Summer House Plan

I have decided to start saving money now for a summer house in Ireland. Me and my best-friend, Cait are going to go in on one. She just got a job as a teacher and after a few more years I'll be able to do the same so we will both have summers off to spend in our lovely Ireland home. We are going to look in Sligo, Ireland since we both love it there so much. I honestly feel like it's my home and I miss it dearly. The place calls to my very soul.

Plans

Well a lot has happened recently and I've really been asking myself what I want and I've come to several conclusions.

1. I want to be an art teacher no matter where that means I'll live in order to find a job.

2. I like who I am and do not have any intentions of ever changing for anyone else.

3. Since I can't move to Ireland with my best-friend Cait like we had planned I plan to move to Mississippi which would make it easier to get a teaching job once I'm done with school any way.

4. I'm not willing to settle on anything or anyone from this point forward.

5. I have to live for me and only me.

These are the things I want and if I live anyone else's dreams like I have done in the past I will not be truly happy.

Alice in Wonderland ATC's

This is a package I received today from a Swap I was part of. It came from a woman in the U.K. and she wrapped all of the Artist Trading Cards individually. She also added some extra stuff that she had gathered for me to use on other projects. The Use Me bag contains some of those items. and the others were tied together. Was the best package I've ever received.

This is the wetlands at Kennsington Metro Park I went for an assignment in May for my Environmental Science class

While I was there I saw two of the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly while I was there but they are small and quick and I was unable to get a picture

Here are a few of the Artist Trading Cards I've done there are a lot more but I'm not going to put them all here. I started a blog page for those and I'll post the link when I get them all up there

We went to Medieval Times for dinner and a show. It was really fun. We were on the Red & Yellow nights side.
