Finally Over & Done!! YAY!!!

 

Some of you readers "may" know and some of you "may not" know but..... reason I haven't updated in awhile is because I was studying!! I was studying to become a US Citizen and now its DONE! Yay!!! 

Some of you new readers and some of you readers that been watching since 2004ish when I started this blog... anyway back in 2004 is when I met my hubby online though a mutual friend we both knew playing City of Heroes.  I lived in Canada at the time and her and my soon to be hubby both lived in the US. She lived in Michigan and he lived in the Mid-west! 

Well we got married about 8 months after we talked online/phone and 2 days after we met first time face to face we got married, he drove 14hrs to where I was and purposed. It was Valentines day and we talked about it many times so we ran off and did it lol.

Well my green card visa didn't expire for a few more years but I really have always loved it here in the US and have always wanted to become a citizen. It's just in the beginning after finalizing my green card, we where pretty broke lol. It's not cheap! So we decided to wait, we had 12+ years til my card expired so, we waited. This year we decided, lets get it done!

So we did! I had to study 100 civics, history and geography questions. They where only gonna ask 10 but I didn't know what 10 AND I had to at least get 6 right. Plus reading and writing English in a sentence of their choosing. It was pretty easy I got 100% I was freaking out the whole time studying and waiting for the test. Reason I took time off work (even tho i only work one day a week) I didn't wanna fail cause this is more $$$ I am paying to get this. But now it's done!

I am now a proud American! 

My home sweet home!

It always felt like home but honestly more so now that everythings been finalized. 

I promise to update more often now that the stress window has passed!

Above is the cake I made for my potluck BBQ!

I had a ton of family and friends come, it was potluck so everyone brought food and stuff, it was a lot of fun! Even one friend from work that came sang "God Bless America" for me, such a wonderful singer !! Anyway gotta get going its getting late and I need to finish up a few things before bed. 

Goodnight!

Updates & My View On Being An Artist !

I haven't posted in awhile I know but we have been pretty busy!
We started a comic book hubby & I, it's called "Galaxy Wrestling All-Stars"
You can find the blog on it Here!
It also has links where to find and buy :)
It is a PDF file of the comic not a physical copy.
But we are now working on issue 4, it's been selling pretty well and people seem to enjoy it really well so that is always a plus.
We also been doing art on the side, in between our jobs of course.
Hubby is now working 2 jobs, one is only 1-2 days a month and the other is his full time job. Mine is one day a week but I took some time away from that right now cause I have a test to study for plus house projects I need to take care of, and back to losing weight!
My work is pretty easy since I am part time I can make my own schedule, reason I love this company I work for, being able to do my own thing like this, today marks 2 years since I started working there, so it isn't that bad and time just flew by!
One thing I do hate about being a artist and I know hubby hates it too, is when people ask for FREE work done. Giving ideas on what you wanna see is all fine and whatever, but when you ask someone for a picture and want it done and not offer the artist any kinda funds for doing the picture is a bit annoying. I could see if they are a really good friend like friends of ours that have done stuff for us or write books or comics we buy/read and whatever. Fan art is another thing.
But when someone comes and says, " I want you to make me a picture, or Can you make me a picture" and wont stop bugging you about it. Gets annoying as hell.
People need to realize not all artists are going to do stuff for you and when they don't answer you and avoid the question they are trying to be polite without telling you NO
Also if your gonna do fan art from a artist you NEED to make sure you get the stories of the characters right, you can't just go off and write your own thing about it without there permission, and if its totally against how they have the character don't be surprised if they don't enjoy it. Plus another thing that annoys me is when people ask you to do pictures and they will write a story, its okay when its a hubby & wife team doing it (like me and mine) or bf/gf or friends etc, but when complete strangers ask, its where I personally draw the line. Cause honestly I don't trust people I don't know in that kinda way exp if I am going to do the art etc. I don't feel comfortable with it. Exp exp exp if they wanna do something erotic, I dont' feel comfortable for myself, my hubby or my friends to do something like that. So in all seriousness, its just my POV. 

That's just my two cents on the soap box =p

Artists don't like to sell them selves short when they are worth so much potential =)

So please respect us as artists, thats for any of them out there! 

In other news the FF expan came out, really excited :)
My black mage is now lvl 55, 5 more levels to go til 60
Other then that not much else going on, hubby & I just enjoying one anothers company, spending time with family a lot as of late, friends on and off.
We just been really busy with comic book stuff and what not.
But anyway, enough on this blog post and back to playing Final Fantasy 
*wave*

In Progress!

NO MORE ANXIETY MEDS!

Took my last one today! Since we haven't had certain people around in our lives anymore that caused stress, stress has quieted down, and things been more calm. I spoke to my doc about going off them. I feel GREAT !! I am calm/mellow and can actually sit and enjoy a movie/video game without worry on the 1000s of things I wanna get done.

If you would of talked about that with me a year ago and i wasn't on the meds, I would of been in a panic, had panic attacks and so much more. So happy that I was able to get help though that time of things. But now im so happeh!!!!!!!

Updates!

Wow it's been ages since Ive updated bad blogger bad

I know

Anyway its been awhile, hubby & I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary !
We went to check out this sushi/steakhouse place
It was super yummy, not somewhere we can go everyday tho it's $$$$
But super good!

We been working on house projects
Art work
Hubby & I started doing some digital 3d art and working on a comic book
He also got a commission doing art for this one guy
It was a pretty awesome piece til the guy wanted him to mess it up with bruises & stuff >_<

Cause it was a boxing photo....
The guy asked him about doing another but we are kinda on the fence with it
Cause it held back our comic, we wanted to have it out last month but cause of this commission and how many changes the guy wanted over and over and over and over again did I mention over again? It held back our comic and now we are finally at the half way mark!

We just had comicon this past weekend, other then that not much else going on
Still waiting on the adoption stuff
My shoulder is still all jacked up with the tendonitis and partial tear, which the tendonitis seems its now making its way to my elbow, not fun at all!
I still work one day a week demoing food and booze
Hubby got 2 jobs now, doing the same thing hes been doing, but the one job is only 2-3 days a month which isn't bad, 30 more years then retirement give or take anyway lol
Still working on losing weight on my side of things, kinda hard when you can't jump around and do cardio like I used too, cause of my shoulder, plus being on inflammatory meds and pain meds for my shoulder really sucks! But I can tell my weight been going up, i been eating okay tho, i need to do better, thats fer sure!

Buttttttt anyway, I leave you with comicon photos below and hopes I will update more often, maybe my next post ill tell you about the fun at comicon =p

Comicon 2015

10 Years Ago......

10 years ago, my hubby drove 14hrs to Canada to where I was and purposed, we ran off and got married 2 days later, we spoke online and on the phone for about 8 months before this day happened, but here we are 10 years later getting ready to celebrate 10 years of being married this coming Saturday, who knew, so many thought it wouldn't workout since we really never spent time together besides online/phone, others thought and still think we are a "lost cause" but here we are stronger then eve, so take your lost cause and shove it =p

RIP Monty Oum

Happy New Years, Updates & More!

I know it's been awhile since I updated, it's now 2015, getting closer to our 10 year wedding anniversary, and so much excitement and more to be had!

The winter months are always bleh, I don't feel like doing much of anything, no one does, so on hubbys off days we spend a lot of time reading, on the computers, watching tv/movies, pretty much doing a whole lot of nothingness lol

Which is fine by us cause we enjoy it!

Holidays where a bit tough since the passing of hubbys step dad after last summer, we ended up doing diff meals instead of the traditional turkey/ham etc, with his mom we did a shrimp/chicken/sausage jambalaya for Christmas, can't recall now what we did thanksgiving, his dad and step mom we did chili and cornbread for Christmas and taco's at thanksgiving.

Hubby is taking a break from FFXIV, I am still playing, we also picked up Pathfinder on tuesdays which we missed the last 2 sessions cause he was sick one week and now I am sick this week.

The wedding system came out in FFXIV, I had my one character marry a friend of mine in game, which hubby is totally cool with, so don't be surprised to see photos and updates from time to time.

Like this lol

I love how the cut scenes show how the guests you invited are there in them.
The new patch is coming out soon too in a week, expan prolly this summer

Other then that rl been busy for the most part
Still waiting with the adoption stuff
Works been alright for me, still demoing cause of my messed up shoulder, which I am totally fine with, watching people taste food and wine / beer is pretty neat
Works been good for hubby too

Hope you all have a great new years, ill update more soon!

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Costume

This is ..... just no!
One she don't look the part, shes to small, even with her recent gym buff up she hasn't shes what 5'4''? I am sorry but wonder woman is over 6" tall, like seriously?
and what the hell did they think to make the costume BROWN?
UGH!
Not to mention casting Ben Affleck to play Batman that was a kick in the throat as it was
They could of done so much better
Ya call it my nerd rage or whatever you want but I am SO NOT looking forward to seeing this movie, as is my hubby, maybe when it comes on netflix thats a HUGE maybe I have to say, this is totally disgusting, what were they thinking? I don't think they were.
