Big Changes

Big changes are on the horizon. And by horizon I mean 23 days. Four years ago I would have never seen myself in this situation, but now I realize that it is exactly where I'm supposed to be. 

You see (and if you can't tell by the amazing photos), I'm getting married. I'm getting married to a boy who loves me and supports all that I do. I'm getting married to a boy who cares about my well-being and wants to help me in everything. Could he be any more perfect? Yes, because he loves sports and musical theatre. 

Obviously big changes are a common' because, hey, I'll be a wife. I say goodbye to my single selfish self and instead pledge my support, respect, and love to another human being. But there will always be other changes. There are changes in how I look at my career. Three years ago I desperately wanted to hop on a cruise ship as a performer and sail around the world. Now? Not so much. The idea of being gone nine months out of the year and sharing a small cramped space with another human is not so appealing. The idea of being on a national tour for a year doesn't either. I've been asked by countless people (even those who've mentored me) about how I will make this work. 

This being: Being in Theatre vs. Being Married

Yes, there are going to have to sacrifices-whether it's turning down a job or being away from home. Yes, I am going to have someone who I constantly am held accountable to in regards to actions I perform on the stage. And yes, many of my conflicts will be in regards to family events. But I don't think the two are complete opposites. I think there is a lot of good to come of this. I always have a number one fan. I have a person who will help me learn lines. I have someone who I can talk to about things other than theatre. I have a person who I am held accountable to...who will ask me if I am going out to auditions and working hard.  Plus I'm getting a great new name.
