ok, so its been a while. things that are going on in my life... in 8 days, my real full blooded sister is coming up here to meet me... yeah, thats right. MEET me.. we have never met. I actually didnt even know about her until about 5 years ago, after my mom died. weird huh. so we bought her a ticket to come out here, and she is coming. She has never been out of Louisiana, and has never been on a plane. So this trip is going to be huge for her. I am excited and scared about this whole thing. like, i am excited, because this is a whole nother sector to my life that i have never even known about, and i get the opportunity to learn. But i am scared because we grew up TOTALLY different. Before i get into this, please know that in no way, shape, or form am i looking down on her, or think shes a horrible person because of the things that she has or doesnt have.
So, when i was growing up, i had my mom, which she was an amazing mom. I love her to death, and even though we had our differences in thoughts and opinions, i loved her. I got a great step dad, and lived a happy little life. Of course, i had my rough spots, i watched my mom die... BUT, i was able to finish High School, get a job, move away, go to a little bit of college, and buy my first truck. which will be paid off by july. I live with a great family who loves me VERY much, and help me out in every way. I dont pay rent, dont pay for my cell phone, but pay for my gas, insurance, and my truck. My sister on the other hand, was raised by my cousins, and didnt and still dont have very much money. She dropped out of HS. She has the schooling level of a 6th grader. She doesnt have a job, no car, no lisence, no nothing. She is 20 years old.
I dont want her to come up here and not like me becasue i had a different life than her. ALSO a small little point that changes everything... when i was three years old, my mom took me and ran away from my father, leaving my sister behind. Now, i have no idea of why those were the actions that she chose. i have heard that my father was abusive, and an alcoholic. My mom was young and probably scared. Please do not think badly of my mom, because like i said, she was an amazing woman, i guess we all make bad decisions some times.
So, I am scared that she will come up here and not like me because i was the one that was taken, and i ended up being the one that had the great life. Besides the fact that my mom died when i was 15, i have lived a pretty easy and comfortable life. she has not. I also feel bad, because she will never get to meet her mom. this has got to be hard, especailly since she was such an amazing person. I also dont know what to do with her when she gets here. I mean, i am usually a very outgoing and not shy person. I just hope i am like that when she is here. I mean, besides the basics like what color she likes the best, she is a complete stranger... one that is getting tossed into my life, and almost expected to fit. UGH.
The second thing that is going on in my life, something not as serious.. is my truck. Someone the other day hit it in the parking lot, and drove off. So I am dealing with the insurance company and getting them to send me the check, and when i am talking to the guy at Geico, he asks me why the man who assessed my truck from Geico didnt just issue a check right then. UGH stupid people. So he issued a check for me for 1500 which will come directly to me, and then i cash it, take my truck get it fixed for cheaper than what the check is for, and then get the little things fixed on my truck with the reamaining money. exciting.
Third thing... I am finally moving back to Vegas. I know i know, i have said this before, but it is finally final. I am moving August 15th... or around there. I am moving in with my friend Ana. I will probably either go to a job placement agency, or the vet clinic that i job shadowed up here, they will write me a letter of recommondation, and they are going to be training me in the little time that i have still up here, and so that will hopefully help my chances of getting a job. but at least my truck will be paid off, and i wont be driving everywhere... so yeah.
Fourth... i finally got all my debt paid off. I am debt free... AND i found out that all this debt stuff didnt even touch my credit, which i thought it did, so i was freaking out about that, but it didnt! how stoked am i?!
ok i think this is long enough. i will try to keep this more updated.
