All You Need is Love, Family, Theatre and Pink.

With some time to spare I decided it was time to update this once again!!

All my teaching theatre is officially DONE for the summer. It seems like it went by so fast, yet it feels like it took forever to finish. How does that work?

Now the main thing on my plate is working for Sunfest Summer Camp. We've been planning for a month and now (finally!) this Monday the camp starts. I'm excited, but also a little nervous. I guess I'm still unsure about a few things. Hopefully it all goes well and is a chill summer!

I have 3 major events to look forward to:

1. My friend Iain has asked me to perform at his mom's friends wedding. You know the scene from Love Actually when Kiera Knightly and her hubby are in the church and then suddenly "All you Need is Love" is sung by a choir and trumpets/flutes/trombones appear in the pews? That is what we're doing. It's going to be awesome! The bride is surprising the groom with it. And apparently it's like one of his favourite movies. It's this upcoming Saturday and I'm a little sick so hopefully my voice is fully healed by then.

2. As I mentioned before, my mom and dad's "50's" party. My grandma brought over the poodle skirt she made me yesterday and it just got me THAT much more excited. But now I realize I need to get my stuff together. I got a few people to perform (because my dad REALLY wanted me to)......so now I have to decide on one more song to sing and send out a rehearsal schedule. Yikes!

3. I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my last blog, but I'm going to see PINK in L.A. with some friends!! It happened SO randomly.....it came up in conversation and in less than 30 minutes we decided we were going, bought the tickets, and somewhat planned a road trip. Huh. I'm becoming quite spontanious.



In other news, I FINALLY GET TO PERFORM AGAIN!! I got into Joseph & the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, which will be playing in November. More info to come :P


I think that's it........FOR NOW!!

My life - in list form.

Wow.  It has almost been a WHOLE MONTH since I have updated you all.  I apologize!!

Okay....let me think back to what I need to tell you!

Ok.  I will let you know stuff going on in my life in list form.

1.  Theatre Stuff:

Well, Bugsy Malone (the other show I directed/choreographed) ended this past week.  It seems like it just flew by!!  I'm super proud of the kids (because as some of you know I was REALLY stressed about the show)....but we managed to pull it off and make it GREAT!! So that's good.

I have one more show that I helped with - my little kids (Mini Stars) doing The Wizard of Oz!!

I have an audition tomorrow night for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.  I feel SO unprepared but I don't feel nervous or anything about it!!  Which is weird.  I'm thinking my nerves will come tomorrow.  

I think that's about it with that.

2.  I started my Summer Job on Monday (with Sunfest Day Camps).  It rocks!!  I am having a lot of fun planning everything for the camp.  I can't wait to be with the kids.

3.  I PASSED my first aid (woo!)

4.  My mom and dad are both turning 50 this year and have planned this huge party....with a 50's theme..... poodle skirts and all!!  It's exciting but a lot of work to plan.  Oh well!! Something else to do I suppose!!

5.  Don't you hate it when you start a book, but then you just get so busy you have no time to read it?  Me too.  I say this because now I have time at nights to read my John Lennon Biography which I believe I've had since Christmas.  Yikes.

I think that's all for now....


OH NO!! WAIT WAIT!!  I forgot!!


I went to Disneyland 2 weeks ago.....for 4 days.  It was so spontaneous and SO MUCH FUN!!  I went with Jared and Linnea and Trevor.  Here is a pic from our fun-ness:
