Here are some pictures of what my home in Kentucky looks like.

It's looking a lot more homey now. Here are some more pictures of how Mom and I fixed up the place when she visited.

There's still so much to do around the house. I've turned into a
bit of a housewife--whenever Lin visits, I do his laundry and the
dishes. I won't complain though--he gives me money to live on and
pays our rent. Plus he can cook much better than I can! I
can't believe it's only been a little over a year since we met for the
first time. And right around our anniversary, we moved in
together. We joke about being big dorks for meeting each other on
the internet, because our neighbors (who are married) met online
too. I certainly never thought I'd be living with a guy, but
that's how things happen sometimes. Mom had been against it at
first, but when I said, "But didn't Dad live with you before you got
married?" she didn't have much to say about it. I said that
everyone has different situations. For me, Lin has given me a
chance to start my life over again. He's given me a chance to
move out of Western Pennsylvania and help me financially while I find a
job. He's given me the opportunity to "live on my own" and gain
independence (since he's on the road 80% of the time). My entire
family thinks this is best for me.
I've even started going to church again--I found a Presbyterian church
downtown called South Frankfort. My neighbors had been a bit
reluctant about church (not to mention uncertain of a church to attend
since they're Catholic and Baptist) but they've been coming with
me. I've gone three weeks in a row now. I've already been
invited to join the choir.
Oh, and I GOT A JOB! AT A CHOCOLATE FACTORY! I'm a
Hospitality Coordinator. 9-5:30, M-F and rotating
Saturdays. Benefits and paid vacation time. I'll be selling
candy and giving tours. I've also been told that I can get raises
once I work longer, and given my html knowledge, I may get extra if I
can spruce up the website. It took me 3 months to get a job in
PA, and like 1 week to get a job here. Crazy!
