Happy Father's Day!!!
Well, day started off rocky. I'm not going to lie about that. Woke up about 11am. Which hasn't happened in a while. Usually getting up between 7-9am. Lounged around for a bit with Jerry and I get a text from mom saying Lunch is on it's way. So Jerry and I start getting ready to leave, however, we had a few delays. Needless to say, I was very frustrated and not a happy person when I walked in the door to my parents house, who have already eaten father's day lunch together and dad already on the couch watching movies. Things really change when you move out. You miss so much. You forget that things don't wait on you anymore. You have your life, they have theirs. Still trying to get over all of that. Anyways, living with Jerry is good. We do fight sometimes, not as often as we did before we took a "break". As painful as that was, it was the best thing for us...7 months and going strong. we don't even count that as a break. Still looking for another job...though I am very lazy on that. I really hate my job but i'm one of those people who wants a job to land on their lap. I know it's not going to happen though:(
Oh well, I am planning on going to Alabama in August. First trip i've gone on since April. (I know I've missed a lot) Hopefully going to drag Jerry with me so we can take his car(I love it)(better gas mileage than my truck.) and he can meet the rest of my Alabama family.

random thoughts...

I have caught myself wondering alot lately about what direction my life is going in. Since I was 8 years old, I've wanted to be a teacher, but now that I am in school and pursuing that career choice, I constantly find myself thinking about other choices... Like for instance, even though some people don't believe I can do it, I would like to further myself into Correctional Officer... I've sent in an application, however they have not gotten back to me yet. I truly believe that if this is meant to be, it'll happen. I'm not going to push it. I've also changed my major to Early Childhood Development instead of Elementary Education...which really is just an age difference in teaching.. I will be teaching Pre-K to Kindergarden instead of 1-5th grade. I've moved back home due to some financial situations, however I am not giving up. I will end up moving back out, just not right now. I currently still work at Hell Dixie... not going to change for awhile, because everywhere that I have looked or applied to just aren't hiring right now:( Jerry and I are also still dating... Five months April 11th:) I'm not going to lie, it has been rough. I think in some areas of our relationship we grew stronger while other areas failed. We still have a communication problem, but only to the extent that we don't pay attention to eachother. Mainly me, he says something and I'm off in LALA land...He's a pretty amazing guy. he's still currently looking for a job, but I have faith in him and cannot wait to see him succeed in whatever he does.

new year... old habits.

well, same old stuff has been happening with me. Aside from the fact im in my second semester of school-yippee?... Jerry and I have been dating for a little over 3 months now, and we are happy. Both of us have started shooting pool on a regular bases, although he does it a lot longer than i do because after a while, i get tired of losing to him:) Schools pretty hectic. I have two online classes that I sometimes have to FORCE myself to do because when I get online, i turn into my aunt Kate and find something else I want to do and then lose all focus on what i need to do. I'm still working(barely)... I average about 16 hours a week. some of it's my fault, but its because I'm trying to put school first. I make do with what money I get. I don't have but like one or two bills at the moment, and as long as i can keep from overdrafting or eating out we are good. Jerry has actually been around alot more. He introduced me to fishing(even though I kinda grew up around it.) and I have somewhat fallen in love with it. I even caught a bigger fish than him one day... couldn't get the smile off my face- he kept looking at me and laughing because that fish scared me and i barely got him on the bank. I have my own fishing pole(pink) and surprised him by getting my fishing license one day... Lately it seems anything I do involves Jerry. Fishing and shooting pool never really crossed my mind unless I was at Gramma and Papas house. Now pool is almost a nightly thing and fishing(when its warmer out) is a good way to spend a couple of hours alone. Spring break is in a couple of weeks and I don't really know what I want to do yet... but knowing me, it will involve dragging jerry somewhere(he doesn't seem to mind...lol) anyways... I've currently lost track of what I was really going to type... besides the fact that my hair is red again(not on purpose)... looks alright, but it was a LONG process to get it from the ugly purple it had gone to.

Guess I should get everybody caught up on what's going on since I never call, text, email or see anybody anymore...
Work's going great and school, well, is school. I'll be done with my first semester in a couple of weeks so I get a little break for the holidays:) Also, I have a boyfriend whose name is Jerry. We didn't know it when we met, but he actually was friends with Jon and Krystle and we had met previously before, but didn't really care back then. We've been together(officially) since 11/11, but we "met" the Saturday before. He's a great guy, who I'm sure you all will like. Mom loves him, Dad, not so much... but that's ok. Trucks running fine. Takes 2/3 of my paycheck to fill it up now:( Haven't really been home much anymore as I am always finding more ways to get myself into trouble;) not really.... just been working, at school, or hanging with friends:)
Will write more later.

I guess it's been awhile.

I guess it's been a little while since I last blogged.
Not much has been going on, just school, work, school, work, school, and work. I did get sick a few days ago and missed a day or two of school. Took a few tests, started hanging out with some friends and figured out that putting gas in a truck is actually more expensive than i thought. oh well, all part of growing up.

Getting Used To It

Well, School started Monday. I slept a total of 30 minutes to an hour the night before because of nerves. Slept a little bit longer Tuesday and slept about 5 hours last night. It's been going pretty good. However things have flipflopped. Math is now one of my best classes. I'm taking PreAlgebra(collegeprepclass), English, History to 1877, and Music Appreciation. I end the school day at 12pm, but then I'm either on my way home to get homework done and relax or to get homework done and then go to work. I now understand why my parents are tired all the time. My day usually started around 9-10am and then ended about 2-3am. Now it starts between 4:30-5:30 in the morning and ends hopefully around 11pm.(NOT including weekends!) My busiest days of school are Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have 3 classes from 8am-12pm and those are the main days that I work. I'm very fortunate to have all my classes pretty close to eachother. They are right next to eachother, and two are in the same building! Out of all this new stuff, some other things happened. I started hanging out with people from work(helps that we go to the same college:) and we all went to a club last Thursday. I also got a new truck. It's a Nissan Frontier and I've only had it for two days. Dad decided to make some mistakes on the title, so we had to wait another day.
Thats all thats been happening so far- will try to post more later.

New Post

Things have been going very well for me these past few weeks. I've started managing my money a little better and started branching myself out a little more. I've made more money because I've gotten more hours at work, even though I am still looking for either a second job or a higher paying job closer to school. School starts in just a couple weeks. I'm not nervous about it at all. I'm more excited than anything. I'm also back in physical therapy, but for my shoulder this time. I think I am only going to be in it for a week or so because I honestly believe there is nothing wrong with my shoulder. I had my pictures done, so if anyone wants a new photo, just let me know. That's where I am NOT like my mom. If you want a picture of me, you have to tell me, otherwise I'm not going to send you one. Other than that, things are good...
