh* So I think that's all I have for now. Please let me know how you are and that you are still in the world. :)

Love, light, and peace~

*Life*

Not really sure...

Well this certainly has been an amazing summer... full of joy, love, excitement, letting go, just everything... So wonderful! AGH!!!

So I'm for sure in a production of Godspell for October.. Waiting to hear from the FAC about "Brighton Beach Memoirs".. Possibly in stupid drama class doing "It's a Wonderful Life.".. so we shall see. Not worried about no production work.

School starts on Tuesday. Not very excited.. or exciting. Oh well.

Miss my man.. he left for college early Tuesday morning.. said goodbye on Monday night.. over at his house.. and crazyness: I actually cried on the way home and and couldn't sleep that night. Guess my heart was more into than I thought. We'll see...

Home was very enjoyable- it was great to see (and meet) some of you. Just for the record.. I feel like I've officially let go.. it's been a long journey.. but I've done it. Thank you to all of you..~love

Think that's about it for now. Sorry this is pretty vague but I'm writing this in a rush while the p's are out.

OO! But I'm obsessed with this new movie that I haven't even seen yet- ONCE... go check out the trailor.. i have the soundtrack.. love it!!

Hope you're all doing well..

All my love,
~moi

*sigh*... summer....

The title really explains everything. Now that my show is done it feels like I hardly have a life. And I'm NOT looking foward to school starting! GR! But I leave for Home on Sunday- will be in GR for a week or so, then come home on the 7th- I guess this is the plan.

But this has definitely been one of the most fantastic summers of my life. Europe was sweet last year, but this is totally different. I starred in a show, I met some amazing people and became close to them. I met a great guy who I figured is just going to be a summer fling. But after some really good conversations last night until 2 AM, I think I may have been wrong. Don't think it will turn into love, but God might surprise me. Until last night it was much more physical than anything, but it might be different-we'll see. If you're at home and I get to see you, I'm sure you'll hear about him and some of our adventures. :) Sucks I won't see him until I get back because he left on vacation this morning.. funny.. I miss him already. This is different than anything I've ever had before-not sure how I feel about it still. We'll see what God does.

So yeah- I'm looking forward to seeing my city, my Home, and perhaps some of you. I'll probably be calling some of you at some point this week, seeing if I can arrange a time or so to see you.
Jen- May I call you?
Has Kevin fallen off the planet?
Faith- May I call you?
Alan- I need your number, but if I get a hold of Kevin I will ask him for it. Is that ok?
Jenny/Mommy G- Don't worry- I'm totally calling you too! :)

You people are really the only ones I 'need' to see. :) Can't really think of many more.

So yeah... Hope you're all doing well. I'm actually feeling surprisingly well overall, I guess. Saw 'Hairspray' with some of the cast last night, which was good for the soul, but then had to say goodbye... The movie is hilarious- I highly recommend it. :) Anyway, must be going. Let me know how you are. Hope to see you soon! :)

Brigadoon, Brigadoon... there my heart forever lies...

Well, the show is over.. best 5 weeks of my life probably. So empty now... more at a later time.

I'm really writing to tell you that I'm coming home in about 2 weeks! Don't really know my agenda yet, except that I fly in on the 29 and leave on the 10th of August. Some of my time will be spent in Michigan for my dad's eye surgery and a mission party. I think most of my time will be actually downtown in the city with my sister and brother-in-law who live there. But I will be in the Lansing area at some point- really want to see my house (it's been 3 years) and some people in that area (meaning Indiana as well).. So let me know how I can see some of you. I don't know if I'll get to Crossroads or if I'll have a car or not. I'll let you know as I do.

Hope you're all doing well.

Loving life!!

So Tuesday night after class (which ended around 10:30) i went to the movie "Transformers" with 2 guys from the show. I didn't get home till 2:30. It's really nice that my parents are out of town, so they don't know how late I got back. It was awsome, by the way!

So then the Fourth was fun. I had no class, and me and my good guy friend hung out and made Belgian waffles to eat and watched a movie. So that was fun. Then my brother and i hung out the rest of the day and went to this city about 30 minutes away and watched fireworks with some of his friends. Then we came home and watched a movie.

So then yesterday morning, I met with my director and the guy who plays my love interest in "Brigadoon" and we worked some scenes and physicality stuff. It was great. From there, we went to class at 12. Then last night after class (I should really call it rehearsal, because that's all we do now) (keep in mind this is about 10:30 again, we went to ice cream again, then to this big park downtown. We played hide-and-go-seek-tag.. in the dark.. way past park hours. It was awsome!! Seriously one of the funnest nights of my life. I loved it! So i didn't get home till about 12:25 last night. My brother is so gracious. I should be in trouble.. oh well. Hee hee hee...

So yeah, my parents come home today and we have some people visiting tonight. Then I have rehearsal from 1-10 tomorrow. Sunday off, then we're into what we call 'hell week' of dress rehearsals and performances. So I'm just loving pretty much every minute of my life right now.

Hope you all are doing well!

~love,
me
