On Saturday Michael and I went to the Rockwall Animal Shelter and picked up a kitty :) His name is Jack and he is a crazy little nutso. He is SO adorable though.
He loves boxes... what cat doesn't?
The first day we had him, this is all he wanted to do:
But as the evening hours wore on, he got crazier and crazier! We have to get up with him at about 6am every morning because he gets so restless and noisy. I tell you, if you think you're ready for a child, I hope you've had a baby pet first. Even little kitties can be terrors when they want to. But he's worth it. He's so stinkin' cute.
Sunday morning, Michael took me to Lakepointe Church in Rockwall. I've been excited to go, because it's a big, pretty church from the outside. And on the inside, whew it's even bigger! It was the first time I felt like a little fish in a big pond. In Stillwater, if you go to church, even a big one like LifeChurch, you're bound to see several people you know. I knew no one. The message was great and I'm really glad we went, but wow. I was a little overwhelmed. Later that day our friends Jared and Amanda called and asked if we wanted to drive over to Frisco with them and walk around the Ikea. We were feeling a little lazy but had never been to an Ikea, so we went. It was so much fun! It was like a never-ending, two story store the size of a mall! We had a blast. On our way back into Rockwall, we stopped in Garland at the Flying Saucer, their favorite bar/restaurant. I'd never been, but they go pretty often so I was excited to see it. It was so awesome! They have over 200 beers, and the walls are glass so you can see right out to the lake! This was our view at dinner:
I really like Jared and Amanda. They makes us get off our butts and try new things!
Yesterday morning I had my second interview with Dallas Theater Center. It went really well! My interviewer and I chatted for about 20 minutes and then she gave me a tour of the theater. I would really love to work there! But we'll see. I haven't heard anything yet. Then last night I went to an audition in Plano. It went pretty well. I'm getting REALLY restless without a job. I almost went out and applied for jobs at restaurants and stores today, but I didn't. I'm really hoping I get the DTC job, or cast in one of the plays I've auditioned for recently. Can't wait forever though, commuting to interviews and auditions is expensive!
Last night on my way home from Plano I got lost. I was so frustrated and I started to get angry and weepy. I hate not being able to find my way around naturally. It was the second time I felt like a little fish! All these towns around the Dallas area mesh into one, you can hardly tell when you're leaving one and entering another! So I got really confused and was in the car about 30 minutes longer than I needed to be. I don't like that everywhere I go I rely on mapquest directions or my GPS. I miss always knowing where I am, and I miss my family and friends! And sitting home all day doesn't help, it just gives me time to feel sorry for myself. But hey, no one ever said this was going to be easy. I DO love living with Michael, and I love Dallas. It will all work out.
This weekend, Michael and I are going home for the first OSU game! I'm so excited to see my family and Maggi!! I'm such a baby. It's been less than a week and I already can't wait to visit. But hopefully a visit home will cure the homesickness for a while :) and maybe when I come back I'll have a job waiting for me! Here's to thinking positively. Gotta go now, Jack is trying to steal all my money.
Have a good one!
