The Point of No Return

Its here. the end. don don don...........

well yep its here. my portfolio packet. where it decides my future. yep this little packet will decide if i stay at USU and do interior design or if i will head to Weber and do graphic or interior kitchens from them. I hope to stay at USU.

The packet of doom.........



it contains a cd of instructions of what i need to do
1. draw a piece of furniture of detail or as a whole
2. draw an abstract of an object in 4 different ways
3. do a whole page of architectural drawing (this 1 is a killer. all hand written and in perfect form, in size and space.)
4. design a logo for your future company that describes me (what?? i need help on this one)
5. Floor plan of a room in a house (kitchen,bedroom,bath,etc.)

its due on April 13th and then 2 weeks later we learn if we make it or not!!hmmmmm i might not have any nails anymore and a few more cold sores from all the stress

i don't know if i can do this. pray for me. ill keep you posted. if i vanish for a while, you'll know why.




So it's USU vs. Weber. what will the verdict be.... I hope USU. I hate purple.

2nd I am late on wishing my amazing father a very happy birthday!! he would have turned 70 this year on Jan. 27th! He was an AMAZING example to me in every aspect of life! I miss him so so much! i miss his phone calls and his long talks about life every time i went home!i miss the four wheeler rides and horse back rides with him and telling me his amazing views on life! i miss his big old hands with his HUGE veins that I would play with every sunday:) he was such a huge part of my life, more than i ever really knew until i couldn't have him in it anymore! I love him so so much and i hope that he knows that!! I know that he is watching over me and keeping on the straight and narrow cause for sure i need someone pushing in the right direction!!





He loved babies!!! and all of his grandkids!! he was so proud of all of them and all that they have done! he loved to play with them at all ages and take them on horseback rides and four wheeling trips and camping. he loved being outdoors and passed that love on to me and all of his kids!! he lived life and he loved it and i hope that i can do the same!! his favorite thing to do was have water fights at all family gatherings!! he would start it and we would have so much fun! he would always say he won, but rest of us would disagree:) that is one of my favorite memories of my dad, he always acted like a child!! my sister Kathryn was asked once, "when are you going to grow up?" and she said "when my father does" and it is so so true!!









I love my dad so so much! I want to wish him a happy birthday and say I love you and miss you!! you are the greatest dad anyone could have asked for and an amazing example and i hope i can turn out 1/2 as good!!! I love you!!
