And now the moment we've all been waiting for... a sigh of relief.

Ok, it's been a while (again) since I last wrote. I was doing well in the beginning with this blog thing, but lately it just hasn't been on my mind... So, last time I wrote I was stressed... more stressed than I think the entry portrayed... but things are MUCH better now...
Those 3 weeks without Jason were very long, it was really hard being away from him for that long... (it's hard to be away from him at all, for any length of time... yeah I know, bring on the gagging... I like to be mushy.) He came back for Easter weekend, but of course that weekend went waaay too fast, and now I'm back to missing him for another couple of weeks. At least it's only a couple weeks, and then he's back for good! I'm really looking forward to my phone bill not being a reason for my mom to get mad at me...
Our house did sell, everything was final on exactly March 31st. How's that for cutting it close??? It was actually a really amazing week... Mom became a Christian (which was incredibly amazing, I never thought it would happen... how's that for lack of faith? ... I've learned better.) and then a few days later our house sold. It was quite the miracle actually... I'm still amazed at it. So now we have to pack up and we move to our new place on June 1st. I'm really excited to design my new room, even though I won't be there for very long. :)
Easter weekend was fun, Jason came home from Victoria on Friday. He came by airplane!! It flew right from Victoria straight to Pitt Meadows! It only took him a half an hour, which was great! I got to see him in the morning, and we went biking in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday were crazy, with the church services. Everything went really well, but I'm really glad that stress is over. Sunday night Jason's entire family came over for dinner! Mom cooked turkey, and it was spectacular... I didn't know we could fit so many people around the table. Monday was mine and Jason's anniversary... We didn't really end up doing anything we'd planned, but it was hard to plan much, being Easter and all... it was just nice to have him with me, especially after those 3 weeks.
And then we come to today, with some more good news, and some more relief. I finally, after much searching, got a job. I was phoned at 9am, had the interview at 11:30, and was offered the job just before noon. It was a good morning!! I start on Monday, and I have the same shifts as my best friend Erin! I will work for 4 days (12 hour shifts) and then I have 4 days off! It's just a temp position, and it pays more than any other place would, knowing that I'll be going back to school. I'm probably still going to look for a little part time job for some extra cash, to work on my days off. Just a few hours here and there for a bit of spending money.
So anyways, that's more or less what's been happening, and I'll try to be better at updating this... :)
