Interviews

So... I've been looking for a job and I haven't had much luck; however, I have in the last week had 2 interviews with 2 different companies. I reapplied to Tmobile and Verizon had a job fair. On the way to the job fair, Tmobile called and set up an interview for the next day. I was excited because I'd been really working hard to get my timidness under control to be able to get a good job. I went to the job fair and we had to stand outside for a while... So long that someone actually passed out, but... She's ok. We were weeded into this room after they found our applications and waited for an interview. My name was called and I started talking to the lady as we walked to the place for the interview and it came up that my mom works there. She asked who my mom was and I told her. As it turns out... She is my mom's boss's boss. So She knew my mom and was excited to interview me. The interview went good and I had to go back the next day for an assessment. So I went to the assessment and passed. They set up a phone interview for the next day (I was excited). So then I went to my Tmobile interview. It went really well...except for the part they forgot to tell me that i was ineligible for the position because the policy had recently changed. (Heather fussed at them). So Friday, I took Heather to work because the movie we went to see on date night (Going the D1stance) started right after she got off so she wouldn't have time to come back and get me. She listened to my phone interview and jumped for joy with me when I found out I have a third interview on.... MONDAY!!! So maybe that will work out. After work, we went to Cinebarre. It's like a movie theater that you can get like hamburgers and stuff at... We LOVED the movie, but the rest was a bit expensive especially for it just to be average food. It was an experience none the less. We have just been relaxing and doing what we want yesterday and today but... I'm excited about my interview on Monday.

On another note.... Welcome Back to Blogging Chrissie!

Jess

Busy Busy Busy

So I started my new job 2 weeks ago and I love it. I love the people I work with and the job itself. However I must admit I am exhausted. I feel like I dont have time to do anything I want or need to do outside of work anymore. It is becoming over whelming. My weekends have not been restful at all. I have been so busy with things both weekends I have not even had time to sit down and relax at all. But all in all its worth it. Jess is still looking for a job. Hopefully she will find something she likes. Things have been okay this way. Not great just okay. I know its been awhile since we have blogged and I apologize for that. Just been kinda crazy. Jess's dad is doing so much better now so at least that is off of our chest. Jess's Birthday was on the 19th and we celebrated by going out to dinner together. We had a good time. My brother joined the Navy. A BIG shock to the whole family. He leaves for Basic in October. We are still not sure how my niece (Brianna who is 5) is going to deal with it. However he is very excited about it so we are going to support him. I know that we do not update very often anymore but I do read all of the blogs I follow so I can see how everyone is doing. I hope everyone is doing great! And I promise I will start blogging more!

Lack of Sleep

These last couple of days have been hectic to say the least. It all started Saturday night... Jess and I were laying in bed, and Jess's mom knocked on the door and said they were going to take Jess's dad to the hospital. So of course we jumped up and ran out to see whats going on and he was having really bad pains in his stomach and he could not keep anything down...so off to the hospital they went and our job was to keep the dogs and try to stop them from freaking out (Yes they are spoiled rotten) The next day we found out that her dad was going to have to have surgery. He had a hernia that had messed up his small intestine and his bowels. So after 4 hours in surgery he comes out and doesn't even know who he is or where he is at. (It was a very tense and traumatic day) Today he remembers everything and seems to be doing some better, although he is still very tired and sore. He is going to be in the hospital for a while, then he will be home and out of work for a while. So we haven't slept hardly at all, and we are all exhausted, mentally, physically and emotionally. Its been a lot to take in and deal with all at once. Of course Jess has been amazing in supporting her mom even though she is really hurting and scared too, but she doesnt let it show til we are alone and then I just hold her as she cries. I will update later as I can. I hope all is well in blog land!

The Last Song

Have you ever felt down, like really really down, and not want to talk or not really want to be around people. Well that's how I feel right now. I am just bummed. Not really sure why. I just feel like nothing is working the way I want it too. Things have been kinda tense with Jess and I...why you might ask...well there is alot of reasons but none that I really know how to point out. I have been struggling with myself much less trying to be in a relationship. I mean we have our good days and our bad. It just seems like we haven't been connecting right ya know? I dont really know how to describe it. I am just majorly bummed out right now...

On a lighter note...I finished "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks...and I loved it. My favorite book by him by far! I mean Nicholas Sparks is arguably one of the best current authors out there right now, He has had so many good novels out, most of which are now being turned into films that are making major money in theaters. The only thing I don't like about that is the fact that the books are ALWAYS better then the movies. The movies just don't do the books justice. Now I have not seen "The Last Song" and I can't wait to see it (It comes out on Dvd on August 17 by the way) So I just started reading the book yesterday afternoon and I finished it in less then a day...thats how good it was. I can not go on enough about it. Jess has not read it yet, she is now reading it so I can't give it away but I would strongly recommend it to everyone out there to read it.

Well I am off to bed, to what I am sure is going to be another restless night.

Oh what a day...

Today has been a great day. I got my haircut, spent the day with Jess and her mom, and we cooked out and went swimming. Now I am sitting at home reading the new book I got from the library today and relaxing with my love while the brownies are in the oven...yeah I know they are not good for our diet however, we are starting out slow and not cutting everything out in our diet. So we get one dessert a week and tonight is the night.

Lately my hair has been driving me crazy. I am not one to have long hair, because well I just dont like it on me. I have just been so busy lately I have kinda let my hair go and boom it was half way down by back before I knew it. Crazy! So today I finally took the time to go get my hair done and I feel so much better! Whew! I can breathe again. After I got my hair cut I went to lunch with Jess and her mom. It was great. I love Jess's mom. Things have gotten so easy with them. Its like we are all family now...however with that being said...it kinda makes me sad because I am majorly drifting away from my own family. I used to talk to my mom everyday and now not so much. We got into this big argument because I wanted to come see them before I start my job because I know that when I do start I wont have alot of time. My mom just acted like she didnt want to see me and when I asked about it she said it was easier "dealing" with me on the phone...that I was an embarrassment to my family because I am gay. Ouch...that stung. My dad has not talked to me since I came out. He wont answer my phone calls or reply to my texts so I quit trying. It just hurts me so bad, to not have my family apart of my life. It's not fair that I can't have Jess and them. It hurts more then I can possibly explain. I can't live my life for my family, I can't be who they want me to be, and it sucks. Anyways...

I am super excited about starting my new job. I am beyond excited. I am going somewhere with my life and it makes me so happy and I feel good about it. This is a huge opportunity for me and I am so grateful that it has presented itself for me.

Okay I am going to read more of my book "The last song" by Nicholas Sparks. Good night blogging world...

Swimming, Pecan Pie, And Crablegs?

So...Heather and I went to movie under the stars the other night. It sounds like a really romantic idea, and I believe had we been able to hear it would have been. Alas, we had a great time. Well before the movie started, there were families eating and such. At first it was all picnic foods, you know chips, sandwiches and such. Well...This family comes up, puts there blanket and chairs out and they have these 3 cute picnic baskets... I like people watching and since they were beside us it was easy to discretely watch them...Out of the three baskets came shrimp, crab legs, caviar, champagne, and cocktail sauce. Complete with the cracker thing for the legs! It was insane!! I got attacked by bugs (they make me very itchy sometimes apparently) and we got cotton candy too!! (yea....it was an off diet weekend) So then we went driving towards the beach just so we didn't have to go home yet, and on the way back....there was a car UPSIDE DOWN!! It was all upside down turtle like. Overall we had fun!

SO Sunday is my Dad's day to cook. He LOVES to cook. He cooked bbq, brunswick stew, baked beans and coleslaw... lol wow...we had a bcd (B stuff C coleslaw D dinner) lol yea...i'm a dork And then....It was TRUE BL00D time! We watched it as a family, ate pecan pie and boiled peanuts! it was YUMMY!

Oh...I started another loom bracelet yesterday. Its turning out really pretty. Its an ocean scene. Maybe once I finish We can post pictures of it for you guys to see. Loom beading apparently really relaxes me and its alot of fun. I have a few lined up for me to do. I have done Heather a key chain that says ♥ H ♥ J ♥ and I did a Rainbow Row one for my mom (Rainbow Row for those who don't know about Charleston, is this row of old time houses that are all painted different colors. Its really pretty) and I did a key chain for Nanny that has flowers and then it says Nanny. I have one in my head to do for my sister. Its going to have her, her husbands, and her kids initials on it. THen...I'm doing another one for Heather that will be rainbow colors and and have a pink heart then Heather then a blue heart. I also want to try and make a ring out of my loom. I have an idea in my head for it and I hope it works. I think they're going to be really pretty.

SOo... We just got word that Heather gets to start a full week and a half early for work! Thats the 15!!! Its 10-7 and weekends off with me! Thats Awesome! I'm soo proud of her! She's amazing. I'm amazing too, but I'm only learning that.

Then...Today...We got to go SWIMMING!! My grandparents are out of town so we went over there an went swimming in their pool. It was so relaxing and it felt good for it to be just me and Heather not worrying about anything. She's my world. We had alot of fun.

Ah phoey...I gotta go comfort two puppies who are afraid of thunder...
