Out With the Old, In With the New

Well kids, it's officially 2008. Let's see how long it takes me to remember to write 08 instead of 07...i give it about 3 months, lol.

I'm excited about it being 2008 because I GET MARRIED THIS YEAR!! YAY! Very exciting :) I've decided not to post many wedding details on here, cause some people might try to steal them, and that's just not ok. I've already had something of that nature happen, and that was totally uncool. But what can you do about it other than beat that person over the head?! lol.

So I just wanted to post a little entry wishing ya'll a very happy, healthy, and blessed new year :)

Cleverness is Escaping me at the Moment

So I feel the need to update the people who don't read this on what's been going on in my life.

I'm fairly certain that I got said job from previous post! They called me and told me that they were interested in me, and they told me they were going to check my references. Well one of my references emailed me and told me they had been contacted, and sure enough, a few days ago I received an email from my potential future place of employment that contained the release form so they can run my background check! And as long as that goes through well (like it wouldn't) then I get hired! YAY!

In other news, Christmas this year was very different in the Dozier house. We didn't do presents this year. And when I say we didn't do presents, I mean it. Nothing at all. Which was good on the nerves, rather than stressing about shopping and money. But it was bittersweet all the same. This was my last Christmas at home, un-married, and as a Dozier. But I'm sure next year will be fun. It'll certainly be different!

It still hasn't hit me that I'm done with college. I have, however, been experiencing nightmares that involve, but are not limited to:

• Me having to go back to elementary school because I didn't complete something, and they won't let me graduate college til I do. No one will talk to me, or sit next to me at lunch, and the teacher won't let me go to my car.

• I miss exams, and it's in a really dumb class, and it keeps me there another semester, and keeps me from graduating.

• It's move out day in the dorms, and I haven't packed a single thing, I can't find my roommate to help me, people are moving into my room that same day, and they start moving in on top of my unpacked things, and i wind up losing most of my things.

But at least my dreams are interesting.

Other than that, not much has been going on. I've rediscovered my love for reading, and I've been devouring books like it's going out of style. I stayed up til 3am the other day just to finish one of the books! Crazy, I know, lol.

I hope everyone had a marvelous Christmas, and I hope ya'll have a very happy New Year :)

I Finally Did it!

I finally did it. I graduated from college and earned my degree! I now have a B.S. in Agribusiness. I don't feel any smarter, but I do feel like I've accomplished something. I've worked so hard these past 4 1/2 years to get this degree. And I never thought I'd survive my 21 hour semester, but I did.

I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself. Will I miss college? Yes and no. I'll miss some of my friends and professors, but I most certainly will not miss classes, exams, finals, papers, and projects.

It's funny how much different my life is now, than I ever imagined it would be at this point. I'm very please with where I am and the way things are going. God has been so good to me, and it's totally his fault that I'm where I am. :)

My friends and family have done so much to love me and support me through this hectic academic journey. No, I didn't graduate with honors, but I graduated. That's what counts. So what if I didn't have cords and sashes hanging around my neck. I have my degree, and there isn't anything that can change that. I worked my tail end off, and it shows. God is so good!

I also may ave a job soon. I went for an interview on Thursday, and it went pretty well. I just hope that I get this job. It would be a huge blessing, and it's something that I really need right now. But I know that if I don't get it, God has something bigger and better for me in store. Just please be in prayer about this. I know it's down between myself and someone with a masters. But I'm thinking that the person with a masters is looking for a temporary job until something better comes along, and I'm looking for a permanent job. So we'll see how it pans out.

Now the only major thing I need to do is get a move on this wedding planning. It shouldn't be that bad, and I'm pretty sure that it won't be near as stressful as 21 hours of classes were, lol.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me make it this far. I love ya'll and I'm so thankful for you :)

To Hope, or Not to Hope...this is the question

So i've been really stressed lately about finding a job after graduation. Well, I mentioned that as a prayer request in Sunday School this morning, and my Sunday School teacher told me to talk with him after class.

Well it turns out, where he works is looking for people...and he can get me an interview within a week of giving him my resume! No joke! He said he couldn't guarantee me a job, but an interview is a step in the right direction!

I'm not going to mention the job or what it is yet, but if I get it, you'll hear about it!

But lets just say that it starts out at the pay level I wanted.

Please be in prayer over this. This would be a wonderful job for me, and it's everything I've been looking for n a job, even though it isn't ag related.

God is good, and He hasn't let me down yet. And I know that if I don't get this job, then He has an even better one in store for me. But if it was up to me, I'd totally jump all over this one!

Wedding Bells

I'm so ready to be married. July seems so far away, but I know that it will come sooner than I think it will. My main worries is finding a job, and then us finding a house. But it will all come in time...and God hasn't let us down yet.

I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!

"I Just Want You to Know Who I Am."

I give up. I really do. I'm sick and tired of all of this stress, and feeling like no one cares. A little encouragement would go a LONG way right now, but I know better than to ask for it. If you have to ask for it, then it isn't genuine; it's just an inconvenience.

No, this isn't pointed to anyone. So stop reading into it. It's just how I feel right now.

It's times like this I wish I didn't have any friends so I had a legit reason to feel this way.

I just don't know what's going on anymore.

So what if I graduate. I don't have a job to go to. More than likely I'll wind up working retail the rest of my life and earning minimum wage. Go me.

I really don't see any point in graduating right now. All it's doing is making me miserable, and causing me to make everyone around me miserable as well.

Life sucks.
