Well, I am happy to report that I have found a new place to live. I was recently approved for my very own 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in downtown Vacaville. It's perfect......perfect price, perfect location, perfect size...Just perfect!!! I have to admit though, I am a bit scared of the "grownup" part of it all. I've been kind of sheltered from the "life bills" for the past 2 years. My mom says I just don't realize how much I've actually been paying to creditors, courts, etc. When all added up its around 10K........I paid off 10K in bills in just under 2 years. I also played ALOT. So I know I can do it, hell, I need to do it. There is no way I'm going to turn 30 living with my parents. It was really starting to cramp my style. I am thankful though, I would still be in debt, driving the beast, living god knows where if they hadn't been so helpful. I really am blessed. I learned so much over the past 2 years, and I can say I did it, all by myself. I got myself into debt, and I got myself out.
I should be getting the keys to my place July 1st! I can't wait, and I am very proud =)

29...
Well the 29th Birthday came and went. It was fun....I had 2 great dinners with awesome company, 3 birthday cakes, 2 birthday cupcakes, awesome gift cards, window tinting, a new deck, 2 bottles of captain, many stiff drinks, 100's of birthday wishes & even got pepper sprayed. Don't worry it was by no fault of my own, I was minding my business and some jackass sprayed the area I was standing in. Let me tell you being pepper sprayed sucks!! I guess I will never forget this one huh?
So every year after new years I do an "Amy Update" This year I missed it so I've decided to catch up now. So here we go:
January 2009....I was still living in the Giaquinto Manor trying (not very hard) to pay off my $7000.00 in debt. Still working at NorthBay in Labor and Delivery. Still working at Aerials gym coaching both Aerials and CheerTyme teams, AND attending Solano Community College working to get my pre-requisites out of the way to get on the waiting list for the RN program. Needless to say I was a busy girl!!!
I am sitting here trying to remember where I spent my new years eve? I am pretty sure it is a safe assumption to say I spent my new years eve at Huey's with Sissy!
February 2009....No Valentine....STILL! I think I worked that night at NorthBay anyway.
February was also CheerTyme's Vegas national trip. It was horrific....we had money problems, almost didn't have hotel rooms to sleep in, almost couldn't compete and a girl didn't show up to competition at all!! With some great support of some great friends all of our problems seemed to iron themselves out. We made the best out of our time together, and thanks to the company we did have fun and we even brought home a few trophies and 1 national title.
April 2009.....was Aerials and CheerTyme's (final performance) at nationals in Anaheim. We had a few horrific moments but all in all it was a great trip and a wonderful way to end CheerTyme's 10 year run. There were many happy and sad tears and many "in honor of" drinks. Both Aerials and CheerTyme did very well at competition bringing home many trophies and 2 national titles. 
April held the very untimely death of a close HS friend who I had only reconnected with in January. It was a sad time.
Also In April was the "Aunt Farm" trip to Vegas for my Aunt Sheila's graduation party!
It was an AMAZING (expensive) trip. Filled with a new Tattoo!!! Great memories!!!
May 2009....I turned 28. We celebrated with dinner at Hisui with some amazing friends and drinks at Huey's (of course) and my shoes got eaten by someones dog. Why do all the weird things happen on my Birthday?
May was also my first official season as an Aerials coach!!!
June 2009....was my 10 year HS reunion! It was such a fun weekend. Partying with old HS friends is always a BLAST!!!
I also went back to Vegas with Sissy and Steff for my FIRST UFC fight! It was also an awesome trip, spending all day drinking fun drinks and laying by the pool, dancing all night at clubs and another tattoo!!! 
July 2009....I spent 4th of July in Tahoe at the Keck "Tahoe" house. It was a good girls weekend.
July was also filled with some soul searching, space, and new friends. Much needed in my life at the time. Especially after receiving the biggest reality check on July 17th. I got a DUI...it was a horrible experience! A horrible very expensive experience in which I am almost done paying off! This also didn't help my plan of paying off my bills and moving out. But I did find the silver lining in the whole experience. At least I didn't hurt myself or anyone else, I now REFUSE to drive after drinking anything, It slowed my drinking down so much, and I think it lit a fire under my ass and made me buckle down on my bills. I was sentenced to 4 days in jail, in which I was able to work off in community service by scrubbing urinals and shitty toilets, 3 months of DUI classes, suspension of my licence for 6 months and court fees of $1600.00. In all I have paid around $3400.00 for my dumb mistake.
Enough of that.....Moving on.
I also used Obama's Cash for Clunkers program and got rid of the beast and bought a brand new 2009 red Nissan Versa!!!
October 2009...I refused to work on Halloween since I had to work the year before. I was a Pirate (of course) and spent the night with some awesome friends at my favorite hangout.
November 2009...November started Aerials competition season! We had a great group of kids and some really great routines.
I worked through Thanksgiving and tried to spend time with my family which is always amazing.
December 2009...We surprised my dad (again) with a trip to Disneyland for his 60th birthday. We also had my Aunt Sheila, Aunt Kitty, Michael and Ric fly to Anaheim and surprise him at the train station inside Disneyland. It was such a great family trip!!
Christmas was amazing like always, I love spending time with my awesome family.
January 2010...I was scheduled to work on new years eve, but ended up being called off. So I partied at a good friends house and toasted to an amazing 2010.
So far there hasn't been many eventful things happening in my life. I have paid off $5530.00 of my debt and I am hoping to move out into a condo in the very near future. I am still working at NorthBay in Labor and Delivery. Still coaching cheerleading at Aerials gym, and the school thing has been put on hold in order to pay off my debts. All in all I am happy and moving forward with my life =)
