holiday stuff

hi ya'll. it's joy! i'm currently at silverbrook. we just made the exchange gift list for christmas. makes me excited to see everyone. i got into town yesterday and i've been nothing but cold and bored here since i've been back. it's a little hard to wind down from the craziness of school. i'll be here until january 5th-ish, so i have plenty of time to relax. oh, i'm also going to arizona from dec. 14th until the 18th to visit my best friend adrien, so that's exciting. i hope everyone is doing well!

anyway, i'm bored so i thought i'd share some random, recent pictures:

here's our christmas tree this year:

Hi family!

It's Ging sitting here at work with nothing to do. My task list is very short these days, with the holidays coming up and the architects constantly being at meetings (and you can only straighten out the product sample library so many times). I was just wanting to let you all know that I will be home on the 21st of December, and will be there for tow weeks until January 6th (yay!). I'm actually flying into O'Hare airport in Chicago, where Uncle Sal will be for store business, and he, Jojo (who will be flying in from Boston), and I will drive back to Louisville together.

Ive also been keeping busy here. Did a handful of voice-overs, recorded a couple of new musicals for The Children's Theatre Company, and will possibly be in the studio again before I leave for an audio-book recording for the same company. Then there's work, auditions-though not that many right now , and lots of christmas get-togethers and outings. But, more than anything, I am anticipating being home.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday season so far - I can't wait to see you all!
