Hello everyone!!! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day! So I'm back in Las Cruces. The move went okay. I have things in a storage unit. There are times when I can't find something I need and figure out it's in my storage unit. There are still boxes everywhere. I'm currently looking for a job. I thought I would have one with my previous employer but even though I called them a week before I moved they hired a whole bunch of people as caregivers. They did say I could have a job in the kitchen as a cook. Although I love to cook and they think I'm a pretty good one, it's not something I'd like to do. I was able to be rehired by Victoria's Secret but it's only temporary. Right now it doesn't seem like anything is working out.
I've been having problems with NMSU. I've been trying to get into a summer class. One person was telling me I couldn't register without my transcripts and another person was saying I could. The problem was my previous school said they sent my transcripts on the 12th but NMSU hasn't received them yet. I was finally able to register for my summer art class. This summer I will be working on a tile Mosaic piece that is going to be on a sidewalk in the downtown area here in Las Cruces. I'll post some pictures of the project! The Mosaic is of the moon/sun and stars in a night sky and desert and water. it's a huge project.
nothing really interesting has happened. Normal life in Las Cruces! I'm church hunting currently. I've only been to a few churches so far. I've been spending a lot of time with friends and trying to get back into the groove of things again. One of my friends left for North Carolina for the summer. That was a sad moment because I had just moved back into town and he left a few days after that. I had lots of fun this last weekend! I went to a family get together Saturday, stayed over at a friends house Saturday night, went to the Wine Festival with a few friends and a micro brewery after, worked and relaxed Monday, and today I spent all day in the art studio.
Pictures of the Art Project:
This picture is of what the whole mosaic will look like when finished.
Staining the cement.

The sun finished and put into place on the cement
The walk way cleaned and ready for us to put the rest of the pieces in place.
The sun after it was grouted and cleaned
This picture is of a wave of water. I worked on this piece a few days ago. there were some new students so the instructor was using my work as an example of what to do and what not to do.
The wave again...
Starting a new wave of water. We had to tape down the wax paper and mesh sheet.

Well that's what I'm working on this summer. I'll post more pictures as the project progresses. If you're in Las Cruces this mosaic is going to be in the downtown mall between the Rio Grande Theater and Iguana's. come down and check it out!!
Prayer Requests:
*please pray that God would open up doors for job opportunities for me down here in Las Ctruces.I have bills I need to pay and money is scarce right now.
*Please pray for me as I search for a church
*There are a few things going on in my life right now that I need prayer for. At the moment I would rather not say what they are but if you could still pray for guidance and comfort.
That's all for this post!! For those of you in Albuquerque I wish I could be there for Wednesday night Bible Study. I will surely miss you all!
Love you all lots!
Erica Nicole :)
