Week Three, Here I Come

I left off yesterday after my visit to Georgetown, but my day did not end there. I metro-ed out to Vienna around 4 to go spend the night at the Snyder's. We had a very lovely dinner, watched a movie, and I mended some pointe shoes. It was nice to be "in a family" again with squabbling siblings and sarcastic comments across the dinner table and that wonderful awkward feeling watching certain scenes of a modern movie together. Hah, boy do I miss home. No, but really it was very nice. All of the Snyder's are incredibly friendly and I felt right at home. It was a really delightful and relaxing evening (with some really yummy food, did I mention?)

Then, I started today with a lovely breakfast at the Snyder's house then went with Ms. Melanie to Fairfax Community Church where we met the Neffs (minus Joe who's on a mission trip to Toronto, lucky boy). Church was lovely--it was nice to know most of the songs, though they played them at just slightly different tempos. Approximately a half beat of difference. Which was super discombobulating for me, but I did at least know and enjoy the words. And the little bit of my dad in me (okay, I know it's really a lot of my dad in me...) always appreciates seeing a representation of both genders participating in the leadership of the service, but I was reminded of how truly great my mom's stage presence is when she speaks, though I guess I could be pretty biased. Side note: I do miss them pretty considerably. Anywho.

After church we had a nice lunch at an Irish Pub. That's right we went to a pub after church, but that's not nearly as sacrilegious as the show we saw afterwards. The Neffs took me to see a high school production of "The Producers". Wow. I think Aunt Mona said it best: "It was one of those shows where you're embarrassed to say you like it, but it was really good." And it was certainly impressive for a high school production.

Then I came home, had some good leftovers, went and grabbed some bananas from Giant, did my laundry, turned in my project online, emailed a teacher about summer assignments, watched an old Steve Martin movie, and mentally prepped for another week of some intense ballet. My toes are looking...I don't have to wear band-aids to cover my toes. My muscles are pretty okay (except the right side of my ribs. Weird.), I've only got one more unit in my online computer course, and I've got a lot of Spanish to keep practicing.

Week three, here I come.
