Yes, the Beach Boys are ringing in my head.
I have to say this week has been one of the best we've had in a while. Everything we've wanted seems to be falling into place. I don't know that I could have said that last week when we found out that Matt didn't make the cut for the half-time position at Central, the cops needed to come to our neighborhood 3 times in the same night, and my next door neighbors are moving to a nearby town. This week, everything seems to have turned around (I actually think it started last Friday, when I got the job). First I had a great time hanging out with my many wonderful friends. Molly and I got to chill on Tuesday; I heard wonderful music on Wednesday and got to see both Allyss and Erin; a fantabulous lunch with Molly and Jana (two amazingly wonderful women) and my Matt; another amazing concert last night followed by more fun with Allyss and Art. Last night's concert was Allyss DMA conducting premier (I think). It was absolutely amazing and I'm not a big fan of choral concerts that last over an hour. This one was almost 2 hours--she was the second half, well worth the wait. And, we found out that everything is still moving forward with the house. The sellers have agreed to fix everything we requested, well, both things we requested. So 33 days from now, I'll be a very happy camper. Then this morning, Matt got the news that he won the spot in the Municipal band. Yay for $$. On top of getting to work with Charlie Vernon in June/July, he will be doing a lot of playing this summer.
This morning we got to talk to the In-laws. They sound great. Mom-i-l is waiting for her shingles to subside so she can get her last dose of chemo and Dad-i-l is just his normal fantastic self. We told them about our talk with our amazing friend, John, who is a PhD composition major. His works are fantastic and he agreed to write a piece for Kennis (trombone & piano). In return, they gave us even better news: Kennis was in Florida with her family and came down with a severe fever which landed her in the hospital(seriously it's good news). They did a CT scan and the tumor they said had grown back was GONE...not smaller, GONE! I can't express the extreme joy that everyone is feeling and hope the news just gets better. While she still has to have another spinal tap and is still working on getting her fever down, I pray the good news continues.
peace, love, health, and happiness (yes the salutations are getting longer)
