Block by block

Last week I gave a 5 week notice to my job that I would be leaving to pursue other opportunities that have presented themselves. I thought that giving up the security of a paycheck would leave my normally stressed out body in shambles but I am extremely excited and rearing to go. In October, I will be the proud employee of MYSELF! Woohoo. I am going to be tutoring, art lessons & classes, painting, photographing, and jewelry designing.

But I'm not waiting 5 weeks to get my butt in gear, I'm starting now!

Project Jewelry is now officially underway. Check it out at http://tesorojewelry.etsy.com.

I've had the shop for a year or so but could never find the "time" and I'd always tell people that I was going to wait until it was closer to summer....christmas...easter. You get the picture.

This past summer I've realllllly missed it and just dove head first into my boxes and boxes of stones and findings and I'm pretty psyched.

Can you feel the change in the air people? I can.

I hope to post new creations and Project Painting soon.

All About The Boy

Straight outta Easton, Pennsylvania then Waco, Texas then Mission Viejo, California then Austin, Texas then Westchester, Pennsylvania, then El Paso, Texas, and finally Irvine/Huntington Beach/Irvine, California REPRESENT! Yeah I guess you could say I have moved around my fair share, it really wasnt until I lived in El Paso, Tx that we kinda settled down and that was only from 5th grade till I graduated High School. I have never been able to sit still or live in one place for very long some people say ahh you have ADD, but I say... whoa I just completely lost my train of thought it would probably help if I reread what I just wrote but that would require reading (something I am not too fond of, nor am very good at). Well thats not entirely true I do enjoy reading if it is something I am intersted in: religion, animals, the ocean, or the wilderness, however I will only read it if it is a short article that is to the point which this article that I am currently writing will be short but probably not to the point. So I got married last year to a beautiful and amazing woman, and everyday since has been an incredible adventure that is why I am writing this blog I want to tell of our daily adventures. I will do my very best to update this daily although it may not happen.... we'll see.

Third Time's a Charm - right? Right!

This is our third attempt (let's count them - one, two, three) at starting a blog. The predecessors were wonderful ideas but in the end they just sat there nagging us to think of something to write.

Therefore, we have decided to have a blog where we don't reallllly have to think - we just write.

And the subject is ............... US! Isn't that awesome?

Stay tuned.
