Big Reveal Coming...

So...I have some news.  And I will admit, the resurgence of the blog does have an ulterior motive.  It's my hope that this can not only serve as a catch up, but also a way to communicate and share the journey Mr. A and I are about to embark on.

 But, before you hear the big news (coming in approximately 2 more posts I promise), allow me a couple of posts for proper set up and anticipation-building.

I was in Las Vegas on a business trip this week and happened to see one of my favorite Broadway stars hanging out in the bar of the hotel.  Of course I fan-girled out, and immediately went to tell my co-workers about it.  Their first response was, "Who and why do you care?"  See, in my current life, not a lot of people know about my love for theatre because they see a corporate person, super business-like and kind of a workaholic.  It got me thinking about the many lives of Katy- who was I and who am I now?  Here I am, at the tail end of my 30's and I'm still working so hard to find some balance between ALL of who I am.  Let me break it down for you:

5 Year Old Katy:
Best Known for:  Being an annoying big sister and the center of attention
Memories include: Being chosen for the "Promises" chorus at 1st Baptist Church, Playing the Dutch girl in the "Small World" Kindergarten production, beginner ballerina

Just going back a couple of 5 year periods, there are some major changes that have happened.  No more theatre (crying on the inside), more adult-type activities like marriage, the joys of yardwork, home improvement and savings plans and as much fun as it was to freak out a little by a star sighting last week, I couldn't be happier with the place I'm in today-- although I am excited to share with you in just a few posts where we're headed :)

Get excited!  Something's Coming Soon!
