I think I need some help

I think I failed to mention that I have a total of 4 closets in my house too. These are a couple of pictures of how I have managed to fill them
And another one
And another one
These are all of my shirts, you can see the second row of shirts in the back of the front row.
This is just another view of them
This is the other side of the bed, which shows the clothes that I need to hang up. You can also see some clothes that still have the tags on them, thats kinda sad that I have not been able to wear those clothes yet.
These are all of my skirts and some of my pants. Now keep in mind, that these are the clothes that I didn't already have on hangers, these clothes all came out of bags, and the pictures of the clothes in the closets are the clothes that I just left on the hangers when I was moving.
And this another one of my closets.

Well as you can see from the previous post, that I have been in the middle of moving. Well I thought that I would just try and organize my clothes so that I could acutally see what I all had and to put it in better places so that I could find them easier. Well as I started to unpack, I realize that I could probably wear something new and different everyday for the next year or two. The thing is that I don't just go shopping all the time, I am just a pack rat. I can't seem to give anything away. And when I do go shopping, I don't ever spend or pay full price for clothes. I always shop when there are sales going on. I should take a picture of all the shoes I have too, but I think I need to tackle my clothes situation first and then try and organize my clothes.

Moving

This is the view of my backyard
This is what I look up at when I am laying on my hammock
This is just a couple of the hugh trees that are in my backyard. They have to be over a hundred years old.
This is Dixie. She is much cuter in person
And this is Roxie. For some reason, both of their pictures didn't do them justice as to how cute they really are. Well I will have to dress them up and take some better pictures of them.
This is the view from my kitchen, and this is where I park my car. There is a side door to the kitchen that I am able to come into.
This is my spare bedroom, it is way cool cause it has like 9 windows in it.
This is my pink, yes I said pink, bathroom. It is actually a cool looking pink with gray.
This is my bedroom. And the backdoor to the backyard is in my room too. I like it cause it makes it convient for me to take the dogs outside. And also if someone breaks into the front of the house, then I will hopefully be able to make it out the back of the house.
This is my back deck with my wonderful hammick, which I use all the time now. It is so relaxing cause it is shaded and I am able to just look up at the trees.

This is my side of the house.



My side of the house is on the right side, you can kinda see my white car parked on the side.
This is the front room/dining room.
This is another view of the front room. It has a built in desk and a fire place.
This I think is so awesome, this is the entrance to my ktichen. Though the kitchen is small, these cool doors make up for it.




Well I am sure all of you know that my dear Grandmother passed away about 2 months ago. Well I was living with her and after she passed away, I had to move out. Well I have been living with friends and I have finally found a new place to live. It is a whole new experience for me, since in my 24 years of living, I have never completely lived all by myself. Now don't get me wrong, I have lived on my own and have payed my own way before, but I have always had someone else living with me. And those of you that know me, know that I am the most scary person known to man. I am scared of my own shadow. But I guess I need to grow up someday, so this is the day. Well I found a way cute place that is in a historic part of Montgomery, AL. It is a old house that was made into a duplex. It has 2 rooms and 1 bathroom and hardwood floors throughout. And the best thing about it is that the backyard is just wonderful. I have like 8 hugh oak trees in the back that completely shade the back deck and yard. And I have bamboo trees that are lining the fence line. And in the front yard I have Crape Meridles. My next door neighbor is a little quirky, but she is a good neighborhood watcher, which is nice since I work at night. And I guess I am not completely alone since I have my 2 way cute puppies. Even though they are only 4 pounds each, they are totally loyal and bark at strange noices. I know that if someone were to try and get me, that they would do there best to try and protect me. But anyway, here is a couple of pictures of my new place.

Me and Ray

As you can see, I was a playboy bunny and Ray was Hugh Hefner for Halloween last year. It was way fun, and kinda funny.
And these next 2 pictures are just some pics of us out and about.
Well I had some of yall ask me to post some more pictures of me and my boyfriend, or rather fiance. His name is Ray but out here in Alabama, everyone calls him Bubba. He has been called that ever since he was little. I know by Ray cause I met him at work and they call him that there. But all of his family and friends call him Bubba. Which by the way, I think is freakin hillarious. But anyway. I met Ray a little over 2 years ago at the post office. We both worked there delievering the mail, which was so much fun. I got to drive one of the mail trucks and everything. We were friends for about a year and then he decided to give a relationship a try. So we have been dating since June of 2007. This past Christmas he asked me to marry him. We had opened all of our christmas presents and then he gave me this card that he had written a sweet note in it and then at the bottom of the card, it asked if I would marry him. I looked up from the card and he was down on his knee with my ring. It was way sweet. And this past June he came out to Utah to meet the family. He had never been that far away from home, and it was a big eye opener. He really like Utah though. And hopefully, when I get done with school, I can get him to move back home with me. But no, we have not set a date to get married yet. I have to finish school before I can get married. I am on the GI Bill, which is paying for all of my schooling and books, but I can't get married or I will loose the benefits. But its all good. So yeah, I guess that is the overall of Ray and me.

Utah Trip

Me and the boys (Tommy, Jacob and Fred) on top of Snowbird. They are so freakin big and make me look extremely short, even though I am 5'7". But they tower over me now.
Me and Fred sitten out from playing basketball with the boys.
Me and Stephan playing basketball, notice all of the sweat.

Me and Ray at the top of Snowbird. He was so amazed with the mountains. This good old country boy has never been on the other side of the Mississippi and so this trip was an eye opener to the world outside of the south.



Me and the boys just being us.

And the boys getting aggravated with how into myself I can be.lol.



And for some reason they love doing this to me everytime I come to Utah.




Well this past June, Ray(my boyfriend) and I took a trip to California and then we drove up to Utah to see the family. We had a really good time getting to see everyone and the boys had a good time checking out the new boyfriend and giving their approval of him. Its amazing how all of my brothers are younger than me, yet they have assumed the role of my older brothers in that they are very protective of me. Funny. And I guess that now I am the smallest of them all, I guess they do need to watch out for me now. I still can't believe how big they have all gotten. Even Corrye is taller than me.

Grandmother



Well as some of you know, my sweet Grandmother passed away suddenly about 3 weeks ago on July 10th. I am still in shock over it. She was healthy as a horse and had at least 10-15 years of good living and she just suddenly passed away at home. I have been living with her for the past 3 years now, and was going to continue living with her until I finished nursing school. She was not only my Grandmother, but my best friend. Through thick and thin, she was there for me. And I especially needed her, seeing as which all of my immediate family lives in Utah, and I don't have much in the way of friends down here in Alabama. I don't know if it is me or just the girls down here but I don't feel like I click into their clicks all that well. And besides that, I always had Grandmother, and so I didn't feel like I needed to really make all that much in the way of friends. My uncle describes me and my Grandmother as a couple of teenagers, always sneeking off and getting into trouble. And that is exactly how we were. We would go to the movies together, go shopping or just hang out at home and watch our favorite TV shows together. I still really can't believe that she is gone. I still have 3 more semester left of nursing school and now I am having to find a new place to live and a new job. What a 2 and a half years this has been. Since I have moved to Alabama, I have lost my Granddaddy, then 8 months later, I lost my Dad, and now my Grandmother. I know that God will only give you as much as you can handle, but here lately, I think that he is a bit over confident in me.
