messing around

I was bored tonight before I went to bed and I started messing around with sites that had stuff for blogs. I added the clock on the side first. I was actually impressed with myself to figure out how to put it over there. I'm not super good with website type stuff and looking at codes and figuring out where to put a code that will look like a clock on my main page.. but anyhow. Then I found this fish thing and figured I'd make my own tank of brightly colored fish and put it on here also as a post. It took up a few minutes of my night deciding how big to make the tank, how many bubbles I wanted, what color fish I wanted and so on. haha So that was about the excitement of my night. Korey and I started to watch Ghost Rider but he got tired so we'll have to finish it tomorrow night. We went over to the pool today and it was super packed and had some interesting people over there and Korey quickly realized he should have agreed to go to the beach with me when I asked. But nooooo he wanted to go to the pool... which he later regretted after he saw all the people there and heard what some of them were talking about. Anyway... we did not stay at the pool long. We came back and took Bella out to play then I ended up falling asleep on the couch while Korey played a game. On the bright side I did get to talk to Lisa a lot today! :) Hope everyone is enjoying their summer... I'm hoping mine does not go by to fast for the next month.

My fish tank:

Get Your Own Aquarium

P.S. I discovered if you put your mouse on the tank the bubbles move around... (okay so I admit.. I'm really bored!)

New Car

Well Korey and I got a new care tonight. It was exciting. I think we got a pretty good deal on it. Korey really seems to like it. Now he will have a new toy to play with haha. We got a Nissan Xterra. Hopefully he'll let me drive it some too :) It is dark out now so I did not take any pictures of it with our camera. I took one with my phone and sent it to a few people. I'll try and take more tomorrow and put some on here! But that's our big excitement for right now. We just have to make sure we don't spend money on stupid stuff haha But at least now we won't be spending money to fix the Aztek! Hopefully the neon will remain faithful! Well I guess I don't really have too much else to write. We're hoping to go to the beach tomorrow, and we are also hoping to maybe go out downtown. Hope everyone else has a great weekend!

Swimming under stars!

The family went home today which was sad. It was nice having them here. I just wish all my family and friends lived where I did. It would make things easier. I had a fun week at home visiting and a fun week when they were visiting here. I got to do a lot of stuff in Charleston which was nice. Some of it I had not done before. I like living in a place where people enjoy coming to visit! Although next time we move somewhere hopefully we'll have a little bit bigger of a place so it's not as crowded when people come to visit :).. I don't think cork minds sleeping on an air matress tho! :)

Anyway.. Korey and I continued our car hunt tonight and checked out some more cars. Then when we got back we went for a swim in our pool. It was nice going for a swim at night. There were only two other people at the pool so it was nice and quiet and we could see the stars really well so it made it even nicer. Now I think we're going to pig out on some ice cream and head to bed. At least tomorrow is Friday! yay

Another trip to OTH stuff

Today we went again to the town where One Tree Hill is filmed. Courtney had never been there and wanted to take the studio tour. This time the tour was pretty disappointing though because they were just now tearing down sets for the show and building new ones so they did not really show us anything at all that had to do with OTH which kind of stunk. We walked around down near the river and saw some other places where they film, but overall it was not a very eventful trip. We did get to stop on the way back and eat at Hard Rock!
Last night Korey, Cork and I went to see Transformers. I loved it! There are a bunch of movies out right now I want to see, so I'm glad I got to go see at least one of them. Korey was also able to stay awake for the whole movie! haha
Well this is short but I don't have much else to write right now. Maybe I'll add some more pictures tomorrow and write more. Bye for now!

It's been awhile... but I'm back home

Hey everyone! I just got back from visiting good old PA. I had a lot of fun. I got to have a sleepover with the girls :) Next time we'll try a different punch though girls! :) I got to spend the night out at the camper. I like the camper and I do miss going to picnics. I got to see my family and go to NYC with them. I love the city. I went to see The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with my sister while my parents went to see Les Miserables.



We all loved our shows. The Spelling Bee was hilarious! Now I'm back home and I'm glad to be back in the warm weather. But i'm starting to get bummed out about money. Korey's car is broken and we are probably going to have to get another one and we do not want another payment each month grrr. Also I have to sub at the beginning of the school year because I can't really get a job for only 3 months, but the pay for subbing is CRAP because I do not have this states teaching certificate. Which is SOOO STUPID.. I have a freaking teaching certificate- it should not matter if its from here or not. Oh well enough venting about that. I love living here but this job thing stresses me out for those 3 months. I wish it paid more money and then it would be okay. But anyway.. enough about all of that. I'll try and write more now that i'm back here and I'll add some pictures. But for now goodbye. I should get some sleep before doing some more tours with the family tomorrow!

Rain Rain Go Away...

Okay so it is another day full of rain and thunder. I got up and worked out, watched some tv. I went to Walmart to get some things Korey wanted and I also went to Blockbuster to get the next 4 episodes of Desperate Housewives. Now I'm kind of sitting around on the computer because i want to go to the gym, but it is pouring and storming out so I would not even make it over there before becoming soaked. I also would not mind taking Bella for a walk but... again.. the rain is a problem. So I'm just sitting here not doing much right now. Bella is passed out in the chair. I really hope the weather starts getting better so I can make it to the beach some more. Monday was a good beach day, but yesterday and today are definitely NOT! :) But that is enough complaining about the weather. Because I'd rather be sitting around with not a ton to do than be at work. I'm sure there is something here I can find to do!!


Here is a picture I found from when we first moved down here and went to the beach. I liked it so I thought I'd put it on here.

What Kind of Drink Are You?

You Are Sex On the Beach

When comes to drinking, you like it to go down smooth. You really don't like the taste of alcohol - just its effect on you. So, you're proud to get drunk on fruity, girly drinks. Because once you're liquored up, the fun begins!

What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

Interesting...

What to do when it is not sunny out...

Yesterday I enjoyed my day off by going to the beach. It was nice, relaxing, and I got some sun. I even went in the water... and the the tide came in and the water started creeping closer and closer, and the beach started to get smaller and smaller :) so I eventually left, but i got a good 2 hours or more at the beach which was nice. Today they were calling for scattered thunderstorms so instead of going to the beach I thought I'd go hang out at the pool. There was noone there when I went which was nice, and I got a good hour in before it started to thunder and sprinkle. So I left the pool and came back to the apartment to hang out with Bella. It didn't not sprinkle long though and the sun came back out, but it continued to thunder off and on for awhile so I figured it was safe to stay away from the pool. But then I did not know what to do with myself haha. I am in no way sad that I did not know what to do though, I would rather sit around with nothing to do then get up early for work :) I decided to fold some laundry and wash some more, and I watched Dr. Phil and Oprah haha. I also talked to Courtney and Lisa online so it turned out an okay day even though I could not go to the beach or pool! :)


Now that the thunder seems to have stopped i might brave a walk over the bridge, or I might just play it safe and head to the gym.. we'll see. Either way I'm going to get going. I've been on the computer a little too much today!

NO MORE WORK

Wow... It's been a really long time since I wrote last. Sorry about that. I guess it's a good thing not many people actually read this! At least this time I can add some pictures! Lisa just left today from her trip down here. We were sad to see her go. It was a really fun week. We got to do a lot of stuff. We went to the beach, walked around downtown, ate at some good restaurants, got free root beer floats (not to mention we had already bought root beer floats earlier in the same day, and got milkshakes along with our free floats that evening haha). We went shopping at the town center, went to the dog park, walked the bridge, and more! It was definitely a great week.
I'm also happy that I am finally done with work now. It was kind of sad the last day though because I loved the lady I worked with and I also loved many of the other people at the school. I am excited though to not have to work over the summer. I am ready to go to the beach or pool every day. It has been soooo hot down here already. I don't mind the heat... Korey does not enjoy it so much.

Well it's kind of late and we're getting up for church tomorrow so I'm going to go for now. But i'll try and write more now that I don't have school. Although I may not have too much to write about haha. Love you all and enjoy the pictures!

Something Different

I saw this on another blog I read and thought it was different and since I don't have anything too interesting to write, I thought I'd put this on here. Click on it and see if you agree with me.

So close... yet it seems SOOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAARRRR AWAYYYYYYY

:) I only have 8 more days of working with children at school. It's getting sooo close but it still feels like it will never get here haha. I'm having fun these last few days though because we are not doing as much work. We are practicing a lot for our concert and taking stuff down in the room to get ready to send it home with the kids. Also, next week we'll have an extra set of hands because we got one of the subs to come in and help us get the kids ready for the concert. The concert should be interesting. A bunch of 4 and 5 year olds on stage for the first time ever singing songs for their parents and the kindergarten and first grade classes. I'm excited haha. It just stinks that the concert is the same time as Korey's graduation. I'm glad his parents and grandparents are coming so that someone will be there. I wish I could go but I was originally told not to come "it's not worth coming to"... so then the concert got scheduled that day, and I said that was fine. Now I wish I could see him graduate but he says it's okay. So anyhow.. enough about that.
It's been so nice and warm here. I think i'm going to go to the beach this weekend. This weekend starts our first wave of visitors for the summer. But I'm sure I've already talked about all this so I'm going to go now haha. Not much else is going on, but I'll write more later!

The Countdown is On

Now that I know there will be no kids after the 25th, I'm only counting down until that day. So.. I have 13 more days of school left. After those 13 days I get Memorial day off and i'm taking the Tues., Wed., And Thurs., after Memorial day off since there are no kids and I'm going home. School is not officially over until June 3rd though, and since I am getting paid up until June 3rd and I'm under contract, I still have to go to school until June 3rd. So... after I get back from my trip home i still have to go into school for a few days. I'll probably be testing kids for the program next year or helping clean out the room. At least 2 of those days are 1/2 days. It just stinks though because Lisa and Ashley are following us back down here and staying with us for a bit and I don't want to have to go in to school those days.. but oh well.
At least with this countdown I don't feel like I am wishing my life away like I did when I was counting down student teaching. Student teaching was just so miserable I could not wait for it to be over just so it was over. I'm counting down now because I am just so excited to be spending the summer here with no work to do. I'm used to working all summer and this is the first time in awhile I won't have to... but i'll still be getting paid! It will be like one long vacation AND I live near the BEACH! :) Sorry.. if you haven't noticed i'm super excited! I'm also excited to show everyone around when they come down. The visitors start soon. In two weeks The Witt parents will be here to visit and The Witt Grandparents! Then we go home for a visit and Lisa and Ashley are coming back with us. Then after that The Kelso family :) is coming to visit. I'm excited. That's all I have to say for now!

Good News!

Sorry that I haven't wrote anything in over a week to those of you who actually do read this sometimes. Nothing too exciting has happened. Korey and I did eat at a really neat place down here with some friends last weekend though. This weekend we are going camping, so hopefully I'll be able to put some pictures on here of that. Bella turned a year old on April 19th.
But anyhow haha... sorry to bore you :) My good news is that the four year old class I work with ends early and it ends the Friday before Memorial day. So I don't have to worry about taking time off to come home because school will be done for me! I'm excited to go home again! Four and a half more weeks! And I only have 22 more days of school! I do really like the job though. I'm just not a job person haha. I don't like getting up early especially when its been so nice and warm out here. But I love who I work with and the kids aren't too bad. It's not like some other jobs I've had ;) Some of you know what I'm talking about haha. But anyhow that was my good news of the day and since I didn't have anything else to write about I figured I'd just share that news with you for now. Hopefully I'll have more to write later!

I survived the week

Well I made it through the first week back after break. It went surprisingly fast but it was a CRAZY week. I think the kids forgot what school was after only being gone for a week. I wish I could've forgot :) But I survived and now only six more weeks to go before I take off to come home and then just a few days and its summer break with NO WORK! Yay!
So I don't really have too much to write about right now. I think I might just add some pictures and maybe after the weekend I'll have more exciting things to write. Sorry I'm so boring. It probably explains why noone really even reads this anymore. haha

What kind of Easter candy are you?

You Are a Chocolate Bunny

A traditionalist, you secretly want to dress up like a bunny. And not just on Easter.

Smells Like Summer

I absolutely LOVE it here! The weather has been so nice lately. It's so different from home. It's been in the upper 70's /80's. I went to the beach on Sunday this weekend and yesterday I hung around the pool. I think I'm going to go over to the beach today. I'm really enjoying this spring break thing! :)
Korey and I are coming home now around Memorial day for sure. I think we're going to drive back the Saturday before and then we'll be home Sunday-Thursday. I think that's the longest we've been home yet! I'm excited to go home. I especially want to go to the camper. It smells like summer down here even though its only spring and it makes me think of going to the camper and all the summer things I did back home.
This past weekend was a good weekend! Friday night we went to a comedy show that was free and funny! Saturday we went with some friends to a flower festival. It was like a fair. There were vendors and food and it was fun. I bought a few things and had a lot of food! Then we went to another friends house to play a game that night. And Sunday we went to the beach which I mentioned earlier. Korey and I also bought tennis stuff and attempted playing here. It was fun. I'm not so good, but I still enjoy it :)
Well I'm off to watch Greys Anatomy I borrowed the first two seasons to watch during spring break. Then I'm going to work out and head over to the beach! Talk to you later!

As Courtney would say: One Tree Hill Makes My Life!!!

Yesterday was absolutely amazing!! Korey and I woke up early to head to the OTH charity basketall game. The game was fun to watch. They were giving away t-shirts and other free stuff the whole game. I got a free sunkist t-shirt for Courtney! They also had some of the cast passing out raffle tickets during the game so I got to get some raffle tickets from Hilarie Burton (Peyton). After the game they had autograph signing so Korey and I waited in the long line (we were probably somewhere int he middle of it) and we got autographs from a lot of the cast! I got Courtney's t-shirt signed and I got the t-shirt i bought signed along with a picture frame. It was so exciting and they were all very nice. I don't know if I could be that friendly and nice after signing autographs for over 3 hours. I would definitely love to go again though. I'm just sad that new episodes will not be on again until May 2nd... and I REALLY hope they don't cancel the show. But the day was amazing :) Korey and I even got kisses on the cheek from Hilarie Burton at Korey's request haha. (He thought he was going to be the only one getting the kiss on the cheek).




On the way home Korey and I stopped in myrtle beach for some dinner. We ate at Joe's crab shack on Broadway at the Beach. It brought back some good spring break memories. And just made a perfect ending to a perfect day! I LOVED this weekend.

Today I'm off to the beach with some friends hoping to start my tanning. It's March and i'm going to the beach.. this is crazy to me but I love it... it's def. in the 80's! Talk to everyone later! Love ya

Book clubs, exercise, and laying out

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not written much lately. It has been SUPER nice here this week. It is GREAT. I have gone and laid by the pool 3 days this week. I don't get to lay out much though since I do not get home from work until around 4, but 30 minutes is better than nothing! It's crazy to think that its only March and it is nice enough to lay around a pool! I definitely like the weather here!
On Monday our apartment complex started a book club. I went to the meeting to see if I wanted to do it. There were not a lot of people there but that's okay. It made it a more relaxed atmosphere. We decided to read a Nicholas Sparks book as our first book. I have already read it but I don't mind reading it again. We are going to read True Believer. Of course it is one of the Nicholas Sparks books I did not bring with me and mom can't find it at home. But that's okay...Lisa is letting me borrow hers :) I have to read 1/2 the book by the 26th. I think I can handle that. I am reading a Jodi Picoult book right now though, so it should be interesting trying to read both books at once. Unless I finish my JP book soon, which could happen since its hard to put down!
Since the weather is now warm I have decided I need to step up my exercise haha. I am making sure I try and go EVERY day. It's crazy to think that its already warm enough to wear a swim suit. So now I have to get my body in shape enough to wear the swim suit. Even though I have already worn it a few times to lay out :)
Well I think that is all that's going on right now. Tomorrow is Friday which is exciting. I need to start taking more pictures and putting them on. I say that all the time. Saturday we are going over to a friends house to cook out and hang out for St. Patty's day. But that's all for now!
Love ya!

long time

Hello! Sorry its been so long for those of you who actually check this. It's been a busy, crazy two weeks. Lisa came to visit last week during her spring break. It was a good time! We went out downtown and we also went to Savannah. Then after Lisa left, Courtney came down for the week. She's still here, but goes home tomorrow. We went to see Mama Mia Thursday night which was really good!! Last night we went to eat at a Japanese restaurant and who knows what we will end up doing today. We were originally going to see the OTH sets again but plans changed. Now we're still trying to figure out what to do today!

On the job front I am counting down the days! haha I still enjoy who I work with and some parts of my job, but I am just really really really ready for it to be summer time. I will enjoy sleeping in, going to the beach, relaxing, and still getting paid! :) There are only 56 more days! It seems like a lot but hopefully it goes fast. Two more weeks and then we get a teacher day and a 1/2 day off during the third week. THEN... ITS SPRING BREAK TIME AND I GET A WHOLE WEEK OFF. But enough about that... I'll keep you updated on the countdown don't worry!

Other than that I guess I don't have too much exciting to write about. I'll try and get some pictures on here soon I did take a few last weekend. But I guess i'll go for now!
