A quick test

I thought I would let you in on the progress from my new animated film.  As you can see in the test photos below, things are getting pretty close.  The puppets are nearly finished, the story and storyboards are good to go, and the sets are coming along.  In a week or two I will be animating full time on this hairy tale.

Alizalyn had her first day of school on Monday. She has been looking forward to "big girl school" for months. The school colors are royal blue and grey, and she loves her uniform (plus she looks really cute in it!) Her teacher is Mrs Ashely and she is very nice, Alizalyn likes her a lot. Two of her friends from her nursery school are in her class at King Charles Primary School. She goes for a full day, from 9 to 3, and she likes having lunch at school- she has had a jacket potato (baked potato) two days in a row because it is her favorite. We think she will have a great school year!

p.s. sorry I don't know how to make these photos not all over the place...

This is the Place!

 Honestly I have no idea what in the world is happening on this blog thing! it is far too confusing and hard to use for me haha!!

But, I thought I'd take a second and fill you all in on my life and what is happening in my life!

So, first of all I moved to Salt Lake City! I got a $27,000/year scholarship to Westminster College and I am there singing now! It is definitely an interesting change, but it is very accepting and pretty fun so far! I am singing in their chamber choir and they made me a section leader which kind of sucks... I guess I don't get to be too lazy anymore. As a choir we are traveling across France for two weeks this coming May!
I am also their lead tenor in the Opera program, so I am playing Fenton in The Merry Wives of Windsor this January!

Another cool thing happened this past weekend as well! Thursday night I got a phone call from a random number which I usually don't answer, but I chose to pick up thinking it was a possible car interest (because I am also selling my car) BUT, it ended up being the Utah Opera Company! They called and offered me a spot in their chorus for the upcoming Opera Tosca. I am so excited to be a part of a professional show and get paid to sing actually! It is very intimidating in rehearsals because I am by far the youngest person there. I think I am the only one under 30! But it has been such an incredible experience and I can't wait to preform at the Capitol Theatre!

These are the scores I am working on! One in English
and the other in Italian!

Do you all remember when we went and saw Wicked! at the Capitol theatre?!!? Well who would have thought just a few years later that I would be preforming in a professional show there??! I hope everyone can come see it!

My very first Porfessional Contract! Check out that Hancock!;)
