Hey everyone!!

I hope everyone is in good spirits and are healthy and feeling loved.

I have updates on my life that I wanted to share with msm...this is gonna be a really loooong one so bear with me.

First of all, I lost my job as the receptionist at DSM on Jan 4th. I was feeling very sick that morning so I went to the clinic down the street from my house to get some meds and find out what was wrong with me. I was sitting in the waiting room and I called my work and talked to a co-worker and told him I wasn't feeling well and I would be in as soon as I got out of the clinic. The doc came in and said that I had a stomach virus and severe sinus infection with some pretty severe post-nasal drip and asked that I stayed home from work that day and the next day because my stomach bug was contagious. Well I had a deadline that friday on some stuff I was working on so I decided that I was going to go to work anyway and risk it...I walked into my boss' office and showed him the excuse and told him that I was going to stay anyway and he said don't worry about it that he wants to find someone who can do MAP faster and he fired me ON THE SPOT...I was PISSED. MAP is some gov't stuff where we make sure the MS school systems budgets are right on and there are no mistakes with the money. I was never trained to do this and when I asked the girl, who was doing MAP before I came, how to do it she said this "I would train you and tell you how to do this but I was never trained...your going to have to figure it out on your own, sorry." She also said that she worked on it for 5 years before she fully got it down...My boss gave me 3 months before he let me go because I wasn't doing it fast enough...screw him. Anyway, I have since applied for a job at a floral boutique in town and was chosen for a second interview and am now waiting for the place to call me back some time this week. I have been praying about this so now it's in God's hands.

Thanks to all the msm people who wished me a happy birthday, it was a great one! I am finally 21! and it feels no different from 20...I didn't think it would though. For one of my presents Curt took me to see The Fray and they were awesome! The opening band was called Mute Math and I really liked them too. All in all it was a good birthday.

I didn't get on msm for a while 'cause I was trying to get everything in my life back in order...it's not there yet but it's coming along nicely. :)

Curt and I have officially set a date for September 19, 2009...I know it's a bit away but we both wanted to wait til after he graduates in May of 09 so thats what we decided on.

The tornadoes that ripped through central fl went straight through where I used to live. My uncle lives in Orlando and said that he was spared most of the destruction. So far all of my family and friends in FL are safe! Thank Goodness.
