Update in Aspen

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Well, it’s nice to see that in the midst of so much change in my life, some things never change.  I still miss the people I shouldn’t and not all of the people I should.  I suppose it’s getting better though - thanks to all of my loving friends and their grace in my life.

Anywho - time for a very new update.  The big news has been that I am no longer planning an immediate move to LA.  For the moment, it’s been indefinitely postponed because I’ll be singing in the Metropolitan Opera extra chorus next year.  I’ll be singing in 3 operas, including War and Peace, Peter Grimes, and Otello.  For those of you who don’t know about opera, these contracts are a rare opportunity, and I’m looking forward to finally moving to NYC.  I may have even gotten over the fact that I’ll have to suffer through yet another winter in the northeast.  :)

In the meantime, I am SO enjoying Colorado.  I’ve been here for little more than a week, and I’m already booked for 2 concerts and a church job, and I’ve met some GREAT people.  Of course, they’re mostly hanging out on facebook, so may be I’ll start blogging there - who knows?!  The mountains are amazing, the family I live with is kind and generous, and the festival itself is a lot of fun so far. 

Being here puts a lot into perspective - good and bad.  Personally, I think that means I’m in the best place I could be for the summer.  Anyway, that’s my news.  I hope you’re all doing supremely well - you all are truly in my heart here.
