Hello everyone. I've not written for a while. I wanted to let alot of you know i really miss you. I miss Lio, i miss Matt B, Matt C,Gabe, Zach, JerOmey and a few of you in the TN crew =). Megan, Keith, LJ, Tony, Craig, Chris C, Seth, Ryan, Brian, Kevin, Lucky, Ralph, Bud, Adam well... lately ive been thinking alot about everyone, believe me when i say everyone even if ur name isnt on here... because... i may not be able to recall everyone at a moments notice. I dont thank everyone enough for being a gret friend, and for forgiving me when life gets busy... that i dont get to contact you or spend the time that i want to with you. I want you to know that even if we havent spoken in weeks moths or even a year that you can call me if you want to. I just had a friend call me tonight and tell me he just got a ring for his girl... didnt know he had a girl, we talk all the time. Suspected he may have had something to hide. Wanted my advice on his merrage... what a freaking honor. Let me tell, i dont know how more someone could tell you how important you and your input are to them... i mean good god.

My job at Bank of America is going very well. I was promoted to Full Time, and yes in my situation and in BoA this can be and is a promotion. When ur told u have to wait 6 months for full time or a promotion, then get it in 2... im doing well. My reviews are good, i get compliments, was nominated by my mgr for a customer svc award, next day that customer comes in and speaks to the branch mgr, and gets my regional mgr's email addy. My regional sales mgr knows my face and my name after the 1st meeting, and is already helping me shape my career by the 2nd meeting. My branch mgr and cust svc mgr pull me aside from time to time and pay me compliments and have that "wow" kinda geeze ora about them. Dont get me wrong i get "coached" too. Ive worked at 4 other BoA locations, and because of it learned new techniques in sales and procedures. Made friends and possible connections, 3 offered me positions, all want me to come back to work. After the 18th i start full time, so for me to go work at another branch would require over time pay.... even had one locaiton offer me overtime on saturdays. I am going to take every Sat i can get. Enough about the career.

Making new friends, and trying strengthen other relationships. SteveO and just passed 6 months on the 2nd. For those of you who have known me a while, 6 is the longest ive had. All have been meaningful relationships if not long. This one is wonderful. I love my boy, and as hard as things can get, when times are good i think to my self, its so worth it, he makes me so happy. He makes me laugh, with and at him. =). If u didnt know his nick name is Squares dont ask but thats who im talking about if i say squares. He is out of town right now in Miami earning extra money for us with a friend. He trys so hard sometimes, and it makes me happy. He bought me 2 ties he says and it just makes me smile inside and out. He loves me so much, and i love him too. Silly boy earns 150 and spends 90 on a watch... spend the 46 he went down there with on food and those ties and cloths for me. Granted its not wasted money but damn, we are soooo struggeling. We have a very nice apt now. My mother, and sister and brothers see to that. We get the hand - me - downds that are well... very nice. My mom helps me out every opportunity she gets with out giving me a monitary hand out. She bought us a dryer from the Auction for 60 bucks. We dont have a washer yet but who cares? better than nothing. Im in school part time still, and failing for my 2nd term. I cant do the full time thing, play softball on sundays, and do school, but its 600 a month for me if i continue school... so ? what should i do? Next term im going to gut it out and stop school before i destroy my gpa and my chances of going places.

I havent worked out serious style since half way through my tour in S. Korea. Bad... really bad. But 3 days of push ups and i see the difference, so i know deep down i can still get it back in 3 months. Looking to buy a house around August of next yr on the West Coast... but before then... going to drive to Nashville, see if SteveO likes it. Maybe look up there? NC, WA, still looking to get away, but i dont know if i can give up the beach yet. Surf City NC ? Bank of America is everywhere so i have my options, if they arent already in your neighborhood, watch the bank that is, we just havent bought it yet.

Did i mention how much i believe in the company i work for? I think that makes you an better employee, and a great team if everyone loves their employer. ITs so simple to take care of your own, and it comes back in quality and loyalty and eventually in revinue. Army is a good example. In fact ive only meet or heard of 1 solitary person who doesnt like it, and she really doesnt belong anyway. She a black eye in our bank, and some how among some great peers im shining. I really hope this is my last job, but it needs to pay better and quick, cuz sky marcials get paid 40-80k a year. i get 18,000 (beinfets are unbelieveable though).

I cant believe this is truly the first time living on my own, as in no military, no roomate (fir the first 3 months). It feels as if its always been this way. I guess in reality, the only diff is i have a rent payment now, and dont have people walkiing in and out as they please. But im still not the king of my own domain, i share that with Squares. He sometimes gives me the respect i think i desere other times im going nutz. Ive got some learning to do.

Back to my friends, no one except Matt B and Lio have taken me up on my having a place to stay when u visit. Unfortunately Matt and Lio.... I didnt have my own place when u came lol. Now i do, and im serious.
