What a wonderful 24 hours this has been between us. We've done well. No arguing. How exciting! I really do have a lot of love for you. : ) Can this last for weeks, or even months, better yet, years? Oh how I hope so.
Work-wise---this is the last week of school with children present. Shew! I've survived a school-year. Hmm...time for reflection. Now I just need to find out if I will be working this summer. Hopefully they'll tell us soon.
Okay...I've actually gotta go update my resume.

Shew...Long Time No Write!
Hello once again! This blog is soo in need of an update, so here goes...
I'm still working at Head Start. I have recently decided to go into the Arbonne business and I think it will be amazing!!! I also am going to check into pharmaceutical sales. I wouldn't mind wearing cute little skirt suit outfits and not sitting at a desk all day :).
D and I have had our fair share of problems lately, which I think could caused a lot by me. I'm not taking all the blame, but a lot of it b/c I have had a lot of inside stuff going on lately. I wanna go back to school, but deciding what for is difficult. I have been moody.
If anyone knows of anyone needing a guard instructor/asst. for this upcoming fall season, let me know...
Well I guess that's about it for me, folks. I'll post again soon.

It's Been a Long Time...I know.
I know I haven't done an entry in a long time. I just haven't made the time. So I'm still at Head Start. It's okay. I went and had dinner w/Bill the other night....haha. It was fun. I almost fell and we laughed....clumbsy me. I can't believe Christmas is almost here...
wow! But at least I'm pretty much done with my shopping.
Funny story---tonight I went to Central Park. I asked the guy at the window if they had lemonade. He says, "No, but we have sweet tea." It would be one thing if he would've smiled or laughed to let me know he was being funny, but he did not. He had a serious look on his face. Yeah, I mean lemonade, sweet tea, they taste very similar; they're interchangeable. :) Oh well....
D and I are doing well... :) I'm very happy about us. I wonder where we'll be this time next year. I wonder what we'll be doing. hmm.... oh the possibilities.
Hope everyone out there is well!

That's the song I'm listening to right now by Brenton Brown. It really says a lot. Anyone else know this song? It's awesome! It should be my anthem. I think I may have mentioned this topic before in another entry, but I just really want to be back close to God. I saw an ad for a book called Gripped by the Greatness of God by James MacDonald. I'm thinking of checking into it. One of the quotes from the ad was, "Invite Him to penetrate your heart through the truth of His Word and He will drive the indifference and complacency from your life." I don't want to not know my opinion of things, and I was almost at that point once in my life, where I felt myself rather close to God, but it's faded away. I should probably pick back up with The Purpose-Driven Life too b/c it was a blessing most days I read it.
So on a LIGHTER note...Lori and I had fun the other day (Saturday) we went Halloween shopping. We now have some great decorations! And Lori has a great wig! We...wait let me change that...I spent way too much money at Target, but the things were too cute to pass up. We got a great bat that is a candle holder and looks good w/an orange candle behind it. It currently resides on our stairway--flying, and hanging around.
Hasta!

Okay, so by request I need to update...I thought about that the other day actually, but anyway. I am now working for Knoxville-Knox Co. Head Start. It's going okay, but I think I'll be happier when things really get going and I get to start doing more stuff. I'm not really doing much right now it seems like. I am a Family Specialist. I work with the families and connect them to the resources they need. It's nice having a real job with regular hours (for the most part).
I've been going to the Rush lately. I joined w/D b/c we got a good deal! I'm enjoying it, but something about it just isn't quite the same as TRECS...oh wait I know...it's not a walk across the street. haha :)
D and I have been doing GREAT! The past few days have been wonderful. We've made dinner together a lot lately too, which is nice. Okay, that's about all the sweet talk I can handle right now.
I went to the UT football game Saturday, and was sad, wait, maybe sad isn't the right word. I was...as D called it...melancholy. I was sooooo surprised to see an equipment exchange. woah! hmm...And were those band alternates who were picking up the flags on the sideline during the performance? I didn't get to pregame until the part where the TN flags come through the SEC flags in the end zone. So I caught it on the end. I was amazed to look up and not really see anybody shakin' their booty...I thought I left a legacy...hahahaha...I did go over and visit at which point katie b. informed me that she and heather j. were dancin' for me, so that was good to hear! It was just hard being at the game, and just in the atmosphere, but not being in guard. I had to walk to the game in a big crowd, had to sit w/some crazy students who had to use words like the f word in every sentence, if not for every word, who reeked of alcohol (hahahaha...several got asked to leave by da po po and the security guys...yay!), and who were just being crazy college kids. I know I'm only 21 (soon 22) and sound like some 60 yr old, but it's just me. I never really got into the whole crazy college experience and don't really understand it. I would rather interact w/more mature adults. hehe.
Okay, now that I've written this much...shew!....I'm gonna get goin', but ya'll holla at a sista!

Finally....I got a job! I got the official word this past Friday. I had to take my physical and all that stuff today, and I start Thursday. I'm so excited! I'll have a normal job w/nights and weekends off. woohoo! And it's nice to finally be done with JCPenney.
I had dinner with Bill, Russ, Shaun, and Casey this past Friday, then I went and watched band camp around 8ish that evening. It was good to see my peeps again. However, it was bittersweet, b/c it also made me miss band. :(
I want to go see The 40 Year Old Virgin. My friend Grant went and said it was a good movie. I think it looks funny!
It seems that I don't really have a whole lot to say right now, but just wanted to give an update!
Later Amigos!

Yesterday was a great day! I worked the Front Desk at KARM yesterday for the first time in several months and it ended up being such a blessing! There were lots of conversations about God and the Bible. It was sort of an overload in the beginning, but by the end of my shift, I felt "fed" again..sort of. It's hard to explain. I guess I've just been feeling distant from God lately, and it felt nice to feel closer to Him and His Word again!
Today's been pretty good too. The past few days w/D have been great too! aww...
I think I'm going to go visit Black Oak Heights Bapt. Church tonight. I've never been there before, but I heard them once on the radio I think and the message was interesting. Anyone ever been?
Oh and my interview w/Head Start went very well! I am hopeful about this one working out. But...I hesitate to say that b/c I've thought other jobs had a possibility too, and they didn't happen... I'm suppose to hear something from them this week. Maybe I can say "hey, hey, hey goodbye"---to the JCP forever!
So I didn't go to the last Big Tease show...I can't believe it...this loyal fan was not there!!! But, I was sooo tired. It was a long day. It'll be a-ight! Katie B, Eric Daabs (Bill), Russ, Nikki, Casey, Jim Bob, and the list could go on (for those of you I didn't include here)...I miss you all!!! We should get together soon.
Where do you all think most people make their life-long friends??? Elem./Middle/High school? College? Work? I know I've made friends in each of those, but life-long...hmm...I'm thinking college and work.

DATE NIGHT....(w/o dates---minor details)
Mine and Lori's date night went GREAT!!! we went to the grocery store and got all the necessities for a wonderful lasagna, then we made a couple of other stops...hehe. We are wonderful dates together. We never had an awkward silence, we weren't all over each other, we were able to laugh and cut up, and we had good conversation. She's wonderful. hahahaha. No but seriously we had a great time. We watched a movie called ... umm... i don't know. Something about crying. crying baby... no that's not it...hehehehe..i don't know. Maybe Lori will blog about it, then you folks will know.
It's gonna be sooo weird feeling when everyone's back in school except for me. But maybe I'll have a job by then, and can be prosperous. Yay! So I have an interview with Head Start tomorrow morning, one with RSCC on Monday morning, and one with Volunteer Ministries Tues. afternoon. Let's hope something turns up. Keep faith alive!
Oh...and Lori and I have a new project happenin' on EBAY...woohoo... we're on the hunt!!! shh...

Let me just say how happy I am that I don't have to be at work at 8 in da monin'... woo woo! Exciting stuff!!!
So I was in Marsha's (my wonderful friend from RSCC) wedding this past Saturday. It was a nice wedding. It was a nice day. I had to be at her house at 9 am, but I'm glad b/c we had a fun day together! Girltime! I definitely provided some entertainment and laughter, but don't I usually? I really liked Marsha's dress. It was pretty. I have to say it was the first wedding I was in that I actually liked the bridesmaid dress on me...for the most part...I'm a perfectionist and see my flaws...hehe. D came...aww. I was glad. And we got our pic taken...yay! I bet it'll be a good pic!
I have yet another wedding to attend this coming Saturday (my cousin's). It'll be an outdoor wedding; oh how I hope it doesn't rain. As I've said before...what's up w/all these ppl getting married? I think it's b/c of all the weddings that I've started thinking about my wedding? Will I ever get married? Well of course I want to be married one day. I just wanna be sure it's to the right person. I don't wanna be a divorce rate statistic! And...I don't wanna be in an unhappy marriage! How old would I want to be when I get married? I used to think I wanted to be married by around age 22, and have children (if I do have them) by around age 24, 25. But now...w/the age of 22 so quickly approaching I'm feeling less sure of wanting to be married by that age. Also, do I want kids? On one hand, yes, for all the obvious reasons; but on the other hand, no, maybe that's selfish (some would say), but why have them if you don't want them? And they are a HUGE responsibility...to make sure you raise them right, to try to instill values and beliefs in them, to trust them to follow the teachings you have given them, to raise them in Church, to hope,and pray, that they will accept God, to hope that they will be "good kids." I guess I shouldn't think about marrying someone til I know where I stand on the kid issue b/c I guess differing opinions on wanting children or not would probably be a deal breaker in a relationship, esp. for the person that wants the children b/c they wouldn't get to have that fulfillment.
So, what kind of wedding would I want to have? Hmm...well yeah the traditional wedding is nice, pretty, and filled w/traditions, but I have to say I've started thinking about alternative-type weddings. Maybe I would enjoy just going away (the 2 of us..maybe the parents invited) to an island or hilltop in another country...oooh and wouldn't an old castle in Ireland be pretty? anyway...and get married somewhere like that. If I did the island thing, I even thought, hmm....would I want to wear some type of exotic red dress or something else non-traditional? But the traditional white wedding dress is BEAUTIFUL!
And now that I've written this novel for the night, I think I'm gonna go now. Have a good night everyone!!!
