First off go to this link. http://www.livejournal.com/community/dark_christian/88774.html#cutid1 bushianity vs Christianity.
Love how the writer expressed the difference...One of the things i hate is being associated with the judgmental christians. Im not that way, nor is my husband...but you can find out more of our beliefs at our website.

next...I keep waking up around three am every day. Im so glad im not going to school right now, or dont have a job either. I get up, stay up for an hour or so, and then go back to bed and sleep in till ten or eleven. it really sucks.


go look at this post as well http://www.livejournal.com/community/supersizedbbws/152881.html the writer talks about how she doesnt feel beautiful because of her size, and how her significant other is breaking down those feelings, and making her feel better about herself. Jason especially should read this one.


lastly...jason lost his job, again. you can read more about it at his journal. http://www.livejournal.com/users/jasonhackwith/27401.html?mode=reply



oh ya, this is funny http://www.grayace.com/dex/bunny.html

I cant believe i forgot to post about this...

I withdrew from school :( Since Jason is working again, and we are making more money, I loose my pell grant. I still have a few months left of it, but the way the school works I would have to go another five months before quitting, otherwise I would owe the school a ton of money and not be able to get more financial aid untill that was paid off. anyway...Ill go back when he gets a better job and we can afford it :)

im so tired... Last time i went to see the doctor he said I was anemic, well im trying my hardest to get my iron back up without going out and buying iron pills (blech!), but i dont know if its working or not. IM taking prenatal vitamins which have a ton of good stuff in them, but maybe not enough to make me feel better. I went to bed last night at 7:30, I woke up at 4am, cause i had heartburn, which was my fault because I didnt take my pills last night :(

Yesterday I went to one of the Chiropractors in town, to get a rate quote, and found out its only about $65 for the first visit, and $35 for every visit thereafter...So I made an appointment for the first of the month! Ive needed to go for about 2 years now, Ill be in a lot less pain when i get done. I may be able to stand more at school when i get cracked too. :)

Anyway...enough complaining.

School is not as tedious as before. I still have to do fingerwaves, but I have to do other things too. Im supposed to do at least one of each skill daily that we've learned so far. (Ive not been doing that tho.). We've learned how to do braids, fingerwaves, shampoo-sets, perms, and weaves. We havent learned how to use chemicals yet, so when we do perms and weaves, we dont put any solution on the perm, and we use gel to show where we would put the color on a weave. I've got perms down to an hour, which is really good considering Ive only done about 5 so far. When we take our exam we have an hour and a half to finish it, so Im set.


Jason still hasnt found a job yet, but we are getting unemployment. Our rent is almost caught up, we still owe $450 for this month. We get $190 a week, plus my financial aid which is about $600 a month, So we are getting just about the same income as we had when Jason was working. I get $1200 in November, so we can do some Christmas shopping and pay a few more bills.

I think we are going to Green Bluff this weekend to pick apples, but Im not sure. If we do I get to stop by Doctored Locks in Spokane (http://www.drlocks.net/salon.htm) and pick out the hair im gonna get. Im getting Latch-hook extensions near the end of November.

Im soooo glad its Friday. This week seemed to drag on and on. It was a good week tho. We learned how to do perms, and weaves. My hands hurt from doing so many perms, but they'll get stronger soon. I thought I would get a poor grade for this week, because I missed all the stuf last week when I was sick, but I found out today that I got 100% for all my work, I did extra credit, and that helped a lot. I also got a 100%, and a 98% on my two tests today. I found out how much financial aid Im getting as well. Its a pretty good amount, and Ill be getting twice as much in November for Christmas. MY back is feeling somewhat better too, Im getting stronger in my shoulders and sides from having my arms in the air all day.

Yesterday we had our second 40 days of purpose meeting. They are going so well, and jasonhackwith and I are learning so much. Im also reading a book called Gods smuggler by Brother Andrew. Its a fantastic book that I reccomend to everyone. Its so encouraging, especially in our situation.

God is providing for us in so many ways. We dont have any extras at the moment, but all our needs are taken care of, and we are comfortable. We are not nearly as stressed as we were when jasonhackwith was working.

If any of you read my Husbands journal you know by now that he lost his job yesterday. I am not employed so that leaves us in a bind. He went and applied for unemployment today, and we should get the first check in about 3 weeks which should total about $650. Now all we gotta do is convince the electric company and the cable company to wait untill the check comes....
I start school on Monday, and I still need to get some shoes. I feel so bad, I have a ton of shoes, but no all black ones that I can wear and stand up in all day, and Jason has needed shoes for quite some time now. I think for now Im gonna buy some cheapie $5 shoes at wal-hell and when i get my first loan check buy both of us a pair of good shoes.


Vacation went very well, we had a great time, and discoverd some new places. We drove a little ways up the Washington Penninsula, and we definitly want to go back again.

So I have a ton of pics from our vacation, I pared it down to about 35 that I will share with you guys. Most of the pics are around 400x335 pixels. so If you have dial-up or whatever dont click on the cut. If you really wanna see the pics beg and i will let you have the password for my photobucket account.
