diamonds in the alley

ok so I have not been on in a long time... I have been tired from work. I should start counting down the days until I don't have to work anymore! I have a long weekend :) I get Sat - Sun - Mon - and Tue off!!! I am excited about that. We are not doing anything special, so I think I will do some digging in the garage for some of my crafting things. I have really been into making things lately. Scrapping some photos, I FINALLY put together my wedding album (but its not done because my mom just sent me almost 200 photos that she had at her house!), and making my own greeting cards. I LOVE the ones from costco normally, but this last batch was a little more on the lame side. Plus making my own is way more personal. And its a labor of love :) Now if I could only MAKE everyone that I have written to write me back *grins* I love to write to my friends and send them things, and I get lonely, so you have no idea how much it makes my day/week to get a letter from someone. Well, I think Jake knows ;) Who by the way has been doing GREAT in school, not so great at keeping up with the dishes. Which means that we have eaten out more than I would like to. Eating out prevents me from getting other things, like more craft things, or new shoes, or new pants (I only have one pair of pants, and NO shorts!!!), or going to the movies together, or going ice skating, ok you get the picture. We only have a limited amount of money because of my making only a little more than HALF of what I was making before. Plus I am working about 20 hours less per week. I like working less, but the pay cut is a bummer. When I was working my last job, we really blew our money. We should've saved it! Because now we have all these trips and moving and such that we are not too sure how we are going to swing... We always seem to find a way. My fish tank is doing well. We are not sure how we are going to move back up North with it yet. But we are going to ask around at the fish store how to go about that. And if maybe the best thing to do would be to return Bernie to the fish store for someone else to buy, and just get a new fish once we have moved into our new place. I would rather return Bernie than try and take him on the trip and arrive with a dead fish, that would break my heart. When I go to look into the fish tank and look around, he swims over to where I am. And if I move over to the other side, he follows me. I think its so sweet. So I would like to keep him, I just don't want to kill him. I cannot wait for us to move. I am SO excited. As soon as I can I want to visit my best friend Heaven :) And I want to see all my siblings again. Especially the little ones who call me all the time asking when I am going to visit again. I am excited to be closer to them so that we can see each other more often. I am also looking forward to going back to school. And not working!!! hehehe... One of Jakes brothers, might be coming over from June 15 - the day we move by June 30. I am happy about that because Jake has to work some during that time and I have to work during that time as well. So getting everything packed up and ready to go would be tricky without some help. Plus I just LOVE having someone visiting and staying in my house. Well I need to go get ready for work!
