After all the craziness and blood, sweat, and tears in rehearsal (no exaggeration) it's nice to come home after a long day to a cozy home and family. Tonight I asked if we could spend some extra time together with my host family by watching "The Lion King", my all time Disney favorite. To my surprise, the boys who are 7 and 9 have yet to see it until tonight. Shocking face. The whole time while watching the movie I just kept thinking how grateful I am to be doing this. I mean to a) be in South Africa b) interning with a world renown dance company JazzArt Dance Theatre c) be hosted by the most caring and warming family who really makes me feel like I'm at home d) this popcorn I'm shoving into my mouth and hot cocoa I'm pouring down my throat and e) the list can go on and on. Tonight was just a reminder for me that I one day really yearn for a family of my own with someone who I truly care about. Even after the craziest of days at work, coming home to a house full of love is such a rewarding feeling.
