The years between 20 and 30 years old

 Happy Summer everyone!

So for two weeks, yes two weeks straight, right when school was out my oldest broke her arm. Oh boy, when it happened she wasn't crying, I was crying. I couldn't stop crying and when we got to the hospital she threw up twice in my vehicle and I parked in front of labor and delivery instead of the Emergency entrance. I was in a hurry not realizing it, but a nurse helped me get to the correct entrance and got her taken care of.

Broken arm we still went to our vacation which was Disney Land. It was my third time going, the first time I went was when I was four so I like don't remember much of it, the second time was when I was 18 and I remember it being great. This time with my kids I absolutely loved it!! I was so sad that it was over. Since I got the chance to go I want to draw all the Disney Princesses. I already did Bell, but honestly, I have lost her and have no idea what happened to that drawing. So I will do it again and probably do a better job at it.

I also went to sea world which was pretty cool, and Lego Land which was also awesome but they both closed at 6 pm which did disappoint me for I felt like I didn't get ht chance to enjoy my day there with the short hours. And with Sea World, the dinner all-day pass I had was also disappointing, you pay a lot to get this pass to dine all day and while I was using it for only two meals, the last meal the service was horrible. We get to this place and they were like "We close at five" and we barely made it, but had like nothing to serve. I see cookies stacked in the back and asked the guy serving us "D you have any more desserts?" he says "No," I pointed back there, "But there's a stack of cookies right there, would you please serve those?" he rolled his eyes and got the cookies out to me and others that were in line, they all said thanks to me for doing that for that was ridiculous. the food was fine, but the service just wasn't that great I understand that maybe they are done working for the day since they close at five, but at the same time I paid for this food just serve me, please. (There was more to the story of why it was bad but not going to explain. I don't recommend the all-day dining pass).

We also got to go to the beach and celebrated my 30th birthday at this sand dune place in southern Utah. I'm freakin 30! I really have a hard look at my life right now. I have been thru so much and hope to accomplish more. I published two comic books, working on the third one, making music videos, TikTok, and I have a website that has all of my accomplishments. And I hope I will continue, there's so much more want to do. 

Zelda's tears of the kingdom are out, and Ebb and Flow made a video of the first part. If you don't know, I work with Ebb and Flow Gamerz on Youtube. While I was working on this video I decided to draw Link and Zelda for I truly believe they are meant for each other, they are so cute together to me! 

Check out the video right here. 

I got the game on my birthday and have been loving it so far! 

Since I am 30 I have been looking back at where I was ten years, I was serving a mission for my church ten years ago. Between 20-30 I have been married for five years, gave birth to two girls, divorced, Covid, and art has helped me through it all. 

I have been drawing since I was 12, my dream was to be an illustrator and so much more like maybe going on tour singing my songs or just being able to visit the world knowing that I am somewhat well known. Be cool. There was a time that I didn't draw, during my mission I couldn't draw, the only time I would was in my journal and it was my time to escape sometimes because being a missionary was so hard. When I return home I was lost, wasn't sure what to do with my life or was my purpose. I met someone and got married and honestly, that's when I really stopped drawing, I just couldn't find that spark again. I had a close friend even asking why I'm not drawing, for usually I am always drawing. I'm not sure why I stopped, being married I think was part of it because of reasons I'm not going to explain, but I didn't start drawing again until after I had my first kid. 

I remember going insane as a new mom, dealing with postpartum and two kids, (the husband was also a child). My younger sister got me a small drawing tablet and it excites me, and while my baby slept I learn to draw on it and I remember feeling alive again like I found my spark again and have missed it dearly. I started doing comics from my sisters and me funny comics that we made growing up.

I have made also videos of some of our comics on my channel, you can check them out...just they are not the greatest. I also started working on how to paint digitally, I never liked coloring or painting, but digital I seemed to like and enjoy it once I got it down and still learning today how to paint.

Here's an all-me portrait, you can see the past I's, how I see myself, and who I wished to be. Thirty today, in the next ten years I hope to do more and maybe do an update of this painting.
