i still exist.
life has been crazy and exciting.
working towards some things for my future,
one of which involves school.
my sister and i started massage therapy classes today.
amazing story.
christian guy owns the school.
our families met randomly in a burger king parking lot.
they asked about our church, we asked about their school,
and he ended up offering us scholarships. !!!!
aaaaaannnddd…the law has just changed, requiring a six month
course instead of the original twelve-week course.
he got us in a class that started in time to be the shorter class.
so we like our fellow classmates, love our instructors, and can’t wait to practice and be practiced on three days a week.
the hardest part about this is not letting “school” distract me
from some other goals that i had set. not letting school take up more time
or energy than it actually requires.
i tend to be very lazy, and it doesn’t take much to talk myself into “resting” after
all my “hard work”. i don’t want to be a bum the rest of the week.
my Gracie-doll was a flower girl in a wedding a couple of weeks ago. she was beautiful (of course) and handled it all very well. we had asked her evaluator, Lyn, if she thought Sonya could handle it, and Lyn said, “yes, as long as the bride is aware that she won’t be the center of attention as long as Sonya is up there.” *grin* so true. she spent half the time waving back at the groom’s mother. maybe i can get some pictures posted. ha! i say that, but it rarely happens. life has taken priority over xanga. i guess that’s a good thing.
love to all my friends, most whom i hardly see these days!

I used to be good at massages, once upon a time. I don’t seem to have the hand strength any more. I’m hoping that changes, with recent events.
Awesome about the massage certification. I am supposed to know a lot about it, but I really only have a little experience. So we girls will have to get together and have a massage class sometime in December.
That’s so cute (about Gracie)
I have premium for another 19 days, maybe I could do a protected post with a bajillion picturesof everything and everyone we want to exibit.Cutie vrs. Cutie… I’ll be downstairs in a minute.
Yes! I definately would like to see you if you come to a show sometime soon. Let me know when you’re coming though. So I can be sure and be there if I’m not in the show and if I am in the show to stay afterwards to say hi. Just message me or something to let me know ahead of time. Yep, that is the life of an actor. The cool thing about it though is that I get to meet so many different people because of it. I don’t keep up with all, but I definately keep up with some. In theatre, the more people you know, the more successful you will be at always having a job. I am extremely jealous of your massaging skills. I’ve been thinking about getting a license in massage therapy, but I haven’t decided yet wheather I want to or not. I have to ask myself. “Would I really be comfortable giving massages to naked people?” Maybe I could get a license in more casual type massage with fully clothed or at least mostly clothed people.
