Good times

So, I figured I’d be better at blogging once we got internet access at our house…I guess not as I’m still trying to catch up on life. The good news is, however, that Trey and I are making big progress on the apartment. Add in that aside from a session with the director tomorrow evening I’m not actually called to rehearsal until next Wednesday, and that means this weekend should be much better!

Sorry that I keep forgetting my camera and can't take a picture of the bread, so all I’m blogging about today is how happy I’ve been lately. Earlier this year/this spring I was really down, and after I found a job I was still pretty down. Then, the Pirates of Penzance thing worked out and I was singing again. Last night was a particularly good rehearsal for me vocally - I decided to stand the whole time and until then had forgotten what a difference that makes. Still, I felt like a million bucks afterwards.

This morning I got an e-mail from the Music Director at our new church asking if Trey and I would like to do an Offertory anthem over the summer – as a result I’ll be singing an aria from the Messiah at services one Sunday in mid-July. What fun! The fact that I get to sing it twice makes me not even mind that the first service starts at 7:45am. J

I was talking to Trey over the weekend, reflecting on my lack of singing opportunity in Italy and how bad that was for my spirit. Looking back on the experience, having lived through a traumatic few months, and feeling as wonderful as I do now, I guess I didn’t realize just how bad it actually was for me. Hopefully I won’t be forgetting this lesson any time soon.

That’s all for today – I promise I will write Saturday if not before…
