It's been a great start to the fall semester. My grade average in Biology so far is an A, and my other classes are holding strong. Biology was my greatest concern since its been 12 years since I've taken a science class. I was hoping to begin a ceramics class this semester, but that didn't happen because I accidently scheduled an advanced studio instead of the intro. Ooops! Just as well I suppose, but I am glad to finally get drawing 1 out of the way. I am enjoying my drawing class and look forward to putting together a solid portfolio for the subject.
This past summer has been one to remember. Not only because of school, but also for love. I met Cat in the spring at the beginning of March. I fell in love with her immediately. She was finalizing her divorce from her previous marriage that had some similarities to my own. We were both victims of a spouse who would not return affection, but instead took it elsewhere. Cat is a wonderful person who has blessed my life in so many ways since we first met. She began talking with the missionaries and was recently baptized last month. We are planning to be married in November on the 19th. We have a couple of financial hurdles to work through before that can happen, the main one is getting a marriage license. Neither of us is working right now, but hopefully that situation will change soon. My budget has run very thin, and it needs to be supplemented with some additional income.
During the summer, I began making hemp jewelry. Cat spurred me on in this endeavor and with her help I made a couple of sales to local shops here in Denton. Look for the PaC labeled hemp at Sleeping Lizards and Easy's Smoke Shop. That did give me some hope for a new business. It has not been much, but the experience is great. I couldn't have done this with any success without Cat's partnership. I hope to do more business soon, and will be at the Harvest Fest on the 23rd of October here in Denton.
