Great Days Ahead!

Great!
I have FINALLY got myself registered so that I may get my RN, when that is done then I am off to get my BSN. I have a wonderful job waiting for me when I'm finished and I am so ready to do this! It's tough, but it has to be done and if you have dreams you have a chance to make them a reality! Down here we're having very troubled economic issues, I watched the News the other day and the politicians in Memphis are actually considering a government shutu down if they don't find an answer with the budgets. Yes, Tennessee is broke and it is getting even broker with them giving the people in higher power better raises and not drug testing everyone of welfare and food stamps. Kentucky has started doing that and their budget problems are getting resolved!
Yes, you watch Memphis Beat and Memphis seems like a glamourous place to be. Though that may be, but looks are decieving. The budget problem is so bad that they had to film Memphis Beat in New Orleans because Memphis was asking WAY too high of a filming charge, if it's expensive for TNT then you know we must be in some trouble. It disturbs me because I hope things are stable when I get down there and starting my life in the city. I may not like working in the city, but it's what I have to do. This job I will have will be worth it, but I'm not saying I'm going to live in the city. No no no! I plan on living a little bit out of city limits, still near civilization but considered the country. My heart belongs here and though my husband wants to move to Kentucky... I just don't know what to say about that.

Which we can't do a whole lot because he's planning on having a job on the rail roads down in Memphis, so we can't go a lot of a places at this point. Considering we will both have wonderful jobs in Memphis, huh. Guess not! :) I can't deal with not living in my fellow confederate states, but Tennessee worries me. Though I spent most of my life here, I can't believe where it's going. Mike has no problem with leaving, but I find it a problem because this is all I know. He can't expect me to just adapt to it willy nilly, not going to happen. Though I'm not %100 sure I want to continue living on this side of Tennessee, I think I just might live in Desoto County, Mississippi. My sister's boyfriend told us how it is down there and that they are considering living there themselves. That would be great not only to work with my sister in the same enviorment, but still live by her too!
I have a good relationship with my sister and she's the only sister I have that lives close by. Also, I grew up with her... She raised me when my mother did not. My mother worked and took care of my elderly grandparents as they were growing weak to their age. I have a great connection with her, even though we fight like cats and dogs sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love my sister in California... But I could never live there. I do plan on visiting her every chance that I get, but impossible to live there. Too fast for me! :-)
What I want to do is just go there and visit my relatives and just start talking to them. I think they would get a kick out of my lifestyle and accent, glad I can be a humor target. Why I say this? Because if they are anything like me... Then i have something coming! lol! I have been talking to my cousins that are in the military and they just get a huge kick out of my voice, hard to talk to them sometimes. :-P I'd like to come up there and throw them some true living their way. :-)
Anyways, I'm blogging late at night because I haven't updated my blog like I was supposed to. I have pictures of how much Crawfish we caught Monday, ridiculous! Believe it or not I actually caught some of these with a piece of bacon! :-D I tied fishing string to a bamboo stick and tied it to a piece of bacon. I would hold them over the Crawfish we saw in the ditches, the woods, their holes in the woods and fields, and under the bridges! FUN! Casting a net is okay, but fishing with bacon made it funner! lol! Something to consider to try if you want an easy meal! Makes great with just eatting and making Jumbalya and Gumbo! FIRE! :-D Oh yeah, big New Orleans trip August 11th! Can't wait y'all~! Those who are following, have a blessed day and I hope you're enjoying my thoughts and expiriences! 

At Last!!

   Last night we had the pleasuable opportunity to catch some big crawfish! It was great! There was so many that we couldn't even keep up with them to put in the cooler! I loved it! I would have put pictures up of them but the tank water is dirty. I have to clean it out before the new load comes in. I was actually told by my husband that someone has a lead on where we can catch to two to three inch crawfish! He's out checking out the honey hole with our friend, Wheeler and the neighbor. I, on the other hand, have to go in to town today... A friend of mine's funeral is today and I have been missing his viewings all weekend. I didn't knwo where it was located at and what time it was, so I missed them. I know the time of the funeral though.
    It's sad because we all loved Curtis, he was a jerk every now and then, but he was special to all of us. We "Creek Kids" stick together and we lost one of them Thursday night. Well, last night I was able to harvest a whole bunch of squash, squash grow excellent up here, and some broccoli. I saw my banana peppers growing really rapidly, I still have yet to see my tomatos grow, the plants are growing nice... I'm just waiting on the tomatos to actually grow.
   Anyways, when I get home my hubby gunna have some fish fried up... He's really good with cooking fish. Don't get me wrong, I can cook some fish like it ain't nothing... But my hubby can spice it up like no other! Can't wait to-maybe- actually spend some time with him today. He has been spending most of his days off with our friends, which I haven't really gotten around them because they have a newborn and my heart is still broken. Maybe one day I'll get over myself, which I have to soon if I'm going to be working at a childrens hospital. Well... All I can do is hope that I heal from this.

Summer Peaks

   Ahhh, Summer in the South! Humid! No, we don't like it, but it has it's advantages. It's something that has to be adapted to, as for living in the South, it's as if you're swimming as you're walking. I tried to lay out the other day, but I was drecnhed! I would try to open my eyes and it was like I was opening my eyes underwater. Hopefully I can start trying to even out my tan soon... It's already hitting over 100 degrees.
   Well, hopefully I can start harvesting the rest of my vegies soon! I justs aw my squash and they are growing maverlously! My banana peppers are just starting to sprout and as for my bell peppers... Well, hopefully they'll come along. Oh! My cucumbers, gorgeus! My cantalope is coming along and so is the watermelon, which I'm surprised. Why? Well, the unpredictable weather should have killed them off... But no! They are going strong! The lettuce and the onions are doing great aswell, can't wait! BTW, DON'T GET THE TOPSY TURVY! THAT SHIT DON'T WORK!
   We're running a trout line this Monday, got a good lead on where some huge catfish are biting like crazy! Unfortunely the person who told me was a dear friend of mine for years and he passed away, R.I.P Curtis Sherrod! You will be missed! We saw him when we were at the Creek trying to throw the cast net out, he was on his four wheeler and he told us where we can get some good ones. Well, we got some great crawfish! They're bigger now! :))
   While I'm thinking about it, they economy sucks where I'm at... My county has the worst unemployment in West Tennessee! They want to charge the businesses %40 of their profit right on the spot, even before they make any money! It's ridiculous! This town sucks anyway, so that's why my husband and I are leaving the first chance we get! I have to get my RN first and then we will be able to move to Memphis... It's not as great as most people think, Memphis sucks. Mike wants to live on the out skirts of Memphis, hopefully we can. Why do we want to move to Memphis if it's so bad? I ahve to go to Nursing School there to get my BSN. I'm way better off if I get my BSN, people will hire me quciker. Plus, my sister works at LeBohnuer Childrens Medical Center, my son got her the job there. Our family is very famous there because he had a severe case of HLHS... He got me a job there too when I'm ready! I would really rather have him... But beggers can't be choosers, God had another plan for him. He's making sure that I take care of his brothers and sisters when the time comes for us to have another. Wish us luck! :))
