Tiga's_mom Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm just so excited! I got a job touring around the US with a theatre company based out of NS, Canada. I guess I'm going to get to see a lot of the states, driving around in a company van. I'm pretty excited, yet scared. I'm sad that I'll be leaving my other half and Tiga for extended periods, but it's a really good opportunity for my career. I just found out today, and I needed to share with someone! It's all happening really fast, it's a bit overwhelming, but I'm happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Congrats! Just look at the time apart as a necessary evil to get your career off the ground. And maybe hubby and Tiga can meet up with you some places (you can be their excuse to see some of the US too!). Good luck! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks Julie. I know it's good for my career and it will all work out for the best in the end I'm sure. It's just happening really fast. I just got my passport pic taken, that made it seem more real somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miztiki Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wow! What an opportunity! How long will you be gone? How often? How much of the country do you expect to travel across? I'd love to drive all over the US! If you're ever in Houston then be sure to look me up now. Congrats on the career boost and enjoy your travels!

Tiga's_mom Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks guys! It is a really great opportunity for me. One that I've been waiting for for a long time. I think I'll be gone about 9 months all together and in the US for most of that. If I'm in Houston I'll be sure to look you up Miz. I'd love to meet you, Boy and Fynne! I should know more about where I'm going by the end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenlion Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wow, nine months is a long time. Difficult choice you had to make. I hope all works out for you. Don't forget to pack a picture of Tiga and DH of course. Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I know it's a long time and it wasn't an easy decision, but it was really the only choice that I had if I want to get my career moving so that we won't be in the poor house all the time. I'll be packing lots of pics, you can bet on that, and I'm thinking about getting a laptop. That will make it much easier and cheaper to keep in touch with home.

juliepoudrier Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well, it looks like you'll get to see a good bit of the US--that is if you aren't busy catching up on sleep on the tour bus! I hope you can make the most of any sightseeing opportunities you have. What a chance of a lifetime! Now I have to ask, what kind of theater group is it? J.

Tiga's_mom Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well looks like I'll be the primary driver, so I should get to see a lot of the roads anyway. lol! It's actually a children's theatre group. It's all puppetry for young audiences. The group tours US, Canada and are also currently in Japan. The director has worked with Jim Hensen. It's pretty neat stuff. If you want to take a look: www.mermaidtheatre.ns.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
