It's my dream to one day be able to successfully pursue art as my full time passion. In the meantime, I work full time in mortgage law reviewing paperwork and I'm going to school part time to earn my paralegal certificate.
In 2008 I started my company, Blueskysunburn Creations, to sell my original artwork and have now expanded to include prints, magnets and jewelry. I try to create in any free time I have left though sometimes it's a bit of a challenge.
This blog began back in 2006 when I felt isolated at home after getting my tonsils removed and I quickly discovered I enjoyed doing it. I find writing helps calm my thought process, a feat which can be difficult at times.
I blog about anything and everything be it family, art, movies, books and yes, even work (insert *gasp* here). I share victories and happy family moments, rant and complain and sometimes walk away with my foot in my mouth.
Like most others, I feel the need to connect with like-minded people. I love sharing my opinions and receiving feedback in return. I am happy to hear from all who drop by and I feel very rewarded with the relationships I have developed over the years.
My husband Cory and I have been together since sometime in 2002 and happily married since April 2005. Cory works full time as a GM mechanic and spends the majority of his spare time playing video games, bowling or talking to his friends about one of the two. He's a wonderful man for putting up with me and I love him dearly.
Cory and I bought our first home in Fort Worth, Texas back in December 2006. I can't believe it's been that long already! In the time we've lived here we have painted (and repainted) every paintable surface available, had to get a new roof, furnace and ac unit, resodded our lawn and lost a 15 year old tree to a storm.
This is Hailey, our spoiled little bluepoint Siamese and the ruler of the roost. She knows you open the door with a doorknob (though she's not tall enough to do it) and plays "catch" and "fetch" like a dog. Her favorite thing is to go in the backyard to eat grass, sun on the concrete and watch birds. She's slowly starting to warm up to our dog. She'll now tolerate being within five feet of her as long as there are no sudden movements.
Dixie is the newest addition to our home. She is a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix we rescued from the pound at four month's old. After she grew out of her puppy phase of chewing up everything in our home she's become a very loyal and obedient pet. She likes to know where Cory and I are at all times and has to be in the same room as one of us. She's very smart and eager to please.
There must be some mysterious story behind it!
I'm sorry to disapoint but the story behind it is actually extremely boring. I was trying to come up with a person email account for yahoo in 2001 and kept getting denied.
After the gazillionth rejection I looked outside and saw blue skies. I don't go outside in the summertime for the most part because I get sunburned and the heat makes me sick.
Through this, blueskysunburn was created.
