This is how I feel right now.

Two degrees, lots of experience, lots of opportunities, no idea what to do.
Any suggestions?

thanks a lot, em.

I am completely obsessed with monsters today. Not gross, bloody, yucky, bleh monsters...the cute, graphic, cuddly, quirky ones. I was already having my students draw portraits of the monsters that bother them at night when Emily showed me a site with tons of these graphic little monsters. I can't get them out of my head. I was drawing monsters and creatures all day in my sketchbook...

love these.

I don't know why I have such a crush on these tights. They kind of remind me of Beetle Juice, and I know that they would only look good on .02% of the American female population. I don't even know if I would wear them, but I love them just the same.

TO MY FELLOW BFA STUDENTS/RECENT GRADS

Hey friends! I'm in the market for someone to photograph my show. I'm wondering:

a) Did you have a professional photograph your show?

b) If so, who?

c) If not, did you do it?

d) And, if you answered "c," how did they turn out?

e) If you aren't a BFA student, but know a good photographer, please provide some form of contact information in comment form.

Thanks!

this looks exciting...

I'm getting so excited for San Francisco!

Well, we're back from our delightful honeymoon where we cozied up in a cabin in Southern Utah. It was perfect. Pictures of the wedding, honeymoon, and future comments from the peanut gallery will be posted on our "married blog:"

Add that to your bookmarks (for those of you that have them) and check back here once in a while for random nothing posts. Thanks to all of you who came to the wedding and made our day perfect!

Meaghan Smith, Wish Upon a Star

Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong

Mindy Smith, My Holiday

These lovely ladies are helping me get through the week. I just LOVE their holiday music! Ms. Emily showed me Mindy and Meaghan...I can't thank her enough!

Did I mention I'm getting married the day after tomorrow!? :)

happy belated birthday!

So, I wasn't going to put one of these up because I was supposed to SEE Natalie on her birthday. But then my car died (battery fried, jumper cables destroyed), and Mike and I ended up staying in Provo. :(

So, I'd like to wish my "little" now-17-year-old sister a late but still very

HaPpY bIrThDaY

for all the world to see! Or, at least, whoever reads this.

I love you Nat!

PS - Does she have longer eyelashes me? We've come to our own conclusions (I'm not actually asking, just pointing out her delicious lashes).

PSS - That boy is not her boyfriend, simply her date to winter dance. And, I must say, that outfit we picked out for her was pretty incredible.

married blog.

Hey kiddies -

I'm getting married in less than two weeks, and I guess it would be fitting to have a blog that tracks my adventures with my (almost) husband! So, if you're interested, the online home of the future Missy & Mike WALLACE will be:

mandmwallace.blogspot.com

I don't know what I'm going to do with this one.

Love!

FOR RENT!

This is the only picture I have of my sweet apartment. It's beautiful, clean inside and out, and my contract NEEDS TO SELL! If you know any girls in the Provo/Orem area looking for a great apartment full of great girls, please tell them I'm selling my contract. It includes:

• 2 shared bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms
• large living room/kitchen area
• front and back porch
• private parking underneath
• local and efficient management
• 2 blocks from campus
• in a "Condo Row" ward
• winter contract ONLY (they can extend if they want, but I'm only selling the winter part which is hard to come by)

Have any girl you know is looking for an apartment contact me: missmelissaj@gmail.com . Thanks!

(And SORRY I have resorted to such desperate measures to sell...)

Can't stop listening...

...to either of these. They provide a nice contrast, actually.

I'm just glad it's time to officially bring Sarah out.

I'm gettin' married...

...in less than a month! I can't believe it! And I can't wait!

Coming next August...

Well, I guess we're actually going next August...

Mike has been working his tail off to get a great job for after graduation. As the semester has gone on, we've been incredibly blessed to have employment options. We finally accepted an offer in San Francisco yesterday! Mike will be working as a consultant, and while we don't yet have an apartment, we're excited to live downtown in a fantastic city.

We're so excited to live by Ty & Becca, Curt & Naomi, (hopefully) Josh & Mame, and some of our dear friends. We hope some of you will come and visit!

come one, come all...

I have three pieces in this show. It's being put up in the JFSB on Tuesday with an opening reception at the bottom of the spiral staircase Thursday evening from 6-8 pm. Hope to see you there!

little yellow house

Mike and I found a little yellow house to rent today! We are renting the main floor and we are so excited! The kitchen has a navy blue and white checkered floor. :) Also, ironically, the current tenants are sweet Ali (now Spittler, formerly Close,) and her husband. They're moving to DC in December and we lucked out to snag their contract before they took off!

just read this...

I recently joined a book club run by the two and only (ha!) Jules Ferreira & Brittany Bland. We read this book for our first...book reading? It was very fun. And somewhat predictable. But still fun and engaging!

Click here to see them. Which one should we use for announcements?

M&M December 2008

Mike and I took engagement pictures today! We went to lunch with Anna and Jonathan (Johnathan?) before the shoot to lessen the potential awkwardness of smiling and kissing for people we had never met. We had a blast! For some reason it made the wedding seem...a lot closer. That's good and bad considering the huge amount of school work I have to have done before it all happens. I can't wait to see how they turned out. Hopefully we'll find one good enough to send out with the invitations...
