Hi, everybody. I'm sorry I neglected to update even though I got home on Wednesday and today is Thursday. I've been in a strange mood I guess. I asked myself the other day what I was doing with my life, and it was scary because I didn't know what I was doing. I mean, I know I want to be a professional actress, but what until then? I need to start making money and living in the real world. I need to learn how to pay for my own expenses. So, yesterday, Thursday morning, I got out of bed, got dressed, and went and applied for about 8 different jobs. I felt accomplished. 

I also finally finished alll my christmas shopping yesterday, and that's another big relief. Tyler bought the ENTIRE third season of Smallville at Zia. Aaaaah we stayed up until 1:30 watching the fantasimo episodes. Wow oh wow. Yes, Kelsey, now you have to come over and watch Smallville with me.

Today I went and grocery shopped all by myself for Christmas dinner and breakfast. It was super fun. Yep. Super fun.

ooh, gotta go for James Bond is on Channel 25 and I need to go watch that now. so bye.

love to all and to all goodbye.

p.s. i also hope that everybody had a fantastic weekend what with the lacrosse game and cotillion. I want to hear all about it! Let's all get together, shall we?

I want to be in the 40's. And I want a sailor.

Well, here I am in beautiful Colorado. My view out the window is stunning. I am at the bride's family's house. They are on top of a big  hill, and as I look into the valley below I see a thick blanket of snow caking the entire landscape. There are mountains and evergreen trees in the distance. The cars below look like hot wheels or tonka toys. Everybody else is probably at the lacrosse game right now, I reckon..

We decorated the clubhouse for the reception this morning. It looks really beautiful.

The drive to Colorado took forever. we had a delay, and we had to fix the hood of our car in anthem. It took 10 hours to get here, and we stayed in a cozy three-story bed and breakfast. Everyone here knows each other.

Tonight is the rehearsal dinner, but only family and members of the actual 'procession' can attend. So the rest of the party is at the bride's house (whose name is Cherie) and we are about to have our own dinner.

Well, I sorely miss everyone and Arizona, and I sincerely hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their christmas break.

love,

ellyn
