The first few weeks of 2009 have been ummm, different, maybe that would be the best way to describe it. I really had intended to make this a great year but 2009 is determined to work against me, but I will not let it get me down. Everyone i'm sure is aware that there are many many companies making cuts, well the state is not immune to this. I offically became a victim of the State budget cut earlier this month. I was "laid off" due to budget cuts but I really see no returning to SCC for me. I did love my job at SCC, but all good things must come to an end. I have signed up on the Sub-list and sent out countless resume's. I have had 1 interview which took place this past Monday. I hope to hear from this by Friday at the latest, so please all keep your fingers crossed and keep it in prayer. I am not your sit-at-home type, I have been BORED TO TEARS all day today. I have always had at least 2 jobs, rarely have I have had less so having no job, nothing to do, kinda makes me feel as if I have no meaning. I have cleaned the baseboards, doors, and walls in my house twice since the first of December! I sure hope I find something soon or I may clean myself crazy!!! I am going to go to lunch tomorrow with my cousin, the highlight of my week, so Christy you better be ready to entertain me LOL. So Im outta here for now, I will keep you all updated on the job search! Nighty Night!

I know I have been horrible at keeping this updated for the past few weeks please do accecpt my apologies. I have been super busy these past two weeks. As most of you know, my Grandmother(daddy's mother) passed away on Christmas morning we had the visitation and funeral last Sunday and then on Monday my dear friend Brandi called and told me her papa Willis had passed away that morning. It has almost been like we said goodbye to part of our childhood, I can remember so many warm summer afternoons running from house to house, in and out doors slamming them while our grandparents yelled for us to please make up our minds what we were going to do. For me it felt as if I had a whole nother set of grandparents in Brandi's family as I'm sure it did for her as well. I cannot recall much time in my childhood that we weren't together at one of their houses. We made so many memories that we will be able to cherish years to come.

Trent and I did manage to have a good New Year's, we celebrated with some friends that we havent hung out with in a while and left around 11:30 to get home in time to watch the ball drop.
I am hoping that this new year brings about lots of good news for all of us. I made a different kind of resolution this year, rather than saying I'm going to try and make a few extra house payments or exercise more(yea right). I decided I simply want to be the best person I can be this year. By that I mean, whatever God has in store for me this year I will accept it, not complain about it and give it my best. That's all, I figure I have spent enough years on the generic resolutions and never ever accomplish them so why not just be myself. I'll let ya know how that is working in a few months. Heres to the Best year EVER!! 2009!

Tomorrow we will celebrate Trent's 31st birthday! I seem to get more excited about celebrating his Birthday than he does these days (maybe it is because he is getting older and I somehow manage to turn 25 again every year hmmm). For now, I need to get back to my mounds of laundry there seems to be a invisible person who comes and dirties clothes while we are gone so I constantly have to wash them. I will post again soon !
