hey<\/p>\n
so a lot has went on in the past week and few days. I have been pretty busy with things.<\/p>\n
After I posted that huge blog on JJ not being around, having my doubts – he came through. In fact after everything that I said.. he made plans for that Sunday (the 24th). I gave him the jersey in a box that was wrapped in a shirt I have been meaning to give him. I put it in his car and he didn’t notice anything (because it was night). After he arrived home he texted me and thanked me for the gift. I could tell he really liked it.<\/p>\n
That same night we sat inside a McDonald’s and I laid out my things I thought might be a problem for him. He reassured me on everything. The weather- he loves. Rain? He can handle. His friends? He wants new friends – apparently he has discovered that many of his “friends” really weren’t friends at all.<\/p>\n
He has told me that him finding a job won’t be an issue. He can handle having a job he doesn’t like in a area he loves rather than a job that is OK in an area he hates.<\/p>\n
The apartment? Utilities? He wants everything to be in our name. Not just me, but him and myself. His social and mine. That too was a relief. I let him see an apartment I was looking at and he liked it. We contacted the office (my mom did) and got things set up for an application.<\/p>\n
The application hit a snag. JJ has a littering charge on his record- the apartment office wanted more information on it. He had to go to the courts and get a detailed report. Now that he turned it in – they let us know we have been approved. We are signing a 1 year lease that starts on May 18th 2009.<\/p>\n
Things finally start to seem to be coming around. I am starting to feel like things are set in place. I will have enough money for at least 6 months before I have to have a job. I plan on getting one within a week or two that I am in the area.<\/p>\n
I am letting very few people know about any of these events. Brandy has stopped talking to my recently.. and I feel … neutral about it. JJ has already quit his job and is ready to move when I am. My last day will be May 15th – and if you can believe it – he will have more money saved than me. Money! Ah yes, the final topic.<\/p>\n
I want to live simply. I don’t want my life to revolve about how much I make or in keeping up with the Jones’ – it is rather enjoying. I would rather be loving life and living for God. Anyone who knows me.. knows that I want to make an impact on the homeless community in Portland. Living a simple life should help.<\/p>\n
As for my soon to be roommate.. as much as JJ doesn’t have a profound faith – he wants to live a simple life- not all about money. He doesn’t like becoming all about what he can get, but rather lives he can touch in the process.<\/p>\n
That is all I have to say about it for now.<\/p>\n
This weekend was good. I had the opportunity to hang out with Hilary… she wasn’t sure she should be hanging out with me (as I will soon be moving) but she did anyway. We had fun even if we didn’t do much.<\/p>\n
Otherwise I watched the Blazers win their third game straight by twenty or more. The first time since 1992- Rip City!<\/p>\n
Lots of birthday’s this month. Rebecca (8th), Stacy (17th), Hilary (19th), Deniece (23rd) just to name a few.<\/p>\n
just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
