Bein' Grown and Such

So I'm being reminded that getting married is a lot more than looking for the perfect wedding dress (which I don't have yet).  It was slightly surreal to be sitting with Nathan earlier this evening while we filled out home loan application paperwork.  In about six months I will no longer be living in my parent's home.  In about six months Nathan and I might own our own home??!  So many of my friends have been married for awhile now, and many are having kids.  I'm happy to have found my mate and to be joining the ranks of "grown-ups"...but I don't have much of an idea of how exactly I got here or what exactly I'm doing.  It's definitely a learn-as-I-go type thing (as much of life is).  I really rely on Nathan for some of what we're tackling, because even if he doesn't know a lot more about mortgages and other "grown-up" things than I do, he's certainly good at pretending he does. :-p 

I have a job interview on Thursday; my second this summer.  This position probably won't offer the hours or benefits that the other job I was really hoping for would have, but it also won't take up quite as much of my life.  Since I'm looking at staying active in (and expanding) my theatre-related work (and hopefully going back to school), working part time has its perks.

Speaking of theatre, I am excited that once again I have been offered my next gig before my current one is over.  This has been the trend for me for almost a year now, and I'm really happy about the positive things that says about my outlook for growing in this business.  I don't want to say too much yet, but it's a position I love to work (it's backstage) and will carry a lot more challenge than any previous show I've done.
