Almost a month later, and Express Fashions calls to schedule an interview. Eileen, the woman who called to schedule, said I didn't sound real excited to get the interview but I'm very excited. She called at 9:00 at night though--I'm getting ready for bed at 9! I know it's early for some people, but I also get up early, so I'm pretty pooped by 9. I was all settled and comfortable in bed watching 13 Going on 30 when she called. So, maybe I didn't sound as excited as I really was. But it's only because I was tired and half asleep. Anywho, the interview is tomorrow and 6 PM. Pray that it goes well! (My boyfriend has already expressed confidence in my ability to get the job so if I don't get it now I'm going to be twice as bummed. But I think I'm going to get it.)

So job hunting today went ok. Not the best, but none of the hiring managers were there. I'm starting to think they're never there on Saturdays. That kinda holds me back right now since my sister keeps tagging along to go shopping. I'm not there to shop, I'm there to get a job!!! Ugh. The assistant manager from Charlotte Russe seemed to like me though, so that one may work out. I'm supposed to hear from them by Thursday at the latest. Charlotte Russe would be cool, it's one of my favorite stores there in the FL Mall. I have no idea what's going to happen with the other stores, they all took my application and placed it in a pile with a bunch of other applications; not really what I was expecting but what can I do about it?

I got to talk to Ed last night!! That made me really happy. He reenlisted, but it only adds on an extra two days to his term. I'm not quite sure how that works out, but he also said he got school option so he can go to school next January. Awesome! Wonder what he's going to major in or study? Ed also got a promotion; really proud of him for that. I wish October would get here sooner, I want a hug from Ed!! I miss him so much lately, and time seems to move so slowly; it's still February for crying out loud!! I can't wait until summer starts, there'll be plenty of activities at church to get involved in to keep me busy for sure.

Oh, and my cold is gone. Yay! No more illness for me!

So tomorrow I'm going to job-hunting. I bought a nice outfit last week; I'm gonna wear it tomorrow when I go to the mall in search of a job. I hope I'm not sick again, like I am today, and that I get to talk to Ed cause I miss him and haven't had the chance in awhile. I've also decided that I don't really want to go to SuperWow this year; I'd rather go on the Missions Trip. I don't know where they're going this year or anything, but I plan on finding out. I know Pastor Karl is going to be doing a service on Missions in a few weeks; he actually wanted Esther to come and speak about that but she's going to be, ironically, on a missions trip in Costa Rica that week. Maybe he'll mention where Cornerstone is going for missions this summer? I know they went to Ecuador last summer; don't know if they're going they're again or not. If I don't do the missions, I'm gonna (maybe) apply for the summer internship at Cornerstone.

Eh. I want to breathe!!! I hate having colds/flus. They suck!! I'm gonna go take a nap in a little bit; maybe that will help some. The meds seem to be ineffective and these tissue are starting to hurt my nose. What happened to the ones with lotion?? Those are nice...

Yeah..Satan's having a field trip playing tricks on my mind this week since I haven't heard from Edward in week or two. So pray that I can get some kind of contact, that we're able to talk sometime this week or weekend, and for some peace of mind. I'm really trying to stay strong and trust God right now, but it's getting harder and harder the more time that passes between each conversation with Edward.

[For those unaware: my boyfriend is currently serving overseas, so it's not his fault that he hasn't been able to call or email.]

I didn't grow up going to church, though I was jealous of those I knew who did. My mother took us to a few churches growing up, but we never went on a regular basis, but I wish we would have. I loved every second of Sunday School that I attended as a child, even if it was far and few between. In high school, I began attending a bible study held by my friend, Esther. After a few months, Esther invited me to attend church with her. I did--a year or two later. I wish I'd have accepted the invitation earlier, but what's done is done. I accepted Jesus in April/May of 2006, though I do not remember the exact date. Since accepting Jesus, I have stopped wearing more revealing fashions, such as low-cut tops and short skirts. I have also started attending bible study at church, along with many various church activities like SuperWow 2006.

Yeah. I don't know how I feel *exactly*. On the one hand, I was starting to look forward to the experience. I never knew how much I really wanted to have that experience until these past few weeks. I have to have that experience one day, some day. I can't not have it. I was little disappointed with the outcome, but why? Yes, I wanted the experience, but now no one even has to know. Other than those who already do. Did I want everyone to know? I'm unsure. My guess is they would probably know by the end of the experience anyway. The one who needs to know the update on what's going isn't online, and I haven't heard from him in a few days. I wonder when he'll call, when he'll sign on again so I can break it to him...
