Back at the Mac!

I have found myself once again in the employment of the Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, NY. This summer is going a thousand times better than the summer of '09. I am suppose to be the shop's firsthand but have found myself in the roll of shop manager more than anything else, which is perfectly fine with me. It is a new challenge for sure. I have never managed a costume shop before or even assisted a shop manager either. Needless to say I am learning a lot!


The time apart from Matt, my family, and my friends is always hard, but it is definitely not the first time I've been away from them. While apart from them I have to focus my thoughts on what I'm gaining from the experience not all the things I will be missing. 


We went to have a drink at a pub here in Chatham, and discovered it was a Welsh pub. I loved it! It brought back fond memories of my time in Wales and made me really want to visit real soon. It is hard to believe that that was seven years ago. So much has changed in my life since then. I wish I could say that my walk with God was closer than then, but that would be a lie. I have gone through so much since I returned. My circle of friends has changed dramatically. I often wonder how different my life would be if I had stayed for the complete year in Wales verses coming home at Christmas. I know I would be someone completely different now. In the year that followed my return I loss both of my grandmothers, a close friend's mom got breast cancer (and beat it!), I got my first professional job, I had my heart broken, and I met the man I hope to marry one day soon (even though at the time we were only coworkers). I know now looking back that if I had not gone to Wales I would not have been strong enough to handle all that happened. So God, I thank You for my time there, and I thank You for all You have done. I look forward to getting close to You once again and just living in Your light.
