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.

What Easter Candy Are You?

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!

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!
