I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. I know that I am one who does not easily keep up with things like blogs and journals, but I love to write (and reading what I write, and hearing what other people say about what I write) so I always start these things and do my best to keep them going. I try not to chastise myself too much when I don't keep up with them the way that I believe I should.
Anyway, so much has happened since April that has kept me from the blog, yet so much of it made me happy and would have been worth at least a short entry. In May, I and two other amazing women produced our school's second annual dinner theater. In just one year the production grew from 20 cast members to 40 and from 1 night to 2. It was incredible to watch the students grow - their friendships, their self-confidence, their joy. It makes all of the tears, turmoil and tense moments worth and, in the end, makes me overwhelmingly happy.
And then, in June, my husband and I bought our first house together. He had had his own house, purchased at the ripe old age of 23, in which we lived together after our marriage. (Okay, and maybe a year or two before that.) Finally, though we found one that could be ours. Albeit, it's on the side of town I prefer, in a neighborhood of my choosing, on a piece of property he would never have chosen had it been solely his choice, but I love it. We've been slowly putting things together and having friends over one or two at a time. It's an amazing feeling to wake up in a house that you know you had a hand in choosing and financing. It makes me so happy.
