Random Little Stuff

Well, our Lifegroup get-to-know-you did go really well, there were 6 of us all together. Adam, me, Daniel ( a 22 year-old dental student), Sarah (a 24 year-old marketing specialist for an insurance company), Katie (a 24 year-old dental assistant), and Erin (a 23 year-old who, like me, is looking). We all hung out talking about life and what our plans for the lifegroup are, etc. It was a good time. We're pretty sure we'll have another girl, an 18 year-old who's a very new Christian. Ideally, we'd also like to have another single guy and another married couple, just to maintain a balance of participants. Adam has a few people in mind, but has yet to be presented with the opportunity to connect with them.

This morning, I had a second interview to become a bridal consultant for Charlotte's Weddings, here in Beaverton. I like the company, and I think the job would be a lot of fun. I understand that it is still sales, which I'm not awesome at, but at least CW is the type of place that I feel like I could really invest myself in, and maybe get better at the sales part. I don't really know how I feel about this second interview, but I said the same thing after the first interview and then wound up getting a second one, so who knows! If I get the job, I should know by the end of this week and would start training on Dec 7. Please keep the whole situation in your prayers, that I find something different and awesome, or that God changes my heart and makes me happy where I am.

In theatre stuff, I went to the qualifying round of auditions for the Portland Area Theatre Alliance (PATA) last Monday. I passed just fine, which means that on Dec 1, I can sign up for a slot in the city-wide PATA auditions in January. I did get some great feedback from the panel in the qualifying auditions as well, they loved my pieces and made some reccomendations on changes in my resume, etc (I HAVE to get better headshots, though who knows where the time/money for that is going to come from. Also, if I'm going to keep my hair red, I need to change that on my resume). So yeah, that was a fun experience.

On Thursday, for Thanksgiving, we're going with Renjy and Katy to Katy's grandparents' house for dinner. Originally Katy was going to host, but when that got switched, she said her grandparents would still love to have us. We've hung out with both of Katy's brothers before and like them, and met her dad a couple of times, so we're not walking into a house of complete strangers, but it'll still be interesting in a this-is-awkward kind of way. As usual, Adam is providing the Tofurkey for himself, me, Katy, and anyone else brave enough to have a go at it. He's also going to borrow a couple of cambro's of coffee from Starbucks. I think I'm going to attempt Marti's sugar cookies, because I have everything for them, and I'm too scared to try cinnamon rolls again. They intimidate me.
