The climb

This song by Miley Cyrus is still golden. Listening to it now as I type this up.

We are currently in the process of moving out. (I'll elaborate more in a second.) So work on my website will probably begin to slow down some. But I'll do what I can when I can. As much as possible.
So far I've:

• Completed the "Graphics" section under "Personal Projects"

          Everything except the "Photography" section is done. (that will be last)

• Updated the contact page with a new background. (just because)
  
• Started working on the "Photography" section "For Clientele"
• Added a little sneak peek to "prices + services" page
• And added a banner to this here page. ;)

That's the important stuff. I'm going to rant now. If you'd care to see, just click "read more". Otherwise, just go about your way. And have a nice day. :)

I'm pursuing my work. I'm pursuing my dreams. It may take time to get there. But I'm working and moving towards it.
And that's all that matters.

So last year, a week before Christmas, my Dad had these people interested in hiring him. So he goes to Indiana and visits the plant and they offer him a job and he accepts it. (In a nut shell.)

Well, over the past 4 months, we've been fixing up our house to sell it. We did sell it. But then the family was all like "fix this and fix that too". So we ended up spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on this house.
But we've also invested money in a house up in Indiana. Through a series of events, we've lost money. A LOT of money. I have no idea how we're still eating.

Our goal was to move to Indiana. But something happened, and my Dad felt it wasn't wise to move up there anymore. The reason he was going, had changed.
And he felt it wasn't safe for our family anymore.

So here we are, in debt. Lost so much money. Had been planning for 6 months to move to Indiana. Had this mentality that we were leaving. Had already pictured ourselves living there. We were excited. And then, in one day, 6 months of work and preparation... dies.  SIX MONTHS. Down the drain. Just like that.

I fell into a hole for a bit. I felt straight up depressed. But I tried to move on quickly. I didn't want to be bitter. So I refocused myself. Created a "game plan" and started moving forward.

We are still going to move though. It's just not going to be to Indiana. Instead we are going to move closer to our church. We want to be at maximum of 10 minutes away. No more. Right now, we're 25 minutes away. 30 if my Dad is driving. -__-* 

But because our buyers want to move in so quickly, we are forced to get out.
We have to move out and move into a temporary home. Look for a permanent home, buy it and move again. -__- Meanwhile, all of our stuff is going into storage.
It's... crazy.

After refocusing myself, I threw myself into working on my website. I had already started working on it. But I decided to keep moving forward with it. I went ahead and had the photoshoot. And I'm planning to get a part time job.

I decided I could still do the things I wanted to do, I just had to do them here.
If I wanted things to change, I had to MAKE them change. And that's what I'm doing.

I'm pursuing my work. I'm pursuing my dreams. It may take time to get there. But I'm working and moving towards it.
And that's all that matters.

I'm grateful to be here. I'm going to love the people. And love being here. And do my best to make the best of what I have, here.

I was excited to move to Indiana. But that's over and gone. It's time to move forward. I hope to travel one day. But for now, I will build my work here. Try to build my clientele here. And then maybe one day, branch out, and travel for my work. And for pleasure. ^_^

So now you're officially updated on the move.
If you saw in any of my posts on my old blog, me talking about us moving to Indiana, then now you know what's going on with that. Nothing! lol

But because of us moving back to Phenix City, a lot is happening. And work on my website may slow down a bit. But I'll do my best not to let it get to a complete stop.

That was a lot. But oh well. I needed to get it out.
So there will now therefore be no more updates or talk of "Indiana".
But moving... yes. There will be talk of that.

Thanks for reading.
Have a wonderful day. <3
