Friendships seem to be changing like the leaves, and it's sort of comforting and confusing and brilliantly God, just like the fall. Old friends seem to be forgetting me more and more often, and new(er!) friends are rushing in with arms wide open.
It was a crazy busy weekend. I took care of the concessions stand (with Ben's help!), and we finished up just in time to slip into the theatre and watch the matinee. Good job, kids. I've been to busy stage managing "Another Antigone" to have anything to do with "Broadway Bound", but I was impressed. As always. ;) I got some homework done at the park with Snow, and ushered for Aimee Auclair, house manager extraordinaire, at night. Ben watched some of the show with me, then we went over to Janna's and watched "50 First Dates" with Janna, Crystal, Grant, Andrew and Matt.
Early morning yesterday! Ben was the best one and drove me to Columbus to hang out at Congress with me.. with Cassie, Katie and Deb! I was so excited to see them. I can't wait to go home in TWO DAYS and ride my pony and eat my mom's cooking and hang out at the Ridleys and have a good talk with Gillian and Ashley. We ate apple dumplings, hot dogs, waffle fries, smoothies, brownie de-lites, and went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Deb treated.. so sweet! She was taking her turn at being the 'adult'. It's still nice to be treated like a kid sometimes.
The show made me miss riding so much. I bought some things.. nothing that I can't use out here. I decided that I am going to be AQHA queen two years after I graduate. Connecticut Quarter Horse Association, then.. the world! :) And Katie will be queen for the buckskins. And Cassie gets a crown, too, cause she's super cool.
I am sitting next to Holly Luiken. She has become a regular visitor to our room and it makes me so happy. She gives the best hugs and cuddles with me when I'm upset. We discuss things that probably aren't fit to post and understand each other theologically.
Suzanne, Janna, Krysten, Crystal, Matt, Grant, Sue, Jillian, Cassie, Katie, Deb, and ever-gentle Ben have come through for me hardcore this weekend. And Thursday. :) Whether they knew it or not, they all swooped in at exactly the right moment and surrounded me with their love. Thanks so much, you guys, for supporting me consistently, no matter how tired you are or what else is going on. We're gettin this thing beat. :)
