Weve gotta stop eating out, and i have to quite wasting money at the dollar tree and target!

Were leaving for Chicago on saturday.. the 3rd, its going to be tons of fun, the trip aka my bus ticket and hotel room are already paid for! which is exciting! Nathaniel bought a small S-10 pick up.. i dont know why... thought id throw that in there...

All i wanted for christmas was to be engaged... but it didnt happen. and problely wont for a while which bums me out! I did get a new pretty ring from Nathaniel though, and lots of other really nice presents from friends and family.

Well i dont really have much else to say, besides my schedule next semester is more crazy than this semester! so who knows when you'll hear from me again!

I finally got a job! I took a drug test today to be a Target Cashier! I like target! hopefully the hours wont kick my butt, but between being a full time student, working 20 + hours a week, and having a solid relationship with Nathaniel, Family and Friends will be tough, money will be tight. Im not gonna lie im a bit worried..but God will steer me in the right direction, on the right path, and he blesses me often so im not afraid!

Carrie's coming down on Friday with her mom to shop finally friends from home! i feel that ive lost most of the others, between differences, and reasons im still not informed of its sorta sad. But its the way its supposed to be! Im taking Carrie's Senior pictures!! When it gets cooler of course!

Nathaniel's Mom is also coming down late friday evening because Nathaniel's cousin Brennan, and her boyfriend Chris are moving to Eudora.. (She's going to be a grad student at KU) While he who just graduated is going to be working in KC.

Other Updates. My Sister Amie whom i love dearly moved to sabetha, had a good job, a house, a car, money, and her live in boyfriend! But due to recent injury surgery, and then major migraines he went back to the hospital to discover he had a brain tumor He went in a couple weeks ago to have it removed, The doctors are pretty sure they got the entire tumor. They had to wait a few days for the results to come back if it was cancerous or not. Come to find out he has the most deadly, and rapidly forming type of brain cancer. They gave him 1 year tops to live They are fighting this battle in Omaha where they lived before, at a cancer center that helps treat his certain type of cancer. He's very positive, and ready to take on chemotherapy , and radiation. And Amie, is just scared <3 i wish i could be there for her.... Keep her in your prayers...

My mother reminded me today via myspace that tomorrow is the 9th Anv. of my sister Kristal's car accident and death She's having a hard time dealing with this day, as she has every year since that horrible day. So also keep her in your prayers.

My Brother Cory Love him, and his 3 adorable kids, whom are the little ones i have pictures of on my site Katey, Kyndra, Kooper. Has recently been having issues at work. As everyone in the area im from knows that Lamar Shoemaker resigned as sheriff of brown county. This leading to the pick of a new temporary Sheriff John Merchant. Whom is the devil to my brother and co-workers, he promises jobs to un-needing un-suitable people, and tells the good workers that he is going to fire them all when he wins the election. He is already spent tons of money on new security systems for the jail (unneeded) And given out new positions to workers... He's been in law enforcement 1 year! YA!!! He was a janitor previously...He doesnt know how to do office paper work, or accident reports.. 8( He's crazy, there's been rumors he was threatening to beat his daughter a couple years back. His campaign is also dirty, and evil. He does not deserve this title.AT ALL! The election was yesterday. The other man running was a well respected officer, who has been in law enforcement for quite a long while, he would be a great pick , he had great plans for the department. The officers and jail keepers got hopeful. My dad helped campaign like crazy, i told people about his strengths as well! But guess who won 1,035 votes versus 860 i believe John FREAKING Merchant! So now im extremely concerned with my brothers well being, and job PRAY!
Someone with little experience and crazy ideas is the top leader and person in charge of Brown County 8(
And this just in Merchant fired Mayfield the the other guy running this morning!

At a celebration BBQ for mayfield (everyone thought he was going to win) Everyone was happy, and glad the day was done, then they found out people were in TEARS over this, so many people's lives are getting ruined because of this. My niece jumped on my mothers lap and said through sobs.. grammy carla i dont want to move, i dont want daddy to lose his job! Its so horrible.

My family is obviously going through hard times.. keep us in your prayers <33

Clarissa

My new journey in life has begun, i have a new address, new surroundings, new friends, new obstacles, new everything to sum it all up. I have lived in lawrence with Nathaniel for about 1 month. And honestly i have never been happier. I thought just being with Nathaniel made me wonderfully joyful, but living with him, falling asleep every night by him, cooking together with him, watching movies, walking mass street, going to clinton lake, hanging with friends, even shopping with him is perfect. Any fighting that had happened while we were apart, has ceased to exist. Life is grand, my birthday is in 2 weeks, i'll finally by 18 =]

Being away from family, has been a tad bit harder than i thought, i miss my dad's dry humor, and fuzzy beard!, my mom's love, and thoughtfulness , and my dog =[ i miss his energy, playfulness, and eagerness to play shake =]
But i cant say as much from the friend aspect. Because i never really saw any of them that often anyways, Carrie yes at church, and we did hang out, but Raven & Christian, i basically just saw them at school and or football or other school events.
So im at a peak in my life where new situations are arising, along with new relationships, and opportunities. So here i go jumping feet first into a dark lake, not knowing whats below the surface...
Ive applied for a TON of jobs,
Goodwill , Target, Hobby Lobby, Borders, Library, Buckle
but have only gotten 2 calls, better than nothing of course. 1 is the library my job title would be library page- aka shelve reader, and putting things away. And its only part time. I would work between 3-5 4 hour shifts a week. Im afraid thats not going to be enough to survive. So a second job is in the looking process. Im working on a application for a store on mass street call creation station, its a funky hippy clothing and jewelry store and it seems really awesome. So thats good =]
Im just thinking that working as much as possible now (before school starts towards the end of august) would be best. Aw yes college. =s
Am i happy ? or excited well i'll get back with you on that one. See considering my credits got all outta wack (thanks hoe bag Ethiopian big bird rodeo clown counselor Ms. Robison) I HATE that woman! anywho, since that was all weird im not able to attend KU in the fall =[
Thats been a huge dream of mine since i was a little girl! Ever since my father started my passion for Mens Basketball there. And now i have to wait, i feel like a failure to myself, my family, and most importantly Nathaniel. He's succeeding like crazy right now, with this "coop" job at the nuclear power plant. I am so inspired by his mathematical talents, yet i'm scared shit less of the next step in my own education. I'm going to Johnson County Community College and at the moment am not excited. i had to take a "placement" test and bombed the grammar part.. =s and didnt do to well on math =s So im having issues with my smartness self esteem.

On a lighter note, i've gotten all kinds of wicked good pictures lately, with all the beautiful surroundings and what not.

Im just gonna keep on keep on =]
Smiling, because im blessed, and happy!

And have the world at my fingertips..
My future. My Everything . Life is waiting .. =]

ps - question for whoever reads this.. should i post some poetry? eh?
