Projection!!!

Today started with Lilu sleeping in which allowed me to sleep in. Oh, how wonderful that was. I miss the days that Chris would get up with Lilu and let me sleep in. *sigh* But today was such a nice gift. We had to get ready for the Newcomer Brunch at church. It was awesome. Kinda worried about how Lilu would behave. But she did good. She sat in her chair and ate the whole time. Loved the fruit. Which she mainly ate. She had a banana, apple, and one and a half peaches. plus two pieces of toast. I had such a good time talking. And having people actually ask about me and my life and be interested. Not asking because they have to but want to. And to learn about other people. Tim and and his wife are an absolute HOOT! They had me in stitches the whole time. I have a tendency to laugh alot. To give you a bit of background-Chris and I went to the movies and although a funny one I thought it was downright hilarious. I couldn't understand why at times I was the only one laughing. Two instances in this movie I was laughing so hard that Chris actually covered my mouth. Which really hurt my feelings.--My brother once told me I had a bellicose laugh.--And at work people would always find me by my laugh. So I was known by my laugh and know that it can get on people's nerves so have tried hard to keep it in check. And I haven't had that much to laugh about lately so it feels so good when I get the chance to laugh. So today at the brunch I got to do a lot of it. And it felt sooo good!! To be with new friends and EAT!! Which was so good. In America they would call it breakfast burritos but my family would call it chorizos. Sooo good.

Then we came home for a nap. It took Lilu about an hour to calm down and relax but once she did she was OUT. I got to talk to Chris for a little bit on the computer. That was nice although trying to figure out how we are going to visit family while he is here put a wrinkle in it. After that I put on Donnie Darko. First time to see this. Heard alot about it. Mainly that it is a cult film now. So I got comfy in my big red chair and turned it on. Although I like movies that are weird I felt like I was missing a big clue. But even with the missing clue it was good. Would like to hear the director's comments. They usually shed light on the weird stuff. I think I actually fell asleep during a part of it. It finished around 4pm in which Lilu woke up. Nice timing. I had to be at the church at 430p and didn't think I was going to make it. Trying not to dwell on the fact that I was going to be doing the projection tonight. ARGH!!!

We finally got ready at 430p so we arrived at 510p. Brought Lilu with me to the church and as soon as we got in she starts dancing to the band rehearsing. So cute!! I was hoping she wouldn't run around while I was learning the setup. She did SO GOOD. She stood by my side the whole time. And when the band started to really sing a song she wanted in my lap to watch and dance. So sweet. Then I had to drop her off at the Nursery and at first she didn't want to go. Thought we were just leaving and she didn't want to. When I told her she was going to play she says 'Play? Play?'. I drop her off and she just fits right in. I am sooo happy she has others to play with. And it is a small enough group for her to know everyone. I love that. Got back to the church and started the countdown for the encounter. It felt like the countdown was MY own personal countdown to start working. You talk about butterflies!! My stomach was flip flopping like crazy. But I had Jon right next to me so I knew if anything was to go awry he would be there. And he cracked me up enough to let some of the butterflies go. But I did have so much fun doing it. Reminded me of when I was in Technical Theatre in Highschool. Those were my favorite memories. Everything else of highschool was just not good. But having this job tonight made me feel so connected. I miss working. Having a real job. Although I love parenting and feel so blessed to be able to stay at home for her. I have the desire to work. To actually DO something. And this projection job and doing the nursery will help with fullfilling that desire. Oh, and was offered to be on the Missions Commitee. How much fun!!! So I couldn't have had a better weekend other than if Chris were here with me! So thank you God for blessing us so much. So many wonderful people have been put in my life!! I could gush and gush about it. Thank you Katy for being you. Thank you Jon and Cindy for backing me up. And thank you Chris for praying for me. I am so Blessed. Sweet dreams everybody!
