So this year has been one if many firsts. In January, I decided to quit school at Kansas State University to work full time, and attend a Highland Community College in Wamego part time and start my life. talked to my supervisor at work, KSU Police Department, to see if I could take over the Temporary position of the night dispatcher, until they hired someone. He said he would mention it to the Captian. I heard from him about two days later, when he called me into his office on January 10th, He talked to me about my decisions and then sent me to do paper work to be the new temp. I started as the Full time temp on January 17th. I applied for the Full time Night dispatching position on January 24th. I didn't hear anything til the middle of February. When I got called to set up an Interview, on February 20 at 1:30pm. I didn't hear anything back about the job until March 5th. When Cpt. called and told me I got the job and I needed to come fill out even more paperwork and I would start as Full time on March 9th.

Not only did I get my first Full time job but I also met DBF, through a coworker, who set up a blind date for us at his superbowl party. We hit it off right away, even though it was kinda hard to go on dates or even see each other due to him being in Academy at the time. Saturday, February 2nd, We had our first date and we have been together ever since.

In April, I decided to find my own place and move out of the apartment I was sharing with a roommate when my lease was up at the end of the month. I found a two bedroom Duplex available in Wamego. And on April 12th, DBF and friend helped me move.

So....so far in 2008 I have started my career, quit K-state, began a relationship with the best guy ever, and moved out on my own. I wonder what the rest of the year is going to bring!
