@emma-flournoy How are you, love? I just finished my Beauty and the Beast show yesterday and besides the fact that I’m officially graduating on Friday I don’t know what to do with my life anymore now that I am no longer on that stage. What’s going on with you?
You don’t know what to do with your life? Well for one thing you could give me some of your spare time! 😀
Hey. <3 I'm still extremely busy, but I've been in a remarkably good mood today and am for some reason feeling pretty happy. Which makes me happy. Still regular stuff…lots of beta-reading stuff, and emailing, and regular life, and trying to find time for reading and music. Frustrating…but I'm not depressed right now.
I wrote your letter yesterday and would've sent it today except it's Memorial Day, so no mail. But I shall be sending it tomorrow. 🙂
You doing well? With all that spare time? 😉
Haha! If I could I definitely would. I basically spent the past two days in bed watching a tv show called Heartland on my computer… I think I watched a whole season that quickly. But my stomach was hurting me a lot and I felt really sick so that is my excuse for allowing that to happen. I’m glad you are happy. That makes me really happy. 😀 I can’t wait to get your letter. My guess is that I’ll get it Friday then. 😀 That will make my graduation day even happier if it comes. I’ll have a nice long letter in response telling you all about that and the play and I’ll make sure to send it off before I head out to meet up with the KeePers in PA. I’ve at least had time to draw a little in this spare time. I sent two of my latest pics to Kate so she can show you those if you want to see. 😀 I guess that’s all from me right now. I’m relishing these few days of nothing before my life becomes chaos. The only thing I have tomorrow is my friend Joy Mastron coming over to play some board games just because. And on Wednesday I’m going to Disneyland because a new ride just opened and I want to ride it 😀
@emma-flournoy I suppose I should actually tag you 😀
*finally leaps out of the world of busyness for a moment*
Being sick gives you such good excuses, doesn’t it? 😉 I hope you’re feeling better now. Aaand was the TV show good? A sappy romantic comedy? XD
Ooh, and now I can’t wait to get your letter whenever it will come. 😀
I think I saw at least one of those pictures when Kate showed me the B&tB pics… you’re an incredible artist, ya know.
Playing board games with a friend is always fun. 😀
And was the Disneyland ride good?
Here’s to life not descending into overly much chaos. *raises glass of…water*
(P.S. Actually, in a reply, when you hit the reply button to one of my comments, the tage isn’t needed because I’ll get a notification of a reply. 😀 So…fyi. In case you ever freak out about having forgot the tag on a reply, as I’ve done before.)
@emma-flournoy
I got your letter! I’m writing a reply to it now while I have a tad bit of downtime before my graduation.
Yay. 😀
@emma-flournoy
Just a head’s up I mailed your letter yesterday. How was your day? (and if I don’t respond to any of your messages until after I get back from Josiah’s house I apologize now.) But my day was quite wonderful. Church as usual. But this afternoon I wrote what felt to be a million thank you notes to all the wonderful people who sent me cards and helped my celebrate my graduation. Here’s a tip. (Or a couple) Don’t take people for granted. Sometimes you don’t realize how much people love you or how much people mean to you when you see them all the time. Don’t be afraid to say “I love you.” Especially if you mean it. Obviously, don’t say it if you don’t mean it. People need to hear it.
Yesterday, (Saturday) I sat in my backyard. There were many tables and chairs about, full of people who loved me and supported me and it was sort of eye-opening. Seeing them all in one place. Seeing how many there actually were. All there to celebrate me and my graduation. Anyone who wanted could come, and I must admit I was overwhelmed at the amazing people the Lord has placed in my life. (And to think that there were so many more who weren’t there.) But overall never take anyone for granted. I know you, my sweet Emma, have so many people who love you as well and never be afraid to shower them with love in return. It’s also funny, if you think about all these people in your life, depression has a little less of a hold on you.
I’m afraid I should have warned you for another mini-sermon, but I wasn’t expecting it myself. But my graduation and my party were both wonderful. My favorite little band of people were there. (My brother Mark, my really good friend Tyler, and my best friend, Becky) We are a good little squad. 😀 Now, I must end here because I have things to do before bed. But I’m glad I had a little bit of a chance to write you to you.
Bright and early tomorrow I’m headed out to pick up Becky to go to Disneyland and meet up with Tyler, (and some other theater people) and then head on over to the Beauty and the Beast cast party!
Also here’s a link to my Instagram account so you can see it if you want. Also, I wanted to show you a pic of a book I got as a grad present. https://www.instagram.com/christine.j.eaton/
Love you girl!
I’ll talk you soon! You should get my letter by this weekend for sure. It’s kinda short, but it’s something. 😀
Hope you’re enjoying yourself now in PA!
I like the sermon. Really. I like your sermons. And it’s very true, I know.
Ooh, The White Gypsy! I haven’t read it but it’s one of my favorite Lamplighter audio dramas. Nice. 😀
I’ve got your letter. 😀 Love ya too.
@emma-flournoy
I am very much enjoying myself here. This morning Daeus arrives and then everyone is here. I’m rooming with Hope so that is fun. Because we were just kinda waiting for everyone to get here it’s been fairly slow, lots of card games. But it’s really cool to see everyone in real life. I’m going to go for now but I’ll tell you all about it later either in a message like this or in a letter 😀
I BET IT IS REALLY COOL SEEING EVERYONE IN REAL LIFE!!! You’ll have to enjoy it for me. 😀
Sound really great.
