Final Preparations

The past couple of weeks I have been pretty stressed and worried about our upcoming performance of The Music Man. I don't know if it's just been a long time, or if it's different now that I am not in High School with all the support of my buddies, but I think it has mostly been the pressure I have been putting on myself to not let everyone who has worked so hard on this down. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH NO PRESSURE THERE!! I truly need to chill out. At this point I am just ready to get it started so that it will eventually be finished. It has been fun and everyone has been wonderful, but I miss my family. I hate the feeling of not wanting to leave them and yet still having to be gone from them every night. Mike has been such a great husband and father, holding down the fort, but it's time for my kids to have a mommy and a daddy again. :) At this point the thing I am most concerned about is not getting sick. Emma has come down with a really nasty cold and I am just dreading the thought of getting sick and not being able to sing. Any prayers you could send my way would be greatly appreciated. So the countdown begins. Only 5 more days until opening night. We are also so grateful to those who are sacrificing so much to come out here and support. We can't wait to see you.   It should be a fun performance.  Here's a sneak peek.  I am pretty excited about my costumes.  They are beautiful!
