Happy...

Wow, I've had a hard time keeping in touch with people lately...even my closest friends. So I will try to update for those who read this. I'm ridiculously busy these days trying to get finances in order to move to LA by year's end. Thus, I have two jobs that keep me working at least 60 hrs a week, leaving little time for much else. To those I have neglected recently, I apologize.

Along with being busy, I'm happier than I've been in a while. And honestly, I'm happy in general so now I'm ridiculously happy ;) Still in shock, but deliriously happy. Joey has come back into my life. Though I never believed we'd ever be more than friends in life again, if even that, we've given a relationship another chance (or really, our first real chance) and it's going splendidly. Some people in my life are still skeptical...but even through their hesitation, I know they wish me nothing but happiness and support my decisions. And if you've been around me in the last couple weeks, you know that I can't stop myself from smiling. So I'd say, I couldn't have made a better decision than "yes." Have I mentioned I'm still in shock. Who knew?!

What else...booked a Casino AZ print job that shoots this week! Woohoo! Have had more auditions in the last couple weeks than the last few months combined. Another woohoo! Had a fantastic class with Molly this weekend and was happy to learn that I will be a welcome addition to her Master's class when I do make the move to LA...which was a thrill because you have to be invited. It's amazing to me how much my confidence has grown in the last year with regards to my career. I feel big things are ahead for me in that department.

My birthday's coming up...and my mom's 50th! Wow, that time of year again. Sometimes I start freaking out and then I stop to realize how lucky I am to be turning another year older. Especially with the last month and Darlene. I think of her daily. Since my grandma died in 1999, this is the closest I've come to cancer affecting my life again and it's scary. Times when I find that I want to cry, I realize life's too short and every moment needs to be celebrated. The tears may come still...but I've never met someone more inspiring and optimistic when given the news Darlene has heard in the last few weeks. For anyone who believes in prayer, please keep Darlene in your thoughts.

I have so much more to say because it's been so long since I've written...however, if I don't go to bed soon, I will regret the decision come 6am tomorrow...honestly, a part of me already does!

More updates to come.
