The Actress Is Back!

Every year an acting group comes to Parkersburg to do a play with children from kindergarten to seniors in five short days. They audition Monday and Saturday is the show. When I was in second grade, I tried out for the play "Sleeping Beauty" they were doing. I made it and was Maid Number One. I was so important. I had one line and had the other maids out when it was time to go. Let me tell you, that's some pressure for a second grader! The next year, I made it again in "Treasure Island". I was a towns person and once again had a whole one line. Like I said, I'm an important person when I'm in plays. I do my one lines well! The next two years I tried out for the plays and didn't make it. I decided my acting days were over... My dreams were crushed. Not once, but twice. Sad day..
Our school does a school play every year, and last year I decided not to do it. But I decided this year I would do it seeing it might be my last time (another blog for another day) to do it. I told the teachers straight up I didn't want a speaking part. I'll be on stage and that's about all they were going to get. Well, they betrayed me and gave me guess how many lines? ONE! A whole one! I wanted none! Those teachers.. they're sneaky ones.. "The weather always spoils everything!" That's the line. Crap, I shouldn't have told you.. please come still see the play. I'll sell you tickets. Oh, and my name? "Another Woman". That's it. Don't confuse that with the OTHER woman.
So ladies and gentlemen, this is my return debut to acting in "The Other Wise Man". December 5th at my school. Come and watch me say my one liner wonderfully!

Thanks ;)

Six Months

It has been around six months since I landed in Honduras this past summer. I tell you time flies by, doesn't it? There's not a day that passes by that the people in Honduras don't run through my mind. Whether it's the Garcias, Brayan, Katty or one of the people I met on the side of a mountain. Not one day passes that I don't think and pray for them. I would do anything to be in that country right now. To jump rope with some kids, to go to the pulperia, to watch a movie with the kids, to listen to Fernando say a prayer for the food, to cook french toast for the kids, to hand a woman a bag of food that will feed her family for two weeks, to visit moms with newborn babies at Hospital Escuela, to be with my friends who are full time missionaries, to hug Brayan. I would do anything.

I miss them.

If you need a good laugh..

Crazy Times

I don't know who reads this, but for those two who do, I'm sorry I have been such a bad blogger. Life is crazy busy, and I know it's like that for all of us. So here's some things that are going down.

My best friend went back to Honduras Friday. Sam's mom, Erica and I drove Sam to Columbus Thursday night.. it was sad. :( I miss her a lot. I'm trying to keep myself more busy so I don't think about it.

And why not be more busy than with basketball?? Yes, basketball starts tomorrow. Oh Tomorrow.. We're all praying I don't fall over and have a heart attack to be totally honest. ;) So join in prayer about that! It should be a fun season. I love it.

My family is doing pretty well. Leah and Cory got a black puppy Pomeranian. Her name is Bear. She is the cutest thing alive. So yep, I'm an aunt. Grampy has been in the hospital on and off. Be praying for him, please. We would all appreciate it.

So, that's my life in a nutshell.. I know you guys wanted to be informed.

Much Love
