Sick... ICK!

Well today I woke up at 3 a.m. with a sore throat and a headache. I took some medicine and crawled back into bed hoping I could sleep and make it better in a few hours. When Korey woke up to get ready a little over an hour later, I still felt like crap. I managed to get myself out of bed though around 6:30 and get ready for work. I took some more medicine in the morning and kind of felt better during the beginning of the day except for the sore throat. As the day wore on and the kids drove me more nuts... I started to feel more sick and achey. I came home and just laid around doing NOTHING. It's sad. I've started to try exercising again on a good schedule, and today just didn't work out for me. Poor puppy too had to lay around in her den all day and then lay around with me all evening. Now that Korey is home maybe he'll have some energy to play with her. I just feel soooo drained of energy and my throat hurts real bad. One more day of work this week, I can't wait for the weekend! It kind of stinks that I didn't feel good today since it was 75 freaking degrees out! I felt bad that Bella didn't get to go out and play since it was so nice.

I'm really looking forward to the month of March right now, there is so much going on! Lisa comes down at the end of Feb/beginning of March and we get to go to Savannah that first weekend and explore. Then the next week Courtney comes and we get to venture to see OTH sets again :) Then the week after that Kody might come visit, he's not sure yet, but the weekend of St. Patrick's day we're talking about going to Savannah again with friends. Then finally on the 24th is the One Tree Hill Charity Basketball Game that I am soooooooo excited for.

I really do need to add some more pictures, but that probably won't happen tonight. Sorry! I'll do it soon. I promise :)

Great Trip Home!

Hey everyone. I just saw most of you who even read this! Korey and I had a great trip home this weekend, even though there was snow everywhere haha. Korey was happy that he got to see snow, I would not have minded if I did not see it at all this winter! It was a short but great trip home. I'm glad we went! I got to spend time with pretty much everyone even if it was only for a little bit. Korey and I had lunch with my family and Lisa on Saturday and then we went to his Grandma's for dinner and out with our friends that night! It was great to see everyone again! I'll have to add some pictures later (I didn't put them on the computer yet). Sunday Korey and I went to church and then we had lunch again with my family and went to see his cousins new dog. That night we had dinner at his house and watched a movie. It was a whirlwind weekend. We're hoping that maybe we can go home again around Memorial Day but we'll see how that works out. For now we're looking forward to people coming down for Spring Break trips.

Also... I'm sooo excited and I'm going to have to start counting down until the days I get to go watch the ONE TREE HILL CHARITY BASKETBALL GAME! It's not 'til the end of March but I cannot wait haha. I'll definitely have pictures from that!

Well I guess that's all for now. I miss everyone bunches and I'll write more later, and hopefully I'll get some pictures added!

Weekends almost over already

Well it's Sunday again which means back to work tomorrow.... ugh! I actually don't mind going to work, I would just rather be at home. This weekend was nice, nothing too eventful. Yesterday Korey went in to school to study and I went down town and shopped with two other girls here. I didn't buy anything. Today Korey went in to study again so I'm just sitting around hanging out with Bella. Korey did get my new desk put together though which is exciting!
One more week until we go home! Aren't you all excited to see us? Make the cold weather go away before we get there!
Oh.. to update you on RENT it was GREAT!! I loved loved LOVED it! I don't know though which I like better, the show or the movie. I like them both so much! Another update, I thanked everyone for my bday gifts last time, and then the next day I got another one. Thank you Ashley for my blanket that will keep me warm until it gets warm here again!
Well that's all I got now. Like I said we didn't do too much this weekend! Bye for now!

Semi-warm day today

Hey everyone! sorry its been awhile again! Today was in the 60's which was nice here, especially since i keep hearing about how COLD it is at home. I'm looking forward to going home in a week, but I am not looking forward to the cold weather!

To update you on our boring life, Korey and I went out to eat for my birthday this weekend downtown, and then we went out with a couple friends afterwards. It was a good time! I got a lot of great stuff and cards from people for my bday! Thank you to Lisa who gave me the opportunity to finally go buy some new clothes for myself, which i honestly have not done in awhile. Thank you to Courtney for my lovely poem! Thanks to Sarah because her Christmas present was also my bday present and it was awesome! Thanks MOM! I LOVE books and chocolate haha and now I have some extra spending money :) I know I didn't mention every one that sent me stuff, but I don't think anyone else reads this. If you do read this, and I didn't mention you... Thanks! and yell at me sometime and let me know :)

Tonight Korey and I are going to go see RENT. It was one of my Christmas presents and I am very excited that its finally here! I've wanted to see this show for a long time. I loved the movie. Even though I don't get to see it on Broadway this is the next best thing! I'll have to let you know how it is, I probably can't take pictures. (I'll take my camera anyway tho)

Well I guess that is all for now. Hope everyone is staying warm back home. We'll be there to join you in the cold weather in about a week, and then some of you (Courtney and Lisa) can come join us in the warmer weather!

Just remember... It's almost Friday :)

Is it Friday yet?

I think that may have been a title to one of my other posts before... but its really how I feel this week!! The teacher I work with is still not feeling well and she was out today, and she'll be out Tuesday and Wednesday for sure also... and she may even be out Thursday and Friday all depending on how she feels. I want her to get better, but I also want her to come back to school!! The kids have been behaving but they are still four years old, and it makes the day sooo long. I did have a sub for half of the day today but when they're not used to the routine it still makes it hard.

But enough about that. Korey and I had a nice weekend. Saturday was pretty relaxing. Korey has a test tomorrow so he went in to school to study Sat. morning and I actually did some scrapbooking while he was gone. When he got home we washed his car (fun fun...) and we went to Target. Doesn't that sound so exciting? haha. Sunday Korey went in to school again to study and I sat around.. and also washed some clothes... :) Then we watched a bunch of LOST episodes at night and went to sleep so we could start another crazy week! Tomorrow should be nice though since Korey won't stay long after his test. So anyhow.. thats my update for the weekend. I'll have to let you know if I survive the week! I think I'm going to need a vacation after this week!

Short and Sweet

Hey everyone! I'm off to bed cause its late late late but I wanted to write something before I went. Today was a crazy day for me! The teacher I work with was sick and I was in the room by myself with all twenty of our four year olds!! I managed to actually get some work done but I also did take them out for an extra recess! I'm just glad it was Friday and that I survived. Noone threw up today and noone had any accidents haha. Korey and I went to Sticky Fingers tonight and then we came home to watch a movie. We both ended up falling asleep at different parts during the movie, but we managed to wake up and finish the movie! (It wasn't really that good though.... we were watching Crank). Well as the title says, this is going to be short and sweet! So I will definitely write more later this weekend...I just wanted to at least write SOMETHING tonight. Love you all (and I seriously just typed in ya all before changing it.. WOW.. but I PROMISE I never say it!!). Night! :)

layout for myspace

Colder, but NO SNOW!

Hey everyone. Once again its been awhile since I wrote something. I really need to do some more interesting things so I have something to write about. Most of the time I just go to school during the day and work, and then I come home and go to the gym and watch some t.v. or just relax with Korey. Weekends go by too quick!! I'm looking forward to summer.... as long as we get to stay down here! This weekend Korey and I just relaxed Friday night and didn't really do anything at all haha, and then last night we met some friends to eat at Moe's and then went bowling. I did pretty good bowling...I actually broke 100 both games which is good for me haha! :) After bowling we all went to one of our friends houses to play a new game which was interesting! I liked it, but it was different than the games I'm used to playing. It was called Settlers of Catan. We played until about 2.am. then came home and went to bed after finally feeding the dog some dinner!!
Last week was nice for work because we had Monday off and then Thurs. and Fri. were just teacher work days... so the students were only there 2 days. It was a nice easy week. Now its back to everyday like normal again for the next 4 weeks...blah! Then during the next day off we get to GO HOME! YAY... I know you're all so very excited about that! Well... I hope thing are goign great for everyone else. I'll try and write things more often because I know you don't have anything better to do than read this :) (yeah right!). Have a good week, maybe this time I'll write before its the weekend!

Here are some pictures I took this weekend while walking at the beach!

It's going to be warm again this weekend!

wow.. sorry guys, I didn't realize I had gone so long without writing anything. A whole week! haha. Last weekend Korey and I ventured to the Aquarium here. The animals there were basically animals from around here, but it was still fun. Korey enjoyed the big turtles. Courtney would probably like it. We're trying to do as much of the things around the area as we can while we live here. School was okay this week but the kids really seemed to get on our nerves. I'm definitely glad tomorrow is Friday though! This weekend I'm not sure what we're doing. Probably going to see a movie? haha and hang out with Korey's friends one night. Sorry I don't have anything too exciting to write about. I've just been working, going to the gym, watching LOST, and playing the SIMS.. how exciting huh :).. Well I'll let this be a short entry. Enjoy your weekends! :)

I miss Disney and Family!

Well one more day of work this week. I'm glad it was a short week to start back with. The kids have not been too bad so its been good, and my cold is better which helps. I'm still in the missing Disney World mode and already trying to figure out when I can go back!! I miss my family and friends too. But at least I know I'll get to see them again in February! Right now i'm just kind of hanging out with Bella before I head over to the gym. I'll probably play some SIMS :) also. Korey bought me the Sims 2 for Christmas and now that I have a nice new laptop and the game runs sof fast and nice on it, i'm SUPER addicted to the game haha. I think I've played it every day since we've gotten back from Disney, and I played it all day Christmas day too pretty much. I really don't have a whole lot to write about, but I wasn't really doing anything right now so I figured I'd write a little something. I don't really have any New Years Resolutions to write about, but Korey and I decided that we were going to make a list of things we would LIKE to do this year, and then we'll see how much of it we get done (of course we haven't had time to write it yet) haha. When we write some things down maybe i'll post a few on here for fun! Hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy your breaks from school if you still have them! Everyone will be coming to visit on their breaks soon I hope!

Here are some more Disney pics because I LOVE DISNEY!













Main Street Magic Kingdom was all decorated and beautiful! Tigger is a must see at Disney. Naked Santa was from Pleasure Island... he was just fun! :)

I wish it was still break!

Well tomorrow is back to school day... ugh! I really enjoyed my Christmas break. I just wish it could have been a little longer. This is one of those times I still wish I was in college because I'd have more break left! Christmas was great here and Disney was even better! I LOVE Disney World. We managed to cram all 4 parks into 4 days and did quite a bit. I got to ride most of the rides I wanted and I hope everyone else who went really had fun too. I'm glad I got to see my family and Lisa it was a good time! Korey got sick the last day we were there though and he had to miss going to Epcot. It was sad but he's feeling a lot better now! We also got to go to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We managed to try and cram those to parks into one day and pretty well. It helped that most of the parks were open pretty late because it was the holidays. Korey and I came back New Years Eve and went downtown with some people. It was a good time! Probably one of my more favorite New Years! Now we're just trying to enjoy our last night of vacation by sitting around and doing nothing. I think once we get back into things it will be easier, but right now I am not looking forward to it at all. This month is going to be a messed up month for me when it comes to school. We have a 3 day week this week, then we go all next week, then the week after that I have an in service meeting on Monday, go to school Tues. and Wed. and then just have teacher work days Thurs. and Fri. It will be nice to have some days off, but it might be harder to get back into a routine. I'm already looking forward to the summer when I don't have to work!! Well enough for now! I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas!
.

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!
