First Married Christmas :)

Hey Everyone! I hope you had a super fabulous exciting Christmas! Korey, Bella, and I had a GREAT Christmas. Yesterday we went to church and watched a Christmas movie and just relaxed some. Today we got up opened our presents, talked to family, went to see a movie, and packed up for DISNEY! We got a lot of stuff and we enjoyed playing with some of our new gifts. Korey got me the Sims for my computer and it works SOOO WELL on my new computer.. its very addicting! :) I played that for a good part of the day haha. Bella enjoyed all her gifts. She has managed to break two of her squeaky toys already and she ate 2 bones :) haha. I think I finally got most of my stuff packed up to go to Disney tomorrow morning and I'm actually off to bed now so I can get a little sleep before I have to wake up at 7 to make the trip. We are planning to leave around 8 and PRAYING that we can get into the Magic Kingdom when we get there. Well I'll make sure to take some pictures.. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Love you all!

MIDNIGHT IS MY TIME

So its about 11:30 and I'm still awake because I do not have to get up early tomorrow. I should probably still go to bed though because I'm tired! Bella is in bed now though, because she decided it would be a good idea to chew my black shoes i wear to school. Now I have to go buy a new pair of shoes... grrr! But since I was up I decided to take one of the quizzes at blogthings.com and I chose "what time of day are you" and here are the results:

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

What Time Of Day Are You?

I thought it as appropriate and accurate. So enjoy! Christmas is coming... and that means so is DISNEY! :).. I'm excited.

You Are a Snowman

Friendly and fun, you enjoy bringing holiday cheer to everyone you know!

What Christmas Ornament Are You?

It's Almost Christmas Break!

Hey guys! I don't know if anyone still reads this anymore, but I'm finally writing something again. This week felt like it went on forever! The end of the week was kind of bad for me. On Thursday I was sick all day at school and it was not good! I think I caught a 24 hour bug that some of the kids have had. I came home from school and slept on the couch or just laid around until I went to bed. Friday I felt a little better but pretty tired and drained because I hadn't really eaten any food the day before. I made it through the school day (we had a Christmas program which helped because we didn't have to do any teaching during that time :)...) and then I came home and rested some more. Friday night we went out with some of Korey's friends for a little dinner and then we went to see the pursuit of happyness. I loved it! It's a really good movie and its based on a true story. Saturday Korey and I relaxed in the morning and then we finished up our Christmas shopping in the afternoon. We came home and watched some movies and wrapped some presents. We're hoping we can get all our gifts out on time so that they'll get to everyone before Christmas but we'll see! I can't believe Christmas is almost here and that we'll be going to Disney in about a week! It's crazy and I'm VERY excited! :) Well enough about my weekend... it wasn't THAT exciting haha. love you all and see some of you REAL SOON!

8 more school days 'til Christmas Break!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a few days since I wrote anything. I'm just so glad the week is finally over. I love my weekends. But sadly its already Sunday and I have 8 more school days until I get my Christmas break!! Korey and I did some shopping yesterday but not too much because he had to go study in the morning and for most of the afternoon. He went in again this morning but won't be there as long so we're going to do some more shopping again when he is done. Friday night we went to a festival of lights around here. We drove through a park where they had it all decorated with lights. We also got out and walked around where they had marshmallow roasting pits, Santa Claus, shopping, and more. It was fun and something different!



Also Saturday night Korey and I went to a hockey game around here. It was fun too, but I would've probably liked it better if during the last period they didn't stop every 2 seconds to beat each other up, it got a little excessive. But overall this was a pretty good weekend. It's getting colder down here, but there is no snow so I am HAPPY! :) Hope all is well back home! Miss you and see some of you soon!

Yay for new computers!

Well I finally have a new computer now so I should be online more again! It's kind of sad how attached we are to our computers haha. I really missed it when it was gone. I enjoy talking to people on here at night and looking up stuff.

This weekend Korey and I did some Christmas shopping and we bought a Christmas tree. A fake one, because it was actually cheaper than buying a real one around here, and we figured a real one would just give Bella something to eat when needles fell off. Bella has done pretty well around the tree. I've only caught her twice now trying to eat it or something off of it haha. We also decorated our patio/porch thing outside with some nice lights. I'm really getting excited for christmas. We still have a lot of shopping to do it seems like though, and then of course we need to wrap the gifts and ship them all off to wherever they're going! Well I don't really have too much more to write. If i remember something else I did while my computer was broke i'll write it later haha. DISNEY WILL BE HERE SOON! YAY

Nice and Warm

Okay... I find it very crazy that it is almost December and it was 79 degrees out today! Korey and I took Bella to the beach tonight and it was fun to be there at night when it was nice and quiet and there was hardly anyone there at all. Bella enjoyed running around in the sand. I walked over to the gym tonight in a short sleeve shirt and shorts and I wasn't even cold, in fact I think I got some bug bites! I do not miss cold weather at all! haha Other than that nothing too exciting has happened. KOrey's car is still not fixed, and my computer is still broken. I'm getting super excited about Disney! I don't really have too much to write on here. Korey did great on his last test he had the other day which is good! I'm going to actually go now and get ready to watch the best show in the world ONE TREE HILL! I don't know what i'm going to do when they go on their Christmas break. But korey and I did start watching episodes of LOST that we got from Blockbuster so I guess I'll just have to watch that! Talk to you later :)

The Trip Home was GREAT!

Okay.. so this is the second time now i'm writing this, because the last time Korey's computer froze up and it lost it all. I am having the worst luck ever.

Well Korey and I had a great visit home. Sorry I haven't wrote in awhile, but I know most of you got to see me this past weekend and that just makes up for everything! haha. Well the last time I wrote this before it got deleted, I wrote everything we did while we were home... I'll try and sum it up again.

We left Wed. night right after work and drove 3 hours through some bad traffic to get to the airport to fly home. Korey's dad picked us up around midnight when our plane landed and we headed home. We got home around 3 a.m. after stopping for some food. Thursday morning I woke up to Courtney calling me and texting me ... telling me to get my butt over to the house. She told me to "hurry up and to not even worry about showering." I did shower but I tried to hurry and Korey and I headed over to see my family. We played Apples to Apples which is a REALLY FUN game! (I ended up buying it this weekend). Everyone played which made it great! (dad usually doesn't play games). So then after the game we ate our Thanksgiving lunch/dinner and just kind of hung out together aftewards. Korey went home to his house a little later on for the evening and I stayed at home and had a girls night with Courtney. It was nice to be home again! Friday morning I went to get my hair cut and highlighted. I hadn't done anything to my hair since the summer. I hate going to new people when it comes to my hair and I don't want to go to someone else when I finally found someone who does my hair perfect! I told Kristy (my hairdresser who happens to have my same name and spells it with a K also! haha) that I would have to make a special trip home again next time I needed my hair done. After my hair I went with my family to Long John Silvers because we don't have one of those here believe it or not, and I kind of missed it! Then I went to the scrapbook nook, and on a hunt to find Apples to Apples before visiting with Grandma. Next, I had to hurry home to go to Korey's grandmas to meet him there for another Thanksgiving meal. It was a nice visit with his relatives, we ate and watched the Polar Express. Then Korey and I went to my house to put up the Christmas tree, and after that we hung out with all our friends for the night. It was really good seeing everyone, it kind of stinks that we dont' get to see them that often now that we've moved. Every time Korey and I go out on the weekends I tell him everyone how much I miss my friends and I wish they were here! Saturday morning Korey and I ate brunch with Sarah and Betsy and then we went to see Sarah's new puppy Jake. He's adorable. He'll have to meet Bella some time. After puppy visiting Korey and I went to say goodbye to my family one last time before we left to go to his other grandparents for the night. We drove down and had another Turkey meal with Korey's relatives and hung out with them for the night. It was another good visit with family. The next morning we woke up and headed to the airport to fly back here. The plane ride was okay, it just kinda of stunk that we had to switch planes for such a short flight. Once we got back here... everything went wrong it seemed...

We were not able to pick Bella up last night because we got in to late and that made us both upset/unhappy. Korey's car was not fixed while we were gone so I had to get up super early today to drive him to school before I went to work. (His car is still not fixed, but at least i found a ride for tomorrow and will only have to get up 30 min. early instead of 2 hours early). Then to top that all off, my computer decided to not start when I turned it on and it still does not work as of right now. I must have bad luck following me around as Korey said a few minutes ago when I made his computer freeze up and had to start typing this all over again for a second time!

But anyway... I survived my long day of running around in the morning, and not really getting home for good until after 7. Korey has a test tomorrow and then he pretty much has the rest of the week where he doesn't have to do too much until his real school starts on Monday. I still like my job so its okay that the kids drive me nuts and wear me out!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am looking forward to our Disney Trip in December. I am sooo excited. I LOVE Disney World, and this is the first time my family has gone in awhile... so I keep trying to get them excited about it! But I think this is enough writing for now. Sorry if I bored you with all the details of my trip home and my complaining about my bad luck. Hope my bad luck doesn't rub off on anyone!

I'm boring... Sorry!

So its been almost a week since I wrote last. My life hasn't been all that exciting sorry, I didn't really have anything new to write about. I got up went to work, the kids were crazy and wore me out, I came home went to the gym, made some food, ate it, watched some tv, and then passed out. That was basically every day this week haha. Wednesday I had a rough morning, I slept in 15 minutes, and then couldn't find my keys and barely made it to school on time. Then today I had to go to a new employee orientation that was from 8-1 and pretty boring, and confusing. Then I went into school afterwards and worked 'til 4. We got mail today from Lisa which was exciting! :)
Korey gets home from school pretty late, usually after 7 which kind of sucks because then we eat, and he usually tries to go to bed by 10. I'm glad I'm here with him, but it kind of stinks being together, but not really being able to spend much time together. I really look forward to the weekends and I'm soooo glad that tomorrow is Friday. We don't really have any big plans for the weekend. Korey had mentioned going bowling at one point, and I still really want to go on our free carriage ride but we'll see. Every weekend we plan to do something, stuff just always seems to happen to mess up our plans! Less than a week until we go home, I'm so excited to see everyone! It kind of stinks that we won't be there long. WE have thursday and Friday in bville, then we have to travel to korey's grandparents house on Saturday, and then flying back here on Sunday. Well I guess thats enough rambling. Sorry that nothing more exciting has happened. Although I went to two different walmarts today and saw people camped out literally with tents up waiting to go get a new playstation.. now thats CRAZY! HAHA

Relaxing Weekend and Good Books

This weekend was nice and relaxing and of course went too fast! Friday night we went to see Stranger Than Fiction with some of Korey's friends, it was good! Saturday I slept in of course :) and then went for a run in the early afternoon. It was pretty warm out and it was a nice run! Then Korey and I went to the outlets because Korey needed some new basketball shoes. He found some people to play basketball with on the base and he was all excited. We found some new shoes, I bought another book :) and also a Christmas present for someone! Saturday night we went to eat at Longhorn Steakhouse with another of Korey's friends and his friends girlfriend who was visiting. It was a good dinner and afterwards we went to his friends house to hang out and watch a movie. Today is just a lazy Sunday. We went to the grocery store and Walmart and now we're relaxing watching the Steeler game... and yes surprisingly we can actually sort of relax watching it right now since they are ahead by 14 pts. now they just need to keep it that way! Back to school tomorrow... which is okay... I just really enjoy my weekends haha.

Now for the books part. I have been reading books by Jodi Picoult lately. They are AMAZING! The first book I read was My Sisters Keeper! I loved it and immediately gave it to my mom to read and she also enjoyed it. I decided I would try another one of her books and I picked The Pact to be my second Jodi Picoult book to read. It was also AMAZING! The stories are so good and the characters so real. I cannot put the books down and generally finish them within a week which is usually difficult for me to do since I'm going to work all day and then going to the gym, making dinner, eating, watching some tv at night, and more. But with her books I just cannot stop reading and I take the books with me wherever I go. This weekend I bought another one of her books Vanishing Act, and I've already started it. So those of you who read this and are looking for some good books... Go read these books, or you can ask to borrow mine! I like to share good books with friends :)

I hope all is well with everyone else, and I'm sure I'll have more to write within the week. We'll be home soon!

Where Should I Spend My Summer?

You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach

You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun. And you don't just love summer... you live for it. So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach!

Where Should You Spend Your Summer?

Days off are nice!

I didn't have to work today. It was election day and there was no school. It was nice sleeping in during the week again. I didn't sleep in too late though :) I actually did some stuff today too! I cleaned up our apartment, I made dinner (which only consisted of putting a roast in the crock pot.. but that's still making dinner!) I entertained the pup and I went to the gym. When Korey got home we had to go pick up his car from being looked at, and then we came home and relaxed. Korey seems to not hate his classes so far so that's good. Nothing to exciting has happened lately except Bella got out again on Sunday and this time she was BAD! She broke a glass and ate at least 5 candy bars and got crumbs everywhere. She didn't get sick Sunday night, but Monday when I got home from work she puked up two candybar wrappers.. NOT FUN! Everything is okay now and she seems fine... I just have to make sure her den is closed when we leave! haha Hope all is well with everyone else. Tomorros is Hump Day! The weekend will be here before we know it haha.

I love weekends!

So I noticed I haven't wrote in a few days... Sorry! We did not get any trick or treaters here on Halloween. Kind of sad, If I lived in an apartment complex and I was a child, I'd be in Heaven going around to everyones door, but oh well.. more candy for Korey and I. Thursday was my first day of work with all the kids. I'm still enjoying the job, one week in. The kids are crazy though and some of them are slower to learn, but I knew that coming in to this program so it's okay. I really like the teacher I work with, and I just hope I keep enjoying the job. Friday was Korey and I's 8 year anniversary from when we started dating so Korey surprised me and booked a dinner cruise for us to go on. It was fun and the food was good! Today we went shopping and ate at Red Lobster! :) Now we are watching movies of course! Bella has been recovering from her surgery well. Funny story about Bella... the other day when we got home from the dinner cruise Bella greeted us at the door. I did not think this was strange at first, and then all of a sudden it hit me.. why is bella out of her den? We put her in her den every time we go somewhere and she was definitely in there when we left. One of us must not have latched it right though and she got out. Nothing was chewed up and she didn't go to the bathroom in the house though, so we were happy. She was sitting on the chair when we came home and jumped off to meet us at the door. Now she is watching the movie we are watching very intently haha. We're watching 8 Below and I think she enjoys watching the dogs on the movie!
Before I go I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to the people who keep our mailbox full with letters. Courtney I think you write us every day or something haha.. j/k but thank you so much for all the mail. Also a thank you to Lisa who has written several letters! Its fun to get mail! :) We started hanging our cards we get on the wall, it makes us feel like we're missed! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.

In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
and knock on doors
for trick or treat.

Tonight we are the
king and queen,
for oh tonight
It's Halloween!

Is It Friday Yet?

Well today was my first actual paid day of work and it went well. There weren't any kids there yet though haha. Tomorrow half of the kids will come, and then Wednesday the other half will come. Thursday will be the first day with all the kids. I'm excited, but also a little nervous since they will be 4 year olds and some of them have never been in school before now... it should be interesting. I just hope I can do everything that is asked of me. It sounds like I will be doing a lot of getting papers ready and things for the kids, but also I think I will be doing a lot of crafts... which is fun, but at the same time makes me worry I'll be spending a ton of time trying to find crafts to do... we'll see how that works out. I'm not dreading going to work yet, which is a good thing haha but I am dreading getting up in the morning. I have to get up around 6 or a little after and I am NOT a morning person at all.. It's killing me! The only nice thing is that I am technically done around 3 to go home. Once everything settles down and we have the room all set up and ready to go and the kdis have been there awhile, I'll probably get to leave close to that time, but for now we'll see. So far the teacher has been wonderful about letting me get home, but I've been staying because I know there is a lot to do. 4 more days of work and then its the weekend.. yay! :) I think Korey and I are going to try and go on our free carriage ride this weekend, depending on the weather and then use our restaurant gift certificate to go out to eat! I'm looking forward to that and sleeping in. I miss spending my whole day at home with Korey... sleeping in... relaxing and watchign movies all day... going to the beach (when it was still warm). Well I better go get ready for tomorrow and get to bed soon. I think Korey and I are at least going to start watching a movie tonight haha! This Blockbuster thing has definitely come in handy!.. Night ;)

Yucky Rainy Friday

Yay.. It's Friday! Boo... It's rained all day. :) Today was another day full of setting up the new classroom. It was another good day. Everyone seems very nice and the teacher i'm working with is sooo positive. I really think this job will be hard.. but I think I'll enjoy it. I'm really hoping I enjoy it. I'm going to miss my days of sleeping in and hanging out with Korey. It was a good month to just relax and spend time together and WATCH MOVIES!! I'm so glad it's the weekend but I wish it was not raining. It has rained ALL DAY! When I got home from work today Korey had cleaned the whole apartment and our kitchen table had arrived and he had it all set up and ready to go! It was a wonderful surprise-I was so happy!! Especially since I had bathroom cleaning duty... but he did it all! Tonight we went to see Saw 3. I thought it was good, it was disturbing as usual and that was expected haha. It was also very gruesome.. but that was also expected. Not sure what we will do tomorrow. We want to go on the haunted hayride they have around here, but not if the weather is as crappy as it was today. Sunday Kody will be coming through town with his girl and I guess they are stopping to see us so we'll see what happens there. Other than that.. no big plans. I start working for actual money on Monday haha.. but the kids won't be there until Tuesday. There is a meeting for parents Monday night though which is going to make Monday a looooonnnggg day. I'm really going to be looking forward to the weekends! Night for now.

Hump Day

It's wednesday.. half way through the week. Yesterday morning I found out that I got the original job I interviewed for. I start working next Monday as a teacher assistant. I have met the teacher I will work with.. she is nice.. but most of you know the whole situation surrounding even getting this job haha. It's crazy. I just hope that I enjoy it and that I do a good job. I may be going in later this week or this weekend to probably help get everything set up. I'll have to write about how everything goes once I get started.. hopefully they will be Happy blogs haha. I'm going to miss my days of lounging around with Korey. We've gotten to watch a lot of movies! Blockbuster online came in handy! Today Korey and I went to the movies and saw The Prestige.. it was really good. There aren't many movies I don't like though if you talk to me.. so you'd have to go see them for yourself to see if you like them :) I'm excited that its Wednesday.. not just because the weekend is closer.. but because it's ONE TREE HILL night! But I don't really have any other big exciting news or things going on.. so I guess this is all I'll write for now. Halloween is coming up! I don't know if we'll do anything or not. Probably not on the actually night of Halloween since I'll have to work the next day... but even this weekend I dont know what we'll do.. other than go see Saw 3. But anyhow.. bye for now!

Well this weekend was exciting.. for me at least! Korey and I decided to travel this weekend to Wilmington. Our goal was to scout out some Tree Hill stuff! We went to the studios where One Tree Hill is filmed. We got to walk through the sets where stuf is filmed.. it was great! It was fun to see how it really looks compared to how it appears on tv. They had some sets closed off, but we got to walk through Dan and Deb's house, Haley and Nathans apartment, Brooke and Rachels room, the locker room, we saw the cars that people drive on the show.. we even saw a set all ready to go for an episode that must be in the future.. so it kind of gave some things away possibly!


The only bad part was we saw noone famous haha (and you can't take pictures of the sets).. but they don't film on the weekends and they don't give tours during the week.. plus the people who work there never see them and say that its easier to see them downtown than at the studio unless you work for the show. After walking through the sets we traveled downtown to the waterfront to have some lunch. We walked around and saw some other places that were on the show. The cd store where tyler hilton worked on the show, Karen's cafe, the river court. I really enjoyed it and I wouldn't mind going back and even taking the tour again since new sets may be opened up or things may be different if we go back. Maybe when Courtney visits :) Today was a bad day for Steeler fans! Oh well, hopefully next time. Today was a lazy rainy day. I did manage to get to the Gap though finally to purchase my "red" shirt. Tomorrow is my interview for the job I don't even want. So again I'll be looking forward to it being over.. which it should be done by 10:30 at the latest! So wish me luck at making my way through it and having this hopefully over with. Everytime I think I can relax about it, something else happens to stress me out!

Your 2006 Summer Anthem Is

Stars Are Blind by Paris Hilton "I can make you nice and naughty Be the devil and angel too Got a heart and soul and body Let's see what this love can do Baby I'm perfect for you"

What's Your 2006 Summer Anthem?

Rough couple of days

Okay this is going to be short because I need to go to bed. The past few days and job hunting has been stressful. I got that interview, then the teacher i would be assisting calls me and tells me I'm too overqualified to be an assistant I should take her old teaching job. I don't really want to teach. That wasn't my goal here, I'm not even sure if its what I want to do in the long run. That's why I applied for assistant jobs, and for the fact that I won't be here that long. So I go in to see her class and talk to her today and its crazy. Big mess of stuff at her school and everything.. I won't go into details.. but it just stresses me out even more. Then I'm told to go to the main recruiting office to get some clearances, and of course I go there and ask about it, and they look at me like I'm crazy because that isn't the way it works. I'm so sick of this, and if I don't have a job with the schools by Christmas, I am definitely looking elsewhere after the holidays.. I don't need all this crap and stress. Makes me miss home even more and the good old subbing I had there and potentially a job at the only school where I ever really enjoyed teaching. Blah blah blah... okay enough complaining for now.. most of you already heard about it already. Nite!
