Back to Blogging

I must say...it's been awhile since I've blogged! In some ways it seems like a LOT has happened in the past six months, and in some ways it seems nothing has changed.

Notable events:

I started a new restaurant job, and promptly quit within 2 months, realizing that Brother Jimmy's is the best restaurant job ever, and I only want to work there.

Cinco de Mayo with Sarah P and Kayla B! It was a good time to say the least.

Kenan and Nick visited NYC as Nick's surprise graduation trip!

The Annual UNC Arts Brunch was held, and more fun than ever! So glad William, Geoff and Katie came this year!

I sang at the Annual Actors Fund Benefit, with Brian Stokes Mitchell

My wonderful grandmother passed away. She was 89 years old. It was a really difficult summer because of this.

I was cast and performed in Oliver! with the Irish Repertory Theatre! We performed at the Shubert! What a neat experience... and Sean and Dayna were in it too!

The Saunders Family moved to London. They were one of my favorite babysitting family's, and I love those kids so much. I miss them all the time!

I auditioned for my first big pilot at Telsey + Co. Exciting!

I saw Laura Osnes' cabaret at Cafe Carlyle. Absolutely stunning, and such a fun night with William and Geoff.

I went to NC for Carly and Al's wedding, and had a great time reuniting with my girls in Chapel Hill!

I saw my dear friend and mentor perform the lead role, opposite Matthew Broderick, in Nice Work if You Can Get It on Broadway!

My parents visited! We had a blast.

I participated in The Bridge Program at One on One, and made some great contacts.

My friend Annie visited, with her friend Elizabeth, who's just the sweetest. We had a great time!

I had my 2 year anniversary in NYC

I sang at Marvin Hamlisch's funeral, alongside Idina Menzel, and hundreds of Marvin's friends, family and fans.

I served as Production Assistant for Ground UP's Underground Project.

I went to the US Open with Will for the 3rd year in a row! And my friend Brittany came too!

A prayer was answered, and I started babysitting for a former actress' kids. It's been a huge blessing. I now love absolutely every family I babysit for.

I went to Woodbury Commons - the biggest outlet mall in the country!

I went to Philly for the first time! Love it!

I saw real life Amish people in Lancaster, PA when I went to see my friend Kate in her opening night at the Fulton.

I went to my first Yankees game.

My dear friend Ellen visited! Twice!

I began studying Meisner Technique at Matthew Corozine Studios...it's intense, and really challenging, but good for me.

Mom visited again!

My choir sang at Carnegie Hall with the NY Pops, Kelli Ohara, Paulo Szot, and Aaron Lazar. The concert was called "Some Enchanted Evening: The Music of Rodgers and Hammerstein."

I joined my first book club! How adult of me!

I survived Hurricane Sandy. My roommate and I were so blessed to never lose power, or really experience much more than a heavy wind/rain storm. The damage in lower Manhattan and surrounding areas was horrific.

So there's the last six months in a nutshell... I promise to be better about blogging from here on out... :)
