Ohmigosh! There's so much to do!
This Saturday my mom and I will head out to Las Vegas- Sin City, baby! Well, not really. I am going with my mom after all! We'll be attending an Art and Soul Retreat and I'm so excited! It's my first ever art retreat and I've been wanting to attend one ever since I learned about these magical little gatherings. I remember sitting in front of the computer in my old house (about 5 addresses ago) and poring over the websites for hours and adding and calculating and racking my brain to figure out how I could possibly make it happen. But you know, things happen when they're supposed to and not always on our own time frames. So, now I am finally getting to go and I'm getting to share the whole thing with my mom- so awesome!
I am so tremendously blessed and in such a great place in my life right now; I just couldn't be more excited about what the future holds for me and my family and my career and so much of that has to do with my partner, the boy- as you might know him. I try to keep his specifics out of this blog because he has a corporate job and I wouldn't ever want to write or post anything that would put that in jeopardy, so let's just say he's an amazing and wonderful person and has really been here for me throughout all of the trials over the last few months. It has truly been a test for us, as individuals and as a couple and I'm so happy to say that we are stronger and more in love (at least on my end!) than ever before.
Okay, I'm going to be back in few hours with some type of pretty pictures of something creative. I don't know what yet, but I'm determined!

Costa Rica or bust!
It's already February! What the heck? Well, they say distance makes the heart grow fonder so I'm just going to assume you guys are really happy to see a new post from me. No? Oh well.
So this past month has been... hmmm.... a bit of a rollercoaster. Some days are good, some aren't. Some days are marked by relentless pain, others by nausea, and others by so much exhaustion that I literally sleep for 20 hours out of the day. And then some days, for a few hours, I feel almost a little bit normal. And it's during those times that I think okay, we're making progress. In fact, today I'm going to pack my bags for a little trip to Costa Rica! The boy and I will be basking in glorious sunshine and 93 degree weather. I can't wait to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. This is an incentive trip through his company and I've been with him on every one he's ever earned, so I just couldn't bear to miss it. I know I won't be able to participate in most of the activities and socializing but I figure if I'm going to resting most of the day, then at least I can do it somewhere warm. Not to mention, that my mom needs a break from taking care of me, poor thing! Hopefully I'll come back with some great pictures to share that will inspire feelings of warmth and sunshine to help us get through the rest of winter.
Gotta go get ready for a doctor's appointment, but I think I'll take my laptop and post from Costa Rica since I'll probably be spending a good amount of time on my own. I want to take advantage of the time away from home to clear my head and examine my goals for this coming year and create some journal pages to illustrate them. So, here's looking forward to having lots of pretties to share. We all need a bit of pretty during these dull, cold months. And I don't even live somewhere cold, like Minnesota or Wisconsin. Ugh, I can't imagine!
