The first show of the year is done! Wow...its been crazy, stressful, and oh so wonderful!
Joe had a great show...he is always such fun to watch. It was fun to see him on stage with his sweet little girlfriend, Tallulah, hanging on his arm. He even had to give her a fake kiss haha. We are always amazed, and we know we are beyond blessed, when we see all the people who make it out to the theatre to see the performances. We are so thankful to everyone. Its always such a fun surprise to see who pops in to see the show.
Nick joined the tech group this year. Now that has been a new experience for us all. He would meet with them twice a month starting in September or October then around show time they meet more often. Show week was crazy. He had to load the truck on Sunday, be at the theatre at 8AM on Monday to unload the truck; they were done by 5PM which meant no school. Tuesday was tech run through. Wednesday was the first dress rehearsal, Thursday was dress with makeup rehearsal, Friday and Saturday shows. The Saturday after the show was the strike. The tech crew had to stay after the show, pack, and load the truck. Nick was exhausted and just wanted to head home. He had a tough time accepting the fact that he had to stay and do this. I hated to leave him when he was upset but it was part of the responsibility he agreed to and I wasn't about to let him walk away from it. He called us after a little while and said they were headed back to CYC's Warehouse so we left to go meet him. Turns out he had a blast! My husband and I helped Nick and the rest of the crew unload the truck then we all headed to Waffle House for something to eat. What a great groups of people. Today at 2 they tech crew met at the warehouse again to put everything in its place and then had a party afterwards. They ate and watched the video from the show. Nick said he had the best time...How I love to hear him say that. I'm sure he didn't interact too much with the others but he loved listening to them and watching them. I pray that he sticks with this and keep on enjoying it; I know that he will find his comfort zone within the group and start interacting and forming friendships.
Now what about Justin...well he just loved the show and would probably do anything to be the president of the January Little Fan Club. He adores this guy! January is in the Senior Company and had a lead role. He was awesome and so much fun to watch. Justin never goes to more than 1 show but just had to so he could see January again. Justin even purchased a picture of January from the memorabilia table. After the show my husband saw January and told him how much Justin liked him and wanted his autograph. January was so surprised. He went outside and when he saw Justin he yelled out to everyone on the crowded city street and said :Hey everyone this is m friend Justin, say hi to him" It was so sweet, Justin had the biggest smile on his face. Justin told January that he bought his picture with the money he got from the tooth fairy.
My boys just make me smile...they are my heart. They are all so different yet each one of them is perfect. I love them so darn much. I can't imagine what my life would be like without them.
As for me...I need to get mas a$$ back on my diet. I have slacked! No excuses here though, I didn't plan well and I made bad choices. I'm looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow. I really want to have a successful February. I have small goals that I've set for myself and I really don't want to screw them up so early in the game haha.
My back has not been great; I'm hoping that with the play being over, stress will be less and that will help easy the tightness in my back. A huge load was lifted Wednesday morning...yes, prayers were answered again. I am so thankful to God for this one particular blessing that is really going to be such a tremendous help to us.
I'm excited about a new small group Bible study we will be doing. It will only be a few ladies...who have been wanting to do something together for a couple of months. I received all of our materials today, now we just have to start meeting and sharing. It's going to be a great experience!
