Twenty-four days into 2010. Is that it? I feel like 2010 is dragging by. Why is it that when you want time to slow down it goes so quickly, but when you actually want time to move a little faster you feel as if your days are slogging through mud? The kind of mud that sucks your boots right off your feet.

I am very conscious of the passage of time right now, counting each day and week. Big things are happening in my world right now and I can't wait to see how 2010 turns out.

I'm directing my first Shakespeare play at school. We're doing A Midsummer Nights Dream this spring. I am so excited about it and so it the cast. Auditions just wrapped up this past week, and rehearsals will begin in February.

Shane and I have fallen in love with each other all over again, not that we fell out of love ever, but there is definitely a new fervor in our relationship. I have been spending more time in prayer, which has been great for me. I'm keeping up with several of my new year's resolutions, so I feel really good about that. Maybe I am turning into a real grownup after all.
