Hello again!

Hello!

I am sorry for not writing in such a long time. Almost a year! So many updates have happened and a lot more happen everyday. So, last time I gave an update of how my son turned four and how he was born. Well, now he’s almost five and will be attending school soon! You can not believe how nervous I am for him. He’s growing so fast.

Also, I have been attending school for the past year! I currently changed my major from Pre-Architecture to Drafting. I did that because architecture takes a little longer than going for drafting (the difference is a couple more years of school). I could graduate with my drafting degree AND certificate of completion to find a job faster (hoping) within the next year. Here’s to graduating in May 2019! Wish me luck!

A baby boom is also happening in my family. Three babies! Or at least that was the number last time I checked. There could be more than I currently know. My cousin Priscilla, my aunt Zulma and my cousin David’s wife will all be having little ones before the year is out.

Recently, I have been struggling with starting a mini business for my artwork. I have the biggest fear that no one will really like my work or tell me that I am terrible at drawing or painting. Lately however, I have been gaining confidence in my work and I just want to put my art out there regardless of what my insecurities are. If I build it, they will come, right? Or should it be, if I draw it, they will come? Either or is fine with me. I just need to get past my worries and just do it. I see others do the same and they are really successful. Could I do the same? Could I build my mini empire and help support my family? Maybe, maybe not but it is worth a shot. I have most everything set up, all I need is product! I just need to encourage myself more and more, which is hard for me to find the time. School kinda consumed me a bit.

Speaking of school again, I didn’t think that making models or plans would be so involved. I made so many models the past year, I don’t even know how much money I spent to make them. I honestly loved making them all though. I learned an immense amount of techniques and information to hold me over for years. Plenty of writing was involved too. Maybe I should make a master portfolio to post here. Let me know if you would like to see that. I’ll put my best work on there for you to see. Currently, I’m just taking a summer Physics class to push me through in finishing my classes.

Off topic of life, I have been currently binge watching a youtuber named LoeyLane. Oh my goodness, do I love her stories. I have watched most of here scary stories and I love every single one! I feel like writing my stories one of these days, I only have a few but I want to share them! I love scary things all year round, not just Halloween. I binge watch all that stuff and listen to all the stories. I discovered Loey while looking for Disneyland ghost stories, either from cast members or from people that have seen or experienced something. Anything Disney gets my gears going, so the combination of Disney AND scary stories get me excited. I keep watching her videos and they are all spooky. Makes me want to go out and explore some places around where I live and beyond.

Thank you to those who read my blogs. I know they aren’t much or super structured in any direction but I want to leave my little mark. Whether you just want to read about my simple life or get the dish on my dramas, I want to leave my story behind. I am all over the place sometimes and I usually just write off the cuff. Whatever comes to mind, I write. Thanks again, and hope to see you around here soon!

Babies? Big changes are coming!

Hello! Recently after my first blog post, one of my cousins had a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Sophia Annalee and she has the cutest cheeks I’ve seen to date lol. It seems to be baby fever within my family because in the past year there have been 3 other little babies born. I have a 3 year old son myself and it does make me want to grow my family, but there are so many changes that are happening right now.

Well, first things first. Not too long ago (the end of January to be exact), I quit my job at a health insurance company that I worked at for the past 3 years. The atmosphere there was awesome; I could not say a bad thing about the company and the job itself. It was mostly data entry so things were easy. The building itself however was a different story, but it’s not the reason why I left. I left because I needed a change of atmosphere and I wanted to go back to school to finally start my career. I’m going back for drafting and design, and I’m hoping to graduate with a degree in architecture.

Jobs have been a different story though. There has been one job that has taken almost 5 months to process. Talk about taking forever! It’s a city job so I kind of understand where they’re coming from (background checks and making sure you’re not a criminal I’m assuming). I applied in early November and I just had an interview yesterday (Friday morning). I’ve been so nervous with this job that when I was still working at my last job, I was getting in trouble with my boss because of my numbers. I guess the changed scared me so much that I wasn’t paying attention to how bad my work being affected. Whether or not I do get this job or not, I’m still going to keep looking for a part time job just so I can go back to school.

With all the changes, my biggest concerns are my baby and hubby. I’m scared of the financial stress I might cause. Thankfully I have enough money saved up for now, but looking for a job is top priority. I want to set the example for my baby that hard work (and even some failures) pay off in the long run. I also have the best hubby that I could ever ask for. He’s my biggest support is primarily the reason why I’m making all these changes. Before meeting him, I really had no direction in what I wanted to do with my life. We’ve been together for 4 years and married for 2. It has taken me a while for me to get the ball rolling but only because I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do; even after I met my husband. While I was working, I only wanted to support my family and not really take into consideration what I wanted to do in the long run. With losing my job, it all hit me at once. I finally know the direction that I want to go in and if it means losing one job or several, so be it. Things happen the way they need to happen and I honestly couldn’t be more happy than where I’m at right now.

Here’s to finding my path in life! Even if I’m kind of old (I’m 27 lol) , it doesn’t bother me so much like it would have 5 years ago. Change needs to happen in my life and I’m taking it all as a sign that great things will come.

Thank so much for reading! Talk to you next time!
