Sneak Peek

I have a new project that I am working on in which I will not say the details until I know it's something that will happen and well on it's way of becoming something. But here is somewhat of a preview of what I am doing with my life right now.

Etsy

I found this website that sells Art. It's called Etsy. If you click on the buy section you can search throughout all the art that they sell. It's a great place for beginning artist to get their stuff out there to be seen. All of the art is at a reasonable price because nobody is that well known. It's high quality/very well made and the pictures below were selling for @ $15 for a print in which some are one print only. There are other types of art too besides photographs. They have collages, mixed media, drawings, paintings and ect.

To me it seems hard to find a picture that accurately displays the beauty of clouds and think that this is a pretty good picture of one. This person took the picture and developed the picture in a darkroom, which is rare for a color photo to be hand developed.

I saw this picture and loved it. Of course it's a cliche "vintage" picture and this style has been over done, but I really like it. I remember loving to go on the swings at the park and that butterfly feeling in my stomach it would give me. The dangling legs crack me up.

Love the stark contrast between the whites and blacks. I miss playing hop-scotch. There would be periods of time that me and my sisters would have hop-scotch marathons and then we would get sick of it. Then a few days later we would pick it back up again... haha.

I thought this was a cute picture. This is one strong kid if you really think about it. Look at all those fish compared to her size.

Pretty kitty!

Life as I know it

Realizing I haven't posted in awhile (and not really caring) and knowing I have to stay here at the house until my new mattress gets here (EXCITING!!) I figured I would let you all (all you billions of people that read this) know what all has happened since..... July 2nd? yes.

Well, I worked at a Christian camp called Pine Cove. Best summer ever. Yet hardest summer ever. I was one of the Health Assistants (are you supposed to capitalize job titles??) and it was a great job. Don't ask me how I got that job seeing how I'm not in anything medical, except the fact that I really enjoy eating healthy. There is so much that I learned there and just grew as a person spiritually that it is too much and too personal to put in a blog. The main thing I learned there was how important community is and who God puts in your life to benefit how you grow spiritually. We need to seek out people who help us grow as Christians and don't make us stumble. Although, sometimes it is we ourselves that make us stumble and that is why it is so important to have that community to help keep us on track.

Side note: I don't think it is wrong or bad to hangout with people who are not Christians or don't believe the same things as you do. In fact we are called to minister to those who don't know Him and to love people for who they are. Although, if that person is keeping you from knowing the God who created you and is actually making you go backwards in your walk with Him, THAT is when we as Christians need to check and delete who we hangout with.

Other things in the life of....

I live in Charleston now!! I have no money and I'm looking for a job. :)

After camp which was the 16th of August (Sunday) I came back "home" (Alabaster) stayed a night and then went down to visit my mom in Fairhope. She was a school teaching most of the day everyday so I went to the beach a couple of days by myself (good relax time) and also looked for a bed to order on the internet (which is sitting here now beautifully waiting on it's mattress as I type). Then that Friday drove to Tuscaloosa to visit friends and go to a wedding that Saturday. The wedding was beautiful and I met a handsome man that was easy to carry on a convo with. 

                This is me with the beautiful Mrs. John Randall. Congrats Meagan and John!

Then that Sunday I drove back to Alabaster where all my belongings were and sifted through my stuff to see what all I wanted to take with me or leave. Just the bare essentials ya know? All I took was what could fit in my car. Nothing else. Let's just say I couldn't see out on the sides of my car and changing lanes was a difficult process during a 7 hour drive. It was probably illegal how packed my car was, but oh well I arrived safe! Monday is when I drove to Charleston, SC. and I've been here a little over a week. I'm now in the process of finding a job and looking for apprenticeships, getting my driver's license and car tag all squared away. That has been a PAIN!! 

Now I'm sitting here waiting on my mattress to get here which is supposed to be here between 10am and 2pm. Then I'm going to walk the streets of downtown going into more places to apply for jobs. I'm also living off of Naked protein and juice drinks for the time being.

THIS is Life.
