Honk Jr.

We finally got the pictures back from when my sisters and I were in Honk Jr. The above is a picture of the mother duckling and her ducklings (my sister is the fourth from the left.) 


Another adorable duckling (and Drake) picture.
Yours truly! I got to act with a disabled boy who was extremely nice! This show has even more meaning because the main character has a disability and can convey the meaning of being different in a special way. I really enjoyed being in this show! (And just so everyone knows: in theater, green is supposedly an unlucky color. This show went off without a hitch. In your face, superstition!)
"Ugly" and my gang of froggies They were the bomb dot com!
I have the best kiddos!

We had a really great cast and a fantabulous show! I really loved Honk Jr!

My Life and Me

Hello, all! So, here is a little overview of my life! This is my newly adopted brother!

I know, too cute to be true, right? I wish I could say I took this picture but, unfortunately I did not. My amazingly talented friend did, however, so all credit goes to her.
Now this picture I did take. We have lots of animals at our house and we love them to death. This is a photo of our first two rabbits.
The above shows me (far right) when I played Annie last summer. Aren't I cute? The other lovely ladies are my siblings and my friend. (In the background you can see bald "Daddy Warbucks" standing on the stage.)
Me in "Seussical the Musical" as Thing 1 in 2010.

Here is a picture of me as the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland in 2009

 This is me (left) with my grandma and my little sister when we were in Honk Jr; a musical about the story of the Ugly Duckling. Yes, I am the crazy person with the green hair. Don't worry, the dye was washable. Now you can see how I earned my nickname "The Green Girl." I played the Bullfrog and my little sister was the character Ugly.
Behold my gorgeous mare, Rosie who is expecting in April! She is a Pony of America with the sweetest heart any four-legged animal has ever possessed.
Here's a snapshot of me helping my mom out by reading a school book to some of my siblings. (Note: I said some. Last I counted I had five siblings. Maybe I counted one twice...)

So there you go, that is a piece of my life. Family. Friends. Acting. Animals. Blogging. I love life.

Wow! My first blog post. Yeahya! I'm super excited about having a blog and can't wait to get started. After asking my parents for what seems like years, I am thrilled to finally have my very own, honest-to-goodness blog! First of all- some things about me.

1.) I love the Lord. He means everything to me! I can do nothing on my own without Him!

2.) I love my family. I have five siblings, two amazing grandparents and a large family of incredibly supportive people.

3.) I love my friends. My friends are supportive, encouraging and all-around fantabulous. Where would I be without them?

4.) I love theater. A lot of people consider me as another teen who has been recently bitten by the acting bug. Personally, I view myself as a passionate performer who wants to be a light in the world of theater. It's just who I am. But lots more on that later.

5.) I love writing. Hence the blog. However, I am terribly good at procrastination (I really need a T-shirt or something. Maybe even a coffee mug...) so I apologize in advance for very looooong periods of time between blog posts.

6.) I love animals. I live on a farm in the city. Yes, I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but please stay with me. Our house is near the city yet we have about an acre of land populated by horses, goats, chickens, bunnies and turkeys. The term "farm" in our dictionary doesn't mean rolling hills and a creek just down the dirt road. Nor do we have a garden (beyond some dead weeds in our yard) or a cute red farmhouse. Nevertheless, we still consider our one acre of dead dirt (yes, there is such a thing in Arizona) and our handful of animals a farm.

7.) I live in a desert. I would love to be one of those people with a gorgeous garden, alive with the smell of rich dirt and basil, but that is next to impossible in AZ. Sigh.

8.) I am home schooled. As I am in High School, I realize that I am truly blessed to be able to finish my algebra homework in my pajamas.

9.) I know nothing about photography. But I am very eager to learn even though I may have to wade through thousands upon thousands of duds, blurries, and epic failures. So, please do not judge my humble attempts at photography as I experiment.

10.) I know nothing about Facebook or Twitter. Shocking, I know.

That's basically me. Welcome to my life! I hope to write more blog posts as soon as something blog-worthy happens to me. So please follow me!
