Four Days

Okay, so Hello! This weekend was amazing (weather wise) and I didn't get a chance to update until now. I'm so sorry!! It was in the 60s in Duluth for the first time since early October.. I had to go out and enjoy!

Four days until: my storytelling reading!!!


OKay, so if you don't remember, you should scroll back a few posts and find where I described the project, because it has consumed my life for the past few weeks. I am so excited for the reading! We'll be sitting up in a row with our partners and then reading four pages from the piece. The attendees will each have a copy of the book, and it's just.. really cool to see everything coming together!

At first, when I realized the reading was on a Thursday, I was kinda bummed. I knew I couldn't expect my parents to get the time off to drive up for it, and Sarah would be out of town. Basically, I knew the three people who I'd most expect to be able to come wouldn't be able to be there. Kayla was so sweet and offered to come, but her last final conflicts with the reading. When I say people I'd expect, I didn't include her because it's a 5 hour drive from Marquette. I would have been so happy had she been able to come!

Skyping with my loving JT, who was raving about the new application he has for his work where they put the schedule up, they can ask for days off, swap shifts, etc. It was the day before he could no longer request the day, so he did!! These past few weeks, I've been trying not to get too excited, knowing that they're a little short staffed, so getting days off is hard. I also didn't want to be upset with him if he couldn't make it, especially if it was work related, because it was out of his hands.

I have waited impatiently for the past few weeks, convincing myself he can't come because it'd be easier than being upset if he really couldn't come... tonight he texted me.. "I'll see you Thursday!"

I gasped. I cried. I am so happy. Not only will I have my amazing boy to share this reading with, but I also get to see my boy!!!

Always,
