When I last gave you all an update I was reveling on my recent thoughts about faith and how my faith has grown since beginning my summer job. And that we were still trying to get everything ready to open our first production of My Fair Lady. Well I am happy to say that we have successfully opened the show and are selling out almost every night. Tomorrow we have 2 shows, one matinee, and one evening performance. That's it. Hard to believe we have opened and are getting ready to close the show this quickly. Tomorrow night after the show we will quickly (hopefully) go through strike. We have to get everything down and ready for Monday when we go into technical rehearsals for our next show Boeing, Boeing. That show opens next Thursday. If you are in and around the Charlottesville think about coming to see this show as it will for sure be amazing!
Then later we will open to more shows, but I'll fill you on those a little bit later. The other really exciting thing is that tomorrow my parents arrive. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see them. It's always nice to be able to talk to my parents on the phone every few days, but to see them is really the true treasure. Unfortunately, Carly won't be joining them as she has to be at camp for the rest of the summer and cannot really get away. But that's okay. I know she's having a great time even though I don't get to talk to her much. I'm still excited to see my family this weekend. I learned a long time ago how much I really should be appreciating what my parents tell me and the time I get to spend with them. I remember after my first week with a cabin at Lutheridge calling my parents to tell them I was sorry for anything I may have said or did in middle school to cause them stress. It comes with the age of that child (and I was prepared), but being able to see what a middle schooler finds funny and remembering what I thought was funny was just a great experience. I don't often get to see my parents with the kind of schedule my job has for me (even during the school year). But I know that they love and support me in everything I do. I hope that I cherish every moment with them this weekend and within the next year. Before I know it I will be far away from them and they won't be able to make a quick drive to where I am at the whim of a hat. That I will miss. But until that moment arrives I will remember every experience I have with them.I'll post later about what all happened this weekend and all of the great and I'm sure some of the tearful experiences that are to be had.
