Saturday night, I enjoyed an evening with friends as the cast, crew, and loved ones of   You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown got together to have a fabulous night! (so I have this new camera… and  I really like taking pictures…) I’ll write word things tomorrow.  Today I’m grateful for pictures.  Tomorrow I’ll beContinue reading “Cast Party”

   

I’m heading up to a cabin in a few minutes for a cast party. I’m enjoying a rare moment of rest before I get in the car and drive. I am currently rehearsing as an actor in one show with Dark Horse Company Theatre and I’m working with Midvale Main Street Theatre as a musicalContinue reading “Utah’s Theatre Community”

Yesterday, I went to the Brigham City Temple for the first time. I am not sure why I never went through the open houses. I think I just figured I’d eventually make it up for a session anyway, and it’s not like it was gonna float away or anything. It’s absolutely stunning. I was justContinue reading “Creating A World”

There’s a homeless man who has a small storage unit here. A few weeks ago, he came in looking pretty flushed and ragged. I honestly don’t remember much of our conversations. I just sit at my desk and people come in and talk to me. We just shoot the breeze. He came in yesterday andContinue reading “Free Stuff”

I couldn’t have looked worse if I tried. Hair pulled up in two banana clips. A trace of mascara stuck under my eyes, and no other make up. Baggy brown shorts, but a very cute top! It wasn’t that I was going for a particular bad look–I just didn’t have time to be interested inContinue reading “Smiles in the City”

This is where I get to go to church right now.  We still fill every pew in the tabernacle, and on the balcony.  Last week, the bishop asked people to sit in the choir seats before they opened the back curtain. We sang in the choir last week, so I got to enjoy the choirContinue reading “My Red Throne of Judgment”

Today is Sunday and it’s St. Patrick’s Day. I’m thinking about my family. Particularly about my baby brother Nick. He’s a one of a kind sort of person. He went to BYU when he was just 17. He’s now 20 and in the 3 1/2 years since he started college, he won first prize atContinue reading “Building Mountains”

Imagine a place filled with beautiful green plants, sparkling lights, white orchids, and happy confident single adults smiling, laughing and enjoying themselves. Tonight was magical. I did my best to organize things ahead of time to avoid stress, but of course there were complications. My dear friend Larissa’s fabulous lover man Rob Ferre came withContinue reading “A Beautiful Event”

I missed two days of blogging. I’m sorry. I will make up for it! This whole experiment of grateful blogging every day has been an interesting journey. My life is so much better today than it was. And I don’t think I did much to change it. As I wander through the minefield of sharingContinue reading “Spoiled”
