Getting Started

This time change is an adjustment so Im trying to adjust my post schedule so my east coasters aren't reading it at midnight :). Yesterday was a very busy day. We had a lot to do but managed to get it all done. First we had to get a work permit for Sydnei, then we went on a journey to find target. That was interesting, we asked "Siri" for directions (for those who aren't up on iphone technology its the iphone 4s voice application) and she was sending us on a wild goose chase but we finally found it. Then we headed off to her first audition. It was in Hollywood so the drive in was very cool. We had some serious issues once we got to the street the building was on. We could not find it to save our lives and driving in circles wasn't helping, so I finally just pulled over, then we looked up and found it across the street. We had to run across six lanes of traffic and I dropped my phone in the middle of street as a school bus was coming and no thats not a joke. Not to mention it was raining. Luckily I grabbed it before I got hit. The audition went well short sweet and to the point. Then Sydnei started her acting classes with Richard Brander. We only passed it once before we made it there. Today we found out Sydnei got an "avail" for her audition which means the casting director choose her to submit to the client and they wanted to make sure she was available to shoot! Today we also had to get her paperwork in order to enroll her in school after we got that done we headed to her talent agency Osbrink. She had some time to catch up with everyone there and they were all very excited to see her. We are praying that she gets the part and once we enroll her in school tomorrow we will be all done with the administrative part of the trip and can get to doing all the fun stuff!!!

We Made It

We finally made it and it was a full day with a lot of time on airplanes. We had our first celeb sighting on or plane from Dallas to LAX! Jessica Biel, unfortunately I was to busy trying to get Sydnei and I seats together to take a picture! Once we got settled at our friends home we found the crucial spots, In & Out burger and Starbucks! We also saw NBC, Warner Brothers, Disney, and universal studios. Needless to say Sydnei is in actress heaven. Tomorrow we will have to get a work permit, get enrolled in school and get to an audition, so it's going to be a busy day.

Preparing to board!

Just before midnight

So it's just before midnight and it has been a very long day. I think over the course of this week including today I have packed, unpacked and repacked about 50 times. But I believe I have finally succeded in having a checked bag under 50llbs. On a much more exciting note we found out that Sydnei will have her first audition on Monday. She recieved a straight to call backs nod which means she wasn't even at the first audition and got a call back. Needless to say she is very excited and proud of herself! It's a print job for Bratz dolls and it sounds like she would be great. Of course we will just have to see what God has planned. First step is making it to LA in the morning. 5:30am is quickly approaching so Im going to have to finsih watching Modern Family and Americian Idol on DVR asap! Tomorrow I'll have another post about our first official day in LALA land!

The adventure is set to begin

For the very few people who followed my blog before its been a while and my page has completely changed! That being said I will have way more things to talk about this time around. Starting with the reason for this adventure. My youngest sister Sydnei has been into acting for a while now and she is finally hitting LA to try and catch her big break. Since she is only 15 she can't go by herself so I sacrificially volunteered myself to accompany her on her 2 month journey for Pilot Season! We leave on Sunday and are looking forward to lots of fun experiences all of which will be captured here. So stayed tuned because two sassy sisters from Kansas/North Carolina in Los Angeles is sure to be entertaining.
