Long time, no speak..
So wow.. where have I been, huh? Man. Lots going on. Hmmm... lets see here...
Biggest thing as of here lately... my last day at the AAYFM is Friday, Feb 17th. I'm going to help Becca in her art gallery, Ingenuity 101 & hopefully I'll be looking back at this journal entry in the future thinking what a wonderful opportunity I took advantage of & be rolling in a bed of one hundred dollar bills while reading it. :)) Is that too much to ask?
I am so super stoked about going to work for Becca. It'll be me & her in her gallery, selling and situating, meeting new artists and trying new things. Wow. What a great deal. I hope it takes off, I hope we make tons of money and I hope we stay in business for a very long time. Becca is an amazing person with a wonderful spirit & the most positive energy I've ever been around. That stuffs contagious.
I'll miss all my friends here at AAYFM, not so much the job part but definitely the people. I've made some wonderful friends here & they've all helped me get on a closer walk with God. I only hope I can be a shining light to someone the way some of them were to me. But I'm not gonna lie... I've cried myself to sleep a night or two thinking of some of them & how I'm never going to spend as much time with them as I do now... Dominga, Velma, Traci & Tonneka. There's a few I'll definitely stay in close contact with but there are others I love so dearly but work is our common bond and/or they live far away & we'll never be in the same place at the same time. *Sigh* It's part of it, I guess. I'll make new friends at my new job. New artsy friends. Maybe I can broaden my horizons a little bit & maybe paint a picture. It'd have to be abstract. Haha!
Brennan is saying more & more everyday. He's constantly asking, "What is thissss?? What is THAT?!" So funny & cute. Can't imagine my life without him, wouldn't want to. I'm so glad Joel & I did what we did & are where we are. I couldn't ask for a better life. Really.
Joel & I are wonderful. We have our spats, of course, all couples do.. but man, we're awesome. We joke, we aggravate, we pick & prod & poke, we fight & make up, we do the do.. haha! and its all awesomely amazing. :) <3 My little hunny bunny.
Our house is looking better. Hopefully we'll get some new windows & a front door with our income tax. I'm ready to work on the outside of it now, Joel's still wanting to work on the inside. I'm thinking about curb appeal now. I'm actually ready for a bigger house all together.
With that being said... I'm getting baby fever. I want a little girl. After the little girl, I'd be done.. I just want a girl to go with my boy. :) But we def need a bigger house, especially if we had a girl. If we had a boy I could justify him & Bren sharing a room but a little girl needs her own space with her ultra cute & girly room. So.. I'm thinking 3 or 4 bedrooms, at least 2 baths. And if its a girl I like the name Londyn Elyse Rickard. What do you think?? I also like Aniston, Rowen, Teagan. I've always been baby name crazy. Haha!! If the next baby is a boy I like Kohen, Abel, Blaine. If I wasn't typing them all out I have like a trillion names I love. Oh well... it'll probably be a while until that time.
I go to the female dr tomorrow for my yearly. Yuck. Dreading it. Open up wide!!!
I'm still in school. I'm still getting good grades & did surprisingly well in math. I got the third highest grade in our class & there's like 20 ppl in our class. I was shocked. Math was never my strong point. I know the importance of studying & trying extra hard now because I've been out in the real world & see how important education is. I think I'm gonna change my major to business management. That'll help with the gallery. But even before the gallery opened up I was thinking of changing it anyway. I'm an education major right now but I don't think teaching is for me. But we'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted, most definitely.
I love you little journal & I haven't forgotten about you, regardless what you may believe. I hope you haven't forgotten me either. :))
