Sittin Around

i was just sitting here watching sweet home alabama with my mom when a few things ran through my head. like how i saw lynyrd skynyrd last summer. annnndd for some weird reason, that i haven't written anything on my blog for a long long time.

not that much has changed since i last wrote...then again some things have. i'm still 19, obviously..and i'm still at home. but i'm done with my first year of college and am expecting my grades back by friday.

it's just me and the parents right now. tom's at boys state this entire week, and from the texts he's sent, he seems to be loving it. then next week dad leaves for new mexico, and afterwards mom leaves for missouri.

a week from thursday natalie comes home from poland. but since she's decided to take a teaching job there, she'll only be here for a month until she goes back. i'm still trying to adjust to the fact that she'll be living all the way across the globe, but she seems so happy. i guess she's dating this guy.....mache? machek? majek? i'm totally not sure on the spelling. guess i can figure that out sometime when she's home.

i just started working at bath and body works here in town. i was pretty excited about it, since i refused to go back to jcpenneys and jobs are hard to come by right now. my manager seems pretty cool though, i really think i'm going to like it there.

trent's living up in harrod right now. he has a job with farmers commission there, but i guess they just told him they'll only be able to keep him for a few more weeks, so he's busy trying to apply at other places. weekends are our favorites, since that's when he's home and we get to see each other.

other than all that though..haha.....things are the same. just living life, and loving it as i go.

you know..a lot of people gave me crap about coming back home, moving back with my parents and taking classes close to st. marys. i heard a lot about how i was throwing things away and getting myself stuck in ruts by coming back. but as i sit here, i think about how i'm getting closer to my dad, how i get to spend more time with my mom, how i'm getting to be there for my brother and his last year of high school. and how i get to be with trent. i guess a lot of people don't realize how crazy we are about each other...

anyhow. that's my update. funny how sweet hoem alabama made me think about this blog. i guess maybe it reminded me of myself, and how home sweet home is the best place for me. and how i love to write :)
