a week has come and gone.

last night was the final performance of "Jane Eyre."
we took down the set, put props and costumes away, set up the pit platform, and picked up the spike tape.
around 1:30, we headed over to Tradewinds and Ian and Jon got to know the caffeinated and sleep-deprived version of me. the one who puts spike tape on her face and goes through phases of energy. one minute I was laughing way too loudly, and the next I was silent. the next minute we were talking seriously about literature. so great. probably the best after-show meal I've had.
it was a great run. I'm incredibly proud to have been a part of this production.

as much as I complained about the story line, the story of the show and the message that rang in my heart as Asha's voice rang through the auditorium is one of forgiveness. I'm not sure that I would have been able to forgive Edward, but I love that Jane can. And I know that that kind of forgiveness is what we are called to as Christians. So, I guess I should try to offer as much grace as I am given every day.

it was so great to see my parents on Friday.
we went out to lunch at Famous Dave's and did some shopping at Super Target.
Dad turned in one of my essays for World Lit, and Mama and I went shopping again.
I really miss shopping with my mom.
I really miss my parents in general.

right before I saw my parents, I got the Save The Date card for my brother's wedding.
oh. my. word. I was SO excited!!!!
I can't wait. I LOVE weddings, and this one has been a long time coming.

and now I sit in The Acorn. not my usual writing location, but SG is closed on Sundays and I just can't do anything productive in my room.
