Driver's Permit, Chorale, Spring Play etc., etc.....

Well, one thing I did not mention yet is that while Riley and I were at his Musical Theater Audition, Abbie and Terry were at the Department of Public Safety taking the written test (on computers that crashed the day before), and getting her permit. This was all sandwiched in between her attending Southwestern Model UN. She had a blast and YES, she got her permit! Yeah Abbie!!! Last week Abbie auditioned for Mr. G. to be accepted into Chorale. This is a Nationally recognized choir at school.(I just found that out last week, a little slow aren't I) So Congratulations Abbie!!! She made Chorale for next year. Now she and Riley can concentrate on the spring play (A Midsummer Nights Dream), oh wait, they have Mnemosyne (pronounced "new moss sin e") this Friday and Saturday. That is the competitive acting meet their school puts on. I will be cooking and working that one. Abbie informed me that Friday is also enrollment day. I only have one to enroll this year :o( They have grown up so fast!!! I'm proud of each of them.

College Auditions Finished, Now the Waiting Game

Riley is finished with College Auditions!!! Now is the waiting game. I got to go with him yesterday for his Musical Theater audition. The school we were at has a very concentrated group. They have a total of 50 students, freshmen thru seniors, in the entire program. They are ranked in the top 5 in the country. This year they will be admitting 12 new students for fall. Six girls and Six guys. Wow!!! We had a great time and Riley actually had one of his good friends auditioning also. I will let you know the outcome of these 3 auditions.

2 Down 1 To Go

Well, Saturday and Sunday's auditions went well and Riley and Terry were impressed with one of the school's drama department. They didn't actually go to the other school, as it was an off campus audition, so we don't have a lot of info on the school other than what we have read online. Friday is the last audition and I will be attending this time since it is a workday. I have to admit, I am a bit excited about going. I get that way when my kids are doing something new for their future. I was the same way when we were getting Travis off to college. I think I enjoyed the whole process more than he did. Pray that Riley stays healthy as there is singing involved in this one. This one is for a musical theater department. I'm torn as to which I would rather him do. Either way I will still get to see him perform and that makes it all worth it.

Let the Auditions Begin....

Well starting Saturday, Riley will begin the college audition process. He has 2 drama auditions and 1 musical theater audition. Terry will be accompanying him on these adventures. I will be at home praying. He has already been accepted to one of the schools and we won't hear from the other until April. Now comes being accepted to the departments. Good luck Riley!!! I love you and will be praying for you.

1+1=2

I finished my mittens!!! Now I am working on a matching scarf. I usually only work on these in the orthodontist office, or other waiting rooms. Then I am not so disappointed by the bad selection of magazines my dentist has. Abbie has her wisdom teeth out this summer so I will need to come up with something that day.
