Happy February! It's been a little bit since I've posted... here's why:
1. Out of town. I always forget how busy the beginning of the year can be. I was in NYC for part of January and am currently in Las Vegas for our annual company conference...which is why I'm blogging at 11:30pm cause days in LV are LONG.
2. Out of time. Truth. Mr. A and I have been running around so much, any extra time has been spent just trying to connect with each other. He's been slammed between teaching and his big gig working the SuperBowl last week so when we have downtime, we're trying to just focus on us.
3. Out of words. Ok, that's not completely true, as I ALWAYS can find something to say. But in terms of adoption, since we're in this waiting period, there hasn't been that much to share. Our profile is getting a healthy amount of views which is encouraging, and we continue to look at the nursery and do small updates. But generally, things have been quiet...
I do have one piece of really exciting news- especially for our hometown Georgia friends! Our theatre, Theatre Macon has graciously agreed to have me back for a one night only performance on Saturday, March 18th! I'll be bringing some special friends and all proceeds will go to assist in our adoption costs... we are still trying to save/raise about $10-15K and we can't wait to use this night as a celebration with our friends and family! So, if you are in the Macon area, mark your calendars!
And that announcement brings me to the story-time portion of this blog. Thinking about the theatre also has me thinking about my hubs as that's where we met 10 years ago! So, in the spirit of the upcoming Valentine's Day, I thought I would share a story about Mr. A....
I first saw Mr. A in October of 2006 when he stepped on the stage of Theatre Macon to audition for the show South Pacific. I was signed on to choreograph and at the time had not planned on auditioning as I was also slated to direct a youth production of Oklahoma that would overlap slightly and I was pretty worn out from the mega summer show we had just done. I was not paying attention really, but when a deep voice introduced himself and his song I immediately looked up and there was this handsome guy just singing his heart out. I've always thought from the beginning that Mr. A was the prettier one of our relationship and Day 1 was no exception. Blond hair, blue eyes, strong build- yummy! I figured out right away that this was someone I wanted to get to know better. It wasn't love at first sight, but there was an immediate kinship as we struck up a conversation after the audition was over. Next thing you know, I asked the director if I could audition and we were cast opposite each other as the comedic leads. And that was the beginning of the happily ever after that is our life.
I've always loved sharing the story of how we met, as it's so unique and different. It's one of those stories that never gets old and I am so grateful for that day! 10 years later, 7 years of marriage and a child on the way, he's still that cute blond guy who makes me smile just by walking in the room.
Happy February folks, Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks for continuing to support us and be a part of our story! I can't wait to see you Georgia people on March 18th!
