So I have barely even touched the computer in the last couple of months, let alone thought to update this. Sorry, I guess I'm just more of a private person about a lot of things in my life; that's what my art is for. Expressing without explaining. But there are plenty things going on now that if I don't try to write down or something I might go mad. It's hard to keep certain things bottled up, even for an artist.

Life in general I can't complain about. I'm very happy. Hugh makes sure of that and I can't imagine what I'd do without him. My grandfather's visiting right now, he came to see the gallery and how I'm doing; I haven't seen him in years so it's nice catching up. All in all, this has been a really good year so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will stay that way.

Some things can't be expressed with painting or drawing or whatever else I'm feeling at the moment. Because I don't even understand these things yet. Hugh's reading his part of the book first and then it's my turn. I've gotten into a lot of crazy situations in my life but this tops them all and I didn't have control over it. Not an ounce of control. Apparently this is destiny, which I believed in for the most part until last night but Christ..it's a little different now. I'll have to try writing this all down again once I figure it out better. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be protecting, other than Hugh and our life together. Maybe Pop Pop can shed some more light on things today before he has to leave. Or maybe I should wait for this person who's supposed to approach Hugh and I.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't deserve Hugh Jackman. I fucked up bad the other night and what does he do? Buys us an amazing house in the desert, outside the city limits. It's the most perfect home for us, I couldn't have designed it any better myself. It has spare rooms for us to set up our studios in, it has a beautiful pool, and a huge courtyard for Brando to play in. I'll make him post pictures later because I know he took some.

Thanks to everyone who's dropped by the gallery so far. I hope you're enjoying what you bought. I'm about to put up like twelve new pieces this weekend, so I'm excited about that. Everything is going so well I can't believe it; it really does feel like I'll wake up any minute and realize this has all been a dream.

Apparently the gallery and I have some kind of exclusive in a Las Vegas magazine and Hugh has to take pictures of the gallery and some of me too. I don't want to model anymore, if I did I wouldn't have quit to begin with, but I'm sure he'll be able to talk me into it.

Brando keeps bringing his toy over to me so I better go out to the courtyard with him and play for a bit before I head to the gallery for the evening. Harper, I need to talk to you, by the way. Call me! Or I'll drop by your shop sometime soon.

The gallery will be open tomorrow, for anyone who thinks they might need a piece of art for their home or office. I can do commissions as well if there's something on your mind, just track me down in the gallery and talk with me about it and I'll have it done for you as soon as possible. I'll be in the gallery tonight as well, just as a showing of sorts. I won't be selling anything just yet but I thought some of the tourists or hotel occupants might want to take a peek.

I'm really..cheap with prices too because painting is what I love doing. I don't consider it 'work'. I used to sell my paintings on the boardwalk in Sydney for like 20 USD. So, yeah. I don't charge a lot here in the gallery, I want to paint as much as I can and create pieces everyone can enjoy or relate to. So hopefully some of you will find something that speaks to you in one way or another.

I can't believe I have my own gallery. My entire life I've been traveling and searching for a place I could finally do what I love the most. I had that in Sydney too but it was such a casual thing..now I can make it my profession, finally. Screw modeling and acting; none of that was for me anyway. I loved living in Sydney, it felt like the perfect city for Hugh and I but this is where I need to be now. I'm just so damn lucky that Hugh moved with me, I don't know what I'd do without him.

I've been working on the gallery all day. It's in the lower level of the Babylon hotel, which is also where we're living for now until we can find another place. I've actually been here for a few days setting things up and I just now dragged my laptop out to put it away. The gallery is coming along nicely though, I think I should have everything ready by this week so I can have a grand opening this weekend. I've been so damn busy with it I haven't had a chance to see the city yet.

All this traveling around and I've only been to Vegas once before for like three hours during the day. Crazy, ain't it? Hugh said he'd take me out though, maybe tonight, so that will be fun. Oh, and everyone's welcome to come check out the gallery once it's open; I guess I better come up with a name for it soon too.
