Wow, um, so my last post was in March earlier this year....so sad!

There is much to update, as I have been away for so long...I have missed my artistic outlet all these months, but I hope maybe to slowly ease back into it! Cleaning out my message center was a chore in itself, but thank you for all the continuing support even while I was gone!

Ok: so, in the time I was gone, I:

~ finished my portfolio that weighs like, 40 pounds, which in turn earned me my masters degree. I am a real life certified school counselor. Yey me!

~ got a job. I am a part-time school counselor in a K-6 elementary school in WA state. Considering the job market (for education especially) this last year here, this is actually a very lucky thing. It was no easy feat.

~ turned 25. Ugh....quarter of a century old.....don't know how I feel about that. Whatever, it happens.

~ was surprised to get a Macbook Pro for my birthday, so I am now a Mac user, even though I swore I would always be a PC. I have some things to get used to, and I haven't tried doing anything photography-related yet on it, like all my editing I did, I would use Photoshop Elements and I don't know if that will work, or if the Mac's programs will be good enough....kind of nervous as to what I should use. Any advice is appreciated. Otherwise, I am loving the Mac....but I will always have madd luv for my Dell, hehe....

I have a very busy schedule as I work a second part-time job when I am not at my school, but I am loving it all. Even though it's exhausting, and I don't really get a full 2-day weekend in a week, I love what I am doing and I'm happy. I am especially loving NOT having homework or chapters and chapters of reading for classes anymore! What a lovely feeling to just wake up, go to work, go to work at my second job, and sleep and do it all over again, hehe....

Well, as I said above, once I transfer my photos to my new computer, I hope to start posting some pieces again. Although I am still super busy, I hope to find more time to get back into photography, I NEED my creative outlet!

Thanks again to those of you who support me, my art, and those who actually read this update. I appreciate it!
