Spring is Bustin' Out all Over

Thank god spring has finally sprung!

The winter has been a particularly challenging one on me emotionally, mentally and physically.  I'm glad that it is nearly the middle of March.

My life has been pretty much non-stop since November.  I thought I might get to take a little bit of a break in November and early December.  However, this did not happen.

I jumped right into the Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged] at Stage 9 on December 5 and am just now wrapping up that production (three more performances left as of tonight).  For those of you who don't know, the show was originally suppose to open February 3 and close on February 14.  However, one of the actors broke his wrist the Thursday evening before production week.  Fortunately, the break wasn't bad but it did cause us to post-pone the production until March 3rd.  I've included a picture of the show.

In addition to Complete Works, I was also in charge of sound and lighting design for our 100th Anniversary production of Trojan Women.  Between these two production, I was crazy busy.  I've included some pictures from the production as well.

Finally, to add to my slow lifestyle, I started a part-time job at the Cosmosphere.  I'm working under the Vice President for Marketing and Development as her Marketing/Development Assistant.  This position started out at 30 hours/week and quickly reduced to 25 and to our current amount of 20 hours.  I'm working 9 to 3 pm Tuesday-Thursday.  This seems like a managable commitment.  The previous arrangement was not.

Life is crazy but it is good.  I suppose that's about anyone can ask for.  Love to all.

Chris and Theresa's Update

Theresa and I are still making wedding plans, and still working at the Cosmosphere. That pretty much sums up our life. Work has been a little complicated since Theresa got injured running a simulator, which has limited her hours.

We're working our way through the summons process, with Father's help. Apparently Hutch Regional has problems issuing bills to you, and then, since you're not paying those bills, they eventually have a law firm summon you to court.

Our wedding plans are coming along—if you have any sewing ability, be looking for an invite to make throw pillows this summer—and we even asked Caleb Crainer to officiate for us. Unfortunately, he's out of the country at the time, so now we've got (also engaged) friends from Los Angeles coming down to officiate and witness when we elope to Santa Barbara. We'll be holding receptions in Kansas and Colorado in the last couple weeks of August.

We missed the last photo posting, so instead, here's a video of something we like: Viggen, our owl coffee cup. Mostly we just like the coffee, but still.

Treasures Found Again!

I was cleaning out my hutch for some remodeling we are getting ready to do and found my Precious Moments Dolls.  These are only a few but I really do like them! :)  I look forward to sharing them some day with the granddaughters.  

Things I like:  Embroidery thread all neat and organized.

 My yard "bucket"

Something Tim likes:  COFFEE  and snow - but no pictures for that!
