Well, it has been awhile since my last update and things have been going pretty well. It's nice to sit back every once in awhile and have a long reflection. I've been thinking about how I've grown over the past 6 months. I've grown a lot. When Rise' and I got married, I was ready for it, but I had a lot and I mean  A LOT of changing to do that I really didnt realize, but that's fine, better now than never, right?  Like, job wise...I got my first job finally at Napolis....that was a complete joke. Now before I go into the whole job story, let me explain something. My wife is a type 1 diabteic,  the worst. Her body only accepts one type of insulin, she's allergic to the rest. She's also on the diabetic pump. A great thing to have but the monthly supplies are outragious. Example. She has to order two different things just for the pump. They both come out to about 300 dollars. Then she needs atleast 3 bottles of insulin for the month. One bottle of insulin cost about 80 bucks for her, so you do the math. The you got your test strips but we have found some relatively cheap ones. Anyway, bottom line is the fact that we needed insurance. Well, I finally got on with the Wal-Mart portrait Studio. Insurance, 8 bucks an hour, what could go wrong, right? Well, the barely gave me 15 hours a week, so I would make just enough to pay for insurance and then get paychecks that would look something like $27.56. I got checks like that all the time. So, then I start thinking "Wow, this totally isn't worth it. I can't put food on the table or anything and Im making 8 bucks an hour, but getting no hours". Well, long story short, I got screwed over. It's called working for 33 hours and and only getting paid 39 dollars flat. I deserved 164 and some change. So, I called, threatened them with court, and by the next wed, I had the check in the mail..not to mention that the portrait studio, technically called PCA was already 300 million dollars in debt and had exchanged stocks with lenders for 240 million therefore only putting them 60 mill in  debt. Well, I quit that and went to the best job around...telemarketing. lol That lasted for a few weeks, but I kept looking. I finally got on with Stever and Barrys and even got insurance there. See, in years past, the people who know me well can tell you this, I have sucked even looking for a job, truth is, I didn't want one. But nowadays I have changed and well, I can't even see how I survived and how I could even have self respect, well, I didnt have self respect. But life has gotten better because I have gotten better. I have a wonderful wife who means more to me than life itself and I have surrounded myself with some wonderful friends. I've had a lot of friends over the years. I don't have those friendships for many reasons anymore. One because I was a jerk, pathetic as could be and most people probably rightfully so hated me. Other friends and I..well, our interests changed and we just grew apart. But, I'm right where I need to be. I'm in a good church, have a good job, and well, in 3 weeks, the wife and I are finally going to take our long awaited honeymoon and go to West Palm Beach, Fla for a little over a week. But to any of you out there whom I've hurt over the years, ticked off, screwed over, I apologize. Over this time of reflection, I have hurt and cried myself over the pain of doing so. I know I owe people out there, I haven't forgot about you, I promise! But you all are in my thoughts and prayers and I'm going to work on updating this thing a little more often. Take Care and God Bless!!!
