This picture makes me happy. Today is about half as good as the day we got married. We just helped Drew's mom close on a house in Chandler, I'm getting ready for school, following my dream writing and making as many steps as possible to reach all the amazing dreams I've been thinking about for my entire 26.9 years. Oh yeah, and March (my power month) is coming!! I'll be 27 in 28 days, my husband will be 30 in 32 days, and we're going to Vegas baby :D So bring it on life...maybe not everything all at once, but I know I can handle whatever comes our way this month. Now, I just need to find a little more time to embrace my creativity in between all of the other things I'm working on. Off I go now! My herbs are almost dry, I have apples to cut and prep, and appliance shopping to do with mama Liz. Oh, and happy hour is at 4.

Exploring career opportunities...from my laptop

I'm official! I had an article that I WROTE all by myself published on something other than my blog or Facebook (click here). It may not be the most lucrative part of my career yet but my dream is on it's way to coming true. The best part about having something of mine published is the part where I feel like my life is finally going in the right direction, minus a few bumps and dead ends for a change. Don't get me wrong, I get the importance of the wrong turns and fender benders along the way, but it's so much easier to breathe and enjoy my little successes when I'm not caught in the hurricane force crosswinds life has a tendency to offer.
