Earlier This Month...
Ahh! I can’t believe it’s been this long since I’ve written. I haven’t forgotten this blog. I’ve just been... distracted... with things... Like going on dates. I KNOW! I didn’t know I dated either.;) I still don’t really have anything to report in the romance department. I’ve just been eating out rather more frequently and seeing lots of plays. But I won’t go into those details.
I will tell you about the play that we went to see in Indianapolis though. J and E are now in Indiana and we all (with the exception of Boo who is at school) met up with our Indiana relatives. Uncle Jeff got us tickets to, “The Heavens are Hung in Black.” The play centers on Abraham Lincoln in the middle of the Civil War and his struggle to keep the Union together while dealing with the loss of one of his sons. We all enjoyed the play and since it was opening night we got to walk up on stage and look at the props and examine the mechanics of the stage. Pretty cool stuff. I've always thought that I would enjoy working behind the scenes of a movie or play production. There is just so much that goes on to make a production work.
We went out to eat together after the play where one of our main topics of conversation was this book, http://www.thecandybombers.com It's an incredibly touching and inspiring story. Daddy heard the author speak while at a conference where he was honored as the “Kentucky Middle School Social Studies Teacher of the Year.” He got a paperweight. We are very proud (of him).
Mogie, Daddy, and I drove up to see J and E the day after the play. We helped them unpack in their new little house and admired their enourmous garage. We ate Mexican for lunch and drove around Muncy in an attempt to find the Ball State campus. Eventually we did find the main drag and even drove by the archetecture building where J will be taking many of his classes. It looks like a nice school and J and E are feeling very welcomed by their neighbors. Hopefully they will be down for a visit before too long.
Last week I got an e-mail from Campbellsville informing me that I don't have to take the GRE because my undergrad GPA was over 3.0. That is thrilling news. I also learned that the major I am interested in is offered at their Louisville campus which means I will only have a 50 minute commute! I’m really happy about that.
I have much more to tell and will tell it soon!
