Angela=Tired

This past weekend was Junior Presentation. We are Junior sponsors. This made for much exhaustion. The weekend included Friday night vespers put on by the Juniors, most of the church service put on by the Juniors and a nice meal, auctioning gift baskets, skit selection, song and banner presentation and marching on Saturday night. Michael and I were mostly involved with the skits and song stuff. What added to our nightmare was that last Wednesday three boys who were in six skits between them were suspended. So we had to find people to fill in, sometimes that person filling in was Michael. I mostly did backstage stuff, pulling the curtain, telling people when to go on and off stage, getting props on and off stage, fixing costumes. That stuff. During the meal I also helped get food back and forth. It was ultra stressful. Pratices every night last week. But it all came off really well. One of the girls' deans told me that it was the best one she'd been to since she's been here (11 years). And we've never done this before! So we felt pretty ecstatic. I hurt all over and am still exhausted, but I feel like now I can do anything.

Michael played a bully in a nerds vs. bullies dance off skit, which was the favorite of many people. He danced to Soldier Boy. If we get a video, I'll post it. It was pretty hilarious.

So that's taken up our lives for the last couple of weeks. And two weeks from today begins spring break. I could use it a little sooner, but I'll take what I can get. We'll be in Nashville, hopefully interviewing and applying for more jobs. No serious bites yet, but we're still praying and hoping. How does one know how to make such a huge decision? I feel like maybe this just won't happen for us. Maybe we're supposed to stay here forever. But that makes me sad, so I'm still trying to keep hope alive.
