so i haven't updated in a while. school has been busy/stressed out but exciting at the same time. things will get a lot more busy but it will all be worth it. as i was sharing with matt the other day, it's a scary time of my life right now. it's so great to dream about something ... for me, dreaming to be a great artist or to get a job dealing with art.. but to actually start it is SCARY because now, i'm actively working towards it. (not that i haven't been before this. high school was actually a big help and taking college art courses at NYC was definately great, but now.. i'm actually working towards some sort of a degree) being active in the pursuit of my dreams means possibility for screwing up or messing it up.. or maybe even realizing that i don't really wanna do it--that it's exactly what i say it is.. a DREAM. i rest on the assurance that although it may seem like i am in control of all this, screwups or not, that God has His hand in things.

here are some pics from over break. it's a lot. break was awesome. a good time to spend with friends and family. i didnt' really get pics of friends cuz we were to busy havin fun =P but i did get some cute pics of my family. aw, i love my family. i miss'm.
