So is anyone still out there that actually reads this? I haven't updated in quite some time so I might have lost anyone out there that might have checked up periodically. Whatever the case, I felt the need to update everyone out there on what has been going on in my life.
First things first--I still hate my job but have learned to accept it and realize that everyday is one day closer to being finished. I survived the first half, so hopefully this semester will go by quickly. I just have to keep looking forward to the next holiday or day off.
Along with the misery that goes/went along with my job, I have been suffering from clincal depression for the past few months, which is what has kept me so quiet. Things have been rough around here, but are finally starting to look better. I don't know what I would have done without Ray's love and support to pull me through, although I'm not quite sure WHY he is still here after being put through hell and back. I know everyone says the first year of marriage is hardest, but if we could get through what we did the past few months and still be ok, I think we'll be ok.
Ray finished his first semester of graduate school at MTSU and although it was tough, he made it through with all A's.
Wedding plans are coming along. The dress and bridesmaid dresses are ordered. The place is set and we have been coming up with design ideas. Invitations have been ordered. The next step is music. No major problems throughout the planning process, which is great.
Ray and I were in Montgomery for several days for Christmas and stayed with my family. We had such a good time. Went bowling, watched movies, did puzzles, played games, etc. Then we headed down to Orlando to visit a good friend of mine from Auburn. We spent New Year's there and we were able to relax and just enjoy ourselves. I did get a digital camera for Christmas but haven't been able to set it up on the computer. I will try to get pictures up at some point. Anyway, I guess that's enough rambling for now. Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and are finding 2008 to be better than 2007 thus far!

Hi Haley - I hate that you've had such a rough time of it lately. Life is stressful enough without planning a wedding and having a job you don't like. I hope that this year will find you feeling much better. Depression bites - I know it. Lean on Ray, he can handle it, and I'm sure he loves you very much!
I haven't skipped out on your blog purposefully - I've just gotten behind on everyone's! I will keep you in my prayers. I know it's tough working somewhere you don't want to (I'm doing the same right now!) but trust in God & he'll get you through it. It says a lot of your character that you have stayed committed to your job!
I'm sorry you've been going through a tough time; I understand how that feels. Hopefully meds will help. And once your life is settled down (although, when does it ever?), things will be calmer and more peaceful. Love you girl!
Sorry things have been so yucky for you lately. I will definitely look forward to hearing about a NEW job in the summer :-) Glad to hear that wedding planning is going smoothly. And, if it helps, the engagement period was almost certainly more stressful for us than the first year of marriage. We LOVED (still do!) being married.
