Well, it seems I have a pattern with journals. Start. Immediately stop. Start a month or two or year later. Very frustrating, I know. But, hey, I have a busy life.
Well, I don't go to college...currently. I might try again down the road. I've gotten married (almost two months ago). I work at a hospital on the night shift. My husband works at a bank and is presently majoring in Business Administration at a local university. I'm very proud of him. I'll perhaps go back to college when he is done and I am able to move to the day shift. It would be easier for both of us, though the pay cut would be bad. Ugh! Who cares about money?!
Um...we live in a nice little apartment, overcrowded with wedding gifts and shower gifts (of which I have yet to send thank-you cards for, shame on me and Will). We have two rats, an adorable puppy, a fish, a frog, and a turtle. The latter two are at Will's parents' until we have the room for them. *sigh*
I am tired all the time and I like to read, watch television, or stay in bed. Call me lazy, I don't care. It's rough working at a hospital, though my job requires me to sit on my butt and watch heart monitors all night long. You thought I worked directly with patients? Uh...no. Although, sometimes I "rove" and every once in a while I will see things I really don't want to. I also hear things I don't want to. And, above all, I deal with things I don't want to. God bless people who put up with stupid nurses and jerk doctors, and god bless the medical staff who put up with dumb patients. No, if I go to college I will NOT go into the medical field. That's too much for me to put up with.
People die. It's a fact that I've handled on more than one occasion. I watch heart rhythms and yes, I watch them go flat. Asystole. Gone. I have to put the rhythm strips in the charts and I do see family members in the rooms. It's not easy because it always reminds me of Grandpa and how angry I was at myself for not being there. I still miss him. I've got to switch topics or I will get severely depressed and find something to argue about.
Outside of work, I don't have too much of a life. I do hang out occasionally. Will gets mad if we stay at home to watch a movie and I fall asleep. I try to stay up on my days off. I don't know why. It messes up my whole routine... Like I had one. I just figured out right about here how repetitive my journal entry is from the last one, almost. I thought I would slip in a random comment to keep this going.
How about my wedding? Well, I've heard a lot of people tell me it was the most beautiful one they had been to. I have to admit, it did go really well and I only got nervous just before I walked in. I don't know what came over me. But I'm glad I didn't run. :-) Will and I went on a cruise to Cozumel for our honeymoon. It was great! We had such an awesome time! I think I want to go on one of those again.
Well, I honestly don't have anything else to write about. Maybe the next entry will be more uplifting and joyful. Yeah. Here's to hope.

Dear Lord...it's been over a year...
Well it's been over a year and I can honestly say, I've missed the blogging experience.
Few things have been missed since then. But, I'll just point out the key factors. Let's see...
Well, for starters, back in October of last year I began an awesome, yet freaking BORING, job at the hospital. I work in telemetry, which means I watch these screens with many different heart rhythms that go across. At most, I could be watching 48 patients' rhythms. Cool, huh? You think so now. Just you wait and visit our small, hole-in-the-wall room. Currently, the air conditioner has been running non-stop the last three days and we've had to bundle up until the damn thing is fixed. No need to worry about prepping myself for the cold anymore. It's happening.
Also, within the time I have been employed at the hospital, I have managed to obtain the ever disdained role as shiftleader. Or shitleader as my co-worker so cleverly phrased it. Hmm...took some imagination on her part, I guess. Could there be any more room for advancement? Nope. Not really. However, the pay is nice. Normal pay starts out at $8.99 per hour. But since I work the night shift, I get paid 15% more and 30% more on weekend nights and holidays. Now that I am shiftleader, tack on another dollar or two. Yes, there are some advantages. Yay... I am so not in it for the pay, nor the experience. Don't get me wrong, it's a good job. But I can't stay there forever. I'll go postal.
Ahem. Continuing on. In November of last year, my loving William proposed to me and I did accept. We are getting married in December of this year and I couldn't be happier. We have so much left to do in the little time we have, but it has come together quiet beautifully with the amazing help of his family. Especially his aunt Pat. That woman astounds me with her many talents of crafts. I never knew one person could work so hard concerning the decorating and coordination of a wedding. And she is doing everything herself! She's made so much! God bless her for her willingness to do it all!
In February of this year, Will helped me find my own place and he has been helping with the rent and other bills, though he doesn't live with me. He's just been too good. He does that on top of working at the bank, taking his classes (by the way, he is finishing his bachelor's in business administration), going to church, coming over and hanging out with me, taking me on dates, working at his other job that deals with weddings on the beach (seasonal), going to the gym, etc. He's amazing! Cute, too. :) Seriously, though, as much as we've been through this past year, I'm very excited about our marriage. We've worked through a lot, and fought, and raged, and kissed, and hugged, and made up. Every emotion you can think of with the exception of hate and regret. We never once hated, or regretted, being with each other.
This year has gone by so fast it's hard to describe everything. I suppose I should talk about some interesting pets that Will and I have obtained since being together. When Will and I were first together he had a dog named Brownie and a box turtle. Brownie was about fifteen and she passed away a few months ago at the age of sixteen. She was a very sweet lab, and very loving. The turtle...is still there.
When I first moved into my apartment, Will said I could have a housewarming gift. He knew I had been eyeing these cute little dwarf hamsters for a while and took me to PetSmart to get one. Well, he strolled off to look at something for the turtle and I went over to see the hamsters. However, it was not they who caught my attention. I decided to look at the other cute, furry creatures. But when I walked to the other side, the only things there were two small hairless rats. I fell in love. I told Will what I wanted and he laughed. I did end up persuading him to get them for me and now I have two hairless rats. Their names are Rodney and Ronon and we both love them very much.
As it progressed around summer, Will had been eyeing this hideous Pacman frog. I told him no and he kept repeating "one day", "one day". Sigh. One day, I gave in and did some spontaneous shopping and spent over $150 on a frog. The Pacman frog, who has rightfully been named Loki. The thing hides and cleverly catches crickets. I hate it. He loves it. We're happy. (By the way, we named the box turtle Artemis.)
About a month after I get this frog, Will finds a yellow eared slider in his backyard. Note: there is no fresh water in the Cove. This had been someone's pet. Unfortunately, most people don't know you can't just let a turtle back into the wild when you can't handle them anymore. Give them to someone who can. Or a store. Whatever. Don't let them go. Anyway, we ended up keeping it and now his name is Poseidon. ...OMG!
I did have a kitten named Neko, but Will was allergic and I had to take him back to the...animal control center. Per contract, mind you! Will felt bad and now......! I have a beautiful Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Isabella!!! The most precious puppy and spoiled rotten little pest ever! She is almost four months old and is very healthy and tricky. She's too smart for her own good sometimes. But Will and I adore her and that's all that matters.
And last, but not least, is MacGyver the goldfish. Will and I went to the fair a couple of weeks ago and he won me the little guy. He, too, is happy in his little aquarium with all its pretty, colorful pebbles at the bottom. I never knew that pets could be so entertaining until we had such a diversity within our household. (I just don't want the frog.) So here we are with our seven pets and our 900 sq. ft. apartment and its limited space.
Marriage is going to be grand.

Early morning ramble...
So tonight was my first ever double date night. Will and I went to the movies with Katie and her boyfriend Andy. It's interesting how it happened. Well...not terribly interesting. Anyway, Katie and I had been talking about getting together and hanging out and whatnot and we eventually decided on a movie night. Well, I called and left a message for her, asking if she didn't mind if Will tagged along. I completely forgot he had a group thing on Thursday nights and didn't want him to be bored, so I thought he could come with us. Well, before Katie checked her messages, her boyfriend asked if he could tag along. She wasn't sure at first, but when she finally got the voicemail I left for her, we did end up bring both of our guys. See? Almost interesting. That and there's not much else to do here in P.C. amazingly enough.
We went to see "No Reservations", and it was excellent. It had Catherine Zeta Jones and Abigail Breslin in it. Well, Will and I managed to pick on each other more than watch the movie. He did start all of that nonsense, too. I have no idea how he manages to do that. But it did make Katie and her boyfriend laugh. The movie was great and we were all hungry for good food after. Mainly because the movie took place in an awesome restaurant. So after the movie, we went outside and talked for a little while. Then we headed over to Starbuck's and talked there some more. I ran into my cousin Suzanne while we were there. Interesting coincidence because Suzanne and I have had to rain check on our lunch meeting. We still need to get together and do something...except UNO. Long story.
Sigh... What else? Ah yes. The Hershey's job. So I now work at the Hershey's Ice Cream store in the mall and that is awkward. Mostly due to the fact that I am still learning a lot of the moves and tricks to making a lot of the stuff there. Coffee and smoothies especially. However, I don't think this job was meant for me. That's why I must bring up my other job opportunity that will be handed to me next week. It's for that Salvation Army as a sorter and somewhat cashier. I say "somewhat" because I won't be on the register very often. At least, I hope not. As boring as being a sorter is, I need the benefits that come with this job. Mainly insurance.
My insurance expired at the beginning of this month, so I am having to be extra careful with my person until I am able to attain insurance again. After that, I don't care what happens as long as I have something to help me out with it. Medical benefits are nice. I don't even know what insurance the Salvation Army carries. I just need it. That and 40+ hours a week to pay bills and get a few thousand together to put into a future wedding. I am not sure who all reads this, but a certain someone and I have talked a lot about our future together. We are waiting, but that doesn't mean we can't plan and save. In fact, it's better that way. ^_^
Let's just say Will brings out the best in me. We tease and have weak little arguments, but we love each other above anything. Well, except for God. We each love God more. But earthly speaking...eh...you get my point. Everyday is a good day with us. I can't stay mad for too long, if at all. Because every time I start to get upset he finds a way to make me smile or laugh. He's been a big help for me, too. He takes me to work and picks me up, to help me save on gas. I really do appreciate all he has done for me. And when he tells me everything will be fine, I do believe him. I might not show it the first time he says it, but I do trust what he tells me. He also makes me feel good about myself. He always compliments me. I've learned to accept it a lot more easily than when I used to get them from others. It's just true and sincere every single time.
Will is my better half, my significant other, my soul mate, my life. And one day, soon, my future husband.
I love you, William.

New Job!!!
Right. So I now have a job of which I will start tomorrow. I probably shouldn't have added three exclamation points, because when I explain what it is, you'll probably think "that's not really a big deal". Well, screw you. It is for when you have bills to pay. Anyway, I am now an employee of the Hershey's Ice Cream store in the mall. Go me! Out of the MANY applications I've turned in, I didn't even fill out one for this job and I was hired. Again, go me! Now I will fill out one when the manager remembers to bring it.
So tomorrow is the beginning of training and whatnot. The hours are not many...for now. They'll pick up when she sees how well my performance is. I really would like to do well. Funny thing is, the woman I am working for is also the manager for the Asian Imports store and said that I could get a job there too if I wanted. That would be incredibly awesome! I love Asian Imports! It's the coolest little store. ^_^
Hmmm...let's see what else. Of course with good news comes the bad. I have no insurance coverage. None. Whatsoever. No dental, no health, nothing. So for now, if something happens to me, I won't be covered. So please, PLEASE pray I don't get bodily injured or die within the next six months. That just wouldn't be very cool.
Well it's getting late and I have to get up in about seven hours and head over to Will's because I left my stupid shoes over there and I need them for my job. No sandals allowed. Speaking of, William has been extremely supportive in this crucial time of "money wanting" for me. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me and what he's been continually doing for me in these stressful times. I am very thankful for him. (Love you, baby.)
Well...*yawn*...

Busy, busy, busy!
Woo! So this is going to be one hell of a long update because it's been one hell of a crazy week. Let's get started, shall we?
Okay, so my last post was all about it being my birthday. Well, we all know that's totally last week's news. I'm twenty-two. We get the point. Nothing here to see, so let's mosey along. (Does anyone besides me think that "mosey" is a rather peculiar word? Anyone? Okay, I was just curious.) So, Saturday the 7th was a really awesome day in that Will was able to come a day early. Woot! My friend Harrison and I celebrated our birthdays with a huge friend party...thing. There were about twelve or so of us at the Applebee's on Taylor Road. And the amazing thing is: our meal came out in, like, TEN MINUTES! OMG! It was great! No...it was AWESOME! All of us had a great time eating, laughing, joking, drinking...okay, okay. I was the only one who had something, but the point is, we all had fun. Afterward, we went to the Rave and watched the Transformers' movie. KICK ASS!!!! GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!! SEE IT NOW!!! And that's all I'll say about that.
Don't really ask me what happened Sunday. I don't remember. But Monday we loaded up his car with my stuff and proceeded to Grandma's so I could drop my things off and we could head back to Florida in his car. (Is this the best guy, or what? I am SO in love!) The drive was nice and pleasant. We had a good time. Upon arrival, we unloaded my things and did stuff - bad memory lapse here. Tuesday is pretty much a blur, too. Will will have to fill in. ("Will will"? I need to rephrase that somehow...) Wednesday! Blessed Wednesday!!!! That was our long awaited for day of fun. Will took me to Destin!!! OMG! That place is SO beautiful! I have never really been to an outlet before. At least nothing like the one in Destin. I was thoroughly impressed by everything! Will and I first hit the Hard Rock Cafe. Oh! That was the best thing to do. I had never eaten there before. Yummy food!!! Will also bought me a pretty pink shirt from there. It has a kick ass design on the back and it says "ROCK ANGEL" across the top. Sweet!
We hit several other stores, too, where Will proceeded to buy me the most adorable outfits! By the way, one of the shops we went to was the Build-a-Bear Workshop. Will and I adopted a little girl bear by the name of Sicily. She is precious! I even have her birth certificate! Will picked out her adorable outfit. ^_~ I should post pictures up eventually. Anyway, we shopped at Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch....er...yeah...O_o...don't ask me if these are spelled correctly. I've never gotten anything name brand that wasn't a hand-me-down. This was the first time since...I don't know when...that someone has actually taken me clothes shopping! We also went to the GAP. They were having a good sale. Will is good at finding those. Ahem. He also took me to see "License to Wed". That is a FUNNY movie. Ummm...oh yeah. We also hit Books-A-Million. He bought me "The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" which came with a free tote bag, of which I carry around with me all the time now. Oh yeah. We went to Victoria's Secret and he purchase me some nice workout pants and a cute top to match. Now, I can go to the gym and not feel like a dork with what I had to wear before. I have something extremely sexy, yet conservative enough not to be too suggestive. Point: I love my boyfriend! Anyway, we didn't head back until late.
Thursday was kind of slow. But that evening we went to his little "group session". No, it's nothing theraputic...well...it could be relaxing since one is surrounded by moderately sane, spiritual people. They were all extremely nice, though. I might go again. Downfall: there is no actual time limit to these things. Once the lesson is done, they hang out...but it kind of carries on. I don't want to be a rude guest, but I don't want to stay too long after it's ended. No offense to my love. All in all, it was great.
Friday was interesting. While Will was at the gym, I borrowed Daddy's truck to go visit with my friend Cassie. She and I hadn't seen each other in months and I thought it was about time to see her. I swear every time I go to see her it's like we haven't been separated at all. We pick up right where we left off and go from there. Update and talk...about whatever. It's really cool. Afterward, I went back home and Will had just arrived so we headed out to do...um...things. Damn this lapse of memory! Dammit! Oh yeah! We went back to his house and his mom had made some yummy pot roast. Whew! Glad I figured it out. We also watched some comedy stuff and a movie. It was great!
And so it ends with Saturday, the hottest, sweatiest day I have ever experienced in my entire life! I went with Will out to the beach where he had to set up for a wedding. It was fucking hottt!!!! Excuse my language. I didn't even do anything and I was sweating through my clothes. (Don't get any ideas, you weirdos.) Will, of course, cleaned up once we got to his grandparents'. I decided to wait on that one. We went back a couple hours later to tear down...well he tore down....meh. It was not nearly as hot out and we beat the thunder storm to put the stuff away. The beach with an oncoming storm is just gorgeous! Anyway, we went back to his grandparents', cleaned up, then headed back out to the beach. We were going to do bowling, but the wait was long so we decided to just hang out for a while and look for new swim wear for me. Then we came back to my house and...chilled. Yeah...
So that's it. Today we get the rest of my stuff.

That was the best thing to do. I had never eaten there before. Yummy food!!! Will also bought me a pretty pink shirt from there. It has a kick ass design on the back and it says "ROCK ANGEL" across the top. Sweet!
We hit several other stores, too, where Will proceeded to buy me the most adorable outfits! By the way, one of the shops we went to was the Build-a-Bear Workshop. Will and I adopted a little girl bear by the name of Sicily. She is precious! I even have her birth certificate! Will picked out her adorable outfit. ^_~ I should post pictures up eventually. Anyway, we shopped at Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch....er...yeah...O_o...don't ask me if these are spelled correctly. I've never gotten anything name brand that wasn't a hand-me-down. This was the first time since...I don't know when...that someone has actually taken me clothes shopping! We also went to the GAP. They were having a good sale. Will is good at finding those. Ahem. He also took me to see "License to Wed". That is a FUNNY movie. Ummm...oh yeah. We also hit Books-A-Million. He bought me "The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" which came with a free tote bag, of which I carry around with me all the time now. Oh yeah. We went to Victoria's Secret and he purchase me some nice workout pants and a cute top to match. Now, I can go to the gym and not feel like a dork with what I had to wear before. I have something extremely sexy, yet conservative enough not to be too suggestive. Point: I love my boyfriend! Anyway, we didn't head back until late.
Thursday was kind of slow. But that evening we went to his little "group session". No, it's nothing theraputic...well...it could be relaxing since one is surrounded by moderately sane, spiritual people. They were all extremely nice, though. I might go again. Downfall: there is no actual time limit to these things. Once the lesson is done, they hang out...but it kind of carries on. I don't want to be a rude guest, but I don't want to stay too long after it's ended. No offense to my love. All in all, it was great.
Friday was interesting. While Will was at the gym, I borrowed Daddy's truck to go visit with my friend Cassie. She and I hadn't seen each other in months and I thought it was about time to see her. I swear every time I go to see her it's like we haven't been separated at all. We pick up right where we left off and go from there. Update and talk...about whatever. It's really cool. Afterward, I went back home and Will had just arrived so we headed out to do...um...things. Damn this lapse of memory! Dammit! Oh yeah! We went back to his house and his mom had made some yummy pot roast. Whew! Glad I figured it out. We also watched some comedy stuff and a movie. It was great!
And so it ends with Saturday, the hottest, sweatiest day I have ever experienced in my entire life! I went with Will out to the beach where he had to set up for a wedding. It was fucking hottt!!!! Excuse my language. I didn't even do anything and I was sweating through my clothes. (Don't get any ideas, you weirdos.) Will, of course, cleaned up once we got to his grandparents'. I decided to wait on that one. We went back a couple hours later to tear down...well he tore down....meh. It was not nearly as hot out and we beat the thunder storm to put the stuff away. The beach with an oncoming storm is just gorgeous! Anyway, we went back to his grandparents', cleaned up, then headed back out to the beach. We were going to do bowling, but the wait was long so we decided to just hang out for a while and look for new swim wear for me. Then we came back to my house and...chilled. Yeah...
So that's it. Today we get the rest of my stuff.
Laters!

Journey forth!
Okay, so I haven't really been keeping up with this like I should have but I am very proud of myself for keeping this period. I should pat myself on the back or something. Maybe I'll go for ice cream later. Mmmm...Dairy Queen has the waffle sundae I would like to try. Normally I get the chocolate M&M blizzard. So yummy!
Anyway, as the days are counting themselves down, I'm not as frantic about packing as I usually am. Maybe it's because I don't have nearly as much stuff as what I started out with. Most of my things are still in boxes and I'm still trying to rid myself of unwanted items. Pillows especially. And those plastic tubs STINK! I left my incense in both of them just to get the stench out. (I didn't burn anything, mind you, but the powerful scent of mixed incense should chase that God awful smell away. Ew.)
I've thought more and more about my possibilities in Florida and I can say I am completely devoted to moving back. No second thoughts, no worries, nothing. I have that peace of mind that everything will work itself out. For instance, I just remembered my car tag expires this month. This is very beneficial for me because, since I'm moving, I might as well wait to renew it for when I move. Another exciting aspect is getting my new driver's license. Bad part...it's going to show me wearing my braces. However! I can wait to see if they come off within the next month or so before I get my license changed. It's not really any big deal, but you know. I'm a girl. I like looking nice in my photos, blah, blah, blah. Braces just don't cut it. Can you see the vanity here?
I won't be able to begin college until the spring, and that's fine. I'll just have to find a job that provides good health benefits because mine is about to kick me off. *sigh* Such is life. In the meantime I will be picking up applications and filling those out. Also, concerning college, I'll be keeping an eye out for what classes I'll be needing to take while I'm going for my degree in Criminal Justice. I am still very heavily leaning towards homicide investigator, but if there is a wider field, I'll take it. Forensics is probably not possible, but that is still a kick ass career. Perhaps I can get a job as a police officer. Of course, that requires physical exertion and only one person can help me with preparing my body for that kind of thing and that's William.
I'm just glad I'm finally at a place where I can breathe. Peace. Clarity. Serenity.

Ever-continuing Countdown...
As it stands, I now have quite a few countdowns going on right now. The first is that I have three more days until I no longer work for the state. The second, is that I have seven days or less to go until my birthday. And the third happens to be nine more days until my wonderful William comes to get me and whisk me away to Florida. Oh! Then there's the fourth most important one (though I have no idea why I forgot about it), my move back to Florida which will be in two weeks and two days. Yes, I am excited about all of these.
Of course when I move to Florida, I know I will have to stay in touch with Pastor Chad at my church. Lately, I haven't been going and that's bad on my part. I hate slipping back into old habits. But this Sunday, I am determined to go, at least to let him know that I will be moving very soon. I don't really feel bad about leaving the church so soon. Maybe I shouldn't have become a member, but I know that when I come back to visit, I will go to church there on Sundays. While I'm in Florida, I will be attending Will's...um...church. Of course, it's interesting to think about the Salvation Army as a church. It does make sense why it's called that now. Hahaha...not funny. Gotcha. But it's still very cool.
There is also this "bible study" group (he puts them in quotes, I don't really know why) that he goes to on Thursdays and he said I might be interested in it. Mainly because they have some...intellectually stimulating conversations regarding faith. (I was trying to pretty it up some for lack of less descriptive words.) I don't know how much of my opinion I will share, but conversation is nice. Also, I hear there's food sometimes. Mmmm....food. I'm hungry just thinking about it. Ahem. So, I suppose while I'm living there, I will tag along with Will and try to enjoy myself and be a little bit more open with people. I tend to be shy at first.
So...I don't really have much of an update to go on from yesterday. Well, I do have a new job for when I get to Florida and I really hope it works out. (Thank you, Monster.com. Thank you.)
Well, that's all.
