Dancing in the Rain

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about getting out there and Dancing in the Rain

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.

Hey there! Long time no see. So I've been away for a very long while and have decided to try the blog scene again haha. Here is my life up to date:

  • I was cast in Wiley and the Hairy Man. This was an amazing TYA production that I was able to be a part of and I got to work with ever so talented John Graham. I also got to learn to work on stilts which was also amazing (and scary)

  • I got a new job !! I'm no longer a Jamba Juicer. I am now working at LifeVantage Corporation. I'm a customer service agent. (basically I sit at my desk on Facebook, Hulu, while I Crochet, make my journals, and jewelry) I love my Job and I work with three of My Best friends Heather, Ashley and my Roomie Tasha!

  • I got a new apartment! I live right across from campus at these fantastic apts called Winterhaven. I LOVE my roomates ! I live in the same room as Tasha and we are best friends :)

  • For the past couple months I've been working on Oklahoma! at UVU. It has been an amazing experience to get to work with Dave Tinney. He is a fun professor and a Brilliant Director/ Choreographer. Our production runs from the 20- 29th of January.
  • And I get to now. I have just been cast in The Black Box Company directed by Dave Tinney. We are doing a Childrens touring show called AVillage Fable. We will be taking this show around Jr High schools and Middle schools. This show tries to deal with suicide in a way that doesn't necessarily scream at you.

Now for the future, right now I am planning and preparing for a trip to Europe this summer. I'll be going with our Theater Dept. Headed up By the wonderful Chris Clark. I will be going to England, Scotland, and France performing at the Festival d'Avignon and the Edinburough International Festival .

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about getting out there and Dancing in the Rain.

So. It looks like I have decided to start a blog. I'm not exactly sure why I have decided to do it yet, but I will eventually figure it out, hopefully.

Here we go. I have been inspired to write this specific blog entry by this quote: " Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about getting out there and Dancing in the Rain." It amazes me to look back at my life and see the storms that have come and gone, but to then realize that at the time I didn't realize that they were there at all. I came to the conclusion I was either one of two things: blissfully ignorant of the weather, or I had found that the joy of dancing in the rain exceeds the fear of the storm itself . Either way though, I need to figure it out again, because I am now finally at a point in my life where the pain of waiting is more painful than than the risk of going out and dancing. Thus comes my self resolution. From here on out I will take those risks, open myself up to happiness, joy, love, regret, pain, and most inportant Growth. I am ready to take the thunder and the lightening just so I can fully find the beauty and joy of the rainbow.

Well, if that made any sense to you. . . I'm glad. It is probably the most philisophical moment I will have for a while so no worries it won't be like this all the time, in fact it probably won't be like this ever again. And thus ends my first official blog entry. TTFN
