I move to Cedar City, but only for six weeks, then I'll be back for six weeks, at first in Pleasant Grove, and then maybe in Payson, maybe in Nebraska for a bit, then I'll be back to Cedar City for four weeks, then who knows! Since Bud will be back from the mish and at BYU I foresee some visiting of the 'lil bro in September. How exciting!!!
I think I will have to be outdoorsy in Cedar. I don't mind the outdoors TOO much, as long as someone else plans my excursions into them. I've been told that I MUST be outdoorsy or I will have nothing to do. I plan to get in with my ward right off the bat, perhaps initiate some foursquare. Perhaps my Provo buds would come down and be outdoorsy with me, I can't give them a place to stay, or guarantee I won't have to work that Saturday, but they can come if they want :).
I'm trying to decided if I want my ward's first impression of me to be uber femme fetale as I am want to be on a Sunday, or if I should go for a more approachable, not 6'3"
Shelby. I'll probably default to the first.

A car
I officially own Vay-noos, the my sister's Saturn that I've been driving for two and a half years! Of course the DMV people were a lot scarier in my head and the whole paperwork stuff took about 6 minutes, if that. I opted for the arch plates because I don't ski. If I was a DMV worker I'd be the happiest most cheerful one ever. This is no reflection on the worker I had. She was very nice, but I'd be SO nice people would blog about me. That being said, I'm super glad that for the time being it looks as though I will not need to be a DMV worker.
I head to Cedar City on Wednesday morning! Today is MY day to get ready, as the last week has been Janet's. I'd be more motivated if it wasn't raining a ton. Mostly I just want to watch Netflix in bed.

I hate catch up so here it is.
I move to Cedar City on Wednesday, less than a week. Since graduating I've been working with Janet, my USF designer, to get ready to go to Cedar City. I've been living at my friend Martha's and have been thoroughly enjoying the fact that when I'm done for the day I'm DONE! No homework. I bought Vay-noos (my car) from my sister, which I am super grateful for. I have a job, I have a car, I am moving out of Provo. I am beginning my life as a bonified adult. Funny huh?
I went to lunch with my friend John yesterday and was telling him how I haven't really minded Provo that much. It's a good size, it's close to Orem and Salt Lake, and the closest and most useful place I could live in and be close to my sister Ashley. I live in Provo because BYU is in Provo and for four years BYU has been my life, so Provo has been great. But now I'm leaving! Exciting huh? I've only been to Cedar City twice, and for entirely Utah Shakes reasons. Even though small town UT might not be too too big of a difference from Provo I'm stoked to work at a professional theatre, to be around all them cowboys and catch up with an old Young Women's leader that's in Cedar City.
I will miss people from Provo. I can't think of another situation where dinner group would be possible, or where all your neighbors are super good friends because you all go to church together and play four square once a week. I've loved my ward. It is truly amazing and I'll miss the people in it, but I'm not one for mushy-ness. I don't pretend that I'll remember absolutely everyone's names from BYU. There are people I'd love to keep in touch with, and thanks Facebook, that's possible, but all in all I'll remember the wonderfully fun times I had in this ward after Peter Pan was over and I let myself have a semblance of a life for the first time since high school.
Am I getting sentimental? I don't mean to...Life's just been oodles of great recently and even though not having super solid plans for the next 18 months of my life freaks the crap out of me, not to mention choosing a grad school, I recognize that this is all a part of growing up. I just can't wait for the day that I can stay in one place for more than a year and can buy IKEA furniture and paint walls.

2011 looks awkward
A'ight, well the oh so even year of 2010 is come and gone, and with it my hope for easy anniversary math. I figured in about 2009 that 2010 would probably be the best year for me to get married since I hate math and 10 is a very good looking, easy number. I didn't even get close to getting married in 2010. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying my chance at super easy math is gone.
2011 promises to be a great, albeit not entirely planned year. The most predictable part about 2011 will be my graduating in April with my BA in Theatre Arts Studies, emphasis in costume design. Other than that I'm planning on working the seasons at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, then who knows! Hopefully I can get an offer from some of the conferences and festivals I'll go to this year. Anyway, I'm leaving BYU forever so I've come up with some "Before I leave the safety, warmth and comfort of the bubble" resolutions. They follow:
-hike the Y at night (only hiked it during the day once...)
-visit the filming locals for the movie "The Sandlot" in Salt Lake, Midvale and Ogden
-go hot springing
-go hiking!!! (I've completely neglected nature for the past four years)
-go inside EVERY building of the BYU campus
AND (mostly for my own sanity)...
-eat lunch outside the HFAC w/ someone else at least twice a week.
That's all I'm really dying to do, but if you know of anything else I MUST resolve to do before I leave, let me know! And if you want to help me accomplish any of these goals give me a call.

Degrees of seperation
Ok, so I've had this figured out for awhile, but I'm six legit degrees of separation from Gandalf. So here we go...
I worked Brian Stokes Mitchell's wardrobe for his BYU concert who was in Frasier with
Kelsey Grammer who was in Cheers with
Ted Danson who is married to
Mary Steenburgen who was in Back to the Future III with
Christopher Lloyd who was in Back to the Future II with
Elijah Wood who was in Lord of the Rings with
Sir Ian Mclellan who is Gandalf.
Want me to do do Dumbledore? Ok.
I met Toby Stephens who is
Maggie Smith's son who was in Harry Potter with
Michael Gambon and/or Richard Harris.
That one was pretty short. I hope to expand my degrees as I work in the biz. Since I know Janet Swenson who worked on the Osmond Show with the likes of Bob Hope I'm two degrees away from lots of famous people, but that is kind of cheating. Not really, but I want more legit connections. I have other friends who've work w/ famous people, so try me!
Javier Bardem for Nadin
I've worked with Carl Wesson who worked hair and make up on Maverick with
James Garner who was in Space Cowboys with
Tommy Lee Jones who was in No Country for Old Men with
JAVIER BARDEM.
There you go.

Entertaining
I love to entertain. I love to cook a lot of food and have friends over. This all started sophomore year after my big break up when I needed to actually meet people since I'd spent all of Fall semester pining. Since then I've had lots of fun dinners. I love to be in the kitchen and make lots of comfort food, which I'm good at. I also like wearing my frilly apron I got from work for Christmas last year. I've had chili nights, stew nights, and Navajo taco gatherings. I used to, but have stopped, have Baking Wednesdays. Lots of new recipes from that.
Tonight, following in the tradition we started last year, we had our Home Teacher appreciation dinner (plus boyfriends). Genevieve and I's HT Ben informed us that today is The Virgin of Guadalupe Day in Mexico so we enlisted the help of Mexican Nadin and made a full Mexican dinner. Nadin took us shopping and sent us the recipes, but we did all the cooking. Be proud. I spearheaded awesome beef tacos, we're talking Carne Desebrada Adobada. I don't know what that means, but it's basically slow cooked beef in Mexican delicious. I also made the rice and made Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate which is cinnamony and tasty. Genevieve made tostada fixings. Overall I'd say it was a resounding success. The one thing w/ entertaining is, and I'm sure moms would agree, you don't really eat much after all the work you put into it. I don't at least, I get too excited and end up talking all the time.
I think a German dinner might be in order...
