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

"To explore new oceans, you must first have the courage to lose sight of the shore."


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.

Life

Bucky has been looking for a job for about two weeks now with no luck. I keep trying to think what bad things we might have done for Karma to bite us so, but I just can't think of anything. If he doesn't get a job SOON, I don't see any way for us to move to Starkville this fall. Finding a job shouldn't be this hard. I wish we had relatives at some company that could get him on. Not only do we need the money for the move I still have tons of medical bills to pay off from my ankle!! I just don't know what to do. He hit up Ripley and Booneville, so I guess we'll hit up Tupelo this week. I don't have as flexible hours as he does to work since I keep Jordyn for momma every week, but maybe I could get a position that just requires me to work Tuesdays, Thursdays, and specific times on weekends. GAH! I'm at my wit's end. I keep trying to leave it all up to God, but it's hard when nothing happens and the deadlines keep drawing closer. I guess we'll just keep trying and hope something shows up soon.

Valentine's Day

Well Bucky and I did get to go out for Valentine's Day. My mommy got put on standby, so she came and picked up Jordyn. They ended up going to Tupelo to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians which they said was quite awsome. Bucky didn't get off work until six, and he rushed home to get me. I was laying on the bed watching tv when I heard the bedroom door open. This silly voice starts saying, "Lindsay, turn around!" I turned around and there was a pink frog, with Rolos attached to his/her arm, holding a bouquet of gorgeous purple flowers. He is so sweet.

He got dressed in a hurry and we were off to Tupelo. He took me to Applebee's which I absolutely love. We did the two for $20 meal deal thing because we're broke college kids. They have really good food on there though! We started off with boneless buffalo wings for our appetizer. Then we both ordered the seven ounce steak with double garlic mashed potatoes. Bucky had his steak cooked rare which I think is majorly gross, and I had mine cooked medium. After dinner we went to Sonic for dessert. I had a Sweetheart shake, and he had a banana split.

Then we drove home as the snow drifted down. It was quite beautiful. Then we got home, ran inside, put on our pjs, and....then we feel into a deep sleep cuddled up.

Overview

This past week has been pretty super! Monday we had no school, and I don't have classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I only go to The Northeast Beacon meetings. I was really hoping we wouldn't have school Friday, but we did.

I got up early and skipped animal science to study for my chem. 2 test. It wasn't too hard, but I always worry myself to death. Friday afternoon a bunch of us went to Kyle's to record speeches. We spent most of our time goofing off which was too fun. Pod made me laugh so hard I cried! I love him to death.

Thursday night one of my bestest friends Brittany spent the night with me, and Friday her and Zack came over and played Rock Band 2 and Band Hero with Bucky, Jordyn, and I. We had a blast. Jordyn sang Love Story by Taylor Swift and was so proud when she got 98%. I love that kid!

Bucky and I originally thought we wouldn't get to go out and celebrate Valentine's Day tomorrow, but my mom may be off! If not, it'll be okay because we'll just stay here and celebrate with Jordyn. She's so excited about getting her little gifts tomorrow. We got her a coloring book, a pig hand puppet, some little dolls, and of course candy. I don't really really care how we spend tomorrow as long as it's with the people I love!!
