a long time coming....

So Ive been waiting to post this, mainly i think i was waiting until it felt real or certain, but its been almost a month and still i don't really believe it, so here goes, I got into the Elam School of Fine Arts. Elam is The University of Aucklands Arts program which Im learning is actually really hard to get into, I'm still not really sure how i did. i know it has A LOT to do with my Family. so here is a much needed Thank you to them. my brother Ashley's fiancee Natalie spent countless hours discussing my dreams and aspirations with me, turning the abstract thoughts into plans, and eventually a portfolio that I fully believe wouldn't have been turned in at all had it not been for her help and support. And also Scott and Geraldine, for again discussing what must be done in order to face the scary possibility of failure at the one thing I want more than anything. and to Jord, for graciously agreeing to move half way across the world to support me in this pursuit. I feel incredibly blessed, and am ready for the challenges that the next four years will I'm sure bring. This is Natalie and I after they took us out to a celebratory Dinner, and my beautiful Flowers!!unfortunately even though Nat warned us and carefully explained how to remove the yellow bits from the inside of the lilies, we forgot and now have lots of yellow spots on our floor..... but they were so Pretty :)
