Goodbye, 20!

So tomorrow I will be 21.

Where in the crap did this year go?!

What I did at age 20:

• Survived my 2nd year of music at WSU- done with music theory classes forever!!!


• Was a WSU Concert Choir Officer- so fun!


• Was in the final production at RMT/Had to say goodbye to one of my favorite places on earth.


• Was in my first opera/first production at WSU.


• FINALLY SAW WICKED!/Awesome mini-road trip with Best friends!


• Decided to go on a mission.


• Was called to serve in the Argentina, Neuquen Mission!


• Got a job as a teacher at a daycare- I have learned so much from this job!


• Was in "Hairspray" at the Sandy City Amphitheater.

And the Main Highlight:

• WENT THROUGH THE TEMPLE!!!!

I know I did other things too. I really do stuff other than school and work and musicals. I promise. For some reason, I just never remember anything else.

Age 21 is going to be the most life-changing year ever! I'm so Excited!

I Have a Favor to Ask

Can you please pray for me and for my Hairspray cast?

I don't care what your beliefs are, I would still really appreciate it.

Here's the deal; I feel Satan trying to discourage me all of the time right now. I know it is because I am preparing for my mission and going through the temple in 2 days. He's not really tempting me, he's just trying to make me feel frustrated and inadequate. And unfortunately, it's working a little. With 2 jobs and the insane amount of stress Hairspray is causing, I just don't have the energy to battle these feelings.

As for my Hairspray cast, we've been through a lot of things we shouldn't have had to go through. You see, our director was causing a lot of problems and we were getting nothing accomplished and the show was just really crappy, despite the astounding amount of talent in our cast, and we were opening in a week. We were fighting and had lost our desire to make this show happen and no longer enjoyed rehearsal. Our director was fired on Friday, and it is amazing how relieved and close we all feel now.

Unfortunately, he left of lot of the show uncompleted, and some things he did do were, in my opinion, stupid. Now, in the last 3 days, we have redone a lot of the show and changed a lot of things. They are good changes, but now we only have 2 dress rehearsals to make sure we do all of the changes. It is very, very overwhelming.

I just need some help right now.
