A Pharmaceutical Commission (did I spell that right?)

My cousin, Morgan, is a brilliant and gorgeous U of U (Go Utes!) student studying to be a pharmacist. She will be graduating this April and will probably make more money in a year than I will in five...I am so proud of her accomplishments! About a year ago, Morgan was asked to organize an auction event for the university. In order to promote the auction she needed visuals. Knowing that I am studying to be an illustrator, she commissioned me to design a logo for the event. She wanted something different and whimsical (well I'll be-two of my favorite things!). The following are the results!

1. Original Pen Drawing (minus his feet, they came later)

2. I added color to the original with prismacolor pencils (yay! his feet are there)

3. Morgan then took the finished piece and digitally added it to her layout.

I was ecstatic to know that my piece would be seen by hundreds of people. It was so much fun to collaborate with Morgan as well. I hope you enjoy!

All pictures are my own, please do not steal, copy or reproduce, thank you!

Weston becomes a Missionary!

I remember the day that Weston received his mission call-Ventura, California. If you know my family, then you know that we are Disney fanatics. We have joked all of Weston's life that he would get called to the Disneyland mission...and the funniest part? He actually got called to serve in Ventura, less than an hour away from one of our favorite places on earth.

 

 Look how sharp and dashing he is!

I can't believe how fast time flies. Weston entered the MTC on September 14th. I thought that I could handle the good-byes, but it ended up being harder than I had imagined. When we arrived, there were six missionaries waiting to greet him and take him into the MTC. We gave him our final hugs goodbye, whispered, "I love you's" and watched as he walked into the best two years of his life. 

This is Elder Hamilton with his MTC companion Elder Lentz (from Alaska)

Weston left the MTC on Monday. He called from the SLC airport at around 7:00 am (good grief, I know!). He was so excited to get immersed in serving in California. Hearing his voice again made me homesick for him, but I know that he is where he needs to be, doing the work of our Savior. I love you Elder Hamilton and will be seeing you soon!
