Finally

We'll we finally moved into our apartment yesterday. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. We haven't quite gotten everything unpacked yet, but I'm still uber excited. Brittany and my step-dad helped us get everything down there. Brittany even spent the night. I love her! The puppies were a little stressed, but they were better this morning. We have to take them outside on a leash, so that's always fun since they're used to being able to run around. We had to come back for Dustin to go to work and to bring Jordyn home, so we're just staying the night up here. I hate that I had to leave my babies alone after just one night in a strange place. I'm sure they'll be happy to see us Monday! We don't have Internet at our apartment yet, so my blogs will probably dwindle in number more so than they already have. Lol. I'll post pics next time though!

The end

Well today was the first day of finals, and I only had one, Spanish. I wasn't too stressed about it; I enjoy Spanish. I ended up with an A for the semester, so go me! I don't have any finals tomorrow, go me again! Monday I have chem. 2, and Tuesday I have animal science. That will officially end my time at Northeast. It's bittersweet. I'm ready to move on, but I will miss Northeast. I really have enjoyed my time there. I wrote a "Dear John" type break-up letter to Northeast for The Beacon. I post it here for your reading pleasure.

Dear Northeast,



These words have lain heavy on my heart for some time now. I know there is no easy way to say this. I know that I have given you some of the best years of your life and you mine, but sadly, I feel it is time for me to move on. Please do not cry. I could not bear to see it. I know this is hard for you. I have enjoyed our time together; truly, I have. It is not you; it is I. I have grown too big for this small Taco Bell-less town. I need someone who can satisfy my “fourth meal” cravings, and you just cannot do that for me. I will miss you. I truly will. I will take everything you have given me wherever I go. Henceforth, I shall always fear the almighty wrath of yellow parking spaces. Our memories are something no one can take away from us. I will always love you my dear Northeast, and I will never forget you.


Love always,


Lindsay Hill

On another note, I received a community college transfer scholarship to Mississippi State. It pays about half my tuition, and I'm very thankful for it. I'll be receiving financial aid as well, so I should be fine. I've felt very blessed here lately.

Blah

Well still nothing interesting has happened in my life. Lol. I've mainly been getting caught up on school work and getting ready for finals next week. I'm so ready for this semester to be over with. Dustin and I are going to our apartment this weekend. I'm going to clean it from top to bottom while he puts in some job applications. Hopefully he'll get a job quickly! We're moving in a little less than three weeks. I'm excited! The sad thing is, we haven't packed a thing yet!! We've got to get on that.

I'm also a little sad about moving because I'll be two hours away from my mommy. My mom and I are very close and right now, I can hop in my car and be at her house in no time. Hopefully, I'll get to see her a lot this summer. At least Jordyn will be with me every week. Since momma is working weekends now, Jordyn will be staying with me while she's at work. Since it's summer she can even stay longer. She's excited because she'll have her own room at our apartment. Lol. She asked if she could put pink carpet in it. I love that kid.

Wow, it's been awhile!

UPDATE: Dustin and I offically have our apartment in Starkville.

 Back Patio of our apartment!

We looked at it and just knew it was right (The place is called Pine Grove Apartments which is the name of our old high school lol). We've already signed the lease and everything.

Our kitchen!










The manager couldn't hold it until August, so we're moving in in May. I'm really excited. They know about all our animals and everything!

Living Room!

Hopefully we can make it work down there. We're hoping since we're moving early that Dustin can find a job without too much trouble. I really hope so! We've got some money stashed for emergencies in case it takes a little while.

Dustin in the master bedroom




















RECENT: My bestest friend Brittany got married this past Saturday. I was the Maid-of-Honor and Dustin was the Best Man. It was a small but lovely wedding. I nearly died in my heels, but other than that it was great. The reception was elegant and the food was delicious! Then Dustin, Jordyn, Katie (The other bridesmaid), and I decorated their car. We filled the entire inside with ballons. We were all a little worn out from blowing them all up by the time we were done. We also tied some Coke cans to the back. I thought we did a pretty good job, and they seemed to like it.

Sadly, that's pretty much all that has happened since my last post. I'm praying that May rushes in. I need a long break from school! I've decided I'm not taking any summer classes as a treat to myself and because we'll be settling into a new place. I'm mostly just excited about taking a new step toward our future!

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.
