Long over due- I am bad at this game (I promise I will get better!)

So it has been a busy week since I last updated. Here we go.

The holidays came and went so fast. Christmas Eve was nice. We had a small group at our house. Mom cried and Dad was very excited about their gifts. If you do not know I got my Mom a memorial charm of our cat Garfield and for my dad a day trip to NYC with Sammi B, her dad, and myself to see Avenue Q. Christmas day we went to Rhode Island like usual. It was a nice day, very full house and a little crazy but when is my family not crazy. (Random fact that bugs me the word Rhode is considered misspelled even though it is part of a states name!)

Saturday dad and I went to the city. It was a long day but all four of us enjoyed the day and the time that we got to spend with eachother- The show was amazing. This was the second time I saw it and enjoyed it enormously.

I think I am almost done packing and figuring out how to get everything into two bags under the weight limit... it was not easy but i did it! The only thing left is harassing the insurance company about the meds because i am gone longer then 90 days and that is all the allow for a script...

I cant believe that tomorrow night starts the new year- where has the time gone...Well it is here! Isaac is spending the night and I think we are gonna just hang out and watch movies. Easy and quiet which is okay with me...

Friday Caitlin is coming up with her parents! I am excited to see her... We have a few things planned and then my going away party is Saturday night and then next week is the last week for me to be home! (at least I am working to distract me...)

I guess that is it for now...

Maine has welcomed me with open cloads

So I returned home to Maine.

The end of the semester went so fast! Te show was amazing we got held for KCACTF festival but unfortunately none of the shows will be going. Congrads though to American Century for the choice of NYC showcase. It was sad to say goodbye the theatre life at Southern but I know I will be back is just what I have to keep telling myself. The going away party was depressing but was also amazing because I saw some people who i have not seen in a while but also got to spend one last night with the people who are a family to me. Thank you to everyone who came who made life great!

So i got home tuesday night and have basically been non-stop since I got here between organizing my things from one home to the next and trying to screw my head on straight for what is coming with me and what will have to be left behind- I made a list but it seems like I will have to cut down a bit....

cleaning, decorating, shoveling snow and such has consumed my time. Road trips with the ones that i have missed and will miss dearly. Wrapping gifts, putting together toys, and trying to find a minute to relax and update the blog... is it really day 5 since i got home... i do not believe it where has the time gone... but it makes me realize that my departure is gonna be here before i know it...

I guess that is really it for now. Holidays are fast approaching. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

A little overdue....

Its been awhile....I have been so busy between end of the semester madness, CP stuff, and packing everything up....

So life in the past week and a half. Teched the show- opened show- had response for show and now we close on Saturday which I can not believe. Talk about a whirlwind from Thanksgiving to this coming Tuesday when I leave for Maine. I still can not believe that I will not technically be back in New Haven for a little over 9 months...

I have basically packed up my life once again and will have to do a major re-organization, re-calculation of my life... I need to just find one place and stay but i doubt that will happen anytime soon. I am always amazed on how much stuff I have everywhere.

The shows have been going great. The audiences have been on the smaller size and especially with the weather last night it was very small.

When I get home I will be working at LPL, CLT and puttering around the house as I get ready and keep myself busy as I wait for the 11th to get here. I am ready to leave, I am nervous to leave, I am very thankful for the opportunity, I am impatient for it to get here. But for now I will have to wait for the day and keep saying goodbye to friends and family from all around. Sunday is going to be very sad because I know that it will be the last time I see some of these people for months... but I knew it was coming it just seems to have crept up on me.

Thats it for now....

Things I am going to miss the most

People keep asking me about what am I going to miss most while I am away.

It is a hard question to answer because I could list tons of material things such as my cell phone or TV but it is more about the challenge that is ahead of me that will I guess change the way that I look about what I miss the most.

Things such as:
Time with friends and family
The little things that make me smile that will change as I discover the world around me
Trips and the adventure that comes with them
Realizing what I have and what others dont.
One thing I believe I will miss the most is water- fresh water. I dont care about cold showers but fresh water to brush my teeth with will be a thing i know i will miss.
Being able to pick up a phone and call someone- yes I can call on the computer but it really is not the same.
These are some of things I will miss but I will keep you all posted on what I really miss when I get there...
