What a joy, to be able to look in front of me to the conductor, this person who is passionate and talented and expressive and clearly overjoyed by the musical experience, and to know that I am married to him. To know that at the end of the concert, when the audience is gone, and the music stands are folded up, and the instruments put away, I get to go home with him and sit in the lovely home that we have made, and think about how blessed we are to be able to experience these musical highs together. What a gift. I am so grateful.
The concert today was very very well received. I am so excited and glad that everything went so well. The choir did a fantastic job, and all the singers were so pleased and proud of themselves. The soloists, all long-time friends of WH's, were memorable, and we had the pleasure of being able to go out for dinner afterwards and enjoy their company and celebrate this successful endeavor. Hallelujah.
And now we rest.

A beautiful post. What a joy it must be for the two of you to share life together.
I'm so glad you had a wonderful concert!
I tagged you for the Book Meme.
Isn't that grand! My DH is MUCH more musically accomplished than I and while we sing in church choir together, I also get to admiringly support him in chamber groups of very talented folks. It's a nice mix!
