It's been a while since i last updated on here. I'm now a Texas resident. I just moved into my own apartment in Pearland, Tx about 2 weeks ago and love it. If anyone wants the adress let me know. I've got a great job thats keeping me busy and lots of overtime for a while. I'm working for a global elextrical contractor and am learning lots of new things while impressing my bosses. I celebrated my 21st birthday on tuesday and have looked back on the past years and want to think everyone who has played a part in helping me get to where I am today. I miss everyone so much and always have room for visitors. I've been attending with a strong group in Pasedena called Southside and am probably going to be placing membership there soon. I miss you all and hope everyone is doing well.

Things have def been a lot different. I'm currently in the process of changing jobs and have been trying hard to find a good replacement. I have a good lead on a position in Thomasville so im crossing my fingers i get it. My family is doing great and are starting to finally feel like they can settle in where they are. Ive def been doing a lot of praying about different things lately and feel relaxed in knowing things are starting to change for the best.

Hey all! Things will hopefully be settling down in the next few weeks. I only have a week and a half left at Wood You and then I will be officially done with it and working only one job, which will hopefully free me up. Plus I'm being promoted at CVS which means more money, more hours, but no more overnights and weird schedulings, which means more time for church and studying the Bible, which makes me very happy. I also will hopefully be graduating early from school in marchish some time, which means I'll be able to work full time doing that giving me nights and weekends off. I can't wait. Sorry to all if it seems like I'm standing you up or ignoring you, or falling away. I just have found myself in a tight situation in many ways and am trying to work my way free of it. I had to get some work done on my car which cost me almost $800, this being after I paid $125 to get a new tire and my breaks originally looked at on my birthday, plus I had already bought a lot of Christmas presents and whatnot, so I pretty much became strapped for cash and had to pickup whatever hours I could get in order to keep, my apartment, power in my apartment, gas in my car, and a phone to be reached in case of emergencies. Needless to say, I have nearly payed off everything and will be cutting my hours back giving me more to hang out with everyone if they are willing to give me a second or in some cases third chance.
I hope everyone is doing well and had a wonderful christmas and are having a splendid new year so far. I miss you all and will hopefully see and talk to everyone very soon.

Things have been so hectic lately. I finally find myself with a few free minutes so I figured I would update on here. I have learned that working 2 jobs takes a lot out of you. Esp. when one is a lot of manual labor like moving big pieces of funriture all day and then the other is an overnight job. Last week I was working 20 hour days everyday but thurs. By Sun morning I was a walking zombie. I did get to drive up and see my family for about 6 hours or so on Thurs. I wish I could've stayed longer, but had to come back and work that night. School is still going great. I'm now officially number 1 in my class and I've been doing so much homework and projects at home in order to possibly graduate early around Spring Break.
I would like to ask for everyone's prayers though. I've been struggling with some issues and it's really got me down, confused, and hurt. Also my grandmother is extremely ill and things aren't looking too good there.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and hopefully I shall talk to you all soon.

Things have been so hectic lately, it's insane. School is going much much better this year now that I'm at Lively. I've only gotten shocked once and that wasn't even my fault so I think Electricity might be my thing. Work has been super hard the last couple of months since I'm the only person working in the back and can only work Friday's and Saturday's b/c of school. I'm pretty much doing a weeks worth of work in 2 days. I'm somehow able to keep caught up for the most part, but I'm so worn out afterwards. I just got a second job at CVS as a cashier. Tonight is my first night and so I'll see how that goes and if it's going to work out for me. I hope it does. Money has been extremely tight for me lately.
My family is doing good. Kathleen seems to be having a blast at USF and claims to be making good grades. My dad has been busy with work, but seems to still be enjoying it and Georgia. My mom is starting to get involved with some stuff around town up there and seems to be fitting in and having a good time up there. They both seem pretty happy with things.
School for me is great. Surprisingly enough it's been 5 weeks for me so far and I have yet to miss a day. I beat my old record by 2 weeks. I'm also making all A's and am number 2 in my class. The number 1 guy has been there for almost a year and so it's hard to catch up to him. haha.
I don't know if anyone still reads this or not, but if you are reading this I hope all is well with you and hope to hear from ya soon.
