Whew! Fiddler has opened! Thank the universal power!! I have been able to rest for the last four days and I feel so much better! Now, I just have three weekends of performances, but my evenings during the week are free. It's absolutely divine spending my nights at home with the dogs and cleaning the fish tank and weeding the back yard and mopping floors and cleaning rugs...and well, all the things that have been neglected for the last couple of months.

So, the show went well and I really adore the cast and crew. No major issues during opening weekend...at least no major train wrecks to speak of. Opening night did have a mild calamity during "To Life" when the ensemble neglected to sing and the orchestra went ahead about 8 measures. They finally came in and we jumped back, but all was fine by the ending. Audiences seem to love the show very much.

My wedding date is set for September 25th. Anne-Marie Trout will be my witness and James is inviting his friend, Linda, to be a witness for him. Rumor has it that his mom, Sunny, and sister, Meghan, will be joining us as well at the County Clerks' office that afternoon. I do plan to video tape the ceremony and will post it on YouTube as soon as I can.

All in all...life is absolutely amazing right now. I'm enjoying my time off with James and can't wait to be Ray Brave-Fisher on the 25th. We're picking up our rings on Saturday this weekend. It is just beyond any words I can find to describe it.

Love is an amazing thing!

Be blessed!
