Updating... a little later than expected....

OK- so I don't consider myself a computer nerd, but WOW. I have been without my own internet access for more than a week now and I have been going CRAZY!!! :-) As of today I am proud to say that I at least have a land phone line that I can dial-up with... hee hee. I feel as if I'm back in 1995 when we first got our computer with AOL and we would listen to it dial up and all of a sudden, we were connected to the WORLD!!! :-) Ha. ANYWAY-

So since I got back from the NYC I have moved, got these LOVELY plastic hooks put on two of my teeth (explaination coming...) and let's see... what else... Oh yeah, and rehearsed lots for my upcoming show. It opens on June 10 and I am still feeling a little behind because of my long trip... but it was worth it. :-)

OK- teeth explaination. I haven't mentioned that whole thing on here. Sometimes, Amy here gets a little vain. So for a long time I have wanted to get a few of my teeth straightened. There was only one on top that bothered me, and a few on the bottom. So I took a trip to the dentist and began this "invisible" teeth straightening treatment called "Invisalign." It's great and I recommend it to anyone. :-) ANYWAY- so my teeth are almost "done"- after only FOUR MONTHS might I add- but there are a few things that still need fixing. Sooooo the other day I got these lovely plastic hooks put on two of my upper teeth. I hook elastics to these hooks and wear them all the time. I feel like I am 12 again. Hee hee. But actually, it's not even bad. They are, for the most part, really clear and hardly noticable. Only tonight we had cast pictures taken for my show, and I am rather dredding what I will look like with those lovely things on my smile.... oh well. :-) Such is vanity...

I don't have any pictures to post. I am too lazy to get my camera out and attempt even putting them on this blog through a dial-up connection. It might take YEARS...

The Rest of NYC- and HOME!!!!

Hi from UTAH!!! I am back at home... well, I don't have a home right now, but I am back in Utah. I have never- well- maybe when I came home from 30 day YA tour- appreciated the SMELLS, the SIGHTS, and THE PEOPLE of UTAH. Seriously, I LOVED NYC- and if I had a job, I would totally move there. BUT really- I love home. Utah is beautiful. The hustle and bustle of the city was exciting for a few days, but I tell ya- I was BEYOND ready to come home. I got off the plane at 6:30, and when straight to my Crazy For You rehearsal... it's good to be back there too!!! I have the entire first act to learn- but I think it'll be fine. I have lots of great people to help me!!!

My mom and me at Central Park

SUCH a great show! "The Odd Couple" with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick

Another childhood dream of me and Biff. The AMERICAN GIRL store. Brooke- this store was AMAZING. Remember back in the days of you having Molly, and me having Samantha and looking through the catalogs... well, THIS was a FOUR FLOOR CATALOG!!!

Groud Zero


Friday morning- leaving the hotel!!!

Anyway, so there's the rest of my trip! I am hungry and need to eat, but I'll update more later!

More pics! My Day in Central Park... and a few other places...

Well, today is Sunday. We went to church in the same building as the Manhattan Temple, and that was amazing- and other than that, life around New York City moves just as much as any other day of the week. My mom, Biff, Brett, and I spent the afternoon and early evening walking around Central Park. It was great fun!


On Friday we went to the "Top of the Rock." Coolest elevator ride I've taken in my life.... and the top was pretty great too!!!

The "Toys R Us" store in Times Square... I like candy.


Mine and Biff's DREAM as little girls... a life size Barbie mansion!!!


OK- this monkey was the most entertaining thing I have EVER seen at a zoo. That stick of his was his best friend- as he would play around with the other monkeys he would hit them on the head with his stick and he would even "pole vault" around the monkey habitat with it. It was FREAKING HILARIOUS!!


Me and Biff at the Hans Christian Anderson statue in Central Park


I like candy... AND flowers


Yeah- they gave us bubble gum at the restaurant- I liked that too. :-)

HELLO FROM NYC!!!!

My mom getting ready for her FIRST plane ride!!!!

Laurel and Me before our second "Showcase" performance


Hee hee. Amy and Les Miz. No more needs to be said.


My first Broadway show EVER! HAIRSPRAY!

My mom and I saw WICKED!


OK- this dessert was AMAZING. We had it near the Boston area. Peppermint ice cream sundae. I was OBSESSED!

This statue was in the Boston commons. It is in honor of the book, "Make Way for Ducking."


Hi everyone!!! Well, I am sitting in the business center of our hotel here in New York City... and it's been a great week!!!! I still have five days left!!! WAHOO! Anyway- things have gone VERY well and I have had meetings and auditions with Disney people and folks from WB television. So we'll see where it all goes. So far I have been able to see "Wicked," and "Hairspray," and this week I am seeing "Light in the Piazza," and "The Drowsy Chaparone." (Sutton Foster's new show... YAHOO!!!) Biff and Brett got here tonight! So the next week is bound to be fun!

The past three days I went up to the Boston area with my mom where we visited with a friend of hers who she hasn't seen in TWENTY-EIGHT years!!!! INSANE. They were cute together and it was a busy few days. I am pooped. I believe in the divinity of Sunday. :-) Anyway- enjoy the pics!!!
