T minus 6 days!!! Woot woot!!! I hope the weather rocks while I'm down there.
I want to know what the hell is up with thoughts... Seriously I've tried a kajillion times to upload pictures and it wont let me. It will act like it's going to then the picture never comes up. I've tried it with different computers, different cameras and still, same outcome. I can up load to other web sites, just not here. I dunno......I get tired of not having a picture up.
So can I gush for a little while?!? Very few awesome things ever happen to me and when they do I just want to get on a mountain and shout them....
So Friday I took Princess to a drive-in movie....Her first time. She didn't even know what to expect. The plan was to meet the security guard up there and us hang out with him and his son. A step in the right direction cause for a few weeks now, we've been doing nothing but talking on the phone and seeing each other at work. I'm not a phone talker, actually I pretty much despise it but I've been struggling through. He never asked me out and I was getting pretty bummed.
Anyways, we met up about an hour and a half before it was dark enough for the movie to start. Princess and his son got along. He's 12 and was very patient with her. She can get pretty rambunctious at times. Security guard and I just chit-chatted for an hour and a half. It was nice. Princess fell alseep in his car and he carried her back to my car for me. Thank God cause I wouldn't have been able to do it, and I was dreading trying to wake her up and getting her to walk.
That being said, on to good thing #2
I had totaled up all my medical bills and the grand total was $26,000 and some odd change. My first thought when I saw that number?!? I'm never going to get back out of my parents house......EVER. I had been talking to a friend at work who works in billing. Telling her all about everything. Well she had talked to someone else about it. They ended up mailing me a form to fill out with my income and bills and all that jazz. She told me that there wasn't alot that they could do for the bills that had gone into collections but, they could write off the ones that were current.
Friday I see her again and she pulls me aside. Apparently the other girl who got the letter back opened it and when she saw $26,000 & some odd change she said something along the lines of "holy shit!!!!". This wonderful wonderful person then went back to 2002 pulled all my accounts out of collections and wrote them off, then she called a radiology company and they are doing the same thing...... to the tune of about $15,000...GONE. Okay what?!? I don't think you have any idea the amount of tension that came off my shoulders at that very moment....
Good thing #3...that's right...it keeps getting better.....
I checked my account online and randomly, after 7 months of nothing....I get $200 in child support. Now he only owes $5800, but you know?!? That's $200 extra that I haven't had in what seems like an eternity.
Then on Saturday my mom tells me that my dad asked her how he would try out for the band at church. My dad, who, in my life, I have seen enter a church only a handful of times, My baptism, Christmas eve with my Grandmother, Princess' baptism, and Princess' performance, wants to try out for the band at the church that I so dearly love. I cried. I've prayed for my dad for long, that God would open his eyes.
Now I've been tithing every month without fail. Even when I knew that, by the time pay day came back around I could really use that $70 or so, but the bible says that God can do more with that 10% than I can do with 90%. Months have gone by and I've felt no relief. Then all of the sudden...over half my debt is gone and I got $200 extra to put towards the bills that I had left. For those of you who are skiddish about tithing, or question God's capabilities, please listen to me when I tell you.......It's for real. It's more real than anything else you could possibly imagine.
