Happy Mom

He's home!

The plane arrived a half an hour early, leaving my 14 year old lad standing in the appointed meeting-spot, just as he had been instructed - one small detail of a bevy of details that he was required to carry out over the past two weeks - aka: All Alone in LA.

Of course, that is not exactly the case ~ after all, Grandpa helped him manuever the first three days; and several folks assisted by being a 'host home' . . . however, that does not diminish in our eyes the mature actions of this boy-turning-to-man.

Our son successfully accomplished the following:

• The negotiation of three airports, the details and complexities thereof
• He was a veritable GPS system for Grandpa for three days
• Negotiated the LA Public Library computer system to download and print a VIP last minute script
• Attended numerous auditions, fully prepared
• Landed a 'screen test,' as one of two being considered for a major network project
• Handled the emotional disappointment of not being selected with grace and great character
• Handled VIP papers and documents with utmost care, including a debit card and passport, resume's and headshots
• Maintained his personal belongings, including a PSP, a laptop, and a cell phone
• Behaved in very generous manner with his finances, graciously sharing of what he had to those either in need, or out of friendship, around him
• With servant heart, assisted in the care and keeping of his host homes' tidiness
• Did his own laundry
• Researched an unexpected necessary purchase online before entering a store, so as to receive the best deal for the best price
• Completed 'pick ups' on a film in progress
• Requested instructions for final review before coming home
• Behaved as a gentleman every step of the way

What Momma wouldn't be proud? :D
