I'm Giddy

Yes Giddy.

The Hale Center Theatre in Salt Lake has Into the Woods now playing. I LOVE this show.

I first saw it during one of PBS's pledge drives, (yes I watch PBS. stop laughing) and I fell in love with it. The words at the top of my blog Children Will Listen come from a song from this play.

It's WONDERFUL. I even bought it on dvd and made my kids watch it and they now LOVE it as well. I knew that this play has been coming for over a year. I've been looking forward to it, but I wasn't sure if we would be able to afford to take the kids to go and see it. And I didn't think it would be fair for just me and Ty to go and see it. The kids love it just as much as we do.

Well guess what? We now have front row tickets for November!

Pardon me while I get up and do the happy dance from Evan Almighty....

O.k. I'm back. If you haven't heard or seen of Into the Woods I highly recommend it. It's a wonderful, funny, touching play that has just about every fairytale character in it. It also teaches wonderful lessons about life. I love it and can't wait for November.

Back to happy dancing.

My husband the Yogin

I just want to publicly congratulate my husband on his new job. (It's not his full time job it's a second job.) But it's been a dream of his for a while now and I think that it's awesome that he is following his dream, making it a reality.

He's been practicing Yoga now for a few years and has been talking about wanting to become certified to teach and maybe even open his own little Yoga studio someday. He's been saving up money to go and get certified but in the meantime he's taught a few free classes at our church and kept up his own practices. When a friend mentioned that they were looking for a Yoga instructor at the community center and that he should go and apply, at first Ty wasn't so sure because he isn't certified. But he decided that he would put in his application and see what happened.

He got the job. He has be come a Yoga Instructor at our local community center. Way to go Honey! In fact he is there right now getting ready to teach his third class. He has a website that is in my links to the left called Everyday Yoga. You should check it out. (and if you feel like congratulating him yourself in his comments that would be great!)

I've gone to the classes that he's taught at our church and think that he does a great job. His voice is very calm and soothing. I had a hard time staying awake when we did the relaxation portion at the end of class sometimes. He knows and loves Yoga. He's going to do a great job and I hope that we can get the money saved up soon so that he can go and get his certificate.
