Home Alone

For about a month, I have had the company of a pharmacy school student who was here on a rotation. She was so sweet and it was so nice to have someone to come home to and to cook for once in a while! Her rotation ended yesterday, so she's gone now and I'm "home alone." Growing up in a family of six, I have always cherished the time that I could be home alone, but now that I have seven more months of it…it doesn't seem so exciting! I am looking forward to going back home for Christmas (and our trip to Florida!) and then all the visitors in from Janurary 10th-Fenruary 2nd for Les Miserables. I have a feeling that March will come around before I know it and I will be skiing with my mom and youngest brother. And once April hits, it will be the home stretch before my handsome husband comes home.

Yesterday, there was a school shooting in Centennial. I pass by this town every time I drive to Denver. Please say a prayer for all those affected by it.

I have some exciting news! I had an audition today for a lead in a feature film. The director reiterated over and over again that he was very impressed and I walked away feeling like I actually nailed the audition! Usually, I walk away from auditions critiquing myself, so I'm not sure what exactly it means that I feel so confident about this one. It might be because they were so eager to compliment me--who knows, they could have done so for everyone. I guess we will see! Callbacks are in February, but hopefully they will notify me before then.

Tomorrow night, I am going to the battalion Christmas party. I still haven't met any wives from Jack's new company, so I am hoping to tomorrow. I convinced my friend whose husband is in Jack's battalion but in a different company to come with me. We shall see how it goes!


And now for the most exciting news of all…

I am *THIS* close to finishing thank you notes. I have done all I can right now as I'm waiting for people to update me with addresses. All I need to do is scribble the addresses on about 10 envelopes and I'm done. I'm so close that this calls for a glass of wine.
