thursday...almost friday

If you haven't had a chance to check out James' blog today you should....it's funny, especially if you know my history...

Yesterday there was a production company filming on our street for a high end commercial. They blocked off the whole area. I had to park a few blocks away. In the morning they teased us, eating their gormet breakfasts, as we walked the extra block on the way to my car. It was a pretty big crew with talent trucks, police officers directing traffic, and equipment. I thought we had a fairly quiet residential street, it probably was exactly what they were looking for. James watched part of the commercial shoot. They gave him a free toothbrush......I have no idea if this is normal :)

Today was a pretty good day. Work is moving right along, and I'm slowly getting more adjusted. There is still quite a lot to learn, and I keep reminding myself the need to soak everything in. I quite frequently jump in and start running. Which has it's benefits and negatives. I've learned over the years that taking the extra time to absorb the info is a big benefit. Once things get rolling, there is never enough time to go back for that time to absorb. So I'm trying and digging in piece by piece. I know it won't be long before I'm running full speed. Today I also found out the hotel arrangements for the trip to Vegas, and I'm so excited! I feel so honored for the opportunity to join the team in Vegas. We're staying at the Palazzo! It's connected to the Venetian and apparently the only rooms they have are suites. I looked at the rooms online last night and the room that is booked for me is larger in square feet than our current apartment! :) Not to mention the remote controlled blinds and the t.v. in the tub!!!! I'm flying out on Sunday and returnign home on Friday. James will be driving and joining me on Sunday. We are sure yet of his work schedule but he'll probably leave on Tuesday, so he can be ready for work on Wednesday. I'm excited that he is coming, who knows when we would have another time to visit Vegas? Sure it's not that far away but usually Vegas trips are a little more burden-some on the pockets.

After Vegas, James and I will get to spend some time with the Kanka family. His mom, dad, and sister will be coming in for a few days. We are so excited to see them and show them around the LA area!!! I know it's been hard on both of us not to have our families close by, so this visit will be a treat! Of course we will take plenty of pictures to post on our blogs!!!

Other than that there isn't too much new to report... Keep praying for me as I adjust to my new job and schedule. Pray for my work trip to Vegas and that I stay healthy, as I sometimes tend to get run down and sick when I travel. Also please pray for James and his job that he would have many opportunties to work and that he would make connections in the film industry. One more... please pray for us to get to know others in CA and to develop friendships. Thanks everyone for your prayers we definitely apprecaite them!!!
