Cody and I get to move out in 2 weeks! We put a deposit on an apartment a couple of days ago, but we're waiting to move so we can pack. I started packing today. I can't believe all the crap I still have from high school. I can't wait! I've been working on some details of our wedding. I never realized there was so much to go into it. He's planning the honeymoon, and I plan everything else. I'm very okay with that. Work is finally getting better after weeks of torment. Life is looking pretty good on this side of the road.

I decided today that I'm going back to school in the fall. I have a few more months to decide on what I want to do, but I am definitely going back this year. We have a scholarship at work I should be able to get, and it'll cover Motlow. I'll still be working so I'll be able to cover my half of the bills, and whatever I can't get, Cody said he'd take care of. So, I'm excited. :)
North Carolina was nice. It's really cold there too, but we still went to the beach. The drive back was excruciating though. We got set back 2 hours because of a rock slide on the TN/NC line. Lame. My car is filthy from all the salt. It's gross.

I'm for sure gonna be out on my own before my birthday. Going to have a party for my 22nd like I should've had on my 21st. Haha. :)

Anyway, back to work.

I'm laying in bed waiting to get ready for work, and just realized.. I'm going to be 22 soon. I'm getting older and haven't got done all the things I wanted to be done with by now. I wanna get back in school. I want to be out of my dad's house, but I'm actually very close to doing that. I'm getting married next July (for those of you who didn't know, don't feel left out- I didn't broadcast it to the world), and that's actually the one thing I have on track. Don't really want to be an old geezer on my wedding day. Anyway..

Cody and I are following my sister back home to North Carolina the first week of January. 12 hour drive...ugggggh. He has to have surgery on his hands the day before we go, so I'm just hoping he still feels up to it. We took his little brother with us to see Avatar last night. It was a great movie. Their forbidden love blew Bella and Edward off the map; it wasn't even a contest. It could be my underlying annoyance with the Twilight movies though. Good job, James Cameron. :)

Doing a little Christmas shopping before work today. I need to just do it and stop procrastinating. Pretty sure that by the end of the year, Cody and I will be able to move out. Everyone's giving us stuff, and it sets us ahead of schedule. Very exciting.

Christmas is gonna be weird this year. Last year I spent Christmas eve with my mom, Dusty, Nathan, and Jojo drinking. Haha. This year will be completely different since I don't live with my mom anymore; Dusty's in Iraq, and I don't talk to Nathan or Jojo anymore. Maybe this year will be better. I'm optimistic. :)

Been feeling kind of sick lately. I should probably go to the doctor, but I never really have time. I'm constantly working, but I like it.

I could ramble on about one topic for a day, but thankfully I have Nicky to spill it to at work. Plus I'm pretty sure my myspace is very popular with a few people so we're just gonna skip over that topic.
Anyway, time to shower and get stuff done.

Darrin's day is coming up. Gotta go see him on Sunday after work. It's hard to believe it's been 6 years since he's been gone. It's even harder to believe that I was only 15 when he passed away. Anyway, I'm just asking the same thing I do every year. Keep him and his family in your thoughts. They deserve it. <3

So I leave for Texas on Sunday at 4:30. That'll be kinda interesting since I've never flown. I get paid to do it so that helps. Money wins. I love my new car. With Derek's help, I named her Cindy the Corolla. I love the feeling of knowing everything I have, I've worked hard for. Nothing has ever been handed to me. Whoo!

I carved a pumpkin tonight for the first time. :) It was a cute night. I pretty much do the same thing every night I'm not working. I go to Cody's, eat dinner with his family, and fall asleep. Then I wake up at 4 am and go home. I couldn't really pick anything else I'd rather be doing though. <3

I'll be able to move out soon. That's exciting. My job is suddenly kickin' hiney, and I like it. We're hiring, and if you aren't a complete waste of oxygen, you should come work with me. :)

So, I'm exhausted. Time for bed.

love.

I'm myspacin' from my phone, so if there's lots of typos, just excuse them. I haven't blogged in forever. This is just gonna be a random thought blog, so for those of you on the same wavelength as me, you win! I've been working my hiney off. Got a promotion. Hoping I can move out with my dude soon. <3

I get to go to dallas at the end of october. Yay work! Haven't read any good books lately. I have no time to read. :( Pretty stoked for fall. Wisdom tooth is kicking my butt. Kidney infections to the max!! I was dehydrated last week and the last thing i wanted to do was drink more water. Boo. 4 more days. I'm so excited! Katelyn and dillon are so freaking cute. I'm already looking forward to softball season! I dig it. Jasper is a fat cat. And he just bit my face. I think it's bedtime. Work at 7 am. :(

<33,

So, I'm working 35 hours a week. Money is great.

My sister gets to come visit us at the end of this month. But it does suck that they get leave because Matt's going to Afghanistan. So that's no bueno. Meeting my niece and hanging out with my nephew is gonna be FANTASTIC though. They're cute. Almost tooooo cute.

I want a new car. I think I'd rather move out though. So the car's gonna wait.

Softball is over until next year, and now I have nothing to do with my time except work and watch movies. I'm okay with that for now.


Life is good.

<33, Steph.

Let me just say that it's HILARIOUS to me when little girls talk about me, then when confronted, they cry. Seriously.. I can't do anything to you. You're underage.. lol.

My car is messed up momentarily. While driving to le hasting's tonight, my low coolant light came on. Then when I got home, all my anti-freeze leaked out. So I'm pretty sure a hose or something busted. No bueno.

That should get fixed tomorrow.

I have so many awesome trips coming up. Hopefully, I'll get to go to Clarksville on the 31st of this month for Kristina's birthday! Yay! Then February 22nd-March 1st, I'm going to North Carolina with Taylor to visit my sister & her family & Taylor's boyfriend. Yay!

I love it. I also hope to be working 2 jobs soon! Wheee!

Hmm.. Time for bed.
