Dream come true, seriously.

This last week was crazy for me. CA-razy. It was performance week for the ballet school I work for. I was gone every night and didn't get home until after 10:00pm, except Monday and that was only because I was gone earlier in the day. It was kind of fun to be on the backstage end of it all, getting girls dressed and to the stage. I got to call the show Thursday and Friday night which was awesome. My job was to watch the show from backstage and then call the girls up to the stage over the PA system when their parts were coming up. Seriously, best job ever. It was so much fun, but exhausting. I'd get home after 10:00 and then was up for another hour or so until I could wind down enough to go to sleep. I actually napped twice this week, which is unheard of.

And I have the most incredible, sweet husband in the world. I got home last night well past 10:30 and I walk in the door to find "The Grateful Jarmans Restaurant and Spa". He had set the table with a tablecloth and flowers. He had a place setting out and even remembered a salad fork. I wish both of my camera batteries hadn't died earlier or I would have taken a picture, it was so cute! He made salad and one of my favorite comfort foods, Stroganoff. After dinner it was off to the "spa", which, um, you don't need any details on. But it was all incredibly sweet. I asked him what it was all for and he said he knew I'd had a long week and had come home late at night only to scavenge for whatever we had to eat and he wanted to make sure I had a good meal. It was awesome.

The other good thing about Friday was I took my camera with me. I hadn't before because I wasn't sure if we were "allowed", but Thursday night everyone had cameras. I have always, always, ALWAYS wanted to photograph ballerinas and backstage. So as I sat tethered to my headset I was able to snap away. I'm in love with my 50mm lens. It produced some awesome images. Here's one for a tease and the rest are over on my photoblog:
