Tonight Imma fight till we see the sunlight

Day 30 of eXtreme puppeteeretry 2010 and Matt is performing his last show in Tulsa, OK.
We went to Boston for the weekend and all I got was jet lag. and delicious food. and time with good friends. and an invitation to a fabulous wedding... OKAY, FINE, IT WAS AWESOME.

Three years ago, I taught at a school for children with autism in Massachusetts, and it changed my life in some surprising ways. During my time in New England, I felt not only cold, but exceedingly lonely. Then I was befriended by my coworker Joe, and the amount of time I spent eating pizza alone in my apartment decreased significantly. I also had the pleasure of working with Kelly, who possessed an infectious smile and that same kind spirit. So, how wonderful is it that the two fell in love and were married this past weekend? Very. I honestly cannot think of a better match.
We ate delicious food with Megan and Joel in Boston, then boogied our booties off at the wedding in Worcester (Wuhster), before hitting the airport at 4 in the morning and doing our best to sleep in a flying tin can. I bought a travel pillow!Our time back in Tulsa has been short, and honestly, what can I say about it that I didn't say last year? The great thing about doing repeat venues is that occasionally a librarian will remember us and treat us with the same affection she'd reserve for a niece and nephew. She'll ask about the business, congratulate us on getting engaged, and then pinch our cheeks and talk about how big we've gotten. Really, it's sweet.
