1984 at @ThePlayhouseLDN is easily in my top ten shows ever. Amazingly relevant and challenging adaptation. Take this thing on a world tour!

15. Christmas in Texas
Of course not every moment of 2015 was amazing. I may be putting rose-colored glasses on it saying it, but I'll call it my bittersweet memory of '15:
Leaving London.
The longing to be back wandering through Covent Garden, lazing in the sun room on campus, catching a last minute show in Piccadilly - it's all very strong. But while I wish for the past sometimes, I am excited for the future almost all of the times. So without further ado,
16 Things I'm Excited for in 2016
1. Being able to say I survived my first NYC winter
2. Exciting Barrington Collective announcement #1
3. Exciting Barrington Collective announcement #2
4. Showing my parents around the city
5. Seeing all of the amazing theatre (that I can afford) and maybe some of the bad
6. A wonderful day job nannying two adorable kids with seriously awesome parents
7. Growing in community and faith with my new Redeemer family
8. Experiencing a New York Spring
9. Writing more
10. Traveling (probably not to as exotic of locales as last year, but I've got lots of frequent flyer miles to burn)
11. Being a bridesmaid in my sweet sorority sister Victoria's wedding (#sidebysides624)
12. Turning 29
13. Celebrating Baylor continuing to be good at football (still can't believe this)
14. Developing and settling into an artistic routine
15. Christmas in Texas (never mess with a classic)
16. I don't know...surprise me.
To Auld Lang Syne,
(And yes, I know I need to change the title bar up top. New York is keeping me way too engaged for these things.)
