I read somewhere that the life you live today can be traced to 5 events. There might just be some truth to that. I am going to see if I can do it over the next 5 days. Now, I want to start by saying that these are in NO particular order as meeting my husband is clearly the event that had the greatest impact on my life.
Event #1 starts back in 2009 when I first became involved with the Queen Creek Performing Arts. Jake had expressed interest in theater. Michelle Hufford and I decided to have Jake and Noelle audition for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Little did we know you needed to schedule an audition - we were there for hours. Michelle- I do not know if you remember how excited we were when we found ring pops at the bottom of my purse! Needless to say- Noelle made the cast, Jake did not. Well, we went back the next year and Jake was cast as a lead in "Brother's Grimm". I was hooked again. I had not been actively involved in theater for 12 years. The last show I had done was "Anything Goes" with MCC when I was pregnant with Caitlin. Following "Brother's Grimm" were dance rehearsals for "Hairspray". I went with the intention of helping Jake but before I knew it I was auditioning myself and my life back in the theater began again!!!!
The "event" though was not the show or even shows that followed but rather the friendship that sparked with Molly Jacobs. During "Hairspray" we quickly learned we had a kindred spirit. We have been close ever since. Our friendship has taught me a lot about myself and given my life experiences I would not trade for the world. Her friendship has lead to many other treasured relationships in my life and the experiences we have had together have changed me- all for the better. Wait- isn't that a line from a broadway show???? Name that song!
