The Cat Is Out The Bag

So my sister put it upon herself to be the spokeswoman of Kristen. She went right out and told my mom that I’m moving to Chicago.
I haven’t told my parents this because I was goin to sit both my parents down and tell them myself!
After she told her, my mom rushed in my room and yelled if I’m moving. I said yes and she said that I’m making a dumb choice but I’m grown!
I really don’t see what the big deal is. I’m moving to be closer to the man I love, goin to school and working! What’s wrong wit that!
I know none of the kids has ever moved away, but this is something she will need to deal with.

Stratch That Last One

So I thought about it. Having the B-Day party on the boat is getting expensive. I want a $100 – $150 dress, hair, nails, make-up, and feet done, new shoes and accessories, birthday cake, and not even taking about the boat ticket and drinks that night….the $$$ is getting pretty high.
I also just decided I am moving to Chicago Aug 21st….and I need to sell my car before. It really needs struts which is $650 and I really can’t afford that. And I don’t want to go on a 5hr car ride with the car jumping up and down like crazy. So I am going to try to sell my car for AT LEAST $1000 (It’s a Burgundy 1990 Buick Lasabre…put at least $2000 into it already. Only thing it needs is studs. Just got a tune-up and oil change this past weekend so if you in the Detroit area or know someone who needs a car let me know. Or if you want to drive to come and see it let me know. Her name is Beatrice!) and use that to get another car…which I have to save for. I will try to get something that’s at least a 2000 and pay between $2500 – $3000.
So Big Boat Birthday Bash “Bye Bye”. Maybe another yr because I got to get more important stuff together.
I still believe I’m going to have a great birthday. My boyfriend is still going to come down. I REALLY think it’s just going to be me and him. I want to take him to this nice Jazz Club I love. It also has some great food and great drinks and we can go back to the room and have some great you-know-what! Hahahaha
Its so funny how I went from a big birthday party to just a nice dinner for 2. I’m still excited. And blessed to see another yr!

Life Is Good

Been doing great. Working and saving money. I have now decided to move to Chicago 2nd week in Aug and I start school for Paralegal Studies on Sep 9 at Northwestern College in Chicago.
My 26th birthday will be here May 23rd and I am having a big Birthday Bash on May 22nd on the Detroit Princess boat Downtown Detroit. I am planning on losing 30lbs by then so I can look sexier than EVER WITH A FANASTIC DRESS!!! I cant wait and the closer I get the more excited I am.
My boyfriend is coming down to celebrate with me and FINALLY meet my parents. Its been over 3 yrs so its due time.
 am just so happy. Im happy for my life, health and strength and that God gives me the strength to face another day to be a better Child of His, a better friend, sister and daughter. Life is worth so much value and we take it for granted.
With more news, my co-worker quit last Friday. She got her check and said peace out! Its more to the story:
She came here about 8yrs ago on a work transfer from General Motors from Ohio then they laid her off after 4yrs and she found a job where I work. Her whole family is in Ohio…her mom, her boyfriend…who just proposed…her siblings. So she has planned to move…just had a lease she was stuck with and now the lease ran out and she had to be out in a week so she bounced. I am so happy for her. Not only did she leave a job she didnt even like…she went for what was in her heart. She got tired of playing the long-distance game with her man and traveling back and forth to see him and her mom. She gave me inspiration for real. I cant wait to say peace out to my job! Counting down the days!
