Let the Choirs Ring Forth!

I got the job! I am now the choir director of the Third Presbyterian Church of Staunton! *dances* It's a wonderful opportunity and the pastor and elders who met with me are really nice - I'm going to enjoy working with them. It seems like a very similar place to the church I grew up in, so I'll feel right at home and I know exactly how to deal with the choir. I'm pretty sure KA didn't always know how to handle them, since she didn't grow up in this sort of church, but I think I have a fairly good idea of how to work with them so everyone gets along. I like knowing that I'm qualified to do a job, and to do it well.

I finished all of my exams and am now comfortably ensconced in the living room easy chair back in Watsontown, PA. Dad is sitting across from me with the paper and Mom will be home soon from Sisters in Faith. We are watching Monk, because Dad refuses to watch Third Rock From the Sun again. But ah well.

Found out just five minutes ago that my older sister and her fiance will be moving to Colorado this summer, for his graduate studies. I have mixed feelings - she's one of my very best friends, possibly my best friend, and I won't be able to visit her so easily now. (However, now visiting her means a cross-country trip out West, which should be the shit.) However, my first trip, should I choose to attempt it, will be a journey to Germany, methinks. I've been wanting to go for quite a while now, and now I have added incentive to go. :-)

Well, congratulations on the job! May it not involve as much monotony as mine does at present...
