Here Comes the Sun

Intro To Audrey

The quick flash and the bright lights that came with it, it was the only thing I knew then, rather the only thing I cared about. I wasn't much for sports, or even theater, I mean I was in some plays. don't get me wrong I was very dedicated to being on stage, what I enjoyed most was being behind the camera. I know that sounds strange for a teenage girl to want to be behind the camera rather than have her picture taken, but I enjoyed capturing peoples candid moments and seen raw emotion come to life. That's why when I entered the workforce I couldn't wait to experience real life photography and not staged events.

after the cap and gown came off, I went home and of course got ready for any after graduation parties like any other 18-year-olds that just graduated does. After the parties were over I realized that would probably be the last time i'd see any of these people it wasn't so much scary as it was relieving that I had a future before me.

after a long summer on family vacations and hanging out with friends and then packing everything I own, I headed to college station. Little did I know my childhood was ending. With the sappy goodbyes and the warm hugs from my parents I finally headed to the dorm room by myself and began the next four years of my life, without my parents. I studied fashion marketing and media, and I also took pre-law classes. After graduating college and going to obtain my degree in fashion marketing and media, I headed to several more years of college which was law school.

Most people think that in college you're going to meet your soulmate, rather than be to college for what you're actually there for, which is to get an education and start your future. when I was in high school, I was a junior and I met this man , rather boy, named Ryker. he was a senior when I was a junior, he was in marching band, and basically a nerd. But i fell for him. And we dated up until his freshman year of college. that's when things fell apart. He was in college, or more he'd was going to college I was going to be far away and I'd be finishing up high school. we both knew we had an expiration date. it was heartbreaking at the time. And then a month passed and I met a guy that I had known my whole life, and he liked me when I was a freshman but we never really pursued anything until after Ryker and I broke up.

His name was Nathaniel, he wanted to study business and maybe someday create his own business. And I found that incredibly sexy, and he was someone I could see myself with. but one July 4 he broke up with me and blocked me on everything, I guess it's just the way life works.

after that, yes I was devastated, but I was only 17 at the time, what did i really know about love? The summer before my senior year I spent time getting to know myself I know very cliche thang to do after a break up. But I was with Ryker for so long and I just jumped into relationship I needed time to just be single.

after a long period of time just hating Nathaniel for not giving me any closure and just making me think that he found someone else. I found peace, not with him but with myself.

Then senior rolled by, I went to prom I went to homecoming, all the football games, it was a great year.

College was different for me. I went to a state college and ended up going to the same college as Nathaniel, my luck right? we ended up getting back together and stayed together for about six months until I found out he was cheating on me. With a girl that was studying business or something she was pretty slutty either way. I dated like two guys throughout college and then went to law school for 3 years and found a new batch of guys. Most of them found me intimidating because I was a girl lawyer kicking their butt. Especially since I graduated state college early, it only took me three years to get my degree so I definitely had the upper hand.

I graduated law school and continued my journey and landed in New York where I am now. I am now 25, running a huge fashion company, not trying to brag or anything, OK maybe just a little. while I was working through law school I began to get some experience and experience in the fashion industry because I knew I wanted to do that for sure. Not that I didn't want to be a lawyer I just didn't know if I'd be successful at it.

During my senior year of law school, I got a promotion and ended up working for a small company that had a lot of potential and during my last year of law school they offered me a very high position for starting as an intern and before I knew it I was in the top notch of my company. and ended up completely changing the name because it was Whittington designs and obviously that wasn't me, I also changed the dynamic of the company. We started volunteering and also giving clothes to 3rd world countries. And while I was traveling across the world, and was in Costa Rica, I stumbled upon a guy, he had dark hair, and was mentoring children, and helping them speak english. I ended up helping with a bunch of things he did, he was on like a year mission trip. And was only two months into it. We helped recover animals and send them back into the ocean. Needless to say it was the best few weeks of my life. We got pretty close, as friends. But i knew i'd be leaving and he'd be staying and traveling to 9 other countries. But then He told me that they had an open spot, and I could still pass out clothes. I really had nothing in the states to go back to except A designs, which I was already on this journey, and I could work from my laptop. And the actual business would be run by my small design team.

It was the best 9 months of my life. And at the end we went back to new york, which he actually lived there. And was a photojournalist.

When we came back I was swamped in designs, and parties to plan that we barely saw each other. But we managed to call each other, and sometimes catch up.

Now I of course am still the owner of A designs and also do several court cases working to help parents get custody, get adoptions through,  etc. I live in a two-story apartment or condo whatever you'd like to call it. I have three dogs, Stevie she's my very adorable golden retriever, I have Gracie, which is my corgi, and then I have Mick and he is newest addition, and he is a Bernese Mountain dog.

I'm very much into dogs. usually with Stevie or Mac I take them on jogs or sometimes if we're traveling to somewhere that there's mountains which I do actually quite frequently with my job at the fashion company. as for Gracie she's not very into jogs or exercise of any kind. which is OK because she's an expert snuggler and is very obedient and I've had her the longest.

as you can tell I love my dogs but as for loving a human I hope i really found someone that'll love me, my three dogs, and support my two jobs and just be there for me.
