So not much has gone on since last I posted. I have been working as much as possible for extra money and the job is going well. I did manage to take a vacation and go see my family in Florida which was nice. That was at the end of October and was just starting to get cold up here, so I really didn't want to leave. Nona wasn't making it easy either. She is still trying to get me to move down there. It's tough though the job market is horrible down there and as much as I love my grandparents I couldn't live with them. I don't know. Part of me wants to if only to get out of PA for a while and the other part says that it just isn't the smart thing to do right now. And now I have been invited to move out to California too. A friend is going to be taking a job out there and wants me to move out with her. If I thought FL was far away from my family jeez California. And again something is telling me that it's not the smart thing to do with this economy. Because even though I might be living at home and haven't finished college I at least have a stable job here. It just doesn't seem logical to give up that security and move so far away without knowing that I will have a means to provide for myself.
On a good side though I have been able to go out and do more things recently. I have finally gotten to the Mutter Musuem which was eerie but cool. I made a trip out to Ohio with Mina and Greg to visit some of their friends. Met really awesome people out there and two of them actually don't live to far from me so hopefully I will get to hang out with them. I have been going out with people from work. Actually this Saturday we are all going to a bar to see one of the techs do a show. The band is pretty good. It seems that I might even get to have fun this New Year's Eve (yay no sitting around watching some one play video games) and I might even be going to AC around my birthday but that's still up in the air. And to top all that off I have lost about 20 pounds so I am all pround of myself. GO me! haha
I do ask any of my friends who might still read this to keep my family in their thoughts. The one downer bit of news I have is that in Januray my dad is scheduled to be shipped out to Afghanistan. we are all a bit nervous though he is trying to keep us light hearted but it's hard at times. Actually I have been having a few sleepless nights but staying up doesn't fix anything. Maybe my worry over this will inspire me to write a few poems again. stress generally does that for me. I am going to stay possitive though and add in that he sgould only be gone for four months. Just means we can have an awesome welcome home party for him and he'll be home in time for my mom and dad's 25th wedding anniversary. Even more reason to through a fabulous party.
