aw, here it goes!

Why did I start this blog? I have no idea.

I guess so I can publish my thoughts. Maybe someone will even read them. :)

Well, to start out, I should tell you about myself. I am 19 and enrolled in community college. I am trying to be accepted into the nursing program at my school, but with my average grades that may take longer than I want. I lost alot of friends after highschool graduation, and it's not so easy to find ones at a nontraditional college. I still go to the church I grew up in, I love it, although there isn't much ministry for me. I am the only one there my age, because I didn't do the traditional move away for school. I starting working for my grandpa at his restaurant when I was 13. He retired and closed it nearly 2 years ago, and I've been working at Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy since. (a job not easy to be proud of). I have a wonderful boyfriend, we have been together for a little over 2 years. He is leaving for Marine boot camp on October 14, 2008. (that's another story) He, along with my best friend, and 2 other friends, are the only people in my life I feel truly care about me. I still live at home, and I do love my family, don't get me wrong, they look out for me, but we just don't have the closest relationship. I'm still trying to figure things out- which just scares me most of the time, but I am a loving and happy person regardless.
