Young 'uns

What a wonderful couple of days. I am pretty sure that I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Saturday we went to Adam and Meghan's baby shower at Old Chicago's. It was pretty fun. It was a little strange that Brian Jamieson didn't come. (It was a both genders baby shower) He was in a car accident and wasn't supposed to spend too much time in the car. My only question is why did he go to lookout mountain the day before? Anyway, we got Adam and Meghan practical things...diapers, the baby first aid kit, and special q-tips so that they don't poke the baby's brain. Her name is Gracie, and she is due on the 10 of April.

Then we were off to see Stephanie's new addition. John Daniel was born around 11:32ish on March 27th. He was 7lb and 2oz. He is perfect! He is so beautiful. And Addison is being a great big sister so far. I love that whole little family so much! Stephanie is doing well after her c-section, and should have gone home sometime yesterday. I need to call her to make sure that all went well. I can't wait to see Stephanie, Addison, John and Craig again.

Yesterday was just work and mostly boring stuff. Although, I did come home and surprise B with a little outfit I found online. That was fun!

Today, we celebrated Neo and Tayler's birthday. Technically, Talyer's is sometime earlier in the month, but we were busy, and didn't do anything for it. So we got them both done in one shot. It was a lot of fun. Brian was really brave, and brought Tayler into Petsmart, while I held on to Neo. She did awesome. She didn't bite anyone, and even took a treat form one of the employees. Whew! Then we took them to Dairy Queen and got them both a childrens vanilla ice cream cone. That was Tayler's first, and she decided she like them, and was not shy about polishing it off. Neo took a little more time, aware of the power of a brain freeze, but he was really into it too.

Tomorrow, we have our first production meeting for the Fantastiks. And we start rehearsals on Thursday...kind of. It will be a music rehearsal, since we don't have the entire cast. Our first read through will be on Sunday. Sadly, starting the rehearsal on Thursday means that I won't be able to go out with Bonnie and her sister, who is visiting from out of town. Sad, I was looking forward to that. Oh well. C'est la vie!

Didn't I warn you all that I would be bad about this whole blogging thing?

Life has been pretty event filled lately. Or at least, news filled.
Two of my friends are getting married. Kirsten, is getting married in Florida, so I will be heading out there in April. What makes this wedding so interesting is that Kirsten is going to be on one of my favorite tv shows. Bridezillas. I watched that show religiously right before I got married, and I still find it highly amusing. So that will be fun to see how that whole thing works. Also, Keely is going to get married. She met the man of her dreams by leaving me here in Colorado, while she hopped off to Seattle. I miss her very much, but I am extremely happy for her. We should be getting the save the date cards soon. It looks like there is going to be a lot of traveling in my future. (Brian's cousin is also getting married, and we are going out to the east coast for that. We are even going to head up to Niagara Falls. Woo Hoo)

I am enjoying the beauty of 1.5 snow days. I say that because I did actually drive down to work yesterday, but they sent me home early. I have been lazy, but Brian has been out shoveling, and riding the trainer, and all that active kind of stuff.
Also, I should be starting rehearsal for the show

The Fantasticks, and day now. Last I heard, we were waiting on scripts to come in. Today I just got a text message that we probably won't be starting until April 5. That leaves us a month. To rehearse a musical. Scary.

Now I am watching Cyrus play with some of the toys in his cage, and it is pretty cute. Who knew birds were such awesome pets? He cracks me up.
