I have successfully finished 2008! I still have my job and love it! Nothing big happened over the holidays. My boyfriend and I had a fantastic trip to Hawaii, which I guess is big. It was a lot of FUN! I am looking forward to our trip to Belize in April!
I can’t believe I have neglected my blog. And, I mean neglect. Wow over a year. Ok, so I got the job, and started in July of 07, love it, still love it and have been promoted to 3 digit salary. Big woohoo for me. I met Jim and things seem to be going nicely. I won’t make the mistake of living together again. We have lots to do dating wise before we get any further there. My mom is happy, she actually has a boyfriend - yay for her! Go MOM! It’s raining and cold outside and I’m looking foward to Christmas!
I got a job in my home town. I really didn’t think that I would get it. I went through the interview process 3 times for this particular job. I will be a manager for a huge clothing store - way excited. The pay is pretty decent starting out too. My mom is thrilled that I can move home. I have already rented an apartment and will move in one week, my job starts in a month. I’m really glad I get a few weeks to get moved and settled in. And, better yet, I hear there are a few good men at home now 
Brad and I never worked it out. We are “friends” but not great ones. He didn’t miss the “us” I guess. That frustrates me to no end. I really thought that it was something to fight for. Not for him and therefore not for me. I finished college in the meantime and got my BA. I am pretty excited to have a new start at life. I want to either move home or closer to home. I really miss my mom. She misses me too. I have interviews for new jobs that are about an hour from home, so we’ll see where that goes.
Well, we’re staying in the same town. But not together :( I am here to finish up my college years and move on. Brad doesn’t want anything to do with going home, ever. I can’t handle that. I need to be by my mom. There is nothing wrong with that. Either position, I am just more into family than he is, and that will cause us problems in the long run.
SAD. I am very sad, but I know it’s for the best. Maybe, just maybe he’ll miss “us” and change his mind. But, I doubt it. Men usually don’t change. SAD.
Brad and I moved about 8 hours away from our hometown to finish our college years. I think it was the best decision, but now I’m missing my “home”. It’s been 3 months since we moved, but I’m having a hard time adjusting. As a matter of fact, Brad and I fight about going home. I want to visit my mom more often and he doesn’t want to go home at all. So I guess this is good because we need to figure out where in the relationship we really are. Do we want to live here, somewhere else or where I call “home”. We just might not make it through this together. If he never wants to go home, I’m not going to be able to handle that.
That’s what we’re up to. A crossroads.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I updated. Well, a lot of new stuff is going on. Brad and I moved in together, with my moms blessing. Which is really cool. We are actually talking about marriage, but I think we should probably wait until I’m 25 or so. I think that we need to really make sure, because I don’t want to end up in a divorce, like my mom did. She ended up raising us and it was really hard. I’m finished at the JC and now have a full time job, but it is working. Brad and I are talking about moving out of town and going to a state college to finish up our degrees. More later…
I got my own place and all is FANTASTIC! I’ve met some really great friends too. My best friend came home from college, so it’s like party time! Having control of my own stuff just rocks! I get to eat what and when I want to - that is fun, although I might be gaining some weight. That’s not good, but at least I’m happy. I am sort of seeing this guy who also goes to the JC. Things seem to be looking up for me. Woohoo!
I am still at home. I have been talking with my mom about getting my own place. I think she probably feels the same way. She was looking forward to some time without kids in the house, and I guess I ruined that for her. I am really feeling down about that, but I hope that moving out on my own, getting a part time job, so I can still stay in school, will help. I hope my attitude gets better as well. Who knew that the “real” world would be so difficult.
Oh and John, he’s with someone new - makes me so angry.
I just graduated last June! I am in such a quandry of what to do. I have signed up for junior college, but I think I made a mistake. I almost can’t stand being home. I should have gone away to college. My boyfriend decided that he doesn’t want to date anymore and now I really have nothing. My friends all went away. Wow, woe is me.
