Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything on here. Since the last time I posted a lot has happened in my life. I have meet a wonderful man who I am now living with in Louisiana and loving it. I now have two cats Kitty and Patches, which he says he doesn't like but he is always cuddling with its cute. I am very much in love. Work is going great and there are other jobs on the horizion for me so its always nice to know that I have plenty of options. Unfortunately a month ago I lost a very important woman in my life, my Grandmother. I know that she is in a better place and is with my grandpa and Uncle Billy which is where she wanted to be. But all in all it doesn't make it any easier to let go and say good bye. But I think that the worst part of working offshore hit me when I got the news that she had past. I was offshore on the boat and had to wait until that night to get off. Which makes the day that much longer. But I am lucky the captain on the boat is also my boyfriend so I had someone to comfort me and take care of me which helped me out a lot. Burnell did alot for me that day and I dont think that he even knows how much that meant to me. Well that is all for right now. I will try to post more often but I make no promises. Later guys ya'll take care. |

| Changes |

Well I know that I have not updated in awhile but I have had some changes in my life. First and the major one is that Roy and I broke up. I am ok with that I think that it was time. By doing this we have managed to keep our friendship I think but only time will tell. Other than that I have been working. I worked the whole month of February and I am on my boat now.
I tell you sometimes it feels like everything falls into place just when you think that things cannot get any worse. Thats what happened for me. Those of you who have talked to me in the last 3 weeks know what I am talking about. I cannot even explain the way I feel right now. But I know that it is a good feeling. Well thats all for now. Everyone take care. Love yall |

Well guys I have been at work since the end of January. Let me tell you that getting a brand new boat ready is not easy, it SUCKS. Lots of long days and hard work. BUt we are leaving the ship yard on Saturday and I cannot wait. But it will be even better when I can get home. I am so ready to be cuddled up with Roy and just be held. And that will be at the end of next week. The only good thing is that we will proably be changing crews in Galveston which makes me very happy. Thats really all that is going on here. So everyone take care. |

| A hello from offshore |

Well guys I am out in the Gulf of Mexico on a lift boat (also known as a jack up boat). The one that I am on is called the Wil B, it is about 110 feet long and 70 feet wide. The legs that we use to jack up on are 200 feet tall. They are all the way up when we are underway. I am really enjoying this job. We do alot of work but we have fun. The crew that I am working with is really cool and the mate that I am training with is really helpful and willing to teach me. He thinks that I have a great attitude and am a hard worker. I will be home for the holidays and during that time I am getting a new vehicle (or rather new to me). I have been on here for nine days already and I know that I am going to enjoy working for this company. I do miss cuddling with Roy every night but he understands that I have to work and he is fully supportive of my job. He only complaint was that he gets use to me be there in the bed and then I am gone for two weeks and he gets use to sleeping alone again. But I guess he can always cuddle with the cat.
The cat just recently got declawed and spayed. She is doing fine, but she picked up a new habit. She will come get in the bed with us and we lift up the blanket and she crawls in and curls up next to me under the blanket and goes to sleep right there cuddled up against me and Roy holding me. Its kinda cute, like one big happy family. Well its the closest thing to a family I guess. But Roy and I are doing great. I got him a 320GB external hard drive for his laptop. But I have no clue what he is getting me.
Well guys that is all for now. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Be safe and you are in my prayers.

Well yesterday was a big day for me. I got my job in Louisiana as a third mate on jack up boats. I am going to be the mate on a brand new boat. We get to do sea trials next month and then the boat will be turned over for operation in January. I am really happy because I am using my degree and already a way to get promoted to Captain. Once I am eligible through the Coast Guard to get the master's license for a certain tonnage they are going to make me a Captain. But until then I will be working 14 days on and 14 days off.
Then on my drive back to Texas I got a speeding ticket. But crap happens. Talk to everyone later. |

Well I have finally made it home where I can stay for more than two days. I am really happy to be home. I feels so nice to actually sleep in my own bed and curl up with my man.
Now all I need to do is figure out where everything in my life is going. I got some advice from a friend that said everything will work itself out one way or another. But the hardest part about that is that I have to wait and have no say for the most part. Usually I am a little better at the waiting game but when the stakes include my heart it makes it kinda hard to sit around and watch. But I guess that is all I can do so please give me strength to be patient.
Well in other news I have a job interview next week and hopefully I will get it. I will let you know what happens next week. Until then Happy Thanksgiving. |

Well guys, it has been awhile since I posted. I went on the TS Golden Bear out of Vallejo, Ca. for the summer to finish my college time. We went to South America, including Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico and Cocos Island. It was a really good time. But the best news that I have is that I am not a College Graduate with a Third Mate's license. I went 6 out of 7 on license I only had to retake t-nav. So I was really happy with myself.
In other news, I was home for three days and I left again for 3 months. I am in Yorktown, Va for Coast Guard training specifically Boatswain Mate A School which is 11 weeks ling. MAn is it boring here!!!!! Then I am going home. THANK GOD FOR HOME!!!!!
Roy and I are still together and going strong. I sure do love that man! Well everyone I have to go I am on duty so I better get to it. Ya'll take care. Write again soon.

Well I have taken my license test and I passed 6 out of 7 sections. Which is really hard and extremely stressful no matter who you are, it straight up sucks. I retake the one section on June 5th. Other than that not much has really been happening in my life. Roy is offically an uncle as of last night. But that is it. Hope that everyone is doig great out there. Peace. |

Where do I start, everything that is going on has me completely stressed out!! And the amazing thing is that my boyfriend doesn't understand why I am stressed out about taking License next month. On top of it he is always telling me to calm down and that really aggrevates me more than he knows!! If I say something to him its Why are you so bitchy?!! And I say something to him he doesn't remember it or he never even heard it. I feel like he is not listening to me when I listen to him. So it would be nice if he did the same for me. But I guess I will just put myself in a bubble and leave him alone, since that is what he wants. If he wants me or any type of attention he can come and get but I doubt that he wants anything right now!!! |

For all of us that go to A&M University at Galveston we are in mourning for a lost friend. Yesterday Gilbert Martinez pasted away, RIP and you will be greatly missed. My prayers are with your family.
In other news, I have been so aggrevated with life in general. I have been aggrevated with Roy just as much lately. I really don't understand why. I think that it comes down to the fact that I am working so much and going to school. I am now pulling at least 40 hours at Chili's and trying to keep up in al of my classes. Plus working for A&M and still in the Coast Guard. But life goes on I guess. I am so stressed out that it is not even funny. I am trying to get ready for license and I feel that I am getting nowhere with it. All I do is feel stupid when I take these tests which causes me to lose faith in myself and my intellegence!! And this is not the time to do this. But I will get through this eventually.
That's all I have to say for now. Talk to y'all later
