Firsts and Lasts

Ok so I decided to do this after reading Laura and Ashley's blogs.

First Memory: I can't remember much from when I was really young, but I do remember busting my chin open in preschool (I think) and having to get stitches, and then I did it again at Dalraida pool trying to learn how to dive backwards. Not fun.

First Real Kiss: Ummm I think it was a boy from church (and I can't remember his name) when we were on a retreat at Gatlinburg. It's really horrible that I can't remember his name. Oh well.

First Concert: It was probably New Kids on the Block...and we had to leave early because one of them started to take his shirt off during the concert. Mom wasn't too pleased with that so we left.

First Love: probably Todd Gilliland...anyone who went to church with me at that time knows about that one.

First Crush: oh man I dont remember...it changed daily I'm sure.

First Thing you Think of in the Morning: I don't WANNA get up. (and yes, I realize that I sound like a five-year-old when I do that)

First Book you remember loving: Goodnight Moon (nice, Laura!) I think I heard that thousands of times when I was little.

First Question you'd ask in heaven: There isn't just one questions...there are numerous.

First Best Friend: Callie Gentry and Wendy Daniel were my best girl friends, and Andrew Greene was probably best guy friend.

Last Time You Dressed Up: Probably for church. I don't dress up too often besides that.

Last Book You Read: I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (excellent!) and am in the process of reading The First Days of School by Harry Wong (mainly about how to keep things sane during those first crucial days.)

Last CD You Bought: Carrie Underwood.

Last Time You Cried: Last night.

Last Movie You Saw: In the theaters: Ratatouille. At home: Under the Tuscan Sun

Last Time You Told Someone You Love them: Earlier today to Ray and to my parents (I think)

Last Funny thing you did: I don't remember...I don't think I've done anything too amusing in a while.

Last Thing You watched on TV: I have been watching my Season Two DVDs of Grey's Anatomy.

New things happenin'

So I guess that it's time for another update. I really wish I could be more creative with this whole blog thing. I read all kinds of interesting things that other people post and it seems all I ever do is update you all on my life. I will try to improve upon this promptly. Anyway, I am now living in Nashville again (yay!) It's good to be back, although definitely different than the last time I was here. I don't have many friends to hang out with much like I used to. Most have either gotten married or moved away so it's a little lonely at times. Hopefully I will be able to meet more people once we find a church and once I start my new job. Speaking of jobs, I have been working at Olive Garden near my house, which I haven't really liked. I don't really have much in common with the people there, and I have decided to stop working there come the end of next week. I will be starting at Goodlettsville Middle school once the new year starts. I will be teaching Spanish and Geography (although mainly Geography, which I don't know much about!) It should be interesting to say the least. I also interviewed this past week with Belmont University to be an adjunct instructor there teaching a class at night, but don't know yet whether I got the job or not. Hopefully I will hear something within the next week.
Not only have I moved to a new place, started a new job (maybe 2) I have also started the process of premarital counseling. Coincidentally, the man that is working with us (Paul Cates) actually married my parents. Strange, yet I think it's a neat twist. I don't know how many times we will meet, but I am excited to learn more not only about Ray, but about myself and how to cope with our differences. We will also be starting Financial Peace here in the next month. Alot of things going on, not to mention planning a wedding. All of it is a bit overwhelming and quite honestly, stresses me out a little (ok, a LOT). Other than that, I spend most of my time with Ray, hanging out and watching tv. I know, I know. Not super interesting, but it's my life as I know it right now. Hope everyone is happy and well!
