LEGALLY BLONDE!!!!

"See Dreams Really Do Come True, You Never Have to Compromise!" - Legally Blonde

Yes, nothing bad happened! I was able to go to Legally Blonde!!!!! And we all wore pink and bought T-shirts. It was so much fun! I am pretty sure no one has ever been as excited as we were to see the show! It was fantastic! We LOVED it!!! When the show ended, we were all like, "Now What?" We all waited to see the show for almost a year and now what is there to look forward to? haha

Legally Blonde Nightmares: "What you want is right in front of you, front of you!" But will I get there?

Once upon a time, I heard that they were turning Legally Blonde (a movie with Reese Witherspoon) into a Broadway musical. My reaction was, "are you kidding me?! that is the stupidest idea ever!"

So about two years later, I had received some target gift cards for my 18th birthday. I don't buy much at target; usually just movies. So Iwent to look at movies and didn't find much I wanted, so I decided to look at the musical soundtracks. They only had a few: Jersey Boys, West Side Story, and Legally Blonde. I thought, "what the heck? I'll get them all! I have nothing else to spend this money on." And guess what?! I FELL IN LOVE WITH LEGALLY BLONDE!!!!!! They changed the story so that it was way cuter than in the movie. And the songs were FANTASTIC!!! I wanted to share my love for this musical with others, but everyone thought I was a weirdo. I had Caitlin listen to the music. She was hooked. And at school, I found out that two of my friends, Cortney and Rachel, also like the show! And I also found out that MTV had recorded a Broadway Performance and I watched and loved it even more!

So the four of us shared this deep love for Legally Blonde the Musical. And then GUESS WHAT!? About a year ago we found out that it was coming to Capitol Theatre!!! And we freaked out! And we bought tickets way in advance and spent more money on tickets than we really needed to, just to make sure that we saw it!!

And Legally Blonde is here!!! And we are going to see it on Friday! And I might just pee my pants with excitement!

But I keep worrying that something will go wrong. Last night I had a dream that we got there late, and then we found out that the lead was in the hospital and so Elle was going to be played by a local actress. And the local actress was Erin Crouch, who is an amazing person but she's not Elle Woods! I know none of that stuff would happen, but it seemed very real at the moment!

Then today while I was at school I got a call from my mom. I listened to the message and she said that there had been a fire at Capitol Theatre. It had happened in the night.I started to freak out! My dreams were ruined! But she continued to say that it was put out very quickly and Legally Blonde would be running normally! Phew!

Needless to say, I have been very anxious today. If something happens and I don't see this show with my friends I will be very upset. The End.

An Excellent Reminder

I have gone and done baptisms for the dead many times in my life. But I have never been baptized for someone I was related to before, because there are some geneology-crazed people in my family who have made sure everyone's temple work is done. On Saturday, I not only got to be baptized for a relative, but it was someone I actually knew on this earth! Her name was Jean. She was one of my English cousins. Actually, she was my my great-grandma's cousin, but we call all of our relatives who live in England our English cousins. She came to the U.S. about three different times in my lifetime, and she was very sweet and she always called me "love" which I thought was awesome! Being baptized and confirmed for her was such a wonderful experience for me. I was thinking about my baptism 11 1/2 years ago and how different my life would be without it. Being Baptized for her reminded me of everything I know and how it has blessed my life.



Membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints brings me more joy than anything else for so many reasons. Knowing that I am a daughter of God gives me the confidence to work hard in all that I do. It's what keeps me going when I feel like giving up. Knowing that Jesus Christ is my Savior and my friend is the biggest blessing in my life. I have become so much closer to Him in the last two-ish years. I always thought that the Atonement was for when we made really big mistakes, and since I have never done that, I didn't really pay as much attention to the Atonement as I should have. But then I started to lose some of my closest friends, and nothing was working out the way I wanted it too. I felt really alone because no one knew how I felt. Some people even said they were glad to see that my life FINALLY wasn't going perfectly. Ouch. And through these times I learned the Jesus Christ knew exactly how I felt. He suffered for EVERYTHING I have gone through, and so He knows how to heal me. I now make Him a part of my life in everything I do, and it makes life so much more bearable.

I am also grateful for the Holy Ghost. It is through the Holy Ghost that I am able to draw closer to God and to know what I should do in my life.

I love this Gospel, and I am happy that Jean now has the opportunity to have these blessings. And I am grateful that although my life is insanely busy right now, I took the time to go to the temple so that I could reflect on these things that I know.
