Yay I've finally gotten around to it!! all in all though I can only expect like only one of all you my friends to actually read this. And that one knows who she is *I mean cough cough he or she is*. And to those who do, I really do thank thee all. I really do.

Anyvays.

So I am going to college. math is killing me. And it's killing my dreams of being an animator. I don't know really what's going to happen.... I am seriously considering going back to that private studio school of arts that I was going to a year ago in Provo. However this new job I got is conflicting with that as well. I am now a technician at a company called NCR and it's freakin hard. I work with a whole lot of computer programs and equipment and monitor technicians all over the world. NCR is a global company that's been around for over 100 years servicing technology to all sorts of companies ie: Target, Victoria's Secret, etc etc. Seeing as I currently live right behind the Walmart headquarters in Bentonville AR, the NCR here unsurprisingly is comprised solely of equipment and technicians to service, you guessed it, Walmart. So my job is to keep track of all the technology issues, equip. etc etc for all the walmarts all over the world. Yeah... it's not easy.... and yes... it pays very well. For a nineteen year old at least. I'm not too sure I'd want it if I was a 45-year old mother....

ANYWAYS back on track.
JOHN IS HERE!!!! We FINALLY found him an apartment AND a job!!!! next thing is furniture, and a bed, and a car, and something to entertain him while I'm at work.... he's currently sleeping on the floor and walking everywhere. But it's ok, it's a good humbling experience until he can afford those things. He got a job at Walmart as an ICS (inventory control specialist) and just started. Amazingly enough, both of our schedules are almost exactly the same, so blessedly we can still be with each other. He's almost done reading the BOM (people who share my faith should know what that is ) he's been studying hard and is really understanding the Gospel to it's fullest. Plus he's really learning his responsibilities as a priesthood holder, and is trying to live up to it's principles. I'm so amazingly proud of him. As soon as my brother BJ comes here to visit, he will be baptized and it will be a remarkable occasion that we just cannot wait to happen.

Umm let's see what else....
OH, someday I'll have art again on this site.... I have definitely drawn a lot, mostly caricatures though. I've had a lot of business with that here. All sorts of people wanting drawings. I've drawn every one of the missionaries in this field here (they have a discount of course) I've drawn a whole staff of waiters at a local restaurant, countless numbers of children and couples... It's a really good business, I've easily made around 1k with just that. However I've easily spent about that much too just to get the materials and the booth spaces. So that's the biggest catch to that business which is why I have a job that supplies a steady income now. But to go back to waht I was originally saying, ART WILL COME SOON. Yes it's a very vague time limit but unfortunately it's all I can provide for the time being

I have missed some birthdays of some very beloved friends, I publicly announce my dearest apologies to Anna and Elvis and I sincerely wish you a VERY happy birthday!!! I hate myself for being so behind on those things. It would be my deepest pleasure however to give you both a caricature for your birthday, I'll note you both on further info

Besides all this, I just wanna say, HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN! John and I were Jack and Sally Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. I hand-sewed both of our costumes and he did the face painting. We went down to all the college parties and had about 50 pictures taken of us lol I will post some pics soon

And I think that's everything in an EXTREMELY tight nutshell....... And once again, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
