Maybe it's time to change

This week I did one of the hardest things I have ever done before. I left my boyfriend of four years and his son who I have raised as my own. It was difficult however I had to do what made me happy. Saying goodbye to him was hard but leaving Tristin was nearly impossible. I think that I need to focus on school and work and get my life straight before I can fully commit to anyone or anything else. I was listening to a song by the group sick puppies (yes I know doesn't sound all that great) titled maybe it's time to change and the message really spoke to me. I know that I'm doing what it takes to move forward happily. I would just like to say that even though it's hard and it may feel wrong to you, you should do what makes you happy, life is simply too short to be cautious.

A Big Crossroads In My Life

I am sad to say that this post is not a happy one. I have had quite possibly one of the biggest scariest things happen to me and I wish with all my heart that I could fix it. My father (stepfather) and mother are getting a divorce. I am one of those people that always looked at my mom and dad and saw exactly what I wanted in my life. It's one of those things that you simply never see coming and I'm upset at the turn of events. Although he is not my real dad he has raised me and is all I have ever known, he made my family happy and was the glue that held us together, its sad to know that it didn't work with my mom. I have gotten through this better than I expected and my week has been a big, depressing, teary, runny nosed mess and I want everyone to know that no matter what you are going through it will be all right. I have taken this as an example in my life to hold on to what is dearest to me, and the reason for me posting this is so that for everyone reading they can relate to me and hopefully take my advice and use whatever it is you are going through to learn what you can from it.  

New favorite series!

Hey guys,
this week I was just bored witless so I decided to take a trip to Hastings, my absolutely favorite store ever. I love to read and I was looking for a new series to start, and I came across one of the most interesting books since twilight. It was called marked, another series about vampires but totally and completely different. I can't give away too much but in this book children are marked in their teens by a servant of the goddess, Nyx. Once marked these teens are of course feared and hated, whilst being relocated to a vamp school in the area. Its a great book and for those like me, bored and always up for a good book, you should really check this one out!

What's new today?

Hey guys! So I was sitting at work talking to some friends and I found out something that has both it's good and bad sides. I was told that our income taxes were going to be taken away and that the company I worked for was instead not going to hold out any taxes on our weekly paychecks. I look forward to income tax like many others I'm sure. I had planned to save back this years and next years to go towards buying a home, I'm so tired of renting! This put a huge damper on my plans because while I'll have bigger paychecks I will have a much harder time saving up for this one thing that I really want. I'm not sure how to feel about this at all. To add to the concern we had a horrible tragedy. A co-worker of mine just recently lost her husband to a heart attack. Just two weeks later, three days ago, her son committed suicide. Even worse another co-worker lost two brothers within a months span. I can't explain enough the pain I feel for them and I hope they know my prayers are with them. It's crazy how everything can be great one minute and the next you're in tears.

Issues that concern me

Here lately we have had some strange weather. Everyone at work has been talking about the rising prices in food due to all the weird weather changes and it's got me wondering when things will go back to normal. To top it all off gas prices have gone from tolerable to unimaginable within a month time frame. I have heard that prices could reach up to four dollars within the next year or so. These things concern me a lot, is anyone else bothered by this?

My experience so far

 I am in no way a writer and this class has been challenging for me so far. I'm constantly second guessing myself and hopin that I'm doing something right. It isn't easy trying to keep up and with the stress of christmas my inept writing abilities are showing through. I just hope that I'm not the only one going through this struggle. I feel once the holidays are passed that I can truly focus on what's most important.
