One of those "LIVE" nights

Went out with some friends to see an awesome band called FEARMIA in downtown Pasadena. We had a great time listening to one those groups you wonder why isn't famous. I just don't get it. Anyways they were great, the company was great (I learned how to two step from a Texan!) and the night was quite memorable.

CLOC 2000

I can't believe it has been 10 YEARS since we closed Evita at the College Light Opera Company. It was the best summer and I made life long friends there. Nine shows in nine weeks, plus auditions, rehearsals, and who could forget CHORES. Pots pots pots I love you lots! Since then we have had castmembers get married, have babies and work everywhere from Broadway to the Met.

Miss you all!

Life in musical theater and Little ones

I am doing a musical theater workshop boot camp in LA. I am having a wonderful time, and have been stretching my dance abilities which were in desperate need of stretching.  I have also been able to reconnect with one of my best friends in the world Beth and her gorgeous family. I finally feel like I have finally gotten to know her kids and they have also gotten to know their crazy auntie Adriana. Here are some pictures of my experiences here in the past month. I can't believe it has already been that long...it has gone by very quickly already.

Here are some pictures of where I am studying.  I am so blessed to have a patient, kind and talented dance instructor and we work out of this estate outside of LA. It has 14 bathrooms. I thought it was exciting to have 2 in my new condo in Jersey.

Here are my niece and nephew. ;) They are so sweet and so smart, and I have never seen toddlers help clean up with their parents before! Wonders never cease.

Our first home!

I can't believe it, but Jason and I closed on our first property together! He has done most of the work, and has blown me away with it all.  He even went over with the new keys and cleaning supplies in hand and prepped for the move.  I am leaving New York State for the first time, (well, with all of my traveling I don't know if I can really say that) but my Zip code is officially changing. How will I change to 0----?? I'm going to be a Jersey girl! Weird. But Awesome. I am in love with the neighborhood already and I could only part with my dear Astoria to a neighborhood that rocks. Cobblestone streets, brownstones, and two sweet parks within walking distance.  We have a penthouse apartment with a rooftop, two bathrooms and are steps from the water and train. We can even take ferry home! Very British Columbia for my BC boy.  The apartment isn't all fancy and modern but is a diamond in the rough ready to be shined up.  Perfect for us. We'll take care of that.

High Ceilings

Love the Spiral Staircase

A Perfect NYC view

Bathroom #1-begging for a reno-though I love the little B&W tiles

Master Bath-also begging for a reno

Fireplace-yes, I said it before and I'll say it again-will be renovated. HGTV is my best friend right now.

One Bedroom

I can't believe I won't be there to say goodbye to my Queens apartment that I love so much and that all of us have had fond memories in. But being away for the goodbye is probably for the best because maybe I'll feel like I can always go back.  I did say I would never leave unless we bought something and I spoke the truth! I need to be careful with that. Thank you to our parents for blowing us away with their help, support and generosity! There is no way we could do this without them

We are thrilled. :)

A little list, and A little memory

Likes today:

• My husband-he his my best friend and he is hot. Good combo.

• California sun (even though, I can't believe I'm saying this, I miss the rain)

• So You think You Can Dance-the best show on TV-if you don't watch it you are missing out big time...the finale is coming! Set the DVR!

• Singing Mary Poppins-Ok that statement officially makes me a musical theater super geek...but I'm sorry umbrella-ography is kinda fun 

• Singing Judy Garland repertoire-no explanation necessary 

• McDonald's iced coffee-huge size for super cheep. Me likey.

Dislikes today:

• Being away from my that hot best friend I mentioned. Sad face.

• Driving a car-seriously high maintenance and totally over-rated. The gas, the traffic, the parking, the merging...If you have never experienced not having one, you can't understand the freedom you have sans auto.

• Commercials-without DVR I have realized how horrible they are! We are saturated with ads as a society. Blech!

Picture of the day:
Titled-"I miss not doing anything...like when I was on my honeymoon in Mexico"

That was fun.
So this is blogging. This might happen.
