We have been so busy lately. Eric started a new job in the Tulsa area and has been driving back and forth most days. We but the house on the market the first part of November and a week ago friday we signed a contract with some people. My last semester at MSSU wound down without any exciting events other than finals being cancelled due to the weather we have had lately. Lots of large tree limbs are all over the place, and we are going to be busy cleaning up the debris. A friend and I were talking about writing on our blogs and I realized just how long it has been since I wrote here last. When we get settled in the Tulsa area, I plan on writing alot more and posting more photos of either work I have been doing or just images I have taken.
This photo I submitted for a photo contest, along with several others. I won't hear back on that until at least January, and that will just be if i'm a finalist. The big winners won't be announced until Feburary, but be sure that I will let you know if I am one of them! I will try to publish more often, even if no one is reading this anymore.

Field trip

I took Blake to the George Washington Carver Park wednesday and had a good time. We hardly get to be together just the two of us, so it was nice to spend quality time with him. He didn't think he had been there before, but once we got there he decided he remembered coming, but a long time ago.



We walked the trails, took lots of pictures. We went inside the house that is still there from Moses Carver, owner of George W Carver in his youth. There was a pretty water area, and Blake wanted to get close to see if there were any fish, but I didn't let him stand there long.


I had a good time with Blake, and I really look forward to our next alone time together.

One semester ends and another begins

I am done with the spring semester, but beginning the summer session on Monday. I'm taking a history class, which in a strange way I am looking forward to. I do like to read, when I make time for it, and I am fascinated by events in history and archeology. For a while, my mother and I were researching our ancestry, but we haven't really done that in years, which is sad, because we were really getting into it. I guess it kind of wayned when I went back to school, I just didn't have the time to really get into much anymore. Maybe when I am done with school I can dive back into that again.


There isn't really that much going on to talk about right now. I have been working on a new afghan and hope to have it done before we go to West Virginia this summer. We will be celebrating out 10 year anniversary!! Woot.... I'm so happy I have found such a wonderful man in my life, and an awesome dad for our kids.

Busy busy busy

This that time of the year again when school is in crunch mode. Wednesday I was at the school from 8 am till after 11 pm. Once I got home though, I wasn't even able to get to bed. I had to take my nightly bath and then finish laying out my graphic design project that was due the next morning. *groan* That was such an exhausting day!! The good news is I got the project done, the not so good news is I wasn't completely happy with it. But I guess it will have to do for now. I also had a graphic history test that morning. I was having trouble concentrating and keeping my mind and eyes from fogging over. I'll try to post a picture of the project at a later time. The one above is just one of the many photos we took that night. Thank you Miranda *my sis in law* for being my model! If you want to view some more of the photos I took for the project, you can look at my flicker account and get an idea of what some of it looked like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brownhairedpookie/

My drawing class is not so bad. I was really freaked about it in the beginning, but I'm actually enjoying it now. I have been practicing and I can really tell I have gotten better. I still have alot to learn, but with more practice, time and patience, I will improve even more, I'm sure of it.

My friend Janie has been discussing dream journaling on her blog *she's in my link list if you want to check it out*. I used to journal all the time. Not just about dreams though. I think its a wonderful thing to do, although I have not done it hardly at all in the last fews years, tsk tsk. I journaled alot when I was going through tough times in life. My childhood and youth were tough, and I made some major mistakes in my life, but in the end, even those mistakes became and blessing to me in so many ways. It made me who I am, made me strong, and made me face life challenges head on. Without those hardships and trials, I would not be the strong woman I feel I am today. I would probably roll over and let everyone step on me. I'm a very giving person, caring, and passionate. That is a great thing, except when people take advantage of that. I don't mind helping people, until they hurt me. Once someone hurts me, you better step aside, because it isn't a pretty sight.....

Well i've bored everyone enough for now. I promise, I will try to write here more often! *and post more images*

Wow, so it's been a long time since I posted last I guess.

I finished last semester with 3 A's and 1 B. I made the Dean's Honor Roll. That is a first for me and I'm very happy with that accomplishment.

This semester I am carrying 15 hour load and keeping very busy. I have: Life Drawing, Graphic Comm 2, basic form, Graphics history, and spanish 2. Whew!

I will be posting some new pictures that I have taken over the last several months and some of my work from school.

I will be doing contract work with a local church each week building their bulletin for each week's service. I'm very excited about that and eager to get it started.

More later, I have to go to a doctors appointment now.
