Testing

Just testing out this whole blogging thing via my blackberry.

A Funky Three Weeks

I'm slowly falling into a funk again ... 

I've stopped drawing, but my apartment is spotless! 

That counts for something, right? 

Seems like I can never stick to one thing for very long .. 

Maybe that's why Earl and I get along so well. 

Spring has finally sprung here in Tennessee .. 

All the fields are nice and green,
and the temperature got up into the high 60's at one point. 

Some of the tree's even have buds on them again ... It's all very beautiful.

My urge to explore is slowly coming back .. 

I want to drive around and find new places again. 

Maybe I'll bring my sketch pad and be productive, who knows?

Three long weeks left until Earl is back home! 

These are going to be the longest three weeks of my life.

I am a ball of emotions just thinking about R&R.

I still wish I was by the ocean from time to time. 

Every now and then, on windy days,
I feel like I can smell the salty, ocean air from time to time ... 

Then again, it may just be the river water ... Or just wishful thinking. 

Either way, on sunny days,
I wish I could go drive down to the beach and take a walk.

I love driving the car around,
but I feel like I would enjoy the ride more if I were on a bike.
At least I'd get some exercise then.

... Three long, funky weeks. I can do this!

Where Do I Start?

So much has gone on since my last post. I am horrible when it comes to updating this thing, oh well.

In January I had a good friend of mine visit me from CA. She stayed for two weeks and we spent about three of those days out in eastern Tennessee for a quick ski trip. I also learned how to ice skate, which I don't care for, haha .. I'd rather going skiing. Eastern Tennessee is absolutely gorgeous and I'm glad I got to see a bit of it. Earl and I are heading back out that way again for R&R, this time a bit longer though.

In February I made the 9 hour long drive up to Kansas City, KS to visit another friend of mine. It was great seeing her and the drive was pretty cool, since that's the longest and furthest I've ever driven by myself. I made it there and back all in one piece though.

Now it's March and almost Spring-time! 

This year is going by pretty dang fast .. And yet, I haven't really been up to much.

I've been drawing and sketching a bit more, if you haven't already noticed. I'm more active over on deviantart.com and conceptart.org

Earl's R&R is literally right around the corner and I am extremely excited, happy, anxious and all around nervous! I have a lot to do before he comes home for a measly 2 weeks .. 

But those will be the best 2 weeks of my life!
I can't believe we've been apart for almost 7 months now, it still feels like he just left yesterday sometimes. This is the longest we've ever been apart and I think we're both handling it pretty well.

My birthday is this week as well .. I'm turning the big 2-6.
I feel old and young all at the same time, it's a very weird age .. 

Even more weird to think that I'll be 30 in 4 more years ... What happened to high school and college? Haha.

Spring is slowly creeping its way into Tennessee, finally.

I'm a bit glad that we're finally over the whole snow-thing. Most of the fields around here are starting to turn green and the temperature is slowly going up week by week. I'm excited about watching all the awesome flowers out here begin to bloom ... It's always a bit cool experiencing a new season in a new location .. Maybe I just love nature too much though, haha.

So that's it for me and for us ... On with the art!
