It's been a while...

I know there are SO many posts like this on here, but I figured it's time to give Blogging a shot again!

So, since my last post SO much as happened. I performed on a cruise ship all year, cruised Alaska, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean, went to Tonga for Christmas, and got back to Utah in one piece to finish off my last semester at the Y.

Currently I'm in Xanadu at the Hale Center Theater in Orem, so come check that out! I'll keep posting as interesting things happen. :)

Here's the Facebook Photo Album from my Panama trip...the pictures aren't wanting to load.  If you're reading this you're probably my friend on facebook, and If not, just send me a comment.  :)

Enjoy!

Panama

Hey Guys!  Sorry its been a while since I updated, but I've just been really busy.  I will do my best to stay on track!

So I went to Panama!!  From Feb. 24th to March 8th.  It was brilliant!  Such a great experience!  My dad and I spent Thursday to Monday in Panama City.  We visited the sights in the cities, my areas in Cerro Batea, Las Lajas, Cativa, and Chorrera.  It was really great to see old friends again, and to be able to introduce them to Dad.  Some highlights include riding bikes on the Causeway, going to the Canal and the Temple, Portobelo fort, visiting Casco Viejo, el Valle de Anton, and the beach.  And of course, seeing friends, going to church in chorrera, and just being in the city!

We then headed on a plane to Bocas Del Toro.  It was pouring rain when we arrived, but luckily we had some good weather for snorkeling, swimming, and hanging on the beach.  Highlights of that included seeing dolphins in front of our hotel, snorkeling and relaxing on the Zapatilla 2 Island, relaxing and being pampered, and meeting some wonderful people at our hotel, the Dolphin Bay Hideaway.

After 3 days in Bocas, we took a bus into David, where we were able to visit Boquete (and go 4x4ing), and most importantly visit Concecion, one of my favorite areas.  Our Sunday there was very memorable, and I really really had a great time.

I know this update on Panama was so quick, but I'd be more than delighted to give more details...Just ask!  I'll post some pictures too!

I got to spend this last weekend with some WONDERFUl friends!  Max, Ashley, and Leslie came out from Utah to visit and play in San Francisco, and of course, see our wonderfully talented friend Preston Sadlier in Next to Normal!  It was a blast!  We played all day in the city, had a fun dinner, and Preson was AWESOME in his show!  Here's a video from the adventures we had!

Utah!

I had the WONDERFUL opportunity to visit Utah for a weekend, and it was a BLAST!  I visited my old stomping grounds of Provo the last weekend of January.  I got to see LOADS of wonderful friends, and see some AMAZING shows!

I got to see the wonderfully talented Brownyn Tarboton as Peter Pan twice, I got to see my dear friend Cameron Asay in The Foriegner, and my wonderful friends in Contemporary Dance Theater perform Dance In Concert!

I also had the opportunity to teach the dance class at the Callbacks for the Music Dance Theater major auditions.  So much fun!  Thanks to all those who helped!

I'd also like to thank those who lent me their beds and their couches, namely Mike Hansen, Darick Pead, and Kasi French!  Love you guys!

I also had the great opportunity to see Nikki Bohne as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde!!!  On my way home from Utah I stopped in Reno and spent the night with Nikki!  She was FABULOUS!  I saw her a second time that week with my family in Redding, CA.  She really is a star, and if you have the chance to see the tour, SEE IT!  She rocks!

Well, sorry this post was so fast, I'm out of time.  Let me know if you want to see any of Peter Pan.  ;)

How many times do you get to see Times Square like this?
