| ...but it's a beautiful ride |

Well I used to write... alot... to get out my frusterations and I guess that's why I'm typing now. I'm not absolutely disappointed in life right now- even though I complain,I know I'm greatly blessed.
I've been learning alot about myself lately. And just when I thought I had already gone through that "discovering yourself" phase in life, it just goes to show how you always keep learning.
So they say every new marriage goes through a bad financial strain the first year, but they are wrong. We've been fine the past year, it looks like that financial strain is going to hit us for the second year. *Sigh* I don't feel like blabbing it all to the world so I'll just type it here for tp vent and I don't mind the like 2.5 people on my friends list who still log in. Hah.
Well, we bought a house. A mighty fine house if I do say so myself. Not a brand spankin new big house, but a homey house on almost an acre with a fishing pier that suits us perfectly. And of course, everyone know that buying a house makes you broke. We managed to save up and pay for everything, minus a little cash we borrowed from Matt's folks, we were on track, things were just a little tight. Well, then my job decides they want to start backdating our pay (most places you get back pay- you get your check two weeks after the actual time worked, we weren't like that before) and so hey we get to go a month with only one paycheck. At first I was thinking it was fine because our next check would be bigger- only no. I didn't stop to realize our next check wouldn't be bigger, but after we stop working here we will continue to get a check one more time. So a loss of pay that will not benefit me until I am no longer with the company, great! Whatever- no big deal, right? I mean come on, Matt has a stable job and about to get a raise and all. Well, when we bought the house, we still have our lease with the rent house until August. We figured someone would rent it out soon because it's only $850 a month and in League City that's a steal... well... no one has rented it yet. So each month on top of our $1350 mortgage we have to pay $850 more towards rent. No biggie though, we would just have to be a little more tight.... then... biggest hit of them all- Matt looses his job. Absolutely ridiculous reason, too. Ohhhh if only I could speak a few words to a particular Acuren employee. Well, now it's been about two weeks and we thought he would start work this week. He went job hunting last week and found somewhere very promising (besides the fact that he would be working six 12's and wouldn't be doing ropes access which he loves)and come Monday, they tell him everything looks good but the guy who makes decisions is out of town until Thursday. THURSDAY. So.... if he starts next week... two weeks until paycheck at least... we're screwed. It sucks. I have no clue if we're going to be able to pay everything we need to pay.. but we will find out.
On anoter note, I'm super excited for that check the IRS is cutting everyone! But get this- when you get your check is broken down by the last two digits of your SS# mine being 01, thinking oh yes we get it on the 2nd... but nooo it goes by Matt's SS# and his is wayyyyy towards the end. Lame. Oh well, we're still getting it!
Oh, did I mention my inspection sticker is out next month and my truck still isn't running right...
Man, I'm just ready for this all to be over. Soooo much stress. And stress at work. So busy, ridiculously busy most of the time. I need a vacation to somewhere nice! Oh wait... that costs money!
Nah, things aren't really THAT bad, other than stress. I still have the most amazing husband ever, an amazing house, and amazing puppy (can't forget the Anya Bear!) and an AMAZING God who takes care of me even through the rough times. Hopefully we'll dig out of this whole soon with minimal bandaids. ;)

SO.. Uncle Charlie... MD Anderson... brain tumor.. not so good. To sum it up.
Anytime there is something bad happening, my mom vents it all towards me. I'm a horrible person, I'm insensitive, I'm this, I'm that. I swear she is absolutely heartless towards me sometimes. I know, I don't make it any better by getting as angry back at her as I do, but you deal with that for 21 years and tell me you wouldn't be quick tempered. I think she has it deep rooted in the back of her mind somewhere that I ruined her life and therefor I'm the cause of all bad. Not that she tells me that, but there has to be some reason.
On a good note though, I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT! My best friend in the entire world is preggo! I've never been too excited over babies, but this one I am! Haha I've already got a Burt Bee's mama bee package being sent to Brenda with belly and foot creams and oils. Haha.

Edit to the last comment on my hair.
I was going to get extensions.. fun colored, super long ones.
Then I decided against it, because of money, and well my hair is pretty long. But I want it to be full, crazy looking, and long. You know, the kind of hair you only see on pop stars or porn stars ;)
Haha, no I don't want it to look like that forever, just for a little bit.. hmm...
I need to decide by Saturday so that when I'm at my hair place I can speak with someone about getting it done...

No matter how much I complain, no matter how stressed I seem and feel, whenever I get absolutely so busy at work that I can't think and have things piling up, I feel the best. I feel smart, like I'm actually accomplishing things. The same goes for life, whenever you get over huge problems, is when you realize how much you've done, and that's when you truely grow.
Haha. I find meaning in the silliest things sometimes.
I finished reading Pandora today. Love love love! Honestly, Anne Rice has way more interesting stories, and it is not close to being my favorite book, but Pandora, oh Pandora. I love that character! The end left me wanting much more! I don't think Pandora appears too much in the few books I have left to read of the vampire series, and she hardly appears in the others. I've even began falling even more in love with the character of Marius who was never one of my favorites. I wish that Anne Rice would write a whole series just with Pandora! Even though I think it's great that Anne Rice has decided everything she puts out from now on will be devoted to Christ (and I did love the first book of her new Jesus series) it makes me sad to know that the only book world that has totally stimulated my imagination, has just disappeared. In a few books, all that I will ever know about my favorite characters will be known, and there will be no more books written about them.

I feel like writing. I am forcing myself to take a break at work right now. Super slammed and the sushi I ate at lunch is wanting to come back up. =(
I am so far over my head at work right now, things keep piling up and it's kind of sink-or-swim. Of course, I've never been the sinking kind. I'm just really stressed.
I'm learning to be grounded, and it's kind of scary. Haha yeah I know, usually people are the other way around. It seems like what I want to do with my life always changes, and I go off on a tangent to do whatever it is at the time. Well, I have been working at my steady-40-hour-a-week-desk-benefits "healthy" job for over a year now. I don't go out all the time, and I feel tired when I'm out too late. I still have that part of me that can't help but be like "NEXT!" But at the same time, I love my love life being so steady, and having that solid rock in Matt. I very well can't just up root him and take him along on my next crazy hair. So I'm learning to love life even when it's predictable. Speaking of hairs, I found a gray one on Matt today at lunch. Heh.
I kind of wish Hurricane Humberto would have hit us! It was coming straight towards up, had it not turned right, it wouldn't have strengthened even more, meaning it would have hit us with enough rain to flood but nothing serious happen (and I would have had the day off from work.) But noooooo. This was a pretty crazy storm. The first storm ever in recorded history to go from not even a tropical depression to hurricane with winds up to 80 mph in 18 hours. Crazyness.
I'll stop complaining, I'm really not as grumpy as I seem right now. I'm stressed and sick, but I get to go home to Matt and Anya which makes me happy!

I randomly log in every now and then, but not often. I got a comment by "anonymous" that Dj needs to update.. Who are you person? Well, for an update any ways...
I got married on June 16th, 2007 to an amazing man, Mr. Matthew Purifoy. He makes me sooooo happy it's unbelievable. I'm working 40 hours a week doing EDI technology. It's pretty good pay, and great benefits, I could go far here, but I still contemplate doing other things. If you know me, I don't stick to any certain plan in life for too long (other than my marriage of course!) We have a house in League City, we are renting still, but renting a house is way better than renting an apartment! It's pretty big, not huge, but each room is very big, it's old and cool with a big yard and no one else has a house like it. We have a snake (Rocky) that I've had for a little bit, he used to be really cool but he's kind of grumpy now, hopefully soon we can play with him more again. We have a ferret (Puck) who is a crazy little thing, I love his stinky crazy ass. We just got a puppy (Anya) who is a Siberian Husky and aboslutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. I'm not sure what else to write, there is tons going on, but nothing I can think of. Just day to day life. =)

Dj is livejournaling...
haha!
I haven't looked at this thing in quite a while..
Update on the life of Dj.. Well I don't know when the last I put anything in here was and I forgot to look and check so I'll start here..
Moved back from San Diego. Met some people, lost some people, re-found some too. Living in Seabrook, with my wonderful boyfriend. I've spent most of my time either chillin out with friends or working. I have three different jobs since my return, but this one seems to be good.
Life is good all around. I'm almost never by myself. Either surrounded by friends or the boyfriend. Which by the way his name is Matt, and like I said before, he is amazing. I've never been happier with someone, and never felt so loved. =)
And uhm... ? Can't think of much else to say! So if you are one of the few that still LJ it up, Hi! haha

Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to condense everything that I meant
In a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye
Did you get my message, you did not guess
'cuz if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
and we could give it a rest
'stead of beating my breast
making all of the pressure go sky-high
Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah, oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Uh oh, where did it go, must have bypassed past your phone
And flown right outta the window
ooh well, how can I tell?
Shoulda called the operator maybe she know the info
But whether or not my message you got was too much or a lot to reply
Why not try this for a fact
Should you ever come back I’d relax and feel relieved
of all my panic attacks
Ahh hooo oooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you, Did you now
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Did you get my message
Did you get my message, the one that I left
While I was trying to CONDENSE
everything that I meant
Now the moment is passed
Not much time in the 'glass and I’m standing to lose my mind
Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again with a whole new meaning
To the matter of our love's defense,
at least be sympathetic to the time I spent
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you, Did you now
Did you get my message, yeah oooh oooh ooooh hooo
Did you get my message

You ever just want to hear someone's voice on the other end of the line and then you'd know everything's okay?
You wouldn't even have to talk about anything that's bothering you at the time, but just to hear their voice would make you smile.
And you're not really quite sure why. You just know.
It makes perfect sense and it makes no sense at all. Deep down you know, you just don't want to think about it and get confused. You just want to hear their voice. And smile.
The phone keeps ringing, but it's not the right voice on the end of the line.

Hello strangers!
Yeeahhh so I'm in Texas until tomorrow night, been here since last Tuesday. Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I've been purdy busy since I got here, seein family and all. Went to the hookah bar the night I flew in with Heather and Rach and saw Irena there. Then ate lunch with Sam and Carolyn on Wednesday. Thursday = family. Saw Rent with Sam on Friday, hung out with her, caught up with Ted and Bryce at Starbucks, Sarah picked me up and off to Rockin Rodeo. I mean Oceanside cuz noone wanted to stay on Rockin Rodeo with me! Then went with Rach to a party, then back to Rach's. Saw Stephanie at the gas station Saturday morning, went to the other family's, then rockin bowl that night. Which was a flop!! Everyone bailed! Well not everyone. Me and Sam were there the whole time, Houston came with his friend, Ted was there for a while, Heather stopped by, Johnie and Austin showed up for a lil bit, and then Derek came by for a bit. And well, now everyone seems to be back at school. Hopefully I'll get to see Danielle and Tiffany before I go! Anyways, love ya and I'll type later.
XoXo
