Greetings!

Long time no update. I gained inspiration from Matthew and Emily's recent post, so I am likewise updating you on life.

Let's see, it's been extremely busy this semester. One-act play has been taking up a good deal of time. Our show Captain's and Courage did extremely well and we advanced all the way to Area (meaning we're in the top 25% in the state). Area competition was last night, and we ended up getting third. This means we didn't advance, but we are the alternate play if one of the other schools can't go. We even got a plaque. I'm not sure if you spell a trophy-plaque like this, or if this is the spelling for the plaque on your teeth...hmmm...either way it's amusing.

First Irving is still going swimmingly! I hadn't really been in the past 2 weeks because of Easter and theatre stuff, so today was lovely. Pastor John is beginning a series called the Red Letter Revolution and gave a very challenging word. We're studying Esther in The Road class and did a character study on the main players today. Afterward, the chicks all went to lunch, then some of us went shopping at New York and Company and took advantage of their 50% clearance sale. It rocked! I got a skirt, earrings, and shoes for the low price of $40. Heck yes. Angela, Robin, and I went to Starbucks and chatted afterward before Robin and I head to a goodbye dinner for some friends on praise team. And now, finally, I'm back at my messy apartment and trying to decide whether to lesson plan or clean first. Thus, my day!

Other activities this week:
- Stole a visit with my old roommie Amanda this week when she came to Dallas on a school trip
- Celebrated Jordan's ENGAGEMENT
- Signed up for my Speech/Communications certification test
- Took several much-needed naps

I'll try and update again this week with some funny theatre stories- I've got plenty :)
