Weekly Kid Update!

I figure I might as well give y'all a weekly update on Tori and Sammee's adventures on the coasts of our great nation.

First, Sammee. She landed in NYC on schedule and with no problems Saturday night. She had her first cab ride to her new apartment in Brooklyn. She already has several "Aunts" and "Uncles" in the city (thanks, Rich and Becca)! She and Katelyn, her best friend, have been taking in the city, going on job interviews, and finding friends from their past. So far in her first week, Sam has had 3 interviews already! 2 for barista jobs in Manhattan, and one Stage Managing job! She has a second interview for one of the barista jobs on Monday. And, the director she interviewed with is her first real theatre connection in New York! And it's not one of her mom's friends! Of course, my friend Bobi and I are still waiting to see her on the Plaza at the Today show. Hint, hint, Sammee!

Now, Tori. Last week she found out that she had lost her job at the campus bookstore. She was devastated! But she took off to Portland ready to conquer the world! She had applied at a Starbucks near her house, but they aren't hiring. The manager sent all of her info to another store a couple blocks away. Meanwhile, the other managers at the bookstore are hounding the manager who gave away all of Tori's hours to give them back to her. That says a lot about my girl's work ethic and how impressive she is! She has also applied to be an acting/improv teacher and an after school tutor! This girl will be making money hand over fist in no time!

Kat is plugging along with school. Next week we will get back to bowling and she will start the job hunt too. It just makes me all kinds of happy that I instilled a good work ethic in all 3 of them. That means I done good.

Stay tuned for more updates and adventures! I will try to post every Saturday.
