Last night I went back to the old apartment to clean. I went alone. I could feel this weight of stress and sadness press on me as I prepared to leave the place I had called home from May 2011 to August 2013. That’s a long time for me to live in one place. It’sContinue reading “Saying Goodbye Is Important”

I woke up at 9:55am yesterday. I knew it would be a long day and I wanted to get as much rest as I could. I had stopped packing at about 2 am–so it was a good 8 hours. I felt ready to go. At 11am-Joe showed up ready to go. We walked over aContinue reading “Many Hands (The one where I use the word "Then" a lot)”

Yesterday, I couldn’t wait to leave work to go and paint my new apartment. I counted the hours. But then when it came time, I was so scared. I stood there in front of the wall. I turned on my music and let it play on random. Every song that came on gave me theContinue reading “Change”

I grew up doing community theatre. Then I went and got edumicated in it and began to get all perfessional… (excuse my inability to talk seriously about my qualifications…) To me, community theatre is all about the joy of theatre. In Utah–community theatre doesn’t always translate as amateur. And professional theatre doesn’t always translate intoContinue reading “Carousel and Theatre in Utah”

I can’t review for Midvale Main Street Theatre. I work there too much to give any sort of unbiased opinion. And I notice things that are right and wrong about productions that other people won’t really notice. So this is not a review. When it comes to their latest production–Legally Blonde: The Musical — thisContinue reading “Legally Blonde: The Musical”

Yesterday, I was carrying my laundry on my back from the laundry hut across the road to my apartment with this beautiful pink bag. As I walked in my beautiful dress with my beautiful cotton flowery shoes over the little wooden bridge, I felt like a dog. Not ugly like a dog. But rather likeContinue reading “35 and Feeling Fine.”

Today we sang “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” in church. The words, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love… Here’s my heart, O, take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above.” The speakers were a husband and wife who have served together in the churchContinue reading “Tomorrow”

Today is a funny assortment of little miracles that lead me to one big miracle. To explain why today was a miracle might lessen it. But today was one of those days that reminds me why I am who I am. Unexplainable phenomena. Stories from one part of my life colliding with another part ofContinue reading “Miracles”

This morning on X96, they had an X poll about what annoys you most about your spouse. One guy complained that his wife leaves a pile of dirt in the corner of the kitchen after she sweeps. She only sweeps it into the garbage every couple of days. The host asked if he had toldContinue reading “A Long Post About Being a Woman”

Today I got to see baby Evangeline Lily blessed by her daddy. Such a beautiful blessing. She’s a lucky little lady. Such good parents. Today I’m grateful for beautiful Utah skies, healthy babies, the country, and time on a Sunday to visit loved ones.
