2010

It's that time again. Time to see the close of another year and dream about the next. This year has been amazing. Who would have thought that a year that started out at Hooters would have turned out so nice. So the big highlights of 2010?

*Hooters....
*Josh's and My's first home together
*Crazy For You, enough said
*So much dance
*An amazing 22nd Birthday
* ENGLAND
*Getting engaged :)
*Spelling Bee
*Knitting, knitting and then some more knitting

This year was filled with more love and friendships then I could have ever asked for. And now as I approach the final semester of college and the closing of a big chapter in my life. Now I get ready for the real world. For auditioning. For planning a wedding for living a my life to the fullest.

Home again

It's good to be home :)

I sit and realize that this is my last Christmas of college. The last Christmas break. It is both a happy and sad thing to realize. This break home is longer than last year, not like that is hard though. But it is still short, only a week. Today was the day to relax and knit. Tomorrow my dad and I are going Christmas shopping. Wednesday I am going to David's bridal with Leah and maybe Shannon. Thursday I am going into work with my mom and Friday Josh will be here to go to Christmas eve service with us. Then Saturday it is back to Columbus to spend the day with Josh's family.

I think I have an Internship for next semester which is a relief because otherwise I would not be able to graduate in may. For now I will keep fingers crossed and enjoy my time at home.

Last Fall Semester

Today I finished my last fall semester at CSU!

These last few weeks have been nothing short of crazy. First of all there was my Senior Acting Recital. It went better than I thought it ever could. Kate and Larry gave us high accolades after our final dress and that just put us all on a high. Different pieces felt stronger on different nights but over all I was just really proud of the work that we had all done on the show. Of course we all bawled the last night, it was a very bitter sweet ending.

There wasn't much time to ride the endorphins high however because it was now crunch time for finals. My final scene for directing also had to go up the day of my final dress for my acting recital. I had great actors and the best blocking I had, had for a scene yet. In the end I got an A on my analysis and scene and am very happy and proud about that. After a theatre history paper being written it was time to study study study. From the grades that have been posted it has been worth it. I got a C in Philosophy. Considering I thought I was going to get a D I was very happy. My theatre history final was this morning and I feel great about it :)

This time of the year also calls for hard goodbyes and Christmas parties. I had to say goodbye to one of my first friends here at CSU, it's going to be very strange to not have Liz around anymore but I'm so glad that she is getting out there and perusing her dreams. A few of my other friends also graduated this semester, it is going to be so weird for so many people I came in with to be going in January. I feel like almost every night for the past week I've been to one Christmas party or another. It has been a great way to unwind. Last night was a Wine and Cheese party with a bunch of Josh's English friends. It was so much fun to just sit around and talk to a bunch of new people and to get to know Josh's friends.

On Saturday my mom and Tori are coming to Columbus to see Oz and take me home on Sunday morning. I'm excited about coming home for a week and getting to see my old friends and possibly even start looking at wedding dresses. :)
