Today, as the day is approaching an end and Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I just wanted to write down what I am especially thankful for many things today.
Last night my grandmother had a mild heart attack, and so she had my Aunt Gail call 911 and when the Paramedics got there they noticed that her heart was irregular and so they put her on the stretcher and took her to the hospital, but for those of you who know my grandma, you know that she doesn't like to do what others tell her to do, and she kept telling the Paramedics that she didn't give them permission to take her away from her home. She was admitted to the ICU and they were there til she was moved today. Mother called us this morning and asked if Jon would go with dad to the hospital to give her a blessing. And so we hurried and got ready and we went to the hospital to visit grandma.
We got to the hospital and Jon and my dad gave my grandma a blessing. Grandma was hilarious as usual! She said that if she had her shoes and coat she would have snuck out of there. And then she asked for my shoes.
I am so grateful for the fact that my husband and father have the Priesthood. I am so thankful that my sweet husband has the Priesthood and is willing to help out in any way he can. I love having him in my life and I am so thankful that we have each other for the rest of our lives.

Auditions Suck... That is all...
So today was auditions for Clearfield High's Beauty and the Beast, and it totally took me back to my Junior Year when we did that show. The nervous, anxious feeling as I walked into the Little Theatre to Alyn and Mr. Aird and I sang my song the best I could. And then dance auditions and then call backs. I remember how terrified I was to be at those and how nervous I was, because I wanted to be Belle so bad! And I remember how excited I was when Alyn handed me Belle's music to sing at call backs. And then I remember how nervous I was as I went to look at the cast list after it had been posted and I saw my name and it wasn't for Belle, and I was so sad. I had wanted that role so badly and like most girls who had auditioned I had prepared my hardest for it. I will admit, I cried. Yup... not embarrassed about it, I went home and went downstairs into my basement and I cried. I learned a lot from the show and from my experience in it; but I didn't learn the most important lesson about casting until this past year when I had my own directing experience. It doesn't matter how talented a person is, or even how perfect a person would be for a part, if that one person doesn't fit with everyone else who would be perfect for the other parts, a decision has to be made for the show. And as much as it may hurt, and as much as you think that you should have had that part, the most important thing is the show. It always will be. That is part of being in Theatre.
One thing to remember for people who are auditioning, is to BE PREPARED! Ya know that song from Lion King that Scar sings? Yeah... works in real life too. I got a call yesterday to play for an audition THAT DAY! There is no way that I am about to drop everything I am doing to come and play for someone who I know does not prepare because this is not the first time that it has happened from this person. That really bothered me yesterday and even today I'm still kind of annoyed.
Anyway, things are going great for Jon and I. We got so much done! We did laundry, got Jon a haircut, got flowers for Sheri, got paperwork filled out and we went to Ligori's. When I was little and my mother and I would go up on Base we used to pass Ligori's every time and every time I've passed that place I've always wanted to try it! And talk about awesome! I loved it, it was super good. I can't wait to go back again, because I LOVE pizza!! We also went over to Nate's house before he got set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! I cried as I hugged him for the last time. He is going to be such an awesome missionary, and I am so proud of him and his choice to do this. Well, that is all I should write as Jon and I have to write a bunch of papers for school so I will write later!

A little Diddy!
I hate to take away from Brittneys last post, but I would to add a little something here if I could. My sweetheart, Britnney Ann Marie Salazar Mosher, is the most wonderfully addicting individual I have ever had the opportunity of knowing/marrying/working alongside/ being around/ having adventures with ever! I love her so much and I am so blessed to be with such a kind, caring, understanding individual! She loves me even though I am so flawed, she tolerates my occasional potty mouth, my need for technology, and even the occasional boys night or video game playing session! Thats what I wanted to say! oh and we have a pretty chill cat named pantomime that likes to be a creeper!
The Best Veteran
Yesterday was Veteran's Day, and so I would just like to give a shout out to my daddy who served faithfully and willingly in the US Air Force as a Chief Master Sergeant for 32 years.
My daddy is the most amazing person to me. I love him with all my heart and I love the example of hope, strength, courage and love he is to me. When I was two years old, my daddy retired and we moved back to the states from our home in England. My daddy was able to attend every soccer game, piano recital, vocal recital, dance recital, musical, play and anything else that I did in my scholastic career. These were things that he missed out on for my brothers and sisters because of his selfless service in the Air Force. I was truly blessed and my daddy always says that God gave him another chance to be a good daddy with me. But little does he realize that he is the best daddy God could have given me and my siblings to. I have such a great appreciation for my siblings for going through their lives whilst my dad was at war, or was away on assignments. I grew up with my daddy always there, being able to fix my boo-boo's, being able to go to Eagles (which is Lowes now... see how old I am?) and get a polish sausage, daddy used to drink Fresca and so I always wanted to drink Fresca, he was able to always fix my toys when they broke and I think most importantly to me, he was always there to give me a Daddy's blessing.
Two weeks before I got married to my best friend, who I chose because I knew that he would make a good daddy, my father had a heart attack and had to have an emergency quadruple by-pass. When my mother texted me telling me that he was in the ER, I broke down. Not my dad. My dad was always strong, and now all of a sudden, he was so close to being gone. It was so hard to be in the ICU and watch him be in so much pain; because all my life he'd been the one to tell me that everything would be ok, and that I would be fine when I got hurt. I tried to be strong like my mother in front of everyone, but at night I would cry. And then after all was done, and he was home the day of my wedding came. And I went upstairs and I got a Father's Blessing from my wonderful Daddy. As amazing as everything was that day, the two highlights of the day were 1) getting married to my sweetheart and being sealed together for time and all eternity, and 2) getting a Father's blessing and having him be a witness at my marriage.
My dad has been all over the world, and he's brought me presents from wherever he's been, and he tells me stories about his adventures in far off lands. But the best part about his stories is that he survived his stories and he survived his adventures and he is right there with me to tell me about them later. He is the best Veteran to me mainly because he's my daddy... and he's awesome.
