Audition Dreams

No, not dreams like hopes and goals for an audition to go well, actual dreams in my sleep about auditioning. I should mention that I dream a lot. There was even a period in my life where I would have frequent nightmares (sometimes every night for a week). Fortunately the nightmares are gone and I am having normal dreams again.

Last night I had two separate dreams, one in which I was auditioning for American Idol and I was trying to pick out the right song to sing, but just couldn't find it, and the other one in which I was trying to find the right monologue for an audition I had coming up. I know why I had both of these dreams. The church that I am attending in Atlanta (Buckhead Church) is holding auditions for their KidStuf program. I am hoping to attend these open auditions and I am pretty excited because it would mean that the four years of music theatre classes at NYU would be helping me serve God at my church. Unfortunately, apparently I am also anxious about these auditions; probably because I haven't had an audition since attending NYU. I know there's not a lot of people that read this blog, but if anyone reading this has a suggestion of a funny kid appropriate monologue and rock song that I could use feel free to let me know!

This audition and these dreams last night also got me to thinking about auditioning in theatre again. Now, here's the thing, I really feel that God has called me into ministry for Him. And yes I know that ministry can be anywhere you are and everywhere you work, but I'm saying I am really passionate about working in the church and I really believe that I'm being led to work in the church. However, that time may not be right now and I may be starting to get the theatre itch again (I was bitten by the bug ever since I was young). I don't want to make theatre my career and there is definitely a limitation to which shows I would even audition for, but lately I've been perusing the auditions in Atlanta more and more and wonder how I would do if I went to one. Just thought I'd share my auditioning thoughts and dreams. =)

Romantic Husband!

My husband is very romantic! Valentine's day is the anniversary of our first date so it is very special to us. This past Valentine's Day was kind of low key, but we had a very nice dinner at home where we actually sat at our dining table and had music playing. Joe got me the best presents I could think of. He got me two seasons of "Gilmore Girls" (which is the new show I am currently addicted too) and a gift certificate to a spa for a message (or facial or whatever I want to use it for). =) I just wanted to say what a good and thoughtful husband I have. It was a very nice relaxing Valentine's Day and I hope everyone had as good of a Valentine's Day as I did!
