Moving! UGH!

So we have been home from vacation just a few days and dove head first into packing up our house to move into a rental.  The boys and Gene are not at all thrilled about it but I can see it as just "temporary" and I am willing to do that to have time to find the right house.  And it just so happens that tonight we did put in a bid on a new home.  We found one we both like alot.  Of course there is a lot that needs to be done such as landscaping and some window coverings but all in all it is very nice AND brand new.  Gotta love a house no one has lived in before.  So we will see.  Truly I am not getting nervous or anxious about finding a house.  I believe the right house for us is out there and God will bring us to the right one.  So I just relax and let it go and focus on what I can focus on.

Speaking of that I am heading back to cycle class tomorrow.  This should be interesting.  I must get myself back on a regimen which shows that anyone can get throw off track and then you simple redefine your goals and get right back to it.  I am on the fence if I will compete again this year.  Perhaps in November however I am not pushing that as well.  My body and mind have been through a lot this last year and it was just a year ago I was in the final stretch for the first of 3 competitions.  I must admit the thing drawing me back is the great women I had the pleasure to meet.  It is such a wonderful atmosphere of strong and happy women. I encourage anyone remotely interested to try it.

Today was a good day for I was at Cox communications shooting an infomercial with my friend Bob Rue and Dr. Sam Walters.  We had a great time together and of course any time in front of the camera is a good day.  My goals are to be able to support myself just acting some way whether it is as a voice or on air talent.  I would really love to lend my voice to an animated movie or video.  That is my focus for my career right now.  I want to be a fish or dog or bear or something, maybe a leopard.  The other focus is to be in an action movie.  Doing physical stuff is the best!

Well it is time to hit the pillows so I can get up for cycle class.  Remember get your 8 hours of sleep to keep the weight off!

In health,
Laura

Sold Our House!!

Well here it is JULY! Can't believe it.  Well I guess I can since it is a bazillion degrees outside.  The summer months are always a little depressing for me living in AZ.  It is so unbearably hot that nowhere is comfortable.  I have been losing all kinds of water weight sitting and watching my son's baseball games.  The house is all dark to try and keep it cool.  You need gloves to open doors or touch your steering wheel that is about what it is like here right now.    The good news about July is that in just under a week we leave for Alabama to visit my brother and his family.  I have 2 nieces there Kaitlin and Jenna who I have not seen in forever.  So it will be so much fun to get away and have new scenery although the hottness factor will still be in full swing and added to that humidity.  I am still looking forward to it immensely.

Acting and voice work have been exciting for me this month which is unusual.  I have many jobs scheduled for this month before and after my trip.  That is a tremendous blessing.  Usually work tanks in the summer as no one wants to film here during the hot months.

And as I mentioned in the title we sold our house.  We never imagined it would go that quickly.  Now the search is on for a new home.  We look today so here's hoping we find the right one.  Packing is not my favorite thing but for more space I will do it.

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July.  Be safe.

peace,
Laura
