Giving thanks.


I knew coming home for the first time since moving out was going to be an experience. One, to be honest, I feared. It was a weekend full of emotions; Laughter, tears, frustration and bliss. Within three days I had many reunions, many hugs, home videos, home cooked meals and as always a little shopping. Life is so much more at ease here. This is home. But easy isn't always right. Comfort isn't always where you are supposed to be. I'm determined to show that little girl in the home movies we watched, she can achieve her dreams. I'm determined to make leaving all of this worth it. I'm determined to get the one thing I've wanted my entire life. Success.

Obstacles are there to challenge you, not stop you.

Hate on me - Jill Scott


I have had several messages now asking what my "exciting new" was. I didn't post it that night because I started to realize I kept talking about my jobs. And I don't want this to come across as me bragging about the things I'm booking. I post about them for my friends and family and those who are interested to hear about it. Not as a way of my putting myself on a pedestal, at all. I would still post every night jobs or not.
But for some I can imagine I would look that way. I would like to make it clear that is not my intension. There will be haters. I understand that. Especially in this industry. And especially when your from a small town of tight knit people and your trying to break into this industry. I am not going to come back and think I am some celebrity. As my agent put it, this is one more step up the ladder helping me. But I have a long way to go. I may never get there. But I understand that. And these jobs, I post about them for you to hear about my day, not for me to say "oh hey look what I'm doing now aren't I wonderful" there is a difference. I wanted to make that clear.
Thanks
But first, my day. It was good, I basically did the exact same thing as the last time I did the fake ceremony show. Hair was ridiculous. Make-up was worse. (like orange lip stick honestly people? and no they weren't trying to be couture) But it was fun. Very long. We had like 3 hours in between shows so I brought my travel pillow and slept. it was nice other then the fact I threw out my neck in the process.
On our way back my homesickness hit me like a wave again. I felt terrible. I just wanted to lay in my bed and look at old pictures on my laptop. But then, the Russians invited me to a Mcdonalds run for a late dinner. I was so happy that 1) they included me and 2) It would get my mind off my loneliness. And of course good ol' Dons did the trick.
Tomorrow I have a test shoot on the beach, I'm pretty excited. I have been craving a day at the beach and even though this will be much different then home maybe it will kill a bit of my desire.
So exciting news time?
Well there is 2 parts, one isn't as exciting but I just didn't post about it. So that day, I got the car show casting. Which will be super fun! Stand by a beautiful car for people? Sounds good to me! That job is on Thursday.
And.. drum roll..
I got the Olympus Ad! Which is why I didn't go to my Canon call back because 2 camera companies wouldn't use the same girl for their ads. It's my first big ad I have ever gotten so I'm super excited. They decided right then and there because of my other call back (which I think gave me an upper hand, being in demand always seems to work and the fact I got along with everyone so well. I knew I made an impression) But that's not until August. But more exciting part about that is I get to fly to a tropical Island for it. I forget the name of it but I do know it's a 2 hour flight and there always seems to be wars over it (according to my agent) I didn't think I would get a job like that while being here. I figured my hair show with A*pish would be the biggest thing and the rest just small shows like I have been doing. Which I'm fine with, I love them. But it is a good feeling to get this ad.
Oh and I'd just like to say, anyone who is reading this should send me a message updating me on their summer. I haven't had as many the last few days and I don't like it. I have boring nights people (hence this blog) I need entertainment.
Please and Thank-you!
