My house

It has occured to me that I have not posted a picture of my new house.

awwww

I just looked at pictures from freshman year, and I can't believe how much we have all grown up. Cathy, Becca, and Brannon I miss you all so much. I don't like this growing up business. Can't we go back to that first night of taboo and pop-corn?

Long week

Okay, so that whole I love my job time is over. Reality has set in and I am exhausted after work each day. Honestly if I let it be my job is somewhat depressing. I mean I ask people if they know anyone who is dying. Obviously I believe that Hospice is a great service; I know my family would have been lost without it. Still I feel like a mental patient when I begin thinking about people as potential patients. I have to keep my eyes on the goal of becoming regional administrator otherwise I think I will shoot myself.
In other news, I was going to cut my front yard today however the ground is still wet from all the rain and I got the mower stuck. No worries the boy across the street came over to help me get it unstuck and he is going to cut my grass (only the front and side yards) from now on. Remember when I moved I wanted the ability to cut my own grass not necessarily doing it myself.
Today is my little cousin's 8th Birthday. I have gotten to be more of an aunt than a cousin to all of them because I am so much older. He is a sweet little guy very shy, but very smart!

highlights from the week

Monday: Today was a very stressful day at work. I had a message on my cell phone from my supervisor, and she has a very accusing sounding voice. So I dread calling her back all day luckily when I did call back I got her voicemail too. Also it was raining this morning and I had no power so I felt like a drowned rat all day. Finally, the CEO of the company was in town and since it was raining, I stayed in the office most of the day. Well this is bad since I get paid to be out marketing. However, the way I looked today I had no business being out marketing. It was a lose-lose situation all day. My bright spot happened after work…

SETTING: Alton has been here all weekend helping me do stuff around the house. His project today was to install the motion detector light outside.

THE CONVERSATION: Alton: Well, I installed it on the back light and it didn’t work, then I installed it on the front light and it didn’t work so I came in and read the directions.

Ok so it isn’t nearly as funny reading it second hand, but rest assured it was hilarious when it happened. Alton left about 7. I didn’t think I would but I started crying and couldn’t stop for about 15 mins. I will see him on Friday but it is so weird to know he is more than a phone call and 10 miles away. Thanks for all your help this weekend!

This will be the last entry for a few weeks due to the fact that Cable TV of East Alabama has a monopoly in the area I am moving to and will not be able to hook up my internet and TV until July 19^th. Never fear however I will be bored so I plan to type an update on word and post them when I get internet back. Today was fantastic! I got to call bingo, got a referral from a doctor who has refused to use us for 6 years, and made nurses happy with an afternoon of cookies. I love what I do! Friday will be the first night I spend in my new house. As you all know I am a scaredy cat so Alton will be over there the first night. I plan to take over peaches and my food and the rest of the stuff left in the bathroom over in the morning which means I need to get up when my alarm goes off at 5:30. With that said good night and I leave you with this song to think about.

So here we are in the same old spot knowing something needs to happen but our mouths are locked Tongue tied closed tight sealed shut yup i tried hard but it just wasn't enough

it's on the tip of my tongue it's on the front of my mind yet the words were still so hard to find finally the reality of things that come and push me to the edge I jumped off the cliff into the abyss as I said

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it

The conversation lingered on and on and before I knew it night had turned to dawn and we'll be searching for the truth in all of this ha are we debating just to win the argument cause none of us wanna hear about where we go wrong this song could easily be from me to you or me to john cause I have the potential to be the guiltiest ha my greatest strength is also my strongest weakness

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it
I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it

Let's think about this path that we're taking let's think about this future we're creating let's think about it come on think about it let’s think about this time we're spending investing on monetary things that are ending let's think about it then let's think about it and let's think about what we can do to make it better

I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it
I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it
I’m not trying to be a nuisance I just think we can do better than this that was simply my two cents you can you can take it or leave it
(we can and we will)

What a week :)

I think what a week covers how I am feeling well. I moved yesterday, and after my family was gone and it was just me in my new house I felt very overcome yet satisfied. Just think no more annoying leaky faucets for me to bug my dad to fix, no more having to leave during bad weather, and best of all no more freakin' speedbumps! I have nice neighbors I think I should find out better today. After moving yesterday my aunt Jeanne and I scrubbed baseboards and scuffmarks from the wall.
Funny story time...
as I mentioned before, there is no water at my house yet, so last night I drove back over to Montgomery for the sole purpose of getting a nice hot shower. You need to take a min. To understand how much I was looking forward to this shower. As I got closer I realized my trailer park was dark. I started prying "haha ok God not funny" then pleading, "Please all I want is a hot shower" to no avail. I mustered up the courage to take a shower in the dark, I really have always been afraid of the dark. It was a hot shower so that was good. Now normally a power outage wouldn't be a problem, but I had packed everything up including candles and flashlights. I was in complete darkness for an hour before I fell asleep.
I am about to go back to Phenix City to "finish" unpacking today (yeah right). My goal is no more boxes after three weeks! See you all soon I hope.

I did it

I signed my life away on a million dotted lines yesterday, but i am now a homeowner! I should have taken today off, but i have a presentation at 1:00. I am so happy it is friday! Alton is bringing pizza over tonight and i get to spend some quality time with him before i leave. Well, it is now 8:00 and i have to leave. Thank God It's Friday!!

I like this song

When My Dreams Come True Lyrics - Rebecca Lynn Howard
Well I'm no different than the average girl
My dreams wrap around the world
And I'll be living somewhere in France
When my dreams come true

There'll be a big boat waitin' on me
I'll ride it out to sea
And Ill get up on the roof and dance
When my dreams come true

I'll find the perfect guy
Whose heart beats just like mine
And his great ambition will be me
When my dreams come true

He'll say, "Honey,you sure look nice tonight"
Every night
And he'll beat all you've ever seen

When my dreams come true
For eternity
When they turn into
My reality
I'll be with you
When my dreams come true

If I'm sleepin' please don't wake me up
At least this way
I'll know what I'm gonna do

When my dreams come true
For eternity
When they turn into
My reality
I'll be with you
When my dreams come true

Weekly update

Last week went by quickly. This week was a different story. I felt like there were 12 Mondays to my week! I was completely unproductive at work. Only saw like 15 Dr.'s but I had two in-services, a golf tournament, and a PR meeting. I have slightly over a week before I close on the house! I am very excited. I got to see all of my sisters last night and Julie stayed here. That was fun. Today I have been trying to pack at least one more box and do some laundry, but I am about to leave or I will never get home in time to swim. I hope you all have a nice week! I should be at home every night this week if anyone would like to lend a hand packing, here is your invite.

???

Saturday again? I don't understand how life is flying by so quickly these days. It seems like there was a Monday and Friday of this last week. I have no clue where the middle days went. My 90 day probation is over and if my boss would fill out my evaluation and watch me do my Hospice 101 Presentation then I would get my $2000 bonus. I definitely need that with all the moving expenses I am about to incur. You may be wondering why I haven't put any pics of my new house up. The truth is I haven't reinstalled my camera software from having my computer reformatted several weeks ago. I should do that today... But alas I can't for I am about to drive the hour and a half home and then back here just to take some paperwork I should have sent back with my mom last week for insurance. Dang I hate driving. But I think Alton or Cathy may go with me and that would be nice. I will try to update before next Saturday but no promises.

Yard sale saddness

Today was the big yard sale i have been waiting on so that i could unload some of my junk for money. Well to look on the bright side, i did make the most of anyone out there. I made a whopping, are you ready for this, $22 today. I did take the rest to charity though so that will be a nice tax deduction at the end of the year. Alton and my mom are waiting on me to go so I will update more later.

I love my Job

Before I was hired at Wiregrass, I worked as a temp at a bank. That job taught me 1) I hate answering phones and 2) I hate being inside all day. I'm not sure if any of you really know what I do at Wiregrass Hospice, so I will tell you now. My ultimate goal is to get doctors to refer patients to Wiregrass Hospice, and to educate the community about the company. I am in and out of my car at least 10 times a day. My job means 1) I don't answer phones, and 2) I am very rarely inside all day. I love my job. Yesterday was a new experience. It rained all day long. I am terrible about remembering to take an umbrella. You can imagine what kind of fun day I had. Today the forecast is rain... I think I have some paperwork to catch up on ;) I will be in Columbus for the night; call me cause it gets boring in that motel room all night.

YAY

Guess who signed a contract on a house today... give up? ME! That's right if all goes well I will join the ranks of the forever indebted on June 27th. Happy Days! This weekend I am going with Alton and Brad to Mississippi for many random events including Biscuits game, Beach time, and watching them loose money at the casino. Should make for an interesting post next week.

Randomness

First congrats to my old high school G.W.Long on there most recent state baseball title. I went out to the game Friday night and was able to see many of my old friends. Randi and Kyle came out to the house for a while it was great talking to them. Next anytime the word virgin is in the title of a movie it is bound to be more of a porn than a comedy. Would have liked to know that before watching the movie Friday. Saturday is a bit of a blur I slept till 12 then went to see Monster in Law with Cathy great movie! Today I had every intention to go to church but slept through my alarm. I cleaned the bathroom, packed books and picture frames and other random breakable things so I will be ready to move when I finally find the right house. Now I am procrastinating from doing work I should have gotten done Friday afternoon. Guess I will get back to it.

Whoa

First I would like to say that church was very helpful Sunday morning. The message to graduates incorporated many of my favorite verses. This helps to reassure me that my life does have a purpose, a fact I never really lost sight of.
Now to address those anonymous commenters. Had you taken the time to read past entries or my profile you would understand that I am a very happy and satisfied person. Like most people however I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed. Never once have I thought things were going wrong, plans just changed and I know beyond a doubt that God is in control. The previous post was simply a written out prayer that I had with God. He knows my heart and knows it is not one of discontent. Everyday I thank Him for my family, health as bad as it sometimes seems, and my successes. You see I could be a "mad at the world" person I wake up in extreme pain everyday yet I hold down a regular job and make personal sacrifices to stay as healthy as possible. It is only by God's grace and the outstanding role model my mother has been that I am able to do this.
I further suggest that if you wish to comment on my blog in a negative manor you at least leave the link to your own journal so that I and my friends may comment about what I conclude is probably a very whinny entry. To build each other up is a far better use of the time God has given us. In the future if there is not something positive to say I do ask that you don't say it unless you are one of my dear friends who may need

Ok God What Now

Dear God,
So You have successfully changed every plan I ever made about my future. I am now just gonna wait on You. How's that sound? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all, but what's next am I supposed to continue driving for 3 hours a day just to get to work and back? And, just how long do you plan on me doing this singles thing? I gotta tell you I'm not loving it. There is just one more thing right now, how about stop letting me get my hopes up about things and then them not working out. That would be very nice and considerate if I could stop being disappointed everytime I turn around.
Thanks a Bunch

No time

Ok so I am looking for a house in Smiths Station or Phenix City and have had very little luck. I graduate on Saturday and that is exciting. I am still loving my job, but not the hour and a half commute. My little bro's dog had puppies so now I really need a house with a fenced in back yard. Finally, Formal was great look for pics soon.

no time for a real update

Saturday Again???

This week has been so crazy I can't even begin to update you on it. However, I can offer some highlights. First I put around 600 miles on my car this week. I was in Birmingham Monday, Phenix City (PC) Tuesday- Thursday, and Dadeville Friday. I went to look at houses on Wednesday. My window motor went out that night. God answers prayers all the time but rarely in the way you think He should. Finally I am single with no hope of reconciliation :( also not answered the way I had hoped, but I will accept it.
Have a good week I will try to update b4 next Saturday this time.
