So yeah..this is my first blog. I'm new to this but bored at work and decided to write a blog. I was inspired and somewhat copied my friends on this site after checking theirs out and seeing how neato it looked. I'm creating this for me and my boyfriend, Sterling, on our one year anniversary. I don't know how much Sterling will actually contribute to it but we'll see.
We both unofficially live together in mine, or now our, apartment in downtown Chattanooga. It is way too small for the 2 of us and my cat so we will be getting a bigger place in August when my lease runs out. I'd like to stay downtown, or even in the same building but bigger apartment if we can afford it. There aren't too many affordable downtown apts. left in Chattanooga, this town has gone condo crazy, but I love the convenience and the scenery on my runs that downtown, the "north shore", and the museum district provide so I hope we can stay here come August. Sterling has a border collie named Dexter which will be joining us as well when we get a bigger place but my cat doesn't know about that yet. He is such a sweet dog, I can't wait for him to be a part of our little family and I've never had a dog before so it will be fun.
Sterling and I work a lot. I work part time at Memorial Hospital's pharmacy, part time at a restaurant, and I babysit for a family. Sterling is an intern in the IS dept. at Life Care Centers of America in Cleveland, TN and works there 4 days a week. I've been trying to get into Dental Hygiene school at Chatt State for forever now and finished all my pre reqs and have been pretty much just waiting to apply again come March. I actually have to take 1 more class for the hygiene program (starts in less than 2 weeks) that my advisor failed to mention to me until a couple of months ago. Sterling is also going to be at Chatt State next semester taking some gen eds he still needs to complete and then he will be transferring to UTC in the summer or fall if all goes according to plan. He will finish his major in Computer Science that he started on at GA Tech in ATL and possibly double major or minor in something businessey.
Being restless from no school, not wanting to put my life on hold for a year again, and feeling the pains of guilt from never finishing college, I applied to Covenant College's Quest Program (a degree finishing program that meets 1 night a week, 4 hours per night, for 18 months in downtown) and found out today that I got in! So I have further complicated my life but I am at least guaranteed to be in 1 program this year! I am going to move forward with it if my good ole dad will go along with the financial side of it and will start Feb. 5th. I work 2nd shift at the hospital so it will be interesting to try and work around my 2 night classes but I will hopefully be able to move to 1st shift, or find another 1st shift rx job somewheres else because needless to say, I am ready for a change ;)
So our lives are pretty busy with work and school but we find plenty of time to relax. We're pretty big homebodies and enjoy being at home together with Ali (our cat) watching tv and being nerds the most. We also love to go out to eat and to the movies. I don't care how expensive the movies are I will ALWAYS go to the movies in the theater. Sterling doesn't drink very much so needless to say my party girl days are over. That is totally cool with me and still find time to party with my crazy but awesome girlfriends. They always get me way too drunk! Sterling and I also love, love, love Atlanta, GA and we go on weekend getaways there often as well as other getaways as we can afford them. We would like to someday relocate to Atlanta through our jobs but we also love our home here in Chattanooga. I love traveling and hope to some day be able to travel the world. But for now it's just around the south which is ok because there are definitely plenty of beautiful places around here. I like spending time outdoors when the weather is nice too, probably a little more than Sterling does but he goes along with it and enjoys it.
Well that's a good update or whatever on our lives and my lunch break is almost over so I will end it here. Will write back soon!
