This week has been extremely busy for both me and Stephen. I really try to plan my life out weeks in advance so that I know what to expect as the week begins. I have been in rehearsal for Singing in the Rain and have found the disorganization rough to plan around. Lately, the cast has been receiving emails the morning of rehearsal letting us know if we are called that night or not. This has become challenging to arrange for a babysitter in advance. Anyhow, Monday morning I was called to be in a movie for the show Singing in the Rain. I am lucky enough to have a great friend in town who was available to watch my boys while I went down and filmed my little bit in the movie. It took 5 hours. Then I had rehearsal that evening.
We had planned to go house hunting on Tuesday. I was really hoping to find our dream home. We did, but it already had an offer. UGH! My friend, Andrea, watched the boys for me, again. I am SO lucky! Although, we didn't find our perfect home in a perfect location, I am still determined to find the right place for us here in Albuquerque.
Yesterday, I was able to do my last two shows as Cinderella. I found out a few days prior to the shows that I was going to get to go. Stephen took the day off and spent the ENTIRE day alone with the boys. I left around 8 AM and didn't return home until 10 PM at night. Wow, long day for me and for Stephen. Stephen said he had a lot of fun just him and the boys. I am actually jealous I wasn't there. Ha ha. He did say that it wasn't too hard for him; however, the boys were on their best behavior.
I am so blessed to have a few good friends here in Albuquerque and a
WONDERFUL husband who help me live my dreams. I have been really lucky to be a part of a PAID traveling Opera company and to have experiences like filming and dancing and singing and laughing for live theater.
Last, but not least, Stephen and I were able to go on our monthly date. We went out for yogurt and then parked at the top of Volcano Cliffs and just talked. So wonderful!

I hate how the kids always act so well for their dads. I want my hubby to know what it's like to have them all day by yourself, when they are NOT on their best behavior...ha! Is that too much to ask?! LOL :)
i'm so glad you get to do so much with your singing talent! I had no idea as to what extent. cool. I might just have to call you sometime soon if you aren't too busy :)
