So a lot has changed in the last year lol.
I’d say the biggest change was that surprisingly I met and married the love of my life, Cyndel Montgomery. We met on August 15th, 2010, became a couple on September 26th, 2010, and were married on December 18th, 2010. In the span of four months my life completely changed, and to be quite honest, for the better. God came through when I finally let go of past people and things and He brought Cyndel and I together. Marriage isn’t the easiest thing in the world and I knew that before I said “I do”. Money’s been tight and we’ve had our share of arguments, but by the grace of God we’ve overcame any silly fight and end up better afterward lol. We’re in the process of buying our first house so that’s been stressful, however, I believe everything’s gonna work out for the best. I love my wife more than anything in the world and nothing’s gonna change that.
Another change was my job. I worked in housekeeping at Cullman Regional Medical Center since December of 2008 (I’ve been at the hospital since 2006) and in October of last year, an opportunity came open in ER Registration in the Patient Financial department. A lot of prayer and hope came through when I was told I got the job. Not only was it going to pay better than my previous job, but the hours were better for me in the long run. I started on January 4th and have fully loved my time in the ER. I enjoy just about everybody I work with and I believe a job in nursing is in my (hopefully) near future.
I do miss my family and wish I could see them more often. Unfortunately, work and gas prices constrict those chances of seeing them. I love you guys and miss y’all.
Went to Glenville, Georgia in August to meet Cyndel’s family. We stayed with her grandmother and I had a great time there. The town is small and very downhome-feeling. Looking forward to going back one day.
Those of you know me well enough know that I am a diehard pro wrestling fan. The last year of WWE and TNA have made me lose more hope in anybody in charge of either company that wrestling will return to its glory days of actually being entertaining. The fact that storylines that fans actually get into have been letdowns of epic proportions continually have made me more apathetic. UFC is around though, and there are still DVD’s and old VHS tapes I have to watch.
Now, one thing that I do miss about being single is the random hanging out that used to go on at my old apartment with my friends. With the man-cave/barn that is at the house Cyndel and I are buying, maybe I can get back to hanging out late at night again. I do miss my friends and the fact that I don’t hang out with them as much as I used to, but the truth is I needed a break from it.
I’m not going to bury anybody I know with comments about things that have happened in the past. There are some people that I do not hang out with anymore and there are personal reasons for that. I will just say this: some friends are meant to be your best travel buddies and some are just speed bumps on the road of life. Maybe I’ll reconcile with them one day, maybe I won’t. God has a funny way of bringing people into your life and they impact you in ways that you’ll never forget. I enjoyed those times with those people, but that chapter of my life is over and I’m working on writing the next one. I’m sure though that my friends will be included in this chapter and many more. If I have offended anybody with this paragraph, I apologize; however, I needed to get this off my chest as I’ve been holding it in for about a year now.
My cat Blackie that I’ve had since I was 13 got very ill recently and myself and my mom made the choice to have him put down. That cat was about the only friend (excluding family) I had for years and he was like a brother to me. He lived with my parents after I moved into my apartment and I miss him. Our cats, Simon (who looks just like Blackie) and Ben have a lot to live up to, no disrespect to them lol.
I finally have gotten involved with my church and its with the Techno Town children’s ministry. I’m grateful for the chance to help teach these kids God’s word and I hope to continue my missions further on.
That’s all I can think of typing right now. I’m just typing this on my Droid Notepad at 2:15 am and I can’t sleep, even though I have to be at work at 9. Oh well, I’m sure I’m gonna write about more stuff soon. Peace be with you guys, God bless, and be strong. “Nahum 1:7”
