well...today is my last official day at the shelter. however, i have volunteered to do thursday nights, 10pm-6am. at least for a while. we will see how it goes. and i'm going to volunteer over the holidays and do computer work for them. monday i start my new job with children's division. that's exciting...and a little unnerving. got to meet new people and learn a new job. that's not always easy.

i am soooooo excited about this weekend! i am meeting my friends from ky in gatlinburg! we always have a good time together. i hope this becomes an annual event.

man...20 days till christmas...and all i have bought is one present! but, i hope to take care of that this weekend. can't believe another year is come and gone! the four years in high school felt like an eternity! then after that...well, it's like you wake up one morning and it's your birthday...then you wake up the next morning and it's christmas. wow...what just happened!
