USC & Bday

Chris has his final audition at USC tomorrow morning at 10:45am. Say a little prayer. There's no doubt he'll do great. He's pretty much a seasoned pro by now at auditions what with the 5 he has already under his belt.

Following his audition, we're heading up to IKEA & Cheesecake Factory in Charlotte for my birthday celebration extravaganza. I am so excited about this! These 2 places are probably on my top 10 of most favorite places EVER... like next to Disney World. I have no idea what on Earth I need more of ... ever since we've moved here we have transformed our cute little duplex to a pretty chic pad. Chris and I love decorating. Our (well, my) new favorite thing to do is organizing... so I'm thinking some storage bins and containers (see container) are in for purchasing and then there is really cool lamp I've been eye balling since our last IKEA trip to Atlanta in November (see lamp).

So that's about all that is going on. I shall retire to the sofa now where Chris will perform his nightly hair tickling duties. Hehe. Buuuuuuut, I have to say... now that Chris has long hair... I've had to pay my dues in hair tickling time too!

We'll keep ya posted on acceptance stuff as it comes. Please keep us in your prayers for assistantships/scholarships. Also, please keep Chris in your prayers as he struggles with the inevitable decision to purchase his lonely wife a labradoodle or golden doodle or English bulldog or what have you.

Haha, ya'll know I'm just kidding... but not really... Chris *uh hmmmm... let me clear my throat*

That's right folks!

University of Tenn will be in the line-up for the decision making process. We found out about this school a while ago - they're very eager to have Chris. The faculty there are really nice & enthusiastic. The city is a lot like Columbia, but lots of OT jobs!

Most recently, we found out Chris was accepted to Penn State University in University Park, PA (aka... middle of NO WHERE) - but cool thing is... there is a skii resort like 10 minutes from campus. Maybe I'll finally get to learn and Chris will finally get to put his boots on and use his snowboard (without injuries!).

That's it for now! Happy TUESDAY & stay warm if your in Cola-town. Chris has agreed to be a co-author of the blog... so maybe we'll get him on here to say a few words. ;-)

First Time.

So. We started a blog. Never thought I'd go here again. I (Becky) had one previously failed attempt for a blog. But, let's face it, these things can be pretty darn handy when it comes down to communicating to the masses about little things that sometimes seem not that important OR a quick thing to communicate pretty BIG things. We promise we won't belittle you to only blog updates. Just because we're bloggin' doesn't mean we won't come a knockin' or callin'. Did that sound South Carolina enough for you?

Here's the latest "down low". I (Becky) stole the title off of DGW, Know About It! from Darius Goes West because I lack in creativity today. Which by the way - is a fantastic movie, and if you haven't seen it... just go buy it... it will contribute $17 to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Point aside. We have a whole heck of a lot of stuff going on in our lives. And we needed an avenue to explain the changes that may result from the following:

A.) Becky started a really cool job as an occupational therapist at the VA Hospital.
B.) Chris quit his job as bank teller & become not ONLY part-time musician but full-time!
C.) Chris & Becky figured out they were poor.
D.) Chris & Becky prayed their fannies off.
E.) Chris decided in order to make more $$ as a musician he needs more education.
F.) Chris applied to grad school.
G.) Chris went on a grand American tour for ~ 3 weeks to audition.
H.) Becky missed Chris a lot.
I.) Chris and Becky are now waiting to hear where he will go to grad school.

So maybe here in the next few weeks we'll have a J-Z to offer. And, if all fails, and nobody reads, it will be an excellent way to hash out our thoughts and experiences.
