I know...it's been forever since I last wrote. Lots of things have happened in that time and it's time to catch you up. Here's the biggest thing that happened...
I got engaged.
Yep-most of you probably know this but for those who don't my delightful boyfriend surprised me on the 20th of March (the start of spring) and it was beautiful and wonderful and if anyone wants to know the details just let me know :)

Balancing my life has been crazy as well now, staying in touch with friends, balancing my work and my auditioning, seeing family, spending time with Mike, it's easier to just let exercise fall to the wayside. But if I don't take care of myself I won't be able to keep my body going to do all the things I want to do. Which is easier said than done but at least the I know the first step right?
On the theatrical end I had a really good callback for a great company here in Chicago- I didn't get in but it was the first callback since college that I didn't want to go and change anything afterwards...I felt really confident in what I put before them. I need to prepare to the next one coming up but I am learning that as long as I don't want to change anything...whatever they decide is fine with me (wow...what I learned in college is finally sinking in). The show I'm assistant choreographing is doing really well and I'm having so much fun with this company and really do hope I can work with them again sometime- the people are some of the nicest people I've ever worked with.
What prompted the post today is I actually went on a good run today- I've done a few 2 milers in-between the last time I wrote but I felt bad about my time or my mental state and I didn't want to write about it. But I did 3 miles in 35 minutes and I feel like my mindset is finally returning to a work out set. Maybe the wedding is finally sinking in and I am taking control of how I look. Maybe I'm sick of feeling like a lump. Maybe I want to get into a schedule so when my sister moves here I will have a schedule she can join if she wishes (she graduates in less than a week....oh my God). But whatever the mind switch it's working and I'm going with it. Maybe I will still run the 1/2 marathon this coming February. Maybe I won't. I have until July to figure it out. But I'm done being sick of my body. I'm done with feeling gross. I'm not saying I'm going to stop eating and will exercise all of the time and become a Barbie- I'm a foodie we know this won't happen. But I'm becoming more conscious of what I'm doing to it. I'm going to try to be smarter. And I hope you all join me.
