so i went to the wedding. i was a basketcase every time i imagined not being there, and knowing that i'd be missing it for a few backstage jobs for one day that could be covered by some of the amazing peopleim working with, i decided to cover all my bases and hope for the best. i got the final ok on friday night around 11:45 pm, borrowed a dress, packed a bag, tried unsuccessfully to sleep, and left at 5 am that morning. i drove straight to meadville, stopped at perkins to freshen up in the bathroom from the 9 hour drive, called ryan to see where he was (he had no idea that i was on my way to the wedding) and showed up at the church just as they were all getting dressed. he looked at me and waved then turned away, then looked back and just stared, then shook his head and smiled. i have a way of making ridiculous things happen, like getting 500 miles to a wedding without my car or any plan. a paycheck's worth of gas, a car lent by a true friend, and a bag of pretzels later, i was there. i got to meet most of ryan's family, hear his hilarious and sweet best man's toast, dance the night away with him, hang out with his cousins who i've known for years, and drive back to indiana the next morning with him (in two separate cars). im exhausted, i hate roadtrips for at least a month, and i dont want to eat a pretzel ever again, but it was so worth it.
the show im stage managing starts tech this week. that means goes into dress rehearsals and all the stuff that the stage manager is in charge of. im excited for that.
one of my roommates got engaged this weekend. we saw it coming, but it's nice to know it's finally here and i cant wait to experience the next year with her.
tomorrow's my day off. im going to sleep in.
