Acting

I am taking a film acting class from Rick Macy --
you may have seen him as "Helam" in The Testaments.

I have always thought of him as a moving, believable actor, so I was pretty much ecstatic when I found out he was teaching a class in Provo. It is a small class filled with people who are extremely passionate about pursuing acting careers and they are all very advanced in their acting skills. It was a little intimidating at first, but now I feel like I fit in. I am learning a lot and I look forward to the class every week!

I have wanted to be an actress since I was a tiny girl.
It is something I have always loved and always pursued in some way or another.

It's hard to learn to be in the moment when I'm acting
and really feel the emotions my character is feeling ...
but it is a rush for me -- I can't get enough!

Miracles Do Happen.

I got pulled over by a BYU policeman and didn't get a ticket.
I repeat, the BYU policeman did not give me a ticket! BYU police are known for showing
no mercy.
I don't know how I got so lucky, but I was pretty ecstatic when I just got a warning.
I told him I'd never cross double lines and head into oncoming traffic to make a u turn
ever again.

Thank you, Mr. BYU Policeman.

Goodbye, My Love!

Clay and I aren't going to eat ice cream for a whole month.
That may not sound very challenging to you,
but ice cream is kind of like a food group for me.
I just want to prove to myself that I can do it.
Goodbye, my love. I'll see you on my birthday!
What is your favorite "food group"?

Shout out to Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand

I'm working on a feature about Erin Olson, who is married to Bart Olson (drummer for Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand), so I went to one of their concerts the other night. If you have never gone to one of their concerts, please do! They are SO entertaining. They have so much fun on stage and you will be smiling throughout the whole thing.

Fun at the office

Fun # 1: Clay and I had to pick up some magazines from the office on Saturday, and we had a little bit of fun with photo booth. I was laughing so hard -- tears came.

Fun #2: Secret Santa, an LDS movie with KC Clyde (The Best 2 Years) & Connie young (Singles Ward), was filmed at our office yesterday. It comes out in the Fall ... and I have a little appearance in it.

Fun #3: I was craving a bit of a change so I went darker. This is the first time I have officially dyed my hair!

Ratatouille

My friend Heather and I decided to make Rachel Ray's version of Ratatouille--Ratatouille wraps, to be precise. We even watched Disney's movie Ratatouille as we made it. Fitting, huh?

Christmas Catch Up

Here are some photos from the Christmas break that I finally downloaded. Among the fun is glittery Christmas tattoos, some Cheesecake Factory egg rolls I made and catching up with friends and family. It's always sad to say goodbye to Christmas!
