These past few weeks, I've been back in the acting scene with our production of Twelve Angry Men. It's a play about a jury deliberating a murder case involving a young man allegedly killing his father. The whole time we were in production, I had to have an understudy and a plan to get me off the stage if "the" phone call came in. But, no baby yet, so I was able to finish the run.

Well, Mel is coming down to the last little bit of being pregnant. Now beginning Week number 35, Nathan is getting very close to full term. He's kicking like crazy now, giving us great hope of a black belt baby in there. The funniest times are when her entire belly moves from a kick. He's got some power.
We've got a busy week coming up with some youth ministry events Sunday and Wednesday, some new Tiny Tiger sign-ups, rehearsals for the play, and then the tournament in Austin Friday and Saturday. Follow that up with the beginning of my church's Revival services on Sunday. We don't know how we're ever going to be able to wait so much longer for Nathan to get here. We can't wait to hold him and to take care of him. Six weeks away, and we already love him.
Two hearts became one and joined together in a decision that would change their lives forever. Yes, this weekend we are celebrating our first anniversary together as husband and wife. It's hard to imagine that one year ago, we were both preparing for a wedding, and now we are together, and expecting our first child.
It especially was apparent to us because we spent the weekend at the wedding of one of Melissa's sorority sisters from college. Meli played the piano for the entire service so we were there all weekend, watching as they went through the same steps we did June 3 last year. I think we both agreed that although we would marry each other again in a heartbeat, we would only do it if there was no wedding involved :)
Then we went out to eat at a very nice restaurant in Rockwall and we went ahead and exchanged our gifts then. She got me tickets to Spamalot the musical and had a family bible engraved with our name "The Bilyeu Family" on it. I bought her season tickets to her favorite thing, the Texas Ballet Theater.
Finally, we spent the rest of the evening registering for Nathan at Target. It's wonderful seeing all that baby stuff, but a little overwhelming when you realize how much stuff it takes to bring a baby home. We picked up some great onesies that say things like "Instructions not included" and "Nothing's wrong, just testing you."
Anyway, it's going to be a long day today with church, youth, piano lessons, and a frozen cake top defrosting on the counter.
The local Sulphur Springs news website was at the theater last night to catch the performance of the Tribute to Broadway. They put up a huge number of pictures from the show, and a review.

Last night we were at the beginning of the second act when the CD quit working. Right in the middle of "Betrayed" from the Producers, the CD player decided to eat the CD. Without missing a beat, Mike just kept right on going. Too bad, too, because the show was going great. I guess it's true that if it's technological, it will break at the worst times. At least Mel got to be the dancing army tank before the player croaked.
So, we have been in a production at the Community Theatre called "A Tribute to Broadway Past and Present." I (Daron) have had one of the lead parts and Melissa has been able to sing, dance, and even be a ballet dancing army tank. Wearing the dress was a favor to the director, because the guy playing the role quit the performance..
We have both had a blast in this production! We have four more performances this weekend and then it's all over.
