New post, new post!

I had been busy the past few days that we got home to my family in Chicago. So many things had been happening lately. I'm so happy and I love every minute spending time with my sisters and brother. My nieces and nephews are a riot and I can't get enough of them! I can't believe how much I missed my papa and mama, I regressed to a little girl just sleeping the hours and basically enjoying their company. It's a big plus too that most of my relatives from both sides are in Chicago. Yes, we basically took over the city. =/

Seriously though I had also been busy...with my work! Sometimes its really a bit awkward to say its work because its really not. Honestly, there's not a single moment that I feel that its real "work" work though there are sleepless nights and long days. All I know is I'm doing something I absolutely love and getting paid for it. There is nothing better in this world than to wake up each morning eager to do something you are absolutely passionate and in love with--and get paid good money for it.

It's also a treat that my mama can see me these days doing my thing. I love how she likes everything and seeing how excited she gets and how proud she is with my creations and designs. Sometimes I still get teary-eyed and really touched when I see her get so excited with my jewelry. This, my mama who has always been a bit snooty with the jewelry she wears.

She has been supportive of me even from the start. I know I'm so lucky to have such supportive family because not everyone who is in the same position as I am would have that. Looking back, if I didn't have this much support, this would have been just a hobby or a maybe phase in my life. I had always expected them in the beginning to scoff at me and to tell me to get a real job considering I graduated with two college degrees.
BUT NO. That fueled me from the start. When I have kids someday it is my utmost hope that I can help them to realize too whatever they dream to be.
I will let them be whatever they want to be, I will encourage them when I see even the tiniest of inclination to something if its something that makes them absolutely happy. =))
