Realizations...

I went to have my picture taken for the yearbook tonight and when I got home I realized how I don't really fit in on my college campus anymore. Maybe it's because I'm married now, maybe it's because I was gone for a couple of semesters a while back, maybe it's just a simple fact of no longer living on campus. I'm not really sure what it is but it really hit me tonight. While I thought I had been staying connected to a point it is totally different from living on campus, eating in the caf, and doing homework in the library. I talked to my sweet husband about my thoughts and he reminded me of all the blessings I have. I've already found the man I want to spend my life with, I have my own bathroom (sort of!), I have a kitchen, I get to have my cats with me all the time, and I don't have to deal with the dorm drama. After talking about all of that, I had no choice but to be grateful for what I've been given. Even though I don't fit in on campus anymore I have so many things to enjoy!

Besides that little bit of emotion, My classes are going well, this is our first full week of classes and it looks like it's going to be a busy semester! I'm taking 17 hours and still working my job at the Pampered Pup. I'm not really sure how it's all going to go but it should me fun! Anyways, that's all for now, thanks for reading!!

Becoming Gracie: A first look at my clown character.

After being inspired by this article: How to Make a Wig out of Yarn and Pantyhose I decided that Gracie would have yarn for hair and I created this wig:

Nick thinks it makes me look like the Nox woman Lya from Stargate SG-1.

Anyway, I'm designing Gracie's face now and will be making my full costume over the next couple of months whenever I have extra time.

My fall semester looks super busy right now because I'm taking 17 hours, working part-time, and helping out at Broadway Dance Studio. It's going to be a little bit crazy but I think it will be fun! Besides all of that, my theatre class is almost over and I'm ready for a good 24 hour nap!! If anyone wants to see pictures of my whole Gracie wig project, you can check them out here with instructions: How I Did This Or just check out this slideshow: Gracie Wig Project
