What Season Are You?

You Belong in Summer

Energetic, creative, and very curious about the world... You're not going to let anything hold you back, especially a cold day. Whether you're chilling out at the beach or partying all night, you live for the warm weather.

What Season Are You?

A week and a day

Hey everyone!! Pretty soon Korey and I will be heading home.. I know you are all just sooo excited haha. Soon when I write stuff on here I'll be able to say that I just went and did something with YOU! YAY!... Right now Korey and I are waiting to here on what day next week the movers will be coming. It's kind of hard trying to figure out what all we need to pack up to take ourselves, and what we need to leave alone for the movers to pack. I look around and think that we have not done anything yet to get ready... and then I have to remind myself that must of the stuff I'm looking at the movers will be taking.
Today is Korey's last real day hopefully! He has his final test type thing he has to do. I told him when he gets home we are going to dinner and a movie to celebrate. The other good news is we got a GREAT gift the other day to give to give to some people for Christmas and I cannot wait to tell the lucky people what it is! I don't think any of those people read this, but just in case I do not want to ruin anything haha.
Well I guess that is enough for now... I can't wait to see everyone. Although I do not want to move to the cold weather... it's cold enough down here!! I got used to the no snow thing and I wouldn't mind keeping it that way! :)

PICTURES FINALLY

Hey everyone. I know its been awhile again. Soon Korey and I will be home. It's crazy to think but in less than 3 weeks we'll be moving. I figured since I haven't wrote anything in awhile, or put pictures up that I'd finally put some pictures up from our trip to Universal. I finally put them on my computer the other night. I tried to put them on here yesterday but for some reason it wasn't working. It seems to be working today though so enjoy the pictures! Korey and I have been out a couple times for Halloween in our costumes. Korey and his friends made ghostbuster costumes that seem to be a hit. They won second place last Sat. night at a costume contest. They won some money (which went to pay for some of the costumes) and they won some prizes (parasailing, jet ski rental, and coupon for some places). It was a fun time. We're going out again tonight I think but minus Korey :( He has a big test tomorrow that is 8 hours long so he doesn't want to be tired for it. I'll have to put pictures up some time when I get them on my computer :) Hopefully I'll do that sooner than I did with the Universal pictures haha :)

Life is definitely NOT fair...

Well I haven't wrote anything in awhile. I don't know why it's not really like I'm busy or anything. But I guess that could be why too... I don't really have anything exciting to write about. I figured I'd write something today and vent about the stupid news we got yesterday that pretty much "ruins my life". (sounds like a Courtney saying). By now anyone who reads this probably knows the crappy news. Korey did not get stationed where he wants to be. Not only did we not get stationed in GA where I was really hoping for... we also did not get WA. Which means Korey did not get the right kind of sub and he will be out for a lot longer than we planned. So instead of being out for around 2 1/2 months. He could be out for 6 months at a time or longer :( Which left yesterday being a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And today is not feeling much better either. It seems like Korey is always getting screwed when it comes to this stuff. First he did not get the other job he thought he would which would've meant he would never have to go out and just stay on land. Then we come down here and he doesn't get to start on time and he gets pushed back. Now... he doesn't get to be on what he wants to be on and we'll be away from each other for a lot longer than we thought. Right now... I think we're both starting to wish our life away so that it's about 3 years from now when all this crap is completely finished.
Okay... sorry that's enough ranting... Just figured i'd get it out, and put it on here since I hadn't written anything in awhile.. haha. Sorry!

I promise I will put Universal pictures up soon, I have not put the pictures from the cd onto the cmoputer. Maybe later I'll feel like it. We'll see though, I actually have to go to bed on time tonight. I am subbing tomorrow. One of my last few days of subbing. It would be my last day but I told another lady at an elementary school that I would sub for her. I'm still waiting to hear back from her though because I forgot I can only sub 2 of the 3 days she asked me to. So hopefully she emails me back soon. If not, I'll have to try and give her a call at the school. But that's enough now... I'm sure I've completely bored you. I'll try and write something a little more happier next....

Vacation is over

We're back from our trip to Orlando. We've actually been back since Monday. It was a Great trip. We went to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure and got to do a lot. We also went to a Disney water park: Typhoon Lagoon and we went to Pleasure Island one of the nights. I like Universal but I definitely know that I like Disney better haha. It was a fun trip though. I enjoyed getting away and spending time with Korey. We also went to the Universal Halloween Horror Nights. I'm not a huge fan of haunted houses because I am too easily scared. We went in a few of them and they definitely freaked me out. BUT!... The BEST part was the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW TRIBUTE!.. LOVED IT!.. It was so fun and good. Korey and I of course forgot something on our trip... and sadly it was the camera. So we paid way too much for a camera in the parks and I just dropped off the film today. I even ordered a picture CD with it so I can put them online easily. I can't go pick them up until Saturday though. So sadly... no pictures until then. But I'll try and put them up on Saturday if I can remember. I also need to take pictures of the new car finally now that Korey has all his Steelers stuff on it. He did not want me to take the pictures before then haha. Well I hope everyone else is doing well. Don't forget to go vote for Bella's picture. The contest ends next Tuesday and she needs as many 10's as she can get :)... Talk to you soon!

Give me a 10 for Cutest Pet

Give me a 10 for Cutest Pet

One Year

I don't have a lot new to write. I enjoyed the class I subbed in today. The teacher and assistant were great, even the lady I subbed for was great (she stopped in briefly haha). I discovered I like Chai Tea now (even with soy milk in it). But anyhow... I was just writing because I realized that today was ONE YEAR THAT WE'VE LIVED HERE. We moved in to our apartment on Sept. 20, 2006. We've got a few more months, then its back North for awhile... then who knows. But I just thought I'd share that it was a year you've all been away from me haha :) MISS YOU!!

While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done You're passionate - just selective about your passions

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

The trip to Universal is getting closer!

Hello everyone. Does anyone even still read this? haha Nothing much has changed as usual. Korey is still working on crazy shifts, and I'm still subbing. I've been in mostly special needs classrooms. I did manage somehow to get myself in a emotional and behavioral problem class which was different, and maybe not something I would want to do again. But it wasn't the end of the world either. I do enjoy having random days off some times when I can't find a job. I had this Monday off which was nice, but then I found a job for Tues. and that turned into a job for Wed. and Fri. and I already had one for Thursday... so now I'm set for the rest of the week. Which is good because it means some money for me, but bad because it means I can't sleep in! Although two of the three days I have left to sub I can sleep a little longer because the school doesn't start until later and its not too far away.
Korey and I went to dinner tonight with another couple. It was good. We went to a restaurant near the beach that we've gone to before. They have great burgers. It was a good time. Something different to do during the week. The rest of the night I think I'll try and spend finishing the two desperate housewives episodes I have left. Then I will be all caught up and ready for the next season when it starts.
So the exciting thing Korey and I are looking forward to is his four day weekend that is coming up soon. Sept. 28th. We are heading down to Orlando and going to Universal Studios and hopefully a Disney water park (depending on the weather). We are both looking forward to it. I keep counting down the days! 9 more! :) I really liked Universal when we went over Christmas but we tried to do both parks in one day and we missed some stuff. We definitely got to do a lot though since my dad bought us all the express pass and we got to bypass a lot of the lines! But this time we'll have at least two days to go to the parks and I think we're going to stay late one night and do their Halloween thing. So that's what's going on here. Hope everyone else is having a good time. And yay for Lisa who probably still reads this and will be done REAL SOON with her placement!
So I guess that's enough for now. Hopefully something interesting will happen to write about.
For now.. Here are some pictures

I need to write more

Once again it's been awhile since i wrote something. Sorry! :) I have subbed some since school started. I've only been in special ed classrooms so far. It's not exactly what I expected to be doing, but it's not too bad.. I am looking forward to when I'm done subbing though haha :)
Like usual, nothing exciting has happened. Korey and I haven't done much. His schedule is crazy and he hasn't had too many days off in a row again yet. Last Tuesday we did go celebrate his birthday though. We had to celebrate early because he had to work on his actual birthday. We went shopping so he could get the new Madden and we went for a walk on the beach, and then had dinner downtown. It was a pretty good day! Korey's on night shifts again which stinks. At least we get to see each other more than when he was on his 11-11 shift. Today the girls got together and went to the pool while the boys slept, and then after dinner we met up again to scrapbook. I haven't scrapbooked in a long time so it was nice to do it again. I'll have to try and do it more so I can get caught up! But enough boring stuff. Hopefully I'll have something more exciting to write about soon. But for now.. thats it haha!

Back to work and 3 day weekends

Well I had my first week of subbing. It did not go as bad as I thought it might. I was not looking forward to going back to work again. I really enjoyed my summer off. I could get used to the staying at home thing :) Anyhow... my first week of subbing I subbed 3 days in a special needs classroom at an elementary school. The class right now only had 2 kids, and the teacher I worked with was great. So it was not bad at all. I also got a job for all of next week doing the same thing but at a High School. We'll see how that goes. I'm a little more nervous about doing this one because it's older kids.... but it can't be that bad?! I'm sure after the first day it will get easier. I gave myself Monday off so I can spend time with Korey because he has a 4 day weekend right now. So I made myself a 3 day weekend!
So far on our long weekends we've gone to dinner with friends, saw a movie (well just the girls saw a movie... the boys preferred not to see The Nanny Diaries), went to a water park, had dinner again, played games, and relaxed. Today's only Sunday so we have today and tomorrow to still do some things. Today we are planning a trip to Target haha and then watching the Steeler game because it will actually be on TV here! Tomorrow we might take Bella to the dog park and then I'm going to stop in at the school I worked at last year to give them my number in case they need a sub! Then on Tuesday its back to work for both of us. Korey will be on his mids shift so he'll be at work from 11-11. Which will be interesting, because that means I'll only really see him for a few hours in the morning. But that's okay it will only be for a four days then I'll have the weekends off so I can see him when he's home a little more. These weird shifts bug me! :) But that's okay. At least on the next 4 day weekend we're going to Universal- I can't wait!. I guess that's enough for now I'm going to go play a game on my computer or something since Korey is playing on his. Talk to everyone later I hope!

Subbing... ugh

Hello everyone. It's been awhile again. Sorry! I really haven't been doing too much. Just the same old stuff. Going to the pool during the day and relaxing. But... all that is about to end. School started today :(. I don't know when I'll get my first subbing call but I am not looking forward to it. We need the money so I have to try and sub at least 4 days a week once school gets going, but I really would rather not. haha I guess I'll really be looking forward to the weekends again! The good thing is that Korey has a lot of the weekends off now. It's nice that his breaks fall on weekends because then we can do stuff together. This weekend I think we are going to go to one of the water parks here. Each of the three county parks have a water park at them and we have been wanting to go for awhile now-so we figured we better go before summer is completely over.
Today I have a list of things I need to do , but right now I'm watching Pride and Prejudice. We read the book for book club and now I'm watching the movie. I had a hard time getting into the book, and didn't really like it too much, but the other people in the book club told me to watch the movie and it would help me like it better. But anyway.. for now that's all I have to write I guess :)

Random Quote

I was up late again... couldn't sleep. But I don't have anything really that exciting to write about. Korey and I went to the pool today.. woohoo haha. We went because it was sooo stinking hot out- somewhere in the upper 90's. But anyhow, since I didn't really have anything to write about, and I was watching old One Tree Hill episodes, I figured I'd post a quote I liked from the show. At least looking up quotes gave me something to do for awhile haha.

"You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you, how many moments of other peoples lives have we been in, were we a part of someone's life when their dreams came true, or were we there when their dreams died. Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there, or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it."

Something to think about...

I hate night shifts!

Korey is now doing shift work and the night shift stinks. Of course he gets the night shift as his first full shift!! He works from 7:30 pm- 7:30 am. He usually gets home around 8:15 in the morning and then goes to bed until around 3ish. At least that is what he did yesterday which was his first night on this shift. I tried staying up with him the other night when he was trying to adjust his sleeping pattern. I made it til about 4 o'clock then I fell asleep. Korey made it til 7 but he also took an hour nap which I did not take haha. Last night I tried staying up again until he got home. It was hard, especially here by myself- even Bella gave up and went back to her den to sleep. I read Harry Potter, talked to people online until they all went to bed, played some games online, and watched 3 episodes of Desperate Housewives. I gave up and let myself fall asleep somewhere around 5:30. I slept on the couch until Korey woke me up... then I went back to bed and slept til 3... ICK Sleeping during the day is a weird feeling. Waking up that late makes me feel like I wasted the whole day even though I did a lot the night before. Tonight I'm going to try and go to sleep earlier because I really need to go downtown tomorrow and get my subbing card. I can always take a nap in the afternoon if I want. I'm hoping to go downtown with the girls again tomorrow but I haven't heard from them yet... I need to give them a call!
Sorry this post has been pretty boring. I really doubt anyone wanted to know how I spent my last few nights haha. I am getting sooo close to finishing HARRY POTTER! I like this book and I'm hoping to finish it tonight. It is kind of sad though because I know there won't be any more harry potter books.
But enough ranting for tonight!

Messing around

Okay... It's been awhile again.. I know! SORRY! Sarah and Tom have been here visiting so I have been trying to be a good host and I have not been online that much. Tonight though Sarah helped me make a myspace page (Like I really needed something else to mess around with on the internet!) so I was on the computer a lot trying to get that all figured out. But in the process of doing myspace stuff I thought.. Hey... I can probably use most of that stuff on my blog. So here are some Bella pictures in a slide show that I made for my Myspace page and I am now also adding on here. So it's not anything too super exciting... but it's something for those of you who actually do check and read this sometimes! :).. ENJOY!

I like Friday's

So it's Friday already. I can't believe the last time I wrote something was on Sunday, it does not seem like it was that long ago. The week's go by too fast. I want them to slow down because in a month if all goes well I'll be subbing and have to actually be working during the day again.. ugh. I'd like to stay at home the next three months until we move, but I don't think Korey or our bank account would like that too much! :) The subbing process here is CRAZY though... There are so many forms to fill out, and things to do, and I even have to go to a 2 day full days work shop on subbing.. and i HAVE A FREAKING TEACHING CERTIFICATE.. but unless its from this state they don't care which ticks me off... but anyhow. I got my TB shot today which is something I had to do in order to turn my papers in to sub, and I fixed up my resume... now basically all I have to left to do before I turn my stuff in is get two letters of recommendation that i'm working on getting. But sometimes it's hard to get ahold of people. Anyone enough ranting.
Harry Potter comes out tomorrow... or tonite at 12... I'm debating whether to try and go tonight. I did not pre-order a book or anything. So I'm hoping if I do go I can still get one... but I don't know. I don't want to drive over there and be told I can't get a book cause I didn't order one. I cannot imagine they will sell out though, that would be nuts... even though I know people are waiting like crazy for this book.
Sorry I still do not have pictures of the car up on here. I have not taken any yet. Korey takes it with him during the day to work so I'll have to try and remember this weekend to take some and put them on here.
Well I guess that is all for now. Sarah and Tom are coming to visit next week. I'm hoping they have fun vacationing with us :)
BYE FOR NOW!

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
