Dear Greta

Dearest cousin Greta,

I just HAD to write and tell you about the last few weeks. (Translation : you have lovingly coerced me into updating my blog, and I have finally obliged.)

So many things have been happening this summer that I should just start at the beginning and give you the highlights:

WORK:

Brayden and I are now both working at The Natural Bridge of Virginia. He is their graphic and web designer, and I am working as a historical interpreter in the Indian village.  It is very hot and very sticky in the village, but even so you absolutely have to come see me sometime! My bosses and co-workers are all really nice, and I think it's a job I'd be glad to return to each summer.

HOME:

We're MOVING! Just across the parking lot, but our new apartment has two bedrooms and a bigger kitchen and a real laundry room! That's the thing that finally won Brayden over to the move. He gets so frustrated when I have to hang clothes to dry in our bathroom (which is our current laundry room) that he was thrilled with the idea of never seeing wet shirts hanging over the shower curtain again.


We move in on July 23rd, smack in the middle of our sojourn at the Cluff Family Proper's house. We're house/dog-sitting while they are gallivanting around London.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN:

The Maymester show was an absolutely smashing success! I miss it already, and now I am anxiously awaiting the cast list for the summer show (Songs for a New World).

IN OTHER NEWS:

Brayden is still debating between about ten different life paths, so we honestly have NO idea where we'll be in five years (or even two years.) I'm still pursuing my writing/acting career and have recently decided that I want to put a laser tag arena in my basement.

Vacation this year was a blast. We had to run to catch a plane, we got to ride the L train (or is it "el train?" I'm never sure how to deal with slang) in Chicago and we went up the Sears Tower. I even stood out on "the ledge," which is this glass box they put up on the observation level that makes you feel like you're standing over nothing. Keep in mind that I am terrified of heights! But I'm trying to prove to Brayden that I can be an adventurous person, so I did it. And afterwords, he bought me a t-shirt as a prize :)

Cant' wait to hear from you darling. (Hope you liked the letter-like format :) Write back soon!

Much love,
Kaitlin
