It's late...
Well, I can't sleep, so I figured I would update.
I just got back from the beach with my family, Becky, and Tim and Lisa. It was fantastic. I swam constantly, tanned, read, played hearts, and just in general, had fun. I also got a tatoo. A little butterfly on my right shoulder (pictures on facebook!) and I love it. It was the first summer in a lonnng time I actually wore a bikini.... it was a little awkward, but I was proud of myself for actually working up the courage to step out of the room wearing it. But I digress. Long story short, the beach rocked pretty hardcore.
Noises Off was STRESSFUL. The set was a bitch to put up, and we didn't have enough time rehearsing on the set, causing tempers to run hot. I was glad that I was able to keep my cool and play the diplomat most of the time, and things, though not always smoothly, ran. To top things off our Selsdon hurt his hand in a car accident and Faw had to step in with 2 rehearsals. Amazingly, it went off without a hitch. I bow to you, Oh mighty mighty Fawbert. Although I was glad to see an end to the stress, I miss seeing some of these people everyday. Another day, another show.
The camp starts up soon. It should be fun to get back to teaching some. I miss that. I loved that I was the reason some of the kids at pinecrest wanted to stick with it. I loved watching them improve and knowing I had a hand in it. Hopefully, I'm not a bad teacher. Camp starts God-awful early in the morning, but It's at Pinecrest this year, which means less ghetto rigging and less equipment hauling. Awesome. It's gonna be a whole lot of fun, but a whole lot of HOT. I wish there was air conditioning at Pinecrest.
My mom has really gotten into this wedding thing. She doesn't seem to know or care that there are almost 2 whole years separating us from it. She bought 2 wedding magazines and is talking about all these plans. Best to humor her and let her go with it, I suppose. It is kind of exciting, although no real planning can be done for a while. We've set the date, so now its just about waiting a little while to really get the ball rolling. I know there are skeptics out there who think this is just a whim, or a immature, uninformed decision made by two kids, that neither of us know what we are getting into, that we are two young, etc. I am asking those people to think about the kind of person I am. I am thoughtful, reasonably intelligent (for the most part), and, by and large, practical. I know EXACTLY how big a decision this is and EXACTLY how hard making it work is going to be, and so does Dustin. To those of you who have seen me with him - you know how happy he makes me. I love him, more than I ever thought it was possible for a human being to love. He makes me a better person just by existing. He can laugh at me when I'm being ridiculous and gently point out to me when I'm being less than smart about something and help me to see my way through things. With him I am safe, and happy, and content to just....be. I know we have known each other a relatively short time, but i assure, we know each other through and through. We know we need time to grow, and save some money, and prepare, so we are waiting 2 years. We know what we are doing. Please, find it in your hearts to be supportive if you're doubting.
Oh gosh, what else. Hannah is growing up so fast!!! I'm thinking I'm going to make a picture of her my icon. She is the most adorable little girl in the world, and I love her so much, its amazes me. I love that some of my qualities are rubbing off on her. I love that she runs to me when she's upset. I love everything, every moment. Even her stubborn streak, which, let me tell you, is substantial :-).
K, starting to get sleepy now, so this is gonna have to be it for now. Goodnight/Good Morning!!!!
