Disney on ice & first day of school

Sitting in my first class and blogging during first break.
Early saturday morning class would usually put me in a poopoo mood BUT wait, I get to play with photoshop for four hours? YES PLEASE!

My instructor so far is pretty chill and Im not too scared to miss the two saturdays I have photo-sessions booked up for February and March.

Asside from that, Im also super chipper that Im near Coffee Bean! My house is so far from CB that I hardly ever go but now that school is just a few minutes away- its Tea time for Jesi!

FUN UPDATE:
TOY STORY 3 Disney on ice Last night!

Went with Vanessa, Katy Beth & Lisa. It was actually more fun than I expected and super adorable.

My nephew and sister were there and we snuck down to some empty seats near them. (We're such rebels!)

Ken & Barbie were hillarious- Katy Beth needs to convince Richard to be Ken for Halloween.

Rex was probably my favorite.
His little arms were so funny.

Although we did find the snow cone cups to be rather disturbing.

They were the characters heads and you ate the ice like it was their rainbow colored brains.

Take 4 girls, reverting back to childhood, hopped up on sugar & having way too much fun with Katy Beth's door locks in her car and you have yourself a fun -blogworthy- night!



New Beginnings

I think the gray clouds have parted to let some sunlight in.
I made the decision to stay home and go to school for graphic design.

My dad and I spoke and when I said I didnt think I wanted to study art and just get a quick degree in some other field, he seemed offended. My father is an artist as well and I'm the only one of my siblings who inherited that talent. He didn't want to see me waste it. Which he's right.

Ive taken for granted a talent I was blessed with that I was born with. Its not something you can learn.

I chose graphic design because it has so much freedom. I can still do the fine art aspects that I love, ie. painting and drawing. Then on top of those things add the digital element which open doors to even more possibilities.

I am so excited for this new chapter in my life, no matter how late it came.
Thanks to my friends at AI, Katy Beth & Ryan. They are helping so much move this all along quickly for me.

And most importantly, to my husband. Who gave me the biggest hug & kiss, telling me how proud he is of me to be finally reaching for my goals. ( Not even shedding a single drop of sweat when the price of tuition came up)
