Changes

I can’t believe how fast everything has gone since this summer.  I was sitting yesterday, and reading some of my old entries from when Jacob and I first met, and then started hanging out… then started going together… then living together…  and now look at us today.  It is crazy how fast things change.

I never would have thought that I would be where I am today.  My life has taken a 180 degree turn from where I was headed a little over a year ago.  I remember when I “thought” that Billy was the most wonderful thing in the world.  LMAO  Yeah right!!!  Boy was I wrong.  But by me being wrong back then…  it only allows me to appreciate everything that I have now.  I never would have imagined that I would be with Jacob.

He is amazing.  And after reading entries of when I did first meet him… wow… it’s obvious that I had NO idea back then, where I would be six months down the road.  That just goes to show how fast our lives really go by, and how each day really IS a new day.  You NEVER know what might happen.  Only God knows what he has in store for us.

And I truely believe that God is the one that brought Jacob and I together.  He tells me all the time how he actually prayed for me, and then there I was.  He even told me about having dreams about me years ago, but never understood what they were about until now.  So maybe in a way, we may be able to get an idea through dreams and such, what may be in our future, but you never TRUELY know until you live that day.

I am so thankful that I am where I’m at right now.  Looking back on my life a little over a year ago… I was on the fast track to NOWHERE.  I was with literally one of the biggest losers I could possibly have been with, being taken advantage of on a daily basis… being abused constantly.  Yeah I did have a job that I liked, but that job in actuality helped me to get to where I am today.  Things do happen for a reason.  I was with Ben for a reason…  I think that reason was so I would appreciate my life the way that it is now.

I can tell that I am going to do well at my job.  My boss seems to be very impressed with my work so far, and he let’s me know on a daily basis.  I’m going to work extra tomorrow to catch up on some things that came in unexpectedly on Friday.  My boss asked me if I could stay late, but I told him I wouldn’t be able to.  Then he asked if I would be able to work at least one extra day this weekend.  I would have worked both (I’ll be paid $24/hour for any overtime), but Jacob and I had plans already, and I didn’t want to let him down.  I try not to put work before family.

So I’m going to go into work tomorrow instead.  Jacob will probably go with me, unless he works extra with his dad tomorrow.  All I can think of, is how nice it will be to have the extra money before Christmas.  Especially since we are buying his cousin’s old truck in about a week.

We are sitting good as far as our rent and bills go.  So far really have nothing to worry about, and as long as we stay on top of everything and don’t fall behind, we won’t have anything to worry about.

We will be going up to his mom’s house for Thanksgiving.  We both have a four day weekend, so it will be nice to get away.  I absolutely love his mom.  She is so awesome.  In fact she really reminds me a lot of my mom.  Jacob used to say the same thing about my mom too… that she reminded him of his mom.  His Nana reminds me alot of my grandma too.  It’s kinda wierd… the similarities in our families.  To an extent anyway.  He really only has one family member that I can’t stand, and that’s Sandra, his sister that we were staying with.  She just plain stupid.  I’d rather live with Seth and Shawn any day, than stay with her.

Anywho…  Right now we are at his aunt Cindy’s house.  Jacob and his dad are outside working on making a retaining wall, and then they are going to put up a horse corral thing.  His aunt has a bunch of horses. 

She just came in, and is making some breakfast, so I’m gonna finish up here.  I was actually trying to see if maybe I could get some of my work done from here on her computer today, but I wasn’t able to do much.  Oh well…  I’m sure that I will get everything finished tomorrow.
