flowers

Last night was the final performance of "Nina Variations." I'm so proud of our cast's incredible performance! They were AMAZING. On fire. Wow. There couldn't have been a better final show from them. They've been such a gift.

Surprisingly, I ended up with flowers after all of this--and quite a lot of flowers at that. Opening night, Lisa--the head of the drama department--gave me a rose. And then last night...holy cow. One of my good friends gave me three long-stemmed white roses. The cast presented me with a potted plant of miniature white roses. Tyler gave me a bouquet of pink carnations. :) Tyler's parents sent me a bouquet of roses. And some close missionary friends also sent me a bouquet of flowers--not sure what all is in it, but there are lilies.

I love lilies...but unfortunately, I think I might be allergic to them! I have allergic reactions to certain perfumes--they make my throat raw and make me cough. This morning, I woke up with that type of sensation--my room smells like flowers A LOT--and I thought it was just delayed stress-induced cold type illness. (...bad sentence...) But now I'm thinking that it might be the lilies. Not sure though...

Anyhow, I was stunned and flattered that I ended up with this many flowers. I really didn't do all that much for the show. I ran errands here and there, gave input here and there, but overall not a lot. But that said, it now looks like there's been a funeral in my room.
