I use to Draw!

I use to sketch growing up to relieve stress. Now I only do it for the kid's birthday's(if it is something I can draw). The only thing is I can't put on paper what is in my head but I can look at a drawing and transfer it my way. The hardest thing I drew was the Harry Potter stuff. I drew all the house shields. I draw more cartoon stuff than real life stuff and I don't consider myself an artist but sometimes it does relax me and I've been considering going back to it. (I'm considering trying to draw Betty Boop). Any way here are 3 drawings I did as a teenager. The Horse and puppy I drew froma How To Draw book and Ariel I looked at the movie cover.



This last picture I drew on Gage's wall just looking at the cover of one of the Harry Potter books.

I don't know maybe I'll go back to drawing here soon.

Incredible Hulk -vs- Incredible Hulk

This past Friday night we decided to have a movie night. We bought stuff for homemade pizza and we went to Blockbuster to rent the new Incredible Hulk. The movie was good but call me old fashioned in a way because I prefer the old television series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. In my opinion I prefer a real person over the computer generated Hulk. I mean there are plenty of huge body builders or even wrestlers that would pull off a good Hulk like Lou. If they can do Batman, Spiderman, IronMan etc... with real people why not the Hulk. Correct me if I'm wrong but in the televison series bullets didn't bounce off the hulk he got wounded and healed quickly whereas in the new hulk bullets bounce off, he could fall from a helicopter and not get injured. In the TV series season finale he jumped from a helicopter and died. The New Hulk is entertaining and interesting I just find it more unbelievable. Well that's just my opinion.

Happy Veteran's Day

I have a lot of family that was in the military. I think the family has covered all branches but the Marines. Below are some pictures of my family that served including my dad. There are countless others. I have deep respect for all veteran's and I want to thank you all for everything you have done to serve our country. God Bless You all.

My Hubby Randy

As some of you know Randy of The Way I See It is my husband of the last 14 years. We have 2 beautiful and intelligent children together. I met Randy in high school my junior year and he was a sophomore. We had a few friends in common and that is how we met. we would sit together in the cafeteria on lunch and eventually he had a friend ask me out. We dated off on through school. When we wasn't dating we were real good, close friends. I graduated in 1992 and went on to college (which I didn't finish) and we eventually lost touch. One day my mom came home from working at a local nursing home and told me that Randy was working there as a CNA (Certified Nursing Aide). We started talking again and one night we ran into each other at a festival. We hung out and I helped him put an ear ring in his ear. The next thing I know we were back together and a month and a half later we were married. Several people didn't think we would make it together but I believe we have proved them wrong. We have been through a lot in our marriage and we have alway's survived and persevered.

What attracted me to him to begin with is his way to make me laugh either by impersionations, or just something silly right off the top of his head. He also has a big heart. He is a great provider and a great husband and father. Both of us have our stubborn moments but then again who doesn't. I'm so glad we crossed pathes because I truly believe that he is my soul mate. I love you very much Randy with my whole heart and soul. Thank you so much for staying beside me through everything. You are the greatest and I apologize for hurting you and I never meant to do it.
