Well it has been about 7 months since I have last updated....sorry about that...life has been kind of crazy and what not. Apparently that happens when you grow up. Go figure. A lot of things have happened in the last 7 months. I will try and fill you in on most of it...
In May I got my first tattoo. =) It is on my left foot and it is an ichthus with the Greek letters IXOYE which means Jesus Christ God's Son Savior. It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. The part that hurt the most was the tail because it is right on the bone. Part of it actually tickled and I laughed and Jason (the guy who did it) told me to stop laughing and hold still. Stephanie & Anna went with me and Anna took pictures and Steph held my hand when I needed her too. They make good best friends =) My mom of all people actually wants one now...I inspired her =) what can I say I'm a trend setter. However, when people tell you they are addicting, they are right. I am ready for my next one. I have the idea I just need someone to draw it up. I want to incorporate the letters A L J into a dragonfly. They are me, my sister, and my brothers first initials.
I have also gotten closer to one of my friends, Sam. He is a great guy and has always been there for me through a lot of tough times. He always has my back no matter what and will tell me if I'm being stupid about something. I feel I can talk to him about anything and know that he is always there. He knows the same goes for me as well. We are besties and will forever be no matter what!
I bought a new car this summer too. That was my biggest purchase of life so far. It is an 06 blue Saturn Ion. It is a very nice car and is good on gas. The best part...it has 4 working speakers :) God totally worked that situation out though and that's who all the praise goes to. I am very
thankful.
I have moved to Greentown and am enjoying every minute of it. It is peaceful in the new house, a peace you can feel. I don't dread coming home anymore to worry about what kind of mood someone might be in and if they will be on a tyraid and take it out on us. That is a great feeling to not feel tension and stress anymore and not have to walk on egg shells. This house was an answered prayer. There are only a few more boxes to be unpacked which makes me happy because our house is now a home and the last piece of furniture (sofa) is yet to arrive :( hopefully soon though.
School starts next Monday (24th) and I am kind of freaking out about it. I apply to the Radiography program this December. They only allow 12 people and I don't feel I will get in. My goal for this semester is to make the Dean's List to somehow prove to the board that I am worthy of being in their program. God has brought me this far and worked other school things out and I keep praying for His will so I don't know why I doubt myself. I am taking math, anatomy lab and lecture (get to dissect the cat again), philosophy of ethics, psychology of personality and folklore. Hope it all works out. I will have a new anatomy prof because the one I had last semester well he got himself into a little trouble down in Louisiana. I didn't like him from the start and it is sad to know that I actually had reason to think he was creepy. He got arrested for child solicitation on the internet. Sad and disgusting.
My brother and sister are growing up fast. They are both driving now and he is a sophomore and she is a junior. This fall they are playing Volleyball and football for North Miami. My sister and I have become quite close and we are basically best friends, my brother and I are close too but he is going through his teenage boy stage and being stupid. He needs skooled on some things.
My Grandma Watson is improving from where she has been. She was in Lebanon for colon surgery and had complications with that which led to infection and she wears a colostomy now. We almost lost her a couple times but boy is she a fighter...maybe I get some of that from her. However she does have an inoperable mass on her left temporal lobe and we do not, or I do not, know whether it is malignant or benign.
My Nanny is slowly improving from her pinched & damaged nerve in her neck and shoulder girdle (clavicle) area. She is in phyiscal therapy and will hopefully regain the use of her left hand. It is sad to watch someone who has enjoys doing counted cross stitch, knitting, crocheting and other sewing things to not be able to do it anymore.
