I'm not dead. . .yet. . .

So, for those of you who may actually still check this blog, I am not dead. Far from it, actually. My life has been full of fun lately complete with three camping trips; a three week stint in Utah visiting friends and family, seeing four musical performances, and buying a new car; my highest bowling score ever-158!; directing Peter Pan at drama camp in the mountains; playing volleyball and watching softball in Clement Park; and working out. I began a new job as an office manager for an evaporative cooling company as well as continuing to be involved in educational theatre. I begin directing A Midsummer Night's Dream next week at Chatfield High School, will help with their showcase, am teaching some choir classes and doing choreography and makeup at Lakewood High School this year, will direct Wheat Ridge High School's musical again this year, and will probably choreograph the fifth grade musical again. Woo hoo!

I continue to love my calling as the Enrichment counselor in the Relief Society presidency in my singles' ward. I serve with the greatest girls and just planned and executed a great activity. It was entitled "Everyone Has A Story" and I learned a lot more about the sisters in my ward. We made a delicious cajun chicken salad and had croissants, grapes, and key lime cheesecake as well. Mmmm. . .I'll post a few photos soon!

Well, I mentioned working out earlier and if you know me at all, you will know that I hate sweating! I am into the sixth week of working out five days a week for 45 minutes. I either work out on the elliptical or the treadmill, but I know that I need to start adding in some weight training. If you have suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I feel like my stamina and posture have improved and I am losing a bit of weight, but I have at least 20 pounds to go. Again, throw any suggestions my way. I am grateful to finally be in the habit of working out and do feel a sense of accomplishment after every completion.

Continue to post about your darling families and fun happenings and I hope to stay more up to date as well. Pictures coming SOON. . .
