What's News?

Well... I guess when you don't blog for a couple months or more you have to catch up on what is going on, especially when you use this as your journal/scrapbook.

I spent Spring Break in Alabama with Dale and his family. Mom and Dad came this time, so that was fun. I will have a separate post about that with lots of photos. I have then spent time settling into my new house, which I love. I will get some photos of that as well and post them. I had a birthday, so I need to get a new list for the new year going as well...yet another post. I saw Young Frankenstein at Capital Theater in SLC, Wicked in Boise, and Les Miserables at Capital in SLC. I don't really have pictures from those to post, so I can just say that I didn't love Young Frankenstein (it was part of the Season Ticket package this year) but it was okay. Wicked is my new favorite (it's coming to SLC next year, and yes, I'll be going at least once). Les Miserables was amazing as always...but I prefer the older version that is less rushed than this new one. I can't complain though, I simply love musical theater. I dream of working in the industry...but that's less likely to happen than my former dream of living in an Airstream trailer or my ever increasing dream of becoming a motivational speaker.

Speaking of musical aspirations... my voice is finally starting to heal! I don't sound like a smoker anymore! Getting off of corticosteroids for asthma has made a big difference. Yay for being able to breathe AND speak/sing again!

In other big news... I did not sign my return contract in Idaho for next year so I'm jobless. A lot of the districts in Northern Utah have not hired yet, but my contract needed to be signed in Idaho. A lot of people told me to just sign it and then break it if I got another job, but I didn't feel comfortable doing that. It seems like a breach of integrity to me. So...I took a huge leap of faith and turned in my letter of resignation. I still do not have a job in Utah, but I'm hoping that will change soon. I'm doing all that I can and have prayed to know if I'm making a huge mistake and felt okay about my decisions...so...here I am!

Alrighty...well that seems sufficient for today. I'm getting real internet (as opposed to the 3g I have had) at my house on Wednesday, so I can catch up on some of those other posts in the next few days. :) Check back soon!
