Life...
Well, things are doing okay in The Varsh's neck of the woods. Unfortunately Kay lost her job not too long ago so she's been trying to find a new one for about a month now. The job market in McComb is pretty crappy so it's touch for her to find anything. We're hopeful that she'll get something soon. My job is going...okay I suppose. It's getting tough being there so much. I'm working 40+ hours every week and the retail environment is starting to drive me crazy. I'm gonna look for another opportunity once Kay is settled at a new job. Been with AT&T for over a year now so that in itself is a pretty big accomplishment seeing as how I've never had a job over 6 months before this one. The only real issue is that the upper management never seems satisfied with the amount of work that me and my co-workers do. But, that's part of being a corporate employee.
Daniel is doing great. He's such a great little boy. Couldn't ask for a better kid. I hope that I'm doing the best I can for him to be a father. All I hope is that he learns from me and loves me. It's a crazy thought to know that he's gonna be three in just a few months. On the note of birthdays, I'm gonna be a quarter of a century old in about a month and a half. Ugh. I already feel incredibly old and 25 isn't gonna help that.
Me and Kay are looking for a house to buy. Probably in McComb but we're not ruling out a setting change to somewhere like Hammond or even Hattiesburg. Obviously the job situations are gonna help/hinder that alot. I would really like to get away from McComb. If you've never been here, it's a huge blackhole of negative energy here. You can feel it as soon as you get here. It's like a blanket that just falls over you. For instance, we went to North Carolina back in June (more on that in a few), and it felt great to be away from McComb but as soon as we got back the blanket descended on us. It's just a negative place.
As far as North Carolina was concerned, it was AWESOME!!! The best time I've ever had. We really needed that trip as it came in a pretty tumultous time for us. We stayed in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains near the small town of Bryson City, NC for a week. We saw some amazing sights such as the Tuckasegee River and Charlotte NC. I went on my first rollercoasters at a place called Carowinds. I was absolutely terrified at first but by the time I got used to it, it was incredible. The rush! Man I wanna go again hahaha. The cabin was by far the best thing about it though. Overlooking a mountain ridge, private hot tub, beautifully furnished. Man I miss it. I woulda lived there if we could have. And oh man, the rain. It rained really hard and it was amazing. Such an incredible sight. Sheets and sheets of it falling. Nothing like the rain you see in Mississippi. There was one negative time though...we went kayaking down the Tuckaseegee River. Baaaaad idea. We were in a two person kayak and the Tuckaseegee is Class I & II rapids. So...yeah. We flipped, got spilled out, lost our flip-flops, I almost lost my treasured hat, we got stuck on a rock and thought we were gonna die. Shitty experience overall. Fun to say that we did it but, neeeeeever again hahaha. We're planning on going to Colorado in the near future. So that should be fun.
Anyway, things are goin pretty good. Stressful, but good. I have a good life and a wonderful woman who loves me and a great son who I couldn't be more proud of. So, from the land of The Varsh, take care, and I'll see ya soon!
