Happy Anniversary, Baby

Today I celebrate my marriage.

Fourteen years...

I celebrate a husband who is

patient.

Kind.

Hard-working.

I celebrate this man who listens when I cry.
Who hears what I mean and not what I say.
Who loves me in the midst of all my ups and downs.

I celebrate a marriage of two friends who still like each other very much.
Who laugh together uproariously.
Who love discovering the subtle nuances of a life well-lived together.

I celebrate morning breath and grey hair and baldness.

I celebrate snuggling and sex and welcome home kisses.

I celebrate creating a home together.

I celebrate goals accomplished and dreams fulfilled and hope for our future.

I celebrate our history - our first apartment, the places we've lived, the friends we've made.

I celebrate this man, who fourteen years ago took my hands in his, and promised to be with me for as long as we both shall live.

It's all been good.
Real good.

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
