Well hey there! Life has been so busy, I tell ya!
We've really been really doing well at work. Bass Pro Shop has sold more this year then they did this time last year (when they opened) It has been amazing how many people fit in BPS in a day! And its not like this and that day its full.. the parking lots are ALWAYS full! You can't get anywhere to park unless you get there early in the mornings! But I really can't blame them because the prices are really cheap and alot of great stuff are on sale!

Yesterday I took Steven to get some jeans. I'm getting tired of the kakis he's wearing and besides they are all ripped up and worn out. I want to throw them away. Anyway I have an extra discount so I took him to get some jeans that unzip for shorts, some carpenter pants and some dark brown jeans. I got 40 percent off and the most i had to pay for the jeans were 10 dollars a piece, by the time everything was taken off :) It was incrediable! I love it!

Okay -- so lets see now, what else could be going on?
My fav. lead Tracey fired herself last week.. it was really sad and when she told me tears really came to my eyes. She was so much fun and we're all going to miss her, but there are other girls that I'm getting to know better now so its still worth being there ;)
My friendd JP even cut back his hours as he's working for some place in the mall and he moves boxes around for his job and they're giving more hours -- so I'm taking his hours
And my other friend Audrey is going to leave to work at some mailing company :P *wishes her luck* so I'm gonna take her hours as well.

How many hours is considered full time btw? I'm working right at 37- 37.5 a week. It would be sad if its 40 lol Cause I'm on the brink but not close enough I guess lol Whenever it comes to needing insurance I'm still deciding what I want to do.. Steven wants me to go with his insurance but its so expensive for health -- not dental i've already joined his dental long ago-- so I dont know.. I'd hate to have to leave BPS just to get health insurance... *sigh*

Christmas is just right around the corner. I saved up change all year to get something small for Steven and now he's all upset because he can't get me anything since we dont have any money and if we did he knows I'd make it go to our late bills and over due ones before it goes to a gift for me. Yall pray for the poor guy. Its not like i'm gonna die if I dont get a Christmas gift this year lol

Well -- the weather has really been warm. Im not complaining but I'm afraid to see what spring and summer will be like if we dont get a good frost. Bugs and misqu. are going to be so thick its gonna be very sad :( And allergies for this state will be worse and we dont need that -- I dont get alllergy problems that often but it kills Steven as it is. :(

Well -- I must get going. Today is my day off and I want to enjoy it! *smiles*
I need to clean up the house -- I can't really do things like clean frig and stuff like that when I'm working during the week so I do it on my days off lol and I want to make alot of Christmas cookies! :D *yummy!*

Lots of Love sent your way!

Terrible Tormenting Troubles

Hello, I can't really say this has been a very successful weekend. I ended up working way over what I should have and even Saturday I had to go in at 11:30 and didnt get off till 11:30 that evening. I was so dead tired. I owe you an appology Eric, for not calling you Friday night. My phone died on my way from work-- I live prolly 30 minutes from Henryville and by the time I got to my inlaws house Steven and his dad had already left to see if I was okay. Even his mom went out earlier to BPS to check on me as I wasn't answering my (tho they didnt know was dead) cell. Anyway Saturday as soon as I got in we all went to bed and that was about it...

Tonight wasn't any better. My work had a free meal at Golden Corals this evening. After church steven and I headed over that way but something is wrong w/ one of our vehicles. It at first had the motor light blinking but stopped. As we got on the highway we found we couldnt get over 50 miles and hour. The gas pedal was all the way to the ground and instead of gaining speed I could hear what sounded like air getting louder and louder. We pulled off to a gas sation in memphis and steven called his family (who were just leaving memphis church). They came over and as we got out of the vehicle I smelt gas big time. His family ended up having to take me to golden corral and dropped Steven off to get the other vehicle. Now, tomorrow I have to get up at 5 to take steven to work so i can have a vehicle myself. I'm really upset about this.



I could really ask for prayer please. I try writing about the awesome fun stuff going on in my life... but I really need alot of prayer. Our warrentee went off of our vehicle months ago when my sister was still with us. I racked up the miles going to and from Smoothy King until the warrentee was up... thankfully we're paying for somewhat of a warrentee i just hope its enough to count for anything. :(
Thanks for the prayers!
