Six days until opening night and counting...

We had another minor setback yesterday in the form of a not very productive rehearsal. Courtney had to work; Keeny was sick; Tyler went to All State camp; and Kari and Chase had to leave early for work, so all we could do was run through a couple of the chorus numbers. But we worked on the set some afterward, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Right before practice, I called my friend Melissa and let her know about the complimentary ticket I had for her. It's actually for two, but she and I are both hoping another friend will be back from teaching at music camp in time for the play, so he could use it as well.

There are some friends that I guess I could consider my BFF's if I wanted to use high school terminology. Melissa is more than that. I would consider her kind of like a sister (and in a way we are, sisters in the gospel). We first met last summer when she was coming to the branch on and off. We exchanged e-mail addresses and phone numbers. We kept in touch off and on. And this year, because of struggles we're both dealing with, we've become closer. We even took the road trip down to Nauvoo together for the pageant right before rehearsals for Lucky Stiff picked up.

All in all, it's because of that I'm glad that she's planning to be there at the play, either on opening night or Saturday night. :)
