My amazing husband just surprised me with it for my birthday! gosh I would have been happy with Photoshop CS! It's so nice to be able to truly work on my computer again without tearing my hair out! It's been an amazing birthday so far and I just only woke up!! I love my amazing family, the one I was born into and the one I married into! It's going to be a great day!

for the past 7 months I have been suffering without my beloved Photoshop. I honestly can't remeber not being able to play with photoshop for so long, Gosh I remeber playing with it at my dad's work back in the 90's! I only have Photoshop Elements 5.0 right now. It was the only older version I could find that would work with Windows 7. I'm pretty sad because it doesn't have the pen tool or any mask tools but I can at least sketch now, which is a dream come true for me for the time being. I have a feeling I may be getting the newest version of Photoshop for Christmas from my dad. He's been dropping little hints every time I see him.

I also have a job, sort of. I'm working Cottage with a screen printing company. just as a grunt for now. They do have a graphic design position open and I think I'm going to try and go for it! It would be a perfect position for my career. I could really build up my resume with that. I can't remeber the last time things worked out this well! I love my life God is good!

I've seriously started considering starting my own commission based company here on the DA, but it's probably not what you are thinking. I don't believe my art skill is high enough to actually make money drawing characters and the like. I have, however, in the past couple of years have been very successful in making wedding invites for friends and family, I even made my own wedding invite. Though, since I've been married, I have not been able to get Photoshop on my new laptop and my limited space in my apartment  does not allow me to set up my old desk top.  It may be a while before I can figure that out, but I am at home every day getting bored since my husband needs the car to get to work. I'm trying to gather up all the invites I have made to make a portfolio that people can look at. I've been 100% customized thus far and with a smaller group I think I can keep up with that. I'm also not limited to just wedding, as I said, I'm 100% custom made cards and that can go for anything, to announcements to invites, or even birthday cards. It's just an idea for now, but I think it would be a lot of fun.

well, once I realized I was once again being watched here I guess I stopped visiting, sounds really stupid, I know, but I was using this space just to unload some of the bad things going on in my life so I could go on in every other aspect in my life to be happy. I don't care what anyone says, everyone feels sad sometimes, I just feel it a lot and have to find ways to deal with it. I don't like people to know when I'm sad, because it's usually for no reason at all, I just feel sad and it just makes me sluggish, so when I unloaded on a place I knew very well that people read I could pretend that people read and cared, but I really didn't want anyone to know. so I'm sorry for making sound like my life sucks so often here, it just turned out to be my "dump site" where people used to not care, now I need to be more careful because people see this now. not sure why. but I'm now working from home, working with Herbalife and all that such and i'm feeling that depression mode kick in again and just needed to unload, because I'm not doing what I need to get done in my sales, hope no one feels bad about this because it's just another thing

Two more days until I become sealed to my best freind for eternity. We have run into several snags along the way yesterday as far as technical things go, and I have freinds trying to give me comfort by giving advice about mariage and how hard it is (which is not helping). So I'm rambling here. I'm not nervous or worried about anything about marriage itself, it's just an added stressor and I just need to vent about it for a minute so I can decompress.

I'm SUPER excited for the wedding! The reception is going to be freaking epic! I can't wait to share the photos. But I won't until after the honeymoon   My life is so exciting right now and I can't wait to see what's next. Hopefully I will be able to start going back to school finally, but I dunno if I can afford not going to work now that I'm having to pay rent and all that fun stuff. anyway the countdown is now at 2 days left! next time I'm here will be after the wedding! have fun ya'll. I know I will!
