I was sitting here browsing the web on my new laptop I recieved from my generous folks for Christmas, and I realized that I hadn't posted a blog in about four hundred million years. I probably should have read my last blog post so I knew exactly where to start with this one. I'm not sure what I've documented and what I haven't. Basically, all you need to know is that I am doing fantastic and life is great at the moment. I'm currently working for a blind lady (helping clean, take care of pets, run errands, etc.) It's honestly my favorite job I've ever had. It's even better than my job at Disney World, and that one came with free unlimited theme park entrance. I don't know, I've discovered that taking care of people really comes naturally to me. I have a lot of flaws, but one thing I can say about myself is that I have no problem putting others before myself. I like doing for others; it makes me feel amazing. So, that's how I'm currently earning some money. Who knows if I'll get a second job, but I'm not leaving this one anytime soon. I'm also going to school this next semester and it should be my last semester at SCC. Not sure how that'll work out though. I might end up having to take some of the classes during the summer since I have the tendency to overload myself and end up doing terrible in at least one class. I'm not the type that can just make straight As just like that. I have to study SUPER hard. (which, most of the time I don't have the motivation to do that) I've never been a fast learner. It takes a good amount of time for me to get something. It took 5 years for me to really understand algebra, and I still struggle with it. But thats alrright, I realize that and I just find things that I AM really good at and spend my extra time doing that so I don't feel as horrible about sucking at other things. PAINTING! I love to paint. That comes naturally to me even though I don't do it often. The thing that holds me back as an artist, is that I can't just paint. I have to have a perfect idea in my mind of what I want to paint/draw. I can't just sit down and do it, and see what happens. I'm not spontaneous enough for that. Artists, most the time, have to be at least a little spontaneous. That's usually how masterpieces are created. Same with music. I've not created a masterpiece, but painting and drawing does make me happy whenever I have the patience to do it.
Anyway, I feel like I'm just rambling and have absolutely no point. Dillon and I are doing great, as always, and our relationship is stronger now than ever. Our relationship progresses every day, and I'm very grateful for him and his amazing love for me. I'm glad we kind of put the marriage thing on hold for now, because it's giving us time to spend together and love each other before the struggles of life get in the way. The military isn't causing us to hurry anymore, so it's pretty nice to just not worry about a wedding or marriage or anything right now. I know he's the one I'm going to marry, but school is my number one priority at the moment. Let's get that done with first.
This blog originally started out as a cooking blog (because I was inspired by Julie and Julia), but I've not really held to that. I never really complete anything. It's pretty bad. But I will tell you that I've been cooking a whole heck of a lot more and learning a ton of things about cooking from the blind lady I take care of. She has taught me so much already, it's crazy. Dillon supports this hobby 100%, mainly because he gets to eat the stuff I make. Hahaha. Georgia (the woman I work for) taught me how to make boiled pork. Sounds like it'd be gross, but it's actually AMAZING. That stuff was seriously the best meat I'd ever tasted. I'll put the recipe on here once I cook it again for Dillon, but I gotta give Georgia all the credit.
Anyway, that's pretty much all that has been going on with me. Same old, same old. I've come to realize that same old same old isn't such a bad thing. I like stability. I also like traveling, though. Might be going to California again soon to see one of my best friends. Also, might be going to Europe in a few years. I'll keep you posted on that stuff, but for now I'm going to school and loving life!
