YAY!

I finally reset the pass word on this sucker!!! I now have it in a safe place and will blog more!!!!!!!

CBC

Flippin hilarious-to qoute Travis-I have to fill out a criminalk background check now, for admissions....hahaha, Gangsta' Beth!

Another few days........maybe I will know by early next week. Until then, I am busy studying for my Genetics exam-I got an A on my big paper-which was good, but depressing as all get out to write.

Chad has tickets to the Canes game, if they play Sunday-which should be fun-he also has four or so gigs upcoming-I know he is excited to be busy!

Had a GREAT time with the cousins this weekend at Topsail-will post pics real soon! I still have my Jim Carrey-esque coffeemaker waiting for my beach house one day:)

Beach bound

Not much to say......my application is "under review" right now...so I am very antsy about that. Headed to Topsail tomorrow, for a long weekend with all of Chad's cousins-should be a great time!

Just spent my first Easter not working in Wilson, going to church and watching as the cousins cheered on Graham's hula hooping style and putting on a grand Easter egg hunt, which even included a story:)

NCAA Championship

So, in honor of the Heels' vistory, I thought I would post a picture that I thought was cool...Hanborough smiling.....I think it's cool because for once (and I don't mean this ugly or funny, but) his eyes aren't "wide open".

Congrats to the Heels. But I have one question for the fans.......why is it you guys refer to them as your heels? Or, I guess I should re-phrase that..........why do you say "My heels" when you are referencing the UNC team?

Again, don't mean that ugly either-it's a serious question. I ask because I have never heard anyone utter the phrases "My pack" or "my blue devils" or "my deacons" or "my (fill in the blank)". I don't want a smart-a** answer such as "Because you never win". Teams win and lose all the time, throughout the year-and UNC is the only fanbase I know where the fans use a possessive noun to refer to the them. Just sayin'....I am just curious.

It's been a long strange trip

OKay, not really, but it has been since forever since I posted. So tonight, I click on my own link from my FB profile (I know, so lame right?) and there is a comment on my last post. Well, it was Brian...and hence the "No post since 2008? C'mon!" added to the fact that his blog is the greatest, well.....I feel I must oblige him and at least say hello!:)

So.........in nutshelll.......

the letter came back with a "yes, we will drop your bad grades from NC State" and get this-I even got a refund! From TEN YEARS AGO! How is that for an answered prayer!

Also, ran into a friend...tell her my latest school saga....tell her what I will major in at State (if I get in) and she says she has a job for me!

Chop's closes 1/4/2009. I have an interview that Friday, and BAM-I have a new job with a local Engineering firm. I work with the Funding Assistant putting grants together for municipalities, on behalf of the towns/cities/counties that need assistance.

2009 seems to be the year.......I got a new job, we are DEBT free and saving up! Yahoo!

Then..........Chad gets furloughed at work-down to four days! But, we will not let this get us down! He quit smoking 3/1.....and on that same day, we both began exercising-EVERYDAY! And I set a new rule-since he quit, I denied myself ANY food (not even a slivered almond) after supper. So far, I have not lost weight (he hasn't either) but I have lost in the waist size, and that is what matters!! I am even sleeping better! It feels GREAT!

So........that is my story, and I am sticking to it! I applied to State a few weeks ago, transcripts are in.....there is nothing else to do. My one online class is going well, and I am beginning to take classes towards the Non-Profit Management Certification through Duke.

And yes, I still dream that one day I will own beach property-whatever keeps me going right?:)

Letter

Prayed about it...mailed it off...now we wait...

The Letter

Is finally finished. Praying for the right outcome...
