Update: October

So I realize that it has been several months since I have posted anything to my blog, for that I am sorry, things have been kinda busy and keeping it updated wasn't a priority. But I have found the time to start updating once again, but it may not be as often as it was in the past. So here is a bit of whats been going on over the past couple of months.

Well first, Sean will be getting out of the Army in the upcoming months and things are a little stressed over what is going to happen when he gets out. We are both praying that he gets the job he wants, which will take him back over seas for almost two years. I'm not thrilled about how long he'll be gone, but it's what he wants and I'm actually kinda ready for him to go back too.

Second, I have been spending more time focusing on my school to improve my grades, but you wouldn't be able to tell at the moment with my current grade in Economics, I'm just not that great of a test taker. But my skills have been improving in Photoshop and Illustrator, along with the grades of my assignments and projects. I have also been self teaching myself how to digital paint and draw on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which I recently got and lot.

Third, I have been spending more time as a housewife, wanting to limit as much stress as possible with everything that's going on and wanting to focus more on myself and my health, which you can never do too much of.

There have also been other things mixed into the bunch but these are the main reasons or excuses, but whatever the reason its time to get things back on track.

Ice Skating Line Sketch

This is a line sketch I did for class last week. Didn't think it came out too bad. 

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

Starring:  Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron

"In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen." IMDB

I wanted to see this for two reasons: One, it looked better then Mirror Mirror. And two, I'm a  sucker for the dark side of the princess' tales. I have to say for the most part I was pleased with the film.

The biggest disappointment was Kristen Stewart's acting, she being the main character was upstaged by the evil queen, Thor and even her seven little dwarves. Having been injured and on the verge of death in her previous flims one would think that she would have learned to make it convincing by now. If she had been a bit better or they had found a better actress to play Snow White this film would have been one of my favorites of the year. 

Everyone knows the story of Snow White so there wasn't much suspense to the story line, but the changes that were made created a whole new tale. And the adding of the underline love story was the prefect touch, who says every princess has to end up with a prince.

If you can block out the fail acting in this film it could be one of your favorites of the year.
