Some of you may know that my wife Hive account@grisvisa and I were saving for a drawing tablet. After reviewing many options we decided we wanted to buy an iPad Pro. Believe me, this was not easy, this tablets are expensive but are very good for illustration and it was worth the effort. We had this goal for almost two years, Gris has been drawing with the same phone, a Samsung J7 since we began dating and the last six months it has been giving her a headache because of the small storage space.

For this past two years we have been producing some money, but not enough to go and buy an iPad Pro. We have been working creating posts in the other Blockchain and being Airbnb hosts and administrators. At that time we were living with my parents and we were able to contribute to the expenses of the house but that was it, it was very difficult to save to something like this.

We moved to another city, Guadalajara, Jalisco. I started working and was making enough money to cover our needs, but not enough to complete that goal. I decided to quit the same day Hive was launched and started creating more and more content. Gris with her illustrations and me with my random blogs. When Hive pumped we took a decision that it was de perfect moment to withdraw some of the coins that we have been accumulating for the past two years. So we did it.

The PowerDown on Steem was already initiated and we also began a temporary PowerDown on Hive and in Hive account@creary. With the vesting withdrawals and the winnings of the posts, in about a month we were able to buy an iPad Pro 2018 of 11 inches, 515GB of storage space, with an Apple Pencil and some other accessories.

I want to give thanks to everyone that contributed directly or indirectly to this achievement.

Thanks to everyone that engage in our posts with their comments and gave us support in the platform. It's really motivating when a posts has a lot of comments.

I just Stopped the PowerDowns on my account and Hive account@grisvisa's account. We will continue the PowerDown on Steem and on Creary we want to move most of the coins from my account to Gris account and most possibly keep them, I'm really not sure yet.

We will continue creating high quality content and we may still sell some Hive in order to pay our expenses but there are some great illustration gigs for Gris in the horizon and if everything goes well we might be able to re buy the Hive that we sold. Time will tell, but for the moment we ar very excited and also building more income sources.
