Hey All!
Well, the end of February and the beginning of March was crazy, stressful, and down right horrid at moments. As mentioned in my last post my grandmother had a stroke. My family recently found out that my mother needs a full hystorectomy. They did find masses, but couldn't do a biopsy. So, we will have to wait until the surgery-April 14th-to find out.
Saying that, it's the small blessings that make it a bit more bearable: working on a new show, going to auditions, getting a callback, being able to talk with family/friends, and being able to spend time with some great people to recharge. Some good has come out of of being home as well. For example: it is my pleasure to announce I've been cast!! This summer, I will be playing Lady Capulet in "Romeo & Juliet" and Helena in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."It has happened, I'm officially a paid actor. As many of you know, I work as a technician in theatre but my true passion is acting. I'm still doing tech work but now I get to do what I love. I feel very best and excited to be a part of this new experience.
I have moved back to the southwest, for a while but we shall see where my life takes me.

Welcome to 2014!!!!
January has come and gone and now we are in the shortest month of the year. Saying that, January was an exciting and slightly crazy month for me.
After, A Christmas Carol, ended I spent the next couple of days hanging out with my mother's family on the east coast and celebrating Christmas. I believe that I have mentioned in older posts that Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays.
I won't go into details but Christmas is a big deal in my family. It was weird to not be home for Christmas, as this was my first one away.

After a few days, I drove out with my partner to Ann Arbor, Michigan. I checked out the university and the town, while the weather permitted...Yes, I was there when the Arctic Blast hit Michigan and the Midwest. I'm not going lie and say it wasn't horrible. It was a pretty terrible. It snowed almost everyday and it was bitter cold.
I was supposed to leave Michigan on the 7th of January but due to weather and bad road conditions I was forced to stay until the 9th. On the 9th, I drove from Ann Arbor to St. Louis where I stayed with family friends. On the 10th, I visited college friend in St. Louis and then drove to Kansas, where two of my sisters live. It was great to see them. On the 11th, I drove to Oklahoma and stayed with family friends. Then, on the 12th I arrived back here in the southwest! During my road trip, I dodged storms and am now happy to be in a warmer climate.

This last week has been rather exhausting as my grandmother had a stroke and I spent everyday with her in the hospital. Saying that, she is doing really well and is now in a rehab center. She had minimum damage--weakness in right arm and leg.
