Summer is over



I can't believe how fast summer flew by. I tried stretching it out as far as I could, but being that our first day of school is monday there is no more denying it: Summer is over! Some pretty amazing things happened this summer. Firstly, my summer job at the theatre! Singing and dancing pretty much sums up my job description. This summer I got to play "Winifred" in "Once Upon a Mattress." That entailed jumping off mattresses, hypnotizing princesses and very Big red hair! In "The Drowsy Chaperone" I played Kitty. Just Kitty. She was a ditzy chorus girl with a really squeaky voice who wore a fox around her shoulders. (Someday I will wear a fox for real, that was so fun.)Lastly in the "Marvelous Wonderettes" I played "Suzy" the sweetie. That show was a blast because it was all girls. Serious sisterhood. And not to mention I got to be pregnant in the second act. I love to do theatre simply because it brings me joy. I love to sing. I love to dance. I love to make peolpe laugh. And I love to... dress up!

Now surprisingly, summer didn't just consist of theatre. 
This summer I....

Performed in the dance Recital
Did the Waterton 2 Glacier relay 
(Mine and Tim's first race together yay!)
Cheered my siblings on at dance competition
Helped rid my two familiies of lice (PAINFUL)
Completed my first triathlon 
Organized and ran a dance camp with Michelle and Chelan
Went to a toga party 
Discovered that I have faint, yet exsistant freckles
Got eyelash extensions (Best investment of my life)
Wake boarded for the first time
Saw the musical "9 to 5"
Went to an Arcade 
Played at a trampoline park
Suntanned at Lake Powell

Now just to elaborate on that last one... Lake Powell was a BLAST! We went with Tim's family. We wakeboarder, water-wieneid, suntanned, read books, played cards, went swimming and relaxed. It was thanks to that trip that I felt rested and ready for school! So here I am back in Hawaii and ready to boot. After such an amazing summer I can't wait to see what adventures the school year brings.

My cute swimsuit I bought just for Powell.



Thankfully the care instructions 
didn't prove to be true...


Ahhhh the beauty of the earth.
