Sometimes life happens and it shifts you into a different state of being for a little while. This summer I spent almost every day at my grandpa's side. Loving on him, helping with whatever I could. Nothing else seemed to matter quite as much as being there. And I'm thankful for that time. I'm thankful for all of the years of grandpa.
You've made me feel special and loved my whole life and I hope I was able to give a little of that back. Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and for being proud of me. I'm blessed to have had you with me for all 31 years of my life. Every year for 30 years I got a card in the mail for my birthday. I've always looked forward to it, knowing you picked it just for me. Knowing that you think of me and remember every year is something I've held in my heart all this time. Now, I will cry every year missing you, while in my head I hear you saying "oh quit." But, I will always be sad you're not here.. and yet happy you're somewhere better. With grandma, with your family, with Pepper, Tommy, all your hunting dogs, and friends. There's so much I could say, but at the end of the day, I love you sums it all up. Every age and stage, this little girl has loved you beyond words, and I always will.
The rest of life has been on hold for a bit, and I'm okay with that. Love comes above all else, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be present in it.
I'm currently in the process of getting back to lips, while subbing for elementary. This is the first year not being in my own classroom and it feels real weird, but I'm looking forward to using this time to expand my lip blushing horizons. I have some models who have been patiently waiting (thank you!) that I'm excited to work on. I will keep you updated here as things are happening. Follow for a chance to be a model, plus special introductory pricing when I start taking clients full time! It's a work in progress but definitely worth the wait.
