almost thanksgiving

So it is now November. It's been a while since I updated. Not that I think anyone reads this lol.
Lemme see....a lot has happened since i graduated.

First off Josh came home for the summer. And it was awesome. I had a great time with him. We took a few pictures at Buttermilk Falls which I think are on his site. We got some taken at Sear's. But the Buttermilk Falls ones are better. My mom took them. She did a great job.
Umm...we spent almost every day together this past summer, which, after 9 months apart, was really nice. It was nice to be able to be face to face with him a lot of the time.

I quit Buy N' Fly in June. I also got hired by a company called Home Instead. They go to senior citizens' homes and help take care of them. Basically I was kind of a nurse's aid without the medical training. That job...SUCKED! I am not a maid lol. So I quit...sort of...about two weeks ago. I cant officially quit till the end of December so I wont have to pay them 80 dollars for the two TB tests that I ended up paying for and the four training books. The company is a good one, dont get me wrong. But it was definitely not the job I want or need. It is too unpredictable.

But anyway, before i quit HI, I did something pretty awesome. Three weeks before josh moved, me and two other girls, my friend Mercedes and Josh's sister's best friend Tasha, we moved in to one of Josh's dad's apartments! Yes I am officially living on my own! and I love it. No more fights with family. I have a place of my own. no rules to follow all the time. So Josh moved in with me before he left for school and he stays there when he isn't at school. It's great. I really like having my own place. The only down falls are that i have no TV/ internet service, and there is A LOT of girl drama. But that is ok for now.

I am still at Boscov's. And I am now working for a company called TrendSetters as a holiday job. So I've got some extra money coming in which is nice. I can now buy the TV stand for the new TV Josh just bought. I can also get a home theater system too. And decent X-Mas gifts.

Josh and I are doing well. Hit a pretty rough patch about a month and a half ago. Things are still kinda rocky. But it is ok. We are learning how to deal with things that need to be dealt with. Its tough.

If I could give advice to anyone about to go in to a long distance relationship, I would tell them to make sure you have the emotional strength for it. It's really hard. And you better really love them, or it might seem like a waste of your time. But if you love them, just good luck. Do not let the other get too over stressed. being far away and really stressed will lead you two to a very rocky, unstable ledge that you either just go over and say "ok. I'm here with you. Let's do this." or you turn back and leave them to deal with everything alone. Neither sound good. But believe me, if you are in it for the long haul, jump. It will be worth it hopefully soon.

I feel like I am still waiting for it to be worth it. But that feeling is going away, slowly, but it is still going away. I cant imagine not being with him. I love Joshua R. Laughlin. He is my best friend and the only person I think who knows almost everything about me. I hope that someday everyone can find someone like that for themselves.....

Other than quitting two jobs and moving out and boy problems, things are going well. My 21st BDay is almost here. Only 2 more months!!! I cant wait lol. Nothing else really special to report on. OH! I am now OBSESSED with Grey's ANatomy. I have all 6 seasons. got them all within 2 months of each other. Josh bought me season 6 (thank you babe!). and now I am caught up with season 7. Which SUCKS! OMG. I am ready to flip. If Christina doesn't get out of her funk soon, this show will no longer be worth watching. lol

Anyway...that is all.

Till next time,
