Weeks seem to be coming fast and furious right now. This week didn’t start out great but fortunately got better.
The end of the week we got to see Lilly and the talented kids in the RHS theater department perform and shine in Mama Mia. It was so fun. Lilly did so well. It was the perfect role for her. Her and the guy cast as her opposite had great chemistry on stage and the funnest part of the play. She seemed so old and grown up, which was amazing, sobering and almost tear inducing all at the same time. I have a whole bunch of illegal pictures of her scenes. If I find a video of her performing I’ll link it in here somewhere.
Monday I found out a family friend passed away on Sunday evening. Janene and I had planned to visit her Monday. It was a hard learning experience. My aunt had called me Saturday to tell me that her husband posted on her Facebook page that she only had days left to live. I had the distinct thought that I should do whatever I could to go visit her that day. It had been a bad night with Evelyn and there was a lot going on so I pushed the thought away. It was not the right decision to make. :(
I also got to deal with poor communication on my part and personality conflicts with people and planning a Relief Society activity that is different than what has been done in the past for Christmas. I feel like I am on a giant learning curve and that looks like a half pike on a ninja warrior course. I am struggling to get up the steep pitch and get a grip on the landing, let alone pull myself up on to the landing. It will all work out.
On the better side of things Beth went to a cookie party at a class mates house. The classmate’s grandma was there and happened to be a good friend of my mom’s. There was also another mom there that went to school with my sisters. It was fun to find all those connections.
Lucy’s new volleyball coach for her team mates discount tickets to a Utah volleyball game. She had to wear her club volleyball gear to get the discount. Lucy thought she was funny because under her club hoodie she had a BYU volleyball shirt. :)
I really appreciated all the neighbors, family and friends that supported her.
The other kids were so supportive. We had only planned to see the okay once as a family but everyone ended up going back Monday for closing night. It was that fun. Daryl had a classic quote about Lilly’s kissing scene. He said, “ It was less like a kiss and more like a seizure.”
