Birthday Dream Destination

So...since it's my birthday tomorrow, I thought I should dream a little and post my next "Dream Destination." I want to stay relatively close...

Location: Las Vegas

Reason: It's my birthday! And why not spend it in a city that is always ready for a party?! Plus, I have never been and it's tme I go.

Appeal: Bright lights, casinos, and shows! And...I would finally get to say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!"

Obsession...


Ok, so I am still obsessed with stalking people who have just gotten married so I can look at their wedding photos. It's quite a sickening addiction and those of my friends who have witnessed me look at these pictures will tell you that it has really gone too far. I am "oooh"ing and "awwww"ing left and right and am pretty much on the verge of tears...mainly because these are beautiful photos but also because I want pretty pictures too.

One site has photography by Katelyn James, who is brilliant! She is great and her pictures are breath-taking...please take a look at her webpage.

Live From the Director's Chair...or Rather, the Asst. Director's Chair



I will be the Assistant Director for Billy Bishop Goes to War, a show that VSC is performing January 19-February 7 2010. I am very excited to not only work with a brilliant director, but to be back in the rehearsl process again. I am currently working at VSC in the Box Office and I miss being in production. I have begun to do a little research for the show and in doing so I have begun to realize how much I miss being "behind the scenes." The Box Office has its moments of fun and enjoyment...but my heart lies in the process of creating the show!

So theater lovers...I will try and keep you posted on the process. Plus, I will even post some "behind the scenes" stuff about the show from an Asst. Director's perspective! :) Stay tuned!

One True God

There is a song on KLOVE (radio station...also found online) that is speaking to my heart right now. Mark Harris sings of his God being "true" and the first verse gets me EVERYTIME.

"I don't have a God I can put on a stand
Or a God I hold in the palm of my hand
I have a God that's holding me..."


What a beautiful image! My God is not a "thing" I can put on a stand or hold in my hand...He is the One who is holding me! I just love this idea and beleive it fully!

Times are rough and everyone goes through periods where we need a helping hand. It's nice to be reassured that God is ALWAYS there for us and He is the One holding us and protecting us from harm.

Here is the song for you to enjoy and I recommend you finding it to listen to as well. :)

One True God - Mark Harris

I don't have a God I can put on a stand
Or a God I hold in the palm of my hand
I have a God that's holding me
And I don't have a God that I can create
In the place I live with the money I make
I have a God, He made everything
So I don't need a temporary man made deity
When I got the real thing
I got the real thing

He's the Lord of all the earth
The maker of all things
He alone is the one true God
Kingdoms rise and fall
But even through it all
He remains
The one true God

I don't have a thing that I got on my own
I don't have a care that I carry alone
But I have a God who's carrying me
I don't have sin that He doesn't forgive
And I don't have a heart that is worthy of His
But I have a God who still loves me
So I don't need a temporary man made deity
When I got the real thing
I got the real thing

Who is this King of Glory
The Lord strong and mighty
Who is this King of Glory
The Lord strong and mighty
Who is this King of Glory
Who is this King of Glory

Saintly Wisdom

---St. Agnes


"Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ below me, Christ above me, Christ at my right, Christ at my left, Christ in lying down, Christ in sitting, Christ in rising up, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks to me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me."
---St. Patrick of Ireland


"In everything, whether it is a thing sensed or a thing known, God Himself is hidden within."

Awww...I Am Loved



It is nice to know that people you work with like you...especially when it's written on a dry-erase board in our office!

Thanks lovely ladies of the Box Office!

Seriously...you all rock my world. Yep, it's true! ;)

Movies I REALLY want to see...

Those In Theaters Now:

1- The Ugly Truth...It has Gerard Butler. Enough said.

2- The Time Traveler's Wife...It's a great novel and I am anxiously awaiting how this story goes from paper to film...plus it has Rachel McAdams and I adore her.


Those In Previews:


1- The Blind Side...It is a heart warming story (the preview made me cry) and it has Sandra Bullock who I love.



2- New Moon...I cannot help it...I have been bit by the Twilight Saga bug (or vampire?)
