Oh how I've missed thee

I know it's been awhile since I last blogged. Life has been quite hectic. I'm sorry for my lack of attendance. I'm pleased to tell you all that my life is looking quite bright at the moment. Tomorrow we get our FASFA checks, Dustin and I most likely have an affordable apartment in Starkville locked down (we're going to see it Thursday), and I'll finally be able to afford insurance for my car thanks to FASFA. Also, my orientation fee is paid, and my mommy is coming with me. We're going to pay Dustin's tomorrow. After Thursday, our futures will be pretty much set. All we'll have to do when we move is find jobs and get electricity. I'm really kind of excited but also quite terrified. I know that living on own our is going to be difficult at times, but I'm ready to tackle the adventure.

Science Fair

The regional science fair was today at Northeast, and Jordyn was in it. This was her first year to ever be in a science fair, and she made it to regionals! She was so nervous because she had to talk to the judges all by herself. She did a really good job though. She was one of the first ones judged, so she had to stand by herself at her board for over an hour. She was a good girl though. She was conviced that she'd lost because there were so many other kids there, and it was all new to her. Needless, to say she was sort of bummed the rest of the day. I tried to cheer her up by taking her on a tour of Northeast. She got to meet Dr. Hughes and Mr. Tony. That cheered her up some. We went back to the gym and looked through the other projects. There were a lot of really spectacular projects, and today was only the first-sixth graders. I was impressed. Then the awards ceremony rolled around, and Jordyn got third place! We were all so excited. She got a cute little trophy and everything. She was so proud of herself.

Karma, I forgive you

Well not to jinx myself but things seem to be looking up. Dustin and I both got accepted to Mississippi State today, and he has an interview at Captain D's this evening. He also found out that he can work as a medical lab technician after we graduate this May, so we're hoping that will open up more (and better) job opportunities this fall. We're still looking for a place to live in Starkville, but I have faith that it will work itself out in due time. I hope this interview goes will tonight. He isn't thrilled about working in fast-food, but it's only until the fall. It seems karma has decided to be nice for once. I just hope it all works out for the best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
