Hi there, I recently released an art kit called a journey. I thought it would be a great time to follow up and give you a back story of my journey through life thus far.
Throughout my early childhood education, I was very fortunate and blessed to attend Catholic-based schools until college. I had a hard time with school, and academics did not come naturally to me. I graduated in 2010, and I went off to the University of New Mexico with the lottery scholarship. The scholarship pays for your tuition to receive a 2-year degree or 4-year degree within the allotted time. I could not make up with what I wanted to pursue. I attended college for three years but then slowly drifted away once I got my first job at Target. During those years, I was going through a hard situation with my family.
I put my self in an unfortunate position that split my family. I turned to work to bury and hide my self. I stayed at Target for a few years. My mother owns a holistic spa in Old Town, with not knowing what I was going to do I applied and was accepted into the esthetician school of Aveda. I knew that it was not my passion. I just wanted to help my mom since she put me through private schooling. At that exact time, Steven and I found out that I was pregnant. Then he was also offered an opportunity with Under Armour, but it was for relocation to Indiana.
To move away from my mother was not ideal, but I had always wanted to travel and live somewhere else besides NM. Of course, we did take the chance and moved North of Indianapolis. Juliana and I were a stay at home family, although we worked in our church nursery during the week. Then Under Armour went through a restructure, our lives would again change within two months. We had options to move back to the Southwest with Target in AZ or keep pushing our comfort levels and move to MD with Under Armour again. With being away from both of our families, it has grown our relationship. I have grown in becoming an amazing mother, which I don't know if I would have been if we were closer. I may have gone back to work because a family member would have helped to watch Jules. Our bond of a family is solid, and I would never take that back. We each have a journey. My journey has not been comfortable, and still isn't I live with pain and regret every day from my past. All I can do is become a better partner and mother. I still have many years to live, and who knows what my journey will lead. I will strive to live each day to the fullest and to not be so hard on my self. I hope you will do the same.
