Past Year's Resolutions: 2014

What did I accomplish this year?

Every year I ask myself this question and make my retrospective resolutions for the year.  Hindsight is 20/20.  And I think it is much more uplifting to reflect and think, "Wow- I did that!" than to think, "I didn't meet two of my ten goals.  I'm a failure."  Know what I'm saying?

In no particular order:

1. Stay married!  Apparently this is a pretty big deal.
2. Visit NYC for 2 weeks, seeing 16 shows (My favorite was Beautiful, thanks for asking)
3. Be on David Letterman.  For real.  Here's the story and video.
4. Buy a new new car.  2014 Honda Civic EX.  Probably never going to happen again in my life. 
5. Choreograph Hairspray for Taylorsville Arts
6. Choreograph Broadway My Way for Taylorsville Arts
7. Choreograph for Murray elementary schools
8. Perform as Vi Moore in Sandy Arts Guild's Footloose - I guess I play adults now?
9. Perform in a dream show Marvelous Wonderettes for Sandy Arts Guild as Betty Jean Reynolds - Wait, I'm 18 again?  
10. Audition for my first show at Hale Centre Theatre and get called back!  
11. See Frankie Valli perform live at Niagra Falls - that's one off my bucket list
12. Increase my husband's business, Life of the Party Entertainment, another 20%, meaning his business has doubled since I began working with him 
13. Maintain my six-times weekly dates with Gym
14. Be in a movie - Don Verdean.  I was just an extra, but we are seeing the final product at Sundance Film Festival Saturday
15. Win "best couple that never actually hooked up" in the costume contest at Pepper Nix's Halloween Spooktacular for our "A League of Their Own" costumes, we've been trying to win for three years
16. Become a redhead (for a show, but I kept it).
17. Get braces, a wish in the making for 17 years
18. Visit Rochester, Niagra Falls, Ohio, NYC, Moab, Las Vegas (twice), Phoenix, Shakespeare Festival, Goblin Valley
19. Throw the greatest "A Christmas Story" party (creatively speaking) yet
20. Read the Fablehaven and Under the Never Sky series
21. Finish watching Twin Peaks, How I Met Your Mother, The Carrie Diaries (don't judge), Sherlock, and Breaking Bad
22. Continue helping beautiful brides plan and implement their weddings
23. Continue helping with The Cultural Hall Show Podcast

The Proposal

Who wants to watch a video of Rob's proposal to me?!

No one has been waiting for the details, have they?

This video has some edits to go through yet, so keep holding your breath!  To give you a little relief until then, fast forward to the 7:30 mark and be sure to watch until the end:-)

Engaged!

I am engaged!

Details forthcoming.

Back to the Future

My Partner-in-Crime had a birthday this past weekend. 

He's also one of the top DJs by which I've ever been entertained (I'm seriously not just saying that).  Shout out to his company and group of DJs - Life of the Party Entertainment.  If you need a DJ for a Mitzvah, Corporate Party, Wedding, Assembly, or any other event requiring entertainment, contact him here.

Back to the point.  What does a DJ do on his birthday?  Naturally, work an event that happens to be an awesome 80s Prom for adults.  You heard me right.  Those people knew how to party and danced well past the set witching hour. 

Because I kind of adore him a wee bit, I agreed to be his lovely assistant for the evening.  Only neither of us ever arrived, as we were time-warped back to 1985 and people kept calling us Marty and Jennifer.
