"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller from the movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off
As the year 2008 comes to end, I thought that I would write on here what has happened to me this past year.
January: ??? Start of the year 2008, wow nothing really happened. Booorrrriiinnnggg!!!
Febuary: We decided that it would be best if we moved back to Ithaca and live with his Mom for a while until we got jobs and save up for an apartment.
March: We moved back to New York and in matter of weeks, I got my old job back at Wal-Mart.
I thought it was a good thing that I got my old job back, but the people that I used to work with weren't there anymore except for the Pharmacy Manager. The Pharmacy Manager transfered and moved to Greer, SC in September and from then on, things were finally looking up for me at this Wal-Mart.
April: ??? Nothing too spectacular happened this month.
May: We moved out of his Mom's house and got our own apartment here in Ithaca. We met our new neighbors and so far we were really liking our new apartment. My niece, Godiva was born on the 20th in Nigeria making the first grand-daughter in my family.
June: I turned 29 making it the last year that I am in my 20s. The funny thing is, is that I don't even feel older I just feel wiser...hahaha
July: we moved away from Ithaca, New York to Worth, Illinois. It was an interesting move because not only were we away from his parents, but we were closer to mine and not to mention the fact that we grew closer to his cousin and wife, and his aunt and uncle. The funny thing about moving to Illinois, is even though I was closer to my friends, not one of them came up to visit me.
August: We were finally settled in Worth and I was working in Bridgeview at Wal-Mart. Getting used to working at Bridgeview was interesting because since Bridgeview is near Chicago, most of the people that worked there were from there and not to mention that this Wal-Mart was predominately black.
September: I quit Wal-Mart to work for Walgreens.
Quitting Wal-Mart and working for Walgreens...hmmm...what can I say about that? It was quite and experience working for Walgreens and if I could do it over again, I would but not in Worth, Illinois. The people were rude and the Pharmacy Manager wasn't too nice to me and boy did it show. I wish that I never did quit Wal-Mart because even though I wasn't getting my hours, it ended up that they (meaning the new Pharmacy Manager at Wal-Mart and the other Pharmacist) were going to give me more hours and plus I wouldn't be back here in Ithaca.
October: James and I decided that we wanted to start trying for children!!!
November: History in the making: the First African-American was elected President! Go Obama!!
December: The end of the year draws near and as a personal Christmas gift to myself, the person who stole my identity was finally caught and will be prosecuted January 14th. I am so happy and blessed that this has happened!
Well, I guess this wraps it up for the Year in Review! I hope everyone had a good 2008 and may your 2009 be great! Have a good week and God Bless!
