Hello all, this is M. You may also refer to me as Mrs. H.
As you all know, I've just gotten married. My father came to see us both this week, we had a good visit and a warm welcome to both sides of the family.
My husband and I are moving into our fist house and out of our apartment. I'm thinking about moving to an artistic town in a year from now with my husband. We both have interest living in the mountains, away from the east coast. I talked with him briefly today about moving to the mountains and he told me that he wouldn't mind living there for a year together.
Through this joint account I enjoy a shared virtual art gallery and community with a fellow artist, B. Contrary to this interaction, I believe that because I do independent art studies, rather than attending an art college for a BA in fine arts, I could make due with a brief period of in-person interaction. It would be a pleasure to be with my kind of people in my kind of city.
It would be a pleasant experience to venture into an art town with my husband so that I can establish a social network of fellow artist. Thus I will experience an artistic lifestyle in a social manner, rather than strictly individual practice and studies as I evolve my passions. I envision that he would enjoy a year of marriage under our belt in the mountains with me. The city I'd visit growing up as a child has never been a place I've lived at. That being said, we discussed and concluded that we see fit to live in the mountains for a year. Where we move to next, who knows.
This year I will be going back to college, I plan to work from home and sell art on the side. Currently I am making a few paintings for our new home. We will be visiting the mountains this year for our wedding, where we will pick out a meaningful, symbolic souvenir of our marriage to fill our home. We will look around for a place to settle for a year while in town and do at home research.
Currently I have been experiencing the exact opposite of a year long artist block. I'm studying art again and discovering new things, from cooking recipes, to conceptional geometric art. Normally I study traditional and realistic art, and I was into digital art for a very long period of time. In that period of time, the wide range of study blossomed with possibilities that transformed from paper to technology. I had put that down for a year, now to only pick it back up in a balanced devotion to my marriage, my work, and my passion.
While I had artist block, I settled into town and grew as a person. Not only did I meet the love of my life, I found direction in life. I've grown stronger and smarter as a person this past year,. There is a lot to be scheduled on our calendars this year. My husband will be achieving his work related goals laid out in front of him. I myself have so much to learn as an artist, a wife, and into my future profession. We have a series of deadlines to meet to do everything on schedule ahead of us, and we're ahead of the game.
I intend to do massage on the side one day. For a while massage will be my main income until I have earned my Associates.
I would like to then achieve my BA in sociology, with a minor in deviance. My husband shows interest in construction, as I show interest in interior design. He has an interest in business and psychology, as well as sociology. We intend to work together in the long run, working together in the community helping young teens and adults in a facility. I enjoy marketing and economics as a fundamental study. We met at work in the kitchen, I find it to be no surprise that we enjoy cooking together, we look forward to working together, and that our passions on the side are similar and are developing at the same time.
As the spark ignited my detailed, unfocused artistic spree, I began developing study material while enjoying quality time with my husband. We went camping at the beach. I began making recipes. My husband, my father and manager would like me to design tattoos for them. It has been some time since I've designed a tattoo or a logo, so I intend to practice my art to develop a new set of skills, while going to school and working from our home.
My husband and I are over joyed, we could not be more happy. We will be enjoying our years together, growing as individuals and as a couple. I love my spouse in an open and honest, childlike passionate relationship. We are making it in this world. This is just the beginning. We are setting the foundation of our lives together, and we look forward to starting a family one day. I couldn't picture my life with any other.
With best regards, My husband and I have many memories to make.
I'll write you all again some time.
