So, this blog has been neglected lately…Hopefully I can get some things going with my photography here soon. Over the last week I’ve been dabbling in doing some montages using public domain, stock, vintage, and old family images. Here are a few. I’m not sure if I’ll keep doing these or not, but it’s something new I can post! right?
So we’ve been in Bloomington, Indiana for about two months now. It’s different but feels more like home than my parent’s house now. I thought the move would boost my creativity right off the bat, but it has yet to really do that. We adopted a one year old boston terrier a few weeks after we moved. He is such a sweet dog but he has some general anxiety and dog aggression issues. Hopefully we can get him some formal training soon to see if that helps. I have yet to have any clients here, but hopefully I will soon. I also hope to get some new ideas to get my photography going again. This blog entry is really weak but I realized I hadn’t written an official, “I moved” entry yet.

In another sign of my life changing, at 24, I guess this is one of the final ways of saying I have to keep moving on in life.
We had to let Abigail go yesterday. She was about 10. She’s always been there for me. This is hard. She was having seizures and every time she came out of sedation she would go into seizures again. We had no choice. I layed on the floor at the vet and held her tightly and gave her a tear bath as she passed. I held her for several minutes after as well. It was hard but I’m glad I was able to be there for her as opposed to the awful way Winston passed a few years ago. We love you baby girl.
I was so worried about what she was going to do when I move. She always made sure I went to sleep before leaving my room every night. When I was in Carbondale, she did the same thing to my sister. Then my sister moved out and this past year of being out of school we became best of friends again, she would always hang out in my room when I was in there and watched me as I used the computer. She would always wait on the couch for me to come home from work or whatever. I guess maybe she didn’t want me to have to worry now that Sasha and I would have both moved out. She was the sweetest, prettiest, funniest girl. People that don’t think pets are like family are crazy, it’s just as hard as losing a human. I hope that if there’s an afterlife she’s out there catching up with Winston, who we tragically lost three years ago.
It’s definitely been a whirlwind of a month so far.
Common Grounds reception tomorrow at 2 pm.
Moving day is in 3 days! Excited and nervous… and man I’ve been on an emotional roller-coaster the last several weeks and months even.

I currently have a small solo exhibition up at Common Grounds in Mattoon, IL. The reception is this Saturday the 13th from 2-3pm. I can’t stay long because I work my last day at the Effingham Papa John’s at 5 that evening! It may be one of the last chances to see me before I move to Bloomington, IN on the 15th! I thought I had more room so there are not as many photographs as I had planned on showing. This show is mostly non creepy work haha. We’re going to be without internet or tv for 2 weeks after we move, yikes!

Big news! We are moving to Bloomington, Indiana later this month. I know I always said I wanted to live on the east or west coast or Chicago but I’ve realized it’s just not possible right now. This was kind of a spur of the moment decision and I am scared because I have never truly lived on my own without lots of help and I don’t have a ton of money saved up…but I haven’t taken any big chances in a while and I’m only getting older! I can’t say what the future holds, or if we’ll make it, but I hope so! Hopefully this change will bring new opportunities for myself and for my business. I’ve been in such a funk since graduating last year. I hope that changes. I do have a job at Papa John’s over there lined up so I’ll at least have something haha.
Also, I will have work up at Common Grounds in Mattoon, IL starting Saturday.
Also Also, I hope to have the new website going around when I move! if not by then, then hopefully soon after!
