Christopher and I decided that it would be best for us to find our puppy, Sugar a new home. We both LOVE Sugar to death, but we were not home enough to properly care for her, like she deserves, and living in an apartment, it just was not working out. The Greens happily took her. The Greens came over last wednesday after church to pick her items/food up. I was sad b/c sugar was like a child to me...sounds silly i know. It was the hardest thing to do. But I am also happy b/c the Greens have taken such good care of her before.
Christopher came home from work and gave me some money. He told me not to spend it on bills or food b/c this money was not in the budget...So I am creating a new can to put all my 'extra' money in it. I call it my scrapbooking money! I went to Target..in the Dollar Deal area they had scrapbooking items for $1.00! I was so excited! I got A LOT of scrapbook items for under $8.00!
I recieved a raise at work...I now make $10.00 an hour! I also am getting a bonus on this pay check!! woot woot. I thank God for this raise and the bonus that I recieved. God always seems to send things my way when he knows we need it the most!
Christopher started school on Jan 05, 2008. He is taking Human Relations in the Work Place and Technical Drawing. Christopher is taking classes at Olympic College b/c he was offered a job at Keyport. I believe he will be cleaning torpedos and getting paid more then what both him and I are making now. He had to fill out 16 forms! It took him close to 5 hours!! Now, Christopher is just waiting for the phone call to take some medical tests and get his start date! Praise the Lord!
The last few days I have been feeling a little under the weather. Christopher told me to go back to sleep. He came into the bedroom and brought me Oatmeal! It was the best Oatmeal I have ever tasted! Christopher even cleaned the house, did the dishes, and some laundry!
I
FINALLY was able to finish Thank You cards from the wedding!! I felt VERY bad b/c nomally I am really quick at getting thank you cards out...but these ones seemed to NEVER end and with having to go to work, come home clean the house, make dinner, dishes, laundry...I just get so pooped out...fall a sleep...and wake up and say, "Man...I did not finish them yet!!" Maybe thats why God made me sick--so i would finish my Thank You cards =D
Today is Wednesday, Jan 07, 2008. (i think)--currently christopher and I am at Mom Rachel's house. Christopher needed to use the internet to install internet security on Grandpa Broxton's new laptop...so here i am...just sitting in Britney's room. Christopher is going to work today then going to school then going up to church. I think I am either sitting on my coach, watching movies and scrapbook (like i ALWAYS do when christopher is at work) or i am hanging out with my BFF Stephanie Young (christopher's cousin)! Stephanie only lives about 5 minutes away from our house! She is such a huge blessing to me! She is always calling me up, asking if i need anything or i want to go hang out. We have so much fun together hanging out. Her little boy, Caden, who is almost 2 on april fools (no joke) is such a sweetie...He calls me Aunt Ne'...and I guess he talks about me all the time! Stephanie calls me her sister b/c we were friends before christopher and i met...but then Christopher is her cousin and now christopher and i are married...o well...its jst crazy...we are all family eigther way so it doesnt really matter LOL
I have
one major prayer request...Please Pray
for a car for me...I need one that I can drive...not a stick shift..a normal car..my van's transmission went out and i have been with out a car for close to a month! I am unable to attend morning classes b/c I do not have reliable transportation to and from school/work. I may take a few online classes. But not sure...Instead of finishing my associates degree in June 2009...I have to wait another full year...the classes are only offered a certain quarters...since i cant take them this quarter, means I cant take my classes next quarter!
But...
Everything Happens for a reason =D
