Part 1.
Hey Portland!
Guess what?!!
I have moved into a bona fide house. Yeah you better believe it!
And you know what else?! I have a studio. For my art. For me to make stuff and be creative and explore ideas and try new things and be HAPPY! And guess what else? I have a huuuuge backyard. Enough room for food to grow, forts to be built, a fire pit, garden parties. Yeah, this is for real. It's so absolutely wonderful I can't control myself in making plans for things. Except, I feel like I don't have to control myself. Because I can actually follow through now. so I'm happy.
I have a good group of jobs right now and excited about my prospects and all the future projects I'm planning. It's great.

Here's a little look see at my room. 

 Not very interesting view from one of my THREE windows.

 SO COZY

Part 2.
I do not keep promises. Normally I do. But blogging promises are hard to keep. I apologize. Profusely. Mostly just to the one person who I know reads this and actually likes it (yes, Grace, I am indeed talking to you). I really do want to get back to posting something everyday like I did when I was in Montana. It was really good for me and it helps me remember that time in life. It was really important to me and I want to be able to have a history of the things I do. My memory is not so great with the details sometimes and I'm working on the whole commitment thing, but I think I am turning over a new leaf. I'm doing it.

Here's to day one of the things I have to say or pictures I have to post.

Thanks for being so awesome again Portland and keeping me happily occupied.
