The Carriage House Summer Begins

Alright folks,

After a couple weeks, I'm starting to get all settled in here in Cardston. So far I'm really enjoying it.

The town is small, but not tiny, and it kind of feels like home. Its about 95% LDS and it reminds me a lot of Kaysville/Farmington area. Its a bit smaller, but it has the same feel. Overall, its a nice cozy little town. And the weather has been really nice as well.

The Shows are coming along, and its exciting. The one I've done the most work on so far is All Shook Up, and folks, it is hysterical! Its going to be a really fun show. Playing the roustabout is posing to be quite a stretch for me. But in a good way. :)

Annie is... well, Annie. As stupid and Corny as ever, but pretty low stress, and lots of fun. The little girl who plays Annie is so adorable that the stupidity of the script doesn't even matter.

As far as Les Mis goes, it feels like we haven't rehearsed it very much... but we did a read/sing through with the cast and it was pretty Amazing!

I love my roommates. We have been hard at work at the Zemps Gym every morning. Everyone is clean, and everyone is really chill. So overall our apartment is quiet, clean, and chill. Perfectamundo!

When we are not in rehearsal we like to play as a cast. The people I work with are awesome! One of our first adventures was to go to a beach at one of the lakes near by. We didn't really know where we were going, and we tried just winging it, but we ended up trudging through a bunch of fields in order to get close enough to the water to play... and then the beach was really muddy! haha. Also, it was super windy... so our day at the beach was kind of a fail, but it was an adventure, and now we know what NOT to do next time.

The Mud was actually clay and it stuck to our feet like super glue.... it was impossible. haha

Then on Saturday we went as a cast to Calgary, and it was so much fun. On Friday night Darren, Devin, Brian, and I decided that we would go up to Calgary to go to the Zoo. Originally the girls were not going to come with, but once they heard we were going to the Zoo they decided they wanted to come. We left early on Saturday morning, and the girls met us at the Chinook Mall, and then we went to get food at Moxie's.

Brian, Me, Darren, Devin (We all live in the same apartment) and Janae, Sydnee, Jordan, and Michelle.

While we were eating, the Ladies decided that they would rather shop all day, so the four of us guys ended up going to the Zoo alone. It was all good though. Bro time. haha.

I think the highlight of the day was the cougars that were "cuddling." It was hysterical. Oh nature...haha

Anyway, overall things are going really well. I'm loving it. And, I'm making a promise that I will post at least once a week.... we'll see about that. :)

Peace and Blessings from Cardston.
