So...this is our weekend lately.
From 9-2 on Saturday, it's "our" time. This is the time we have on weekend to do our normal weekend stuff...like bike rides, house cleaning, laundry, yard work, etc. It's been this way for six weeks. From 3-dinner, we rehearse. For example, we rehearsed four scenes yesterday, which included all of us at one point or another. Rehearsals are getting more serious now (Christmas is closer than you think), and we are trying to do the scenes without scripts and with proper lighting and props. Today (even as I type), we are doing the complete Act 2, with stops. That means the director (God bless her soul) interrupts as she sees fit and provides...direction. Also, we have worship in the morning and some kind of thing in the evening (class, home study, etc). The Sunday rehearsals last from 2-4 or 5.
For the record, I am not complaining. I really enjoy this...it's just a pretty big time commitment, and some things slip (like the yard work).
Last Sunday, Emma signed her first song in worship for the deaf members. Very precious. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
It's hard to write a blog entry when I keep interrupting myself to talk to people and look at stuff and glare at the noisy adults while the kids are trying to work their scene (i have a world class glare). But, I persist.
Not much of an entry, I know. But there it is. I promised more about Chad and Brandon last time. I'll do that later this week. Those guys were (and probably still are) the coolest, and took the edge off of a very weird time in my life.
