Photo dump of my brief break from reality in Italy. Palermo, you did not disappoint. Rome, nice to see you again buddy. Let’s not wait so long between visits next time.

Dad talked about wanting to visit Sicily. Specifically Cammarata where our family was from, and a restaurant in Lercara Friddi owned by distant relatives we had never met. He pulled up the restaurant on Google Earth for me countless times. I’m sad he never got to experience this beautiful place… but I did get to bring a piece of him with me to lunch at @ristorante_burgerialuigi today. 😌

I’m so excited to make my professional musical theater debut as Ado Annie in Oklahoma! with Pensacola Opera today. 🎀 Before I pursued classical training, I was a belter through and through, sang a lot of musical theater, and have always been drawn to comedic characters. I remember seeing Oklahoma! as a kid and thinking, “I wanna be that girl who makes everyone laugh.” Ten years ago I sang “I Cain’t Say No” at a concert in my hometown for the first time, but dreamed of being Ado Annie long before that. I never imagined an opera company would hire me to do this, but I’m so grateful to @pensacolaopera for encouraging me to pursue all sides of my voice and for being my family company. My favorite part of performing is making people laugh, so I’m absolutely thrilled for the chance to bring this fiery character to life. The best part is, I get to act alongside dear friends who I learn from and am inspired by every day. 💜 Costumes by @wardrobewitchery Wigs and Makeup by @makeupwigstress Conductor @jeromeshannon Director @coreymckern 📸 @alex52

Grief is a complicated beast….. We lost dad a year ago today, and there’s moments where it stings like it just happened. Those moments often pop up out of nowhere but it’s usually when I eat something really good and want to call dad and tell him about it. I miss you pops. I’ll eat something good for you today so I can tell you all about it. ❤️

The fun thing about this photo…. Is it wasn’t even mom’s birthday. Someone told the restaurant it was, so out came the sombrero, the band, and a dessert that would end up smashed on her face. Happy Birthday Mom, miss you every day. 💜
