It is Saturday night and Jack is in bed. Dad is at his improv show ( more about that in a second). It's just you and me hanging out and you are smiling and cooing at me. I just wanted to tell you it is a special moment for me. You look at me in a unique way that is just between the two of us. Your eyes are brighter every day and your whole face breaks out in a smile. I can't get enough.
I don't know if I have written to you both about this before or not- but if I have, a reminder. I am writing to you about it because I am sure your dad wouldn't think of it. He has been performing improv comedy games with a couple of people at our church for the last Saturday of the month for almost 7 years! Just to give you an idea of it though, our church is very large. On a normal show, he is probably performing for around 100 people, sometimes more. In case he does not continue to have the opportunity to do it in the years to come- you should know- he is very good at it. He has natural comedic timing and is very smart and quick with the games they play. He gives great thought to how he can improve, how games could be funnier, etc. I am so proud of him and what he can do. I used to be at every show and take the $2 at the door for about 5 years. Then about two years ago- everything changed... You guys are not really Saturday night at the comedy show kind of kids right now. I just wanted to let you know that your dad did this because he's good at it. Also because your whole life you are going to know me as the funnier one, so I don't want him having no credit at all. ha ha- I did theater myself but that is another story.
Another week of work done and another begins tomorrow. I miss you both terribly when I am not here. The mumlesson of this week has to be that I have to take it one day at a time. Enjoy the time I have with you each day and enjoy my work as well- do a good job and all the times left on the to do lists of both locations at the end of every day- will just have to wait!
Tomorrow night your dad and I are going to see the musical Wicked! We are so excited! Honey and Grandpa come the next day for a visit!
