Highlights of 2012

So, as I sit here on the last night of 2012 before the New Years Eve festivities- I am in a reflective mood, 2012 was an interesting year. A lot changed- but at the same time- a lot remained the same.

January-

I started out 2012 by turning the ripe old age of 33 and buying my very own place. I also directed a hilarious play, "See How They Run", which was by far the easiest cast and most fun I have had directing.

February-

I moved into my place.

March-

I hosted the Region Drama competition.

April-

I took 100 students to Disneyland! My students also placed 3rd at the State Drama competition and won best play along with 10 other awards at the District Drama awards.

             May-

Welcomed my newest nephew, Oliver.

June-

Starred as one of the Narrators in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" for Murray City.

July-

Spent 2 1/2 weeks in Florida to help Ben & Luana get ready to move and spend some time in one of my favorite places in the world with some of my favorite people.

August-

Went to Disneyland three days after getting home from Florida. 

September-

Started my 7th year as a teacher. (Where does the time go?)

October-

Spent the majority of my time in rehearsals for the Sound of Music.

November-

Directed the amazing musical, "The Sound of Music."

December-

Became a dog owner with my new shih tzus- Cosette and Eponine.

A lot of things I wanted to accomplish- I didn't do. Mostly health related. But, overall, it was a great year- full of growth and introspection.

So, 2013?
What will you hold? I've been thinking about change lately. It's so easy to project feelings onto others and try to fix them and just wish THEY would change. When, in fact, the only person you can change in yourself.

Me in 2013?
Well... I want to be better. Better at taking care of myself, better at taking care of others... just better. So in a year from now I can look back and see how far I've come. And how I'VE changed.

It's time...
