Sorry it's been so long. I have been so busy. The show is now over and I can let out a big sigh...*sigh*.
Beauty & The Beast was wonderful! As always I took away so much from that experience. I learned how to dance as a spoon so that's a great life skill to have :). But really I mean every show I do I hope that I become a better actress. I learn so much from the people around me. It is so great to learn something from someone who is older and/or more experienced than me and then it is great to learn from people who are younger and/or less experienced. Everyone has something to give to you. It's wonderful. I have some fantastic memories from the show as well. Or rather the people involved in the show. We had so much fun together and I enjoyed all of our outings. I am so grateful to have been involved in such a truly amazing group of people, now matter what happened between everyone. I am also pretty excited about the productions I will be going to see at various high schools this year! It will keep me busy along with work and school.
Ah - school. Yes, the time has come for my college journey to begin. I don't know if I am ready but I am more ready now than I will ever be. I am actually pretty excited about it too. So I'm going to give it a try and see how it works out. My main focus is acting so I''m going strictly to become a more educated person - not because my goal is to earn a degree. It is not - that is just an added bonus I suppose. I am really excited about psychology though. The more I think about it and acting the more I realize how great they will go together. Once I understand different types of people and illnesses and how the mind works I feel like I will really be able to immerse myself in a character and get to know them so much more. I am looking forward to that.
On to acting...it's been quite a ride these past 5 or 6 months. What with The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Beauty & The Beast. Each show having a tremendous cast and crew and memories that I will always remember. I thank God just about every night that I got those opportunities. I thank God that a wonderful man named Brian Jones took a risk casting someone he knew absolutely nothing about to be a lead role. I know that without that opportunity I would not be anywhere close to where I am today. Which is a great place. I am feeling so great about my future. About Landyn's future. I think he believe me more than anyone else when I tell him how great it's going to be. I just feel it. He lights up when I tell him about my dreams. He's a bright boy.
Landyn - he just got his cast off on Monday and I think it's safe to say he's a pretty happy camper. He will be starting preschool this year. I am so excited for him. I think he is really going to love it. And I am looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing all his crafts he brings home! I am a little nervous about his orientation. Sitting in a room filled with moms who are older that me. Hoping that they are viewing me as an equal and not as a young mother. That is just where I have to trust people though, and believe myself that i am more than just a young mother. He really amazes me though. He's so funny and smart. He's really something else. I love him so much.
Well I'll end on that note. It is a pretty happy note so why not.
oh one little thing - I am almost done with Breaking Dawn :) :) :) ahhhhh! That's all.
Also - I spell checked this time Mom. Is everything alright? ;)

Thanks, Alex! By the time we got through the audition for "Lion," I knew enough about you: that you were courageous and talented, yet kind and patient. Remember? I wanted to see another Alex and said, "Alex." You JUMPED up and said "Yep!" I said, "Sorry, wrong Alex." I watched you sit back down. You did so with no trace of resentment or attitude and only maybe slight embarrassment which you greeted with a smile. I decided to keep you waiting awhile to see what you would do. You stayed professional and courteous throughout. So while I didn't know anything about you at the start, I knew a lot about you at the end of the audition! You are still showing those traits today and I am so proud of you, and so glad that "my discovery" is doing so well in theater, in life, in Mommyhood.
(Landyn's a doll, by the way. We enjoyed our time with him!)
