I wonder how much it would cost to drive to Nova Scotia. It is around $800 to fly there. |

I am getting really frustrated in my search for finding a good opera summer program.
I want it to include:
-Performing a whole show (I don't care which as long as there is a good low mezzo part)
No recitals-only programs or opera scenes if I can help it.
-Intensive language lessons
-Not $8000 please.
-Great staff.
Any ideas? |

I'm looking for someone who knows how to apply this kind of crazy dramatic eye makeup. Please respond if you know how or know someone who does! Thanks

Heard we sold out the show tonight and people had to sit in the aisles because they REALLY wanted to see the show. Nice!
One day left. |

I love weeks when everything seems to make sense and as a bonus you lose 6 pounds.
Beau and I just hung out on our huge california king bed and talked for the last few hours about life and stories to write and things on our minds. It's nice to be home with someone I love so much. |

One of our favorite adventures on our honeymoon was walking along the bottom of the ocean with weighted oxygen helmets. I was the first of the group to go down and had to wait on the ocean floor by myself for about 2 minutes (felt like 20 minutes) with hardly any visibility. I kept floating up slightly (you're supposed to be able to walk along the bottom easily) so I got a weight belt (oh the irony) added before we started our underwater trek.
It was definitely not as nerve racking as standing on the edge of the bridge about to bungee jump two years ago, but I still felt odd without anyone in front of me - worried I wasn't going the right way.
At one point we had to kneel at this table covered with spiky sea urchins. We were encouraged to hold them or put them on the front of our masks (they stick!) and I was the first to do so, but suddenly my finger caught a barnacle and split open.
I'm being dramatic. It only looked like a bad paper cut - but it went so deep! Blood started coming out in little drifts and I started having "shark week" flashbacks ("They can smell one drop of blood in water the size of a football field..."). I had a sudden nightmare montage of the entire group being attacked by sharks all because of me and my few drops of blood. I motioned that I wanted to go back up and they helped me right away. It bled a lot more when I was in the open air which made me feel slightly less embarrassed in front of the crew - and I only ended up missing out on about 3 minutes of underwater time.
Beau came out of the water with a huge grin which made it all worth it (he hadn't wanted to go at first).
We did a couple of things like that, saw the typical sights and went on a sunset cruise, but mostly we read books or played the DS in the sun by the pool. Of course we had to take breaks during happy hour (2 for 1) from 2-4 at the swim up bar. I always thought I hated pina coladas (mostly due to hating that stupid song) but it turns out I love them - and love Chichis more (pina colada/vodka/grenadine).
We sang karaoke and the host kept dragging me back up every other song to sing again. I sang "son of a preacher man", some Queen, and B52s among other things. Beau got up a few times which was awesome. When an older man sang a Sinatra tune, Beau and I went up front and danced which led to other couples getting up too. This was all under a magnificent pink and blue sunset that seemed like a dream while the waves continued to crash along the sandy beach.
From then on, people from our resort called me "the singer" and strangers would look at me curiously like I was someone famous they should know.
Now that we're back I have to focus on the opera and starting school again. I'm a senior credit wise but am only a junior in the music dept (haven't done my junior recital yet). Need to start getting ready for the met competition if I'm doing it...so soon! aahh!
Guess the honeymoon is over (plus they sent Beau out of town to work again for TWO WEEKS immediately - SO WRONG). |

Hello from Beau and I!
We are at our resort in Cabo - it is amazingly beautiful.
It's 2 am and we're going to go sit on the beach in the dark and listen to the waves crash.
Had the most perfect wedding EVER. |

ooohhhh. I found a house I really want to rent. It's right down the street from my brother (and nephews and niece) so that would be delightful if Beau and I start a family in the next few years (eek). It's a two story house with a lot of landscaping possibilities which I love the thought of... Hmm... We can afford it but the kitchen looks a bit ghetto and Beau has this thing about kitchens. Maybe we'll view it this weekend. |
