This is truly my favorite time of year in New York City. Nights are cool and we are sleeping with out windows open every night. Sweaters are coming out of the closet, and though the leaves aren't changing in the city quite yet, you can just tell that at any moment they are going to shift from green to gold. The apples in the market are fantastic, and all the candles in our house smell like cinnamon. It is an amazing time to be in the city.
Kevin is back in his normal grad school classes after a summer full of intensives. He's taking highly fascinating classes...Global Economics and Technology Innovation and New Product Development. I can barely type it without yawning. But he's enjoying it, which is what matters. I am going to auditions several times a week, which remains a simultaneously interesting and frustrating experience. Let's just say the Lord is using this experience to teach me more lessons then I have time to talk about here...not the least of which is patience. For instance, yesterday I auditioned to be a singing Christmas Tree at Macy's during the holidays this year, which was fun. Today, on the other hand, I arrived at 8:30 a.m. to sign-up for an audition, only to find out that all of the 5 minute time slots from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. were filled, and I was number 100 on the alternate list. Needless to say, I didn't stick around. Oh well, I just keep pounding the pavement, pouring myself out in 16 bar increments, and trusting in God's perfect plan.
Anyway, thought I'd throw out a quick update since it had been awhile. I hope this finds everyone well, and I hope you're feeling autumn in the air where you are, too!
