Happy

So things have been going pretty good. Cody has been training all week with his new job position. My job working at Ashley Furniture in Human Resource Department is going great. We spend Mother's day with my mom. This weekend we have a birthday party to go to. My friends son turns 3 years old. We got to go pick up another AC at some point soon. My hours at work will be changing to be normal soon since school is just about over. Not sure if i will be graduating or not this year. Things were tough for a little while and i fell behind. But i am dealing with it. Not much to say right now soon. I will have more to say.

As some of you may know I did have my blog set up to be only viewed by people/e-mail addresses I approve of. I have some friends that didnt have a log on name. So I changed it thinking it was ok and thinking the people I didnt want knowing what was going on in Cody's and my life would finally not look at it. With time gone by I must let you know that I am making it private again. I hate to have to do it but it is what I want. If you want to view it you can message me on facebook to let me know.

Great News

So I have some great news. Cody starts his new job position on Monday. He is now making a little more then me. Not sure what time he goes to work and gets home. I know it wont be like it was. So I am so happy for that. We need the money, well not like we did but it will help to save for my ring, the wedding and the house and kids. We are happy together. We love how things are with us and everything else. Another great news is we will be pretty much out of debt by July. I am so happy for that. We will still have to make payments on two credit cards (not bad at all) and two of Cody's student loans (not bad at all) and one of my hospital bills when i had to get surgery on my nose. But everything is going great. We will be getting cable back soon (which we haven't had for two years i think. But we aren't sure if we want it or not. (well i want it and Cody said he could live with out it some days). The new job of mine is going great. They are making some changes in staff. Got a new HR manager and two other HR people. They are very nice people. I am getting more job responsibility. More for me to do which i dont mind at all. Tomorrow is mothers day and we are going to go to my parents house to spend it with my Mom.

Update

So I have been rather busy and haven't been able to write a blog. So here is an update. Cody did finish his car. He loves the car even more now. He did such a great job. It was a nice bonding time he had with my dad and my Uncle Tim. Cant wait for them to bond again. Very nice and kool seeing my dad and Cody working together. April 17th was my best friends mom's memorial service. Very sad and hard not have her around. Even hard for Kaylisha. That was her last living parent and is taking it hard. But Kaylisha is a strong person and has many people around to be there for her. Cody and I went to the memorial service. After everyone left we had some drinks and spent the night. The next day we were there all day just hanging out. Cody got a new position at his work. Which means more money and better hours and maybe weekends off. We aren't sure yet how everything is going to be. So proud of him. Cody you are one amazing boyfriend, friend, and person. You are my soul mate, my best friend and my Mr. Right. Getting out of debt is going good still. We payed all doctors bills off, all of Cody's hospital bills, most of the credit cards, up-to-date on all bills and paying off my hospital bills for when i had to get surgery on my nose. On April 24th I got my cousin Nathan for a couple of hours, to take him to my friends daughters birthday party. Then I took Nathan to a park that is near where Cody and I live. I also brought him to our apartment for the first time to meet our cats for the first time. He loved the cats and the cats just loved him too. He even loved our lizard. It is very weird only having one lizard. I want to save up and get another one. Hoping the next one will be a female. Then I took Nathan to McDonald's and then home to play and give him a bath. Had a great time with him. He is such a cutie pie. Well here are some pictures to share with you. Hope you enjoy them.

Cody's call all done.
He will make one great mechanic


Nathan such a handsome guy


He was so scare to go through the tunnel at first.
After his cousin Lynda showed him it would not fall to the ground
By the way he almost wanted me to go through it to show him but i just tried to move
it but it wouldnt go any where so he decided it was safe to go through it.


he really enjoyed the tunnel and kept going through them.


He told me he didnt need my help then a couple of seconds later says
he needs my help but lucky i wasnt to far away from him


He didnt think he need help on there either.
To only realize he did.


When he first got on these things.
I showed him that they move up and down.
So he had me help him jump up and down to feel it go up and down
Such a silly boy he is .


He enjoyed himself so very much


This is his new way to smile. He is so silly but I
love him 100% and more.

Hard Work Paying Off Slowly

So Cody had off last Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and this past Monday to work on a project of his. He is changing his car from an automatic to a stick shift car. My Uncle Tim bought a car for Cody to use as parts. My Uncle Tim would help Cody when he needs help and other then that Cody is on his own pretty much. Cody has been enjoying working on his car. Cody still doesn't have his car done but is still working hard to getting it done. Monday he wanted to work on it but with the rain it kinda prevented him from. Cody had asked my Dad for help. So Sunday my dad and Cody were working on it. They needed a special tool to do something with it. My dad had the tool at work so they have to put it off until Cody has off again. I have pictures of everything down below. Friday was my 23rd birthday. I had a great day. I went to school, came home and Cody took me for lunch. We didn't go to any where special but it was our time together which i very much enjoyed. Then i went to my internship. Had a great time there. After that I went to my Aunt Melissa's house for pizza and a few drinks. My sister got me a birthday cake that was shaped like a cow. So when i get the pictures from her camera i will be sharing it with you all. Cody got me a hot chocolate maker and the New Moon movie. Which we went at midnight to get. Saturday I went and got my hair cut and colored (gift from my grandmother). Then at 2:30 went shopping with my mommy until 9:30 at nights while Cody worked on the car. I got a new microwave (since our microwave took a crap only after two years of having it). Tomorrow is my last day at Sam's Club. I am going to miss my friends and some other people but nothing else really. So here are the pictures I said I had to share.

Bad Week End Good

So I am very happy to say that after March 24th, I will no longer be an employee of Wal-Mart Inc. I have put my two week notice. My internship offered me a job and I took it. I will no longer be working weekends. My hours are going to be different. I am so excited. Things are starting to get better for Cody and me. Almost all of our credit cards are paid off. I just paid one of Codys off the other day. Soon we can start looking for a new apartment. Cody is starting to work on his car earlier then he thought he would. With all that happened this week with being stocked and then Cody's brother had to go to the hospital things are getting better. I have wonderful family and ones that are like family that have Cody's and my backs. Soon we can have all credit cards paid off and medical bills paid off. Cody wants to start saving for my ring. I want to start saving for a wedding and for a house. Then we can save up for kids. Cody told me the other day, that nothing will keeps us apart. So we are a package deal. We may not be married but we are a package deal already.

To Jon and Ashley: thank you so much for letting us and keeping us up-to-date with how Jon is doing. Jon we are so happy that you are getting better. We love how close we are to the both of you and those wonderful nephews of ours. We love you all so very much.

So since i will have weekends off. I think in a couple of weekends away, I am going to take my cousin Cecila for a day. Havent seen her in a while. My birthday is on Friday. Cody took off for it and we are going to get our drink on at my aunts house. I was thinking about getting some our friends together and going out on Saturday but not sure yet.

Rough Day Turned Better

Yesterday was so horrible. Had school yesterday but before i went something just didn't seem right so i lock our door (normally i don't because Cody is home but from now on it is going to stay locked). Well at school got this sick feeling in my stomach. Just when i got the sick feeling, i got a text message from Cody. His parents were at the house. He didn't answer the door. An hour later they were back at the door. He didn't answer again and sent me a text. I left school a little early. Got home ate something and another hour later they were at the door again. We didn't answer. Then his parents didn't leave but sat in the car down the street facing our apartment. An half hour goes by. We just cant stay home anymore. So Cody says lets just get in the car and drive away fast. Lets go to the junk yard. So i walked ahead of him and got in the car. He gets to his car. Since by then his parents see him and are yelling up to him that they want to talk to him. He yells go talk to you son Jon first. I don't want to talk to you. We got in the car and took off. Went a long way to the junk yard so we wouldn't be followed (he was going a little fast). We went to the junk yard to hid out at but also to get a part for my car. Didn't find the part so we went somewhere else to hid out at. Not going to say where because I for one know that you, MARTA, have been reading my blogs and some of the comments lately. I have it set up i can see how people get on to my site and then where they go on the site, how long they where on, what time they where on, and how long they were on. Any ways we went to my aunts house. My uncle had had a bad day so him talking to Cody and Cody talking to him helped them both for the most part. Cody made dinner for all of us. We got home late.

Cody should be having an interview either today or tomorrow for the job position at his job. He says if he doesn't get it he will start looking for a new job. He wont quit his job before having a new one. So lets hope he gets the job because he likes where he works just doesn't like the one supervisor and some of the stuff that person pulls.
