So I am at Great Wolf Lodge in VA now with Amy and her family.  Went spent a great day at Jamestown today.  Everything is going awesome.  The kids were trying to sleep so I decided to go to the lobby to talk with Mike online.  About 20 mins in this big black guy walks up to me and this is how it went ( Read more... )

So it looks like my luck has changed.  That speeding ticket was the first of it.  Last night Amy went to the open house that her friend was having for her new school (which is in Amy's old house).  She ended up talking to this guy who was looking for one more person with a degree to work an after school program called CASA at Hutchison Farms (which ( Read more... )

So things are hectic.  I start my online class today and I haven't sat down to read everything I need to yet.  I think I will do it tonight.  Try and get the kids down early so I have some time.  I am babysitting tonight while Amy and Tim go out ( Read more... )

Holy crap, I just realized I haven't updated since before I moved.  Oops ( Read more... )

Get the new Interpol album "Our Love to Admire".  It's a fantastic listen.  Mike and I are starting to get excited about TMBG coming to town.  I hope we get tickets.  I would love to see them again ( Read more... )

Fourth of July was fun.  We went swimming for a little while and I found a tree frog!  He was so awesome.  I had fun flipping my hand over and watching how he held on.  It rained a lot in the afternoon while we were trying to grill but it ended up ok.  Thursday night Mike and I finally went on a date that we had been promising each other for weeks ( Read more... )

I have had it with this new roommate that moved into Ashley's room.  She has people sleeping on our couch all the time, she's always bringing in new people to the apartment every night, she listens to her TV so loud it sounds like when Christina was there but the sad part is there is a wall and closed doors between our rooms, she leaves hair all ( Read more... )

So Amy's big move went well this weekend.  The house looks fantastic!  It took the movers three trucks and quite a bit of time to get everything over there.  We are still looking for Amy's clothes however . . . . I am excited and scared about moving there at the same time.  I really have to start packing things up and get out of the apartment soon ( Read more... )

Yesterday was absolutely awesome.  Best day ever even despite getting my butt burned!  Mike and I started off the day at 4:15AM.  We got up and packed the car and made some breakfast.  We then headed onto campus to watch the sun rise while sitting in front of McKeldin at the top of the mall.  It was really fantastic!  The sun hitting all the trees ( Read more... )
