My journey from a Country Girl to a Southern Belle: I'm Headed to Juilliard...

I'm Headed to Juilliard...

This week has been a whirl wind, and I apologize for not posting. The Little Man started pre-school/daycare last week, and let's just say we caught everything in the first week. We had pink eye and a runny nose, fever and cough. Now that he is on the mend, maybe things will return to our constant state of normal craziness.

Last week, my daughter told one of my friends that she had her life planned. She wasn't going to Ole Miss, or even OSU, but that she had her heart set on Juilliard and she was going to major in theatrical performance and then try and work a few years on Broadway before relocating to L.A.

Try to swallow that one as a Mommy! Nothing like shooting for the stars! She loves all things theater, and I know that my Mom is smiling down on her from Heaven just wishing she could share this experience with her. You see, that was my Mother's love! She loved everything from singing and dancing to designing costumes!

I just think that my little baby girl is growing up. She is in the third grade and already has her mind made up about college! I guess it is good that she is setting lofty goals for herself. Quite frankly, as her Mommy, I am so very proud that she has discovered a true love and passion. I you know our little Pickle, you know that she is a loving, caring and super sweet child. She is also very outgoing and loves the stage! I don't think the child has a bashful bone in her body. We have never had to bribe her to perform, it truly is natural!

Thanks to the wonderful Panola Playhouse for nurturing her, encouraging her and loving her at such a tender, young age! She can't wait until her next show! She keeps asking me if we can audition for Disney, and I am not ready for that one!
