Nutcracker

What a weekend! Saturday Jess came over for brunch and the two of us drove up to Ft. Wayne to meet up with Susan and Mama Jevert. While walking into the mall to meet them I hear "Becky!". Amy was running up behind me! Fancy running into her at a mall I've never been to an hour away in Ft. Wayne! The three of us, along with Susan, walked around for a while and caught up amongst the crowds. I realized I quite enjoy living in a much less crowded area. I felt slightly claustrophobic. :P

Afterwards Jess, Susan and I met up with Mama Jevert at Flat Top for a late lunch/early dinner. We spent about two relaxing hours over food and wonderful conversation.

Then we left Mama Jevert in Fort Wayne and drove back to my apartment in Marion. We made a quick change into our dresses for the evening and drove to Marion High School to see the Nutcracker. The Marion Philharmonic Orchestra and Boulder Ballet put on an incredible performance. I hadn't seen the Nutcracker since my early childhood and it was every bit as wonderful as I remembered.

Today I met up with SJ for lunch and grocery shopping. I spent the majority of the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and hanging a few pictures. The DMS photo and quotes are now up in my room and the TAYLOR mat is above the dresser in the office. Today I also purchased a full length mirror (sorry I didn't have it last night, Suz and Jess) and tomorrow I'll pick up the appropriate hardware at Lowe's to hang it in the hallway.

Two more days of intense exam review for my students, three days of exams, entering grades, packing and them I'm home. And then NC. Then PA. Then MI again. Get excited! :)
