Bridal Shower

Hello September!!!  I can't believe you are here already!  The summer flew by with loads of fun activities, and the best activity is yet to come: our wedding!  A lot of time has been spent planning and crafting, and the big day is drawing closer.  A few snafus have come and gone, but we've never lost sight of the fact that at the end of the day, on September 27, we will be husband and wife.  

In August, my mama and sister put together a beautiful wedding shower.  It was overwhelming (in a good way!) to be surrounded by so many amazing women, many of whom have had such a large impact in our lives.  We are so grateful to know you, and look forward to many more years surrounded by loved ones.

Life Lately

Hello!  Things have been hectic around here with Henry IV opening and all the wedding planning (3 months to go!).  We've been spending some quality time with loved ones and are having a cake tasting today with my wonderful cousin Kelly, who is making our cakes as a gift.

I am so very proud of my Henry IV cast.  Our final dress rehearsal was rained out, but we persevered on with an intimate gathering at the New Players storage unit space, where we reconnected with each other and found some lovely moments.  Our opening night turned into an official final dress, and then we were rained out in the middle of Act II on Friday and all of Saturday.  I am so looking forward to this Friday's performance: I just know there are so many more wonderful moments to be found with these fantastic people.  Below are a few photos from the last few weeks, if you'd like to see.  Cheers!

Delaware Arts Festival

My brother was in town this past weekend, and so my family and I celebrated with excellent coffee from Something Sweet Coffee & Bakery (the old Mean Bean Cafe) and some quality time at the Delaware Arts Festival.  My mother bought a clay Green Man plaque for her garden, and I savored a corn dog and took lots of photos.  Here are a few, if you'd like to see.

 Always nice to bump into these lovely relatives!

Mmmm...Corn Dogs

Some of the beautiful crafts...

...And some of the people who make them.

How I kept the camera out of the shot I will never know!

The Columbus Arts Festival is coming up soon as well... will you attend?

Scapin Has Opened

Last weekend we opened Scapin, and received a nice review from Columbus Underground.  Tonight, unfortunately, we were rained out (it was an incredible storm!) so Will and I stayed in and watched The Fighter, which we hadn't seen yet.  The heat has been crazy here in Central Ohio, but despite the 100 degree weather yesterday, we entertained a small but mighty audience:)

This weekend we are teching King Lear and performing Scapin.  It's going to be a long weekend, but I'm excited to have both shows on their feet and to see what it's like to perform two shows at once.  I hope you can make it out to the island!

Happy Graduation!

This past Saturday, my brother Sean graduated from Ohio University.  He will be starting a media internship at OU in July, working on directing and editing sports stories for the university.  I am so proud of my little brother, who's talent cannot go unnoticed!

Check out my brother's basketball reel below: he shot and edited all the footage:)

Congratulations Sean!
