8.2.02 – shiny happy people

happy news all around. hannah, my super-cool roommate/co-worker from Buffalo and Boise, got a job working at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival! she rules. now i will have a happy, hippy, theatre town to go hang out in when i’m unemployed next winter. go hannah.

and callie is getting married in six weeks! and the theatre i’ll be working for gave me the weekend off to be in the wedding! getting six bridesmaids to agree on dresses, via email, is not an easy task. but at least we’ve moved on from “orange/fall-themed fall sundresses” to something in garnet and satin that i’ll probably never be able to wear again but will be much easier to purchase. kudos to callie, who is dealing with grad school proposals, a new house, a new puppy, younger siblings who have decided to move in, and somehow still manages to send out wedding invites. remind me to elope, when the time comes.

and mari is coming to visit soon! in her wonderfully-wise-mari-way, she writes,

you realize sometimes how love can light someone up, happy little chinese lanterns.

i can’t think of a better way to phrase it.
