Just another purge of news...
No pics, but don't worry, you don't want any... Actually I COULD put up photos of our CRAZY Saint Patrick's Day celebrations, which then led into even CRAZIER (mainly due to lateness of night and lack of sleep) birthday celebrations for Tony!!! That was last weekend... which probably contributed to us being sick all week. Actually I've been sick since the week before last, started coming down with a "change-of-season" cold and then it spiked on, like, Monday... I felt like DEATH!!!!! Then I started getting better towards the end of the week as Daniel started getting sicker... We have impeccable timing, have I ever mentioned that???
I had my Brooklyn College audition last weekend, sick, but still got a call-back. Went back later that afternoon and did a whole bunch of REALLY fun drama and relaxation exercises. Of all the auditionees, I was one of about 20 people at the call back. Of that number, I THINK they take about 8... so, we'll see. I should know in about 3 weeks...(about the same time I find out if I won tickets to go see the Musical, Spring Awakening, on Broadway... if I get BOTH it's going to be the BEST WEEK EVER!!!!!!!!)
So, Daniel has been working like a DOG!!!! (I don't necessarily think Dogs work very hard but who's going to argue with The Beatles) Last week was especially hard. Worked all Sunday and then had a week where he had to be at work early every day and stay late most days too.... He was EXHAUSTED come this weekend!!!!!! But the job is looking better and better. He's getting a lot of opportunities and making some good contacts. I'm very proud of him. And, he's really happy, too.
You know, I started keeping this blog a year ago... almost to the day. And when I started this blog, NEVER did I imagine that we would have come this far. We bought some furniture on the weekend and cleaned up our apartment. It REALLY looks like a home now, like OUR home. I think about everything we had a year ago, all that we gave up and sacrificed and now, all that we have gained... in a YEAR... in just 12 months, people. It blows my mind. I am honestly in shock!!!! I am so proud of Daniel, mostly. I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew what would be easy and what would be hard about living in this country and in this city. I knew what the people would be like and how hard it would be being so far from home. But, Daniel.... Daniel had no idea. He just dived right in, blindfolded and trusting. He put so much faith in me, so much trust in me and in our marriage. And, although he hasn't told me this, I guess, in himself as well. I mean, he HAD to have faith in himself and his own ability to kick New York's ASS!!!!! And he has, he IS!!!!!!! He has taken this challenge, this imposable dream, and he's building it. He's working for it and he's making it happen. I am so proud of him, and I guess, by association, I have to be proud of myself for the same reason. We really did throw away everything. Jessica, the girls I used to work with at Steam (only 1 or 2 years my senior) just had a baby. I think about the path Daniel and I were on in Sydney... that could have been us, you know?? Not that it would have been a bad thing, it would have been an absolute blessing (one I still hope to have soon) but it would have meant not being able to do this. Not being able to say in 30 years, no matter where we are, that we went for it. Gung-Ho, All Out, we went for it, and gave it our all. We risked everything for this dream, and we tried. I'm glad I can say that... And I hope that one day, I can say it was all totally worth it and paid off!!!!!!
I love you all, and miss you to death!!!!!!!
We send big hugs, we miss you all!
