Happy New Year

Well hello everyone! It's been since July since I've really blogged and here I sit in bed at 1:30am feeling to need to blog.

Goodbye 2009.

2009 had some of the most amazing moments of my life - Highlights -
Being a paid staff member of CSC.
Growing Page 121.
Traveling with Page 121 to Scotland.
Falling in love in Scotland.
Babysitting.
Karaoke.

Already, i'm noticing a pattern. All of the most beautiful moments I've had were with my CSC people. You guys have made my 2009 so amazing and CSC is also responcible for making my 2008 amazing and my 2007 - Classic Stage Company has bee my theatre family since I moved here and I've learned an incredibly large amount of things from these amazing AMAZING people!

Page 121 has also been a huge part of my life - and growing that in 2010 is a new goal. Kaliski and the Page 121 artists have made it possible for us to go to Scotland in August 2009, and it was one of the most incredible things that I've ever done - talk about a feeling of accomplishment.

My dearest friends have graduated SRU and have moved on to work in theatres all across the country, and I'm so proud of them for pursuing careers in our little field of Art!

After scotland, I did not return to the Bubba Gump shrimp Co in which i spent 2 years of my life there - falling kind of in love for the first time, and meeting some amazing people, that I will remember forever!

New babies have been born into this world over the past 2 years (Deanna, Desiree, and karen) and I hope motherhood treats you all so kindly, and I hope that 2010 brings good health and happieness to you all...

Seeing Laura Smiley and being at SRU even for a short time was fabulous and for sure a highlight to my year - and yes, seeing you Nick was great as well.

Seeing Zeiler was amazing as well.

All of the amazing moments with Alisa, Steve, and Shanna-

Getting started on the Harry Potter books was the best thing I had ever done - I'm so thankful to my lethargics for introducing me to these series - I hope that I can always provide work for you all :-)

Laura Smiley also introduced me to an amazing chap - Lloyd Mulvey - who I've become so fond of and who has made some major contributions to my life and to the Jeff that I am now. Thanks!

Well - 2009 wasnt all peaches - It contained the first broken heart that i've ever had to endure. I'm still recovering from the pain, and some days it's fine, and others it still hurts. I was indeed with someone that I was completly content with and was pretty sure that I would be with this person for a very very long time - however, this did not work out. That was a sentance that I was sure I would never have to type - but I've typed it, and it's happened, and I've accepted it. I owe major thanks to this person for helping me grow and for teaching me what is important in relationships and what is not so important.

As painful as this moment is, i look back, and I am thankful for it because now I can be who I really am and I can take from my experience and become a better person because of it. Isnt that what all experiences are for?

All in all - 2009 - the good, the bad, and the ugly - it's been a GREAT year - The first part contained more love than I ever thoguht i was able to give, followed by the worst heartache, followed by major accomplishments followed by even more love than the first part. Life is so funny sometimes -

I look at where I was, literally, one year ago and I HAVE to smile because it is so bizaree how one can seem to have everything and then within the year feel it all slip away, and then being so content with the years events. CRAZY!

2010 is the start of a new decade - Lets wipe the slate clean - we can all start again new and fresh and we can continue to grow and develope and shape into the beautiful people that we can be.

As the end of 2009 approaches, I have ALL of you, allof my friends, adn all of my family in my heart and I am thinking about you...Wishing you all love, success, happiness, and good health in the new year.

ANd now, as I have been blogging EVERY final week of December for the past 3 or 4 years, I've always ended my blogs the SAME way - and I shall do this time - God Bless and be well.



And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
