so... six non-important things/habits/quirks about me:
(...i cheated & used the first part of my sister's answers)
1- my two biggest fears are...bugs larger in size than a penny, and haunted houses
2- i am severly...left handed - i do many things backwards
3- i am totally addicticed to...the limited. i find it very difficult to buy clothes at any other store and actually enjoy them.
4- i could live on...mexican food (one beef enchilada & rice, and the chips & salsa...and a large strawberry daquiri)
5- i love to...clean. i enjoy doing dishes, (that way i know they're actually clean), doing laundry and getting it all done in one day (more mine than anyone elses), and cleaning my house (although i prefer to have all day to do this one too).
6- i long to...keep up with this 5K training, and be able to run it all come spring time!

Wedding Pictures
I received a CD with all of my wedding pictures on it the other day, so if anyone would like a copy of it or would like me to send you a few, let me know! I have permission to copy it or print the pictures on my own...so I'd be more than happy to send them out!
Just looking through them made me realize how great of a time I had that day. I really was on top of the world all day long - it was great to see everything come together. It surprised me that everything went so smoothly! I am so greatful of EVERYONE who could be there and everyone who helped me out through that stressful wedding planning. I do not have one bad thing to say about July 12th, 2008 :) It was simply a great day....
Okay, away from the sappy stuff...
I'm enjoying my clean house. This may sound strange, but I love the Sundays where I actually clean clean everything in my house - sheets, floors, dusting, vaccuuming, dishes, kitchen, everything. I feel very accomplished & now its time to relax!
Hope everyone has a great week & Thanksgiving!

Hilarious!
Alright, I hardly ever post/forward funny videos...but this one is hilarious! Please watch this because these goats crack me up every time!

PS...I'm waiting on a phone call/email from my Dad or Mike informing me of the origin of these things.

A Few Things....
Here are a few things I've realized....
1. I obviously stink at blogging (thanks for the hint sister). Since starting this trend, I've managed to write one blog per month...that's pretty sad. Again, I'm going to try and do better, but I'm not making any promises. :) Maybe if I had adorable kids to write about every day, the funny things they said or did, I'd do better with this. I just figured no one wants to hear about my "newly-wed" life....what's for dinner, who's going to do the laundry/dishes, who had a harder day at work, etc. However, since making a trip to Roanoke a few weekends ago, I noticed my Dad has mine & my sister's blog on his favorite places!! I was shocked!!
2. I've been meaning to send my sister the pictures from the zoo; however, my computer is acting funny & won't let me send pictures. Soooo here is the link to my album on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2224997&l=aafb8&id=68128834
3. I'm also in on this "Run a 5K by Spring Time" train with my sister. It's pretty difficult to do when my schedule changes so much (sometimes I have to be at work at 7, sometimes not till 8:30ish, etc). And the fact that its been about 10 degrees outside the last couple mornings, and my bed feels juuuuust right, it has taken a lot of motivation. Monday I got up early enough in the morning to go for my walk/job thing, Tuesday I managed to do so after I got home from work, but today...was my day off. I'll have to make up for it this weekend, and since we're not heading out of town, I'll be able to do so.
So to catch up no my life....
Two weekends ago we met the Battels in Roanoke for a weekend get-together. We had such a good time! The Mill Mountain Zoo was fun when I was little...then it got boring as I got older...but seeing my neices & nephews enjoy it just as much as I used to was amazing. I wish they could've seen Ruby the Tiger or the Prarie Dogs (which I'm furious they took away, they were the cutest thing!), but I'm glad that they still have all the pathways from the parking lot to the zoo, and the Zoo-Train...I could go on and on about how good of a time I had. At first when I saw that they had added a playground, I was a bit baffled, but the kids loved it (minus Ella & her slide accident). Anyway, the only thing I wish would to have had my Dad there :( The girls kept talking about Pop Pop on the train. Its funny the connections they make as they walked over the train tracks or waiting to ride the train.
Last weekend, we ended up driving to Charlotte to visit his family. We had another great weekend hanging out at his sister's house and just relaxing. It was cute seeing Addy, my neice on his side, starting to grow up. She's moving around on the floor and saying a couple words.
These last couple of weekends were great. It was nice seeing both his family and mine, and I'm looking forward to the holidays!! All the stores are decorated for Christmas, which has gotten me all excited!
Anyway, I've managed to ramble on for quite some time now...I'm going to read back over what I wrote, so please feel free to edit my blog (Dad). Its getting late & I've gotta be up by 5:30 tomorrow morning :( (which means no run in the morning sister). Goodnight!

It's October Already!
I cannot believe it's already October!
We went out today and bought some mums and pumkins for our front porch. I felt pretty "wifey" planting the mums in our clay pots...and our front porch looks great :) If only it felt more like fall outside - I'm tired of these 80 degree days!
It was so nice having a weekend in town with nothing to do. We went to the hockey game on Friday night - it was the Season Opener for the Hurricanes and pretty crowded. We even convinced Carly to come with us...we've turned her into a hockey fan!! On Saturday, I clean cleaned the house -- mopped the floors, vaccuumed, laundry, everything. I felt so accomplished! Afterwards though I was wornout. Joseph attended the monthly Saturday night poker game (the ladies play on Friday, the men on Saturday). I caught up on my dvr's and was asleep by 9:30. Some may call that lame - but that was the best sleep I've gotten in a while! :)
This will be my 9th (of 12) week of work. I absolutely love the people I work with. Some of us went to see Nights in Rodanthe last week (Don't waste your time. Stay at home and watch The Notebook). We had a great time overall though. It doesn't really feel like work being around such funny ladies - they constantly keep me laughing.
We made a trip to Roanoke last weekend. It was Virginia Tech's Homecoming Game, so we decided to make a quick trip home. I definitely wish we could've made it a longer trip. We stayed Friday night with my parents and Saturday with his. It was nice being around the mountains too - I never realized how beautiful they are until I moved away!
Anyway, I promise I'll *try* to start writing more. If only my life was a little more interesting...wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch The Young & The Restless :), and go to bed. ...That about sums it up!!
PS - I'd like to say Hello to my sister since we don't really ever get a chance to talk for more than 5 minutes. I Miss You!!

New House & Such
So dispite Hurricane Hannah...we got everything all moved in! We only had a few little setbacks, but nothing major. The movers ended up coming a little later than planned due to rain, and Dish Network decided they were going to close because of weather. By ten am, it was bright and sunny! So I put on my "tough guy" face and yelled & complained to Dish Network until they sent someone out here (I get that from my Dad) :) So we got everything unpacked & in its place in one weekend. Thank goodness! It's actually starting to feel like home. For a while it just felt like we were on vacation.
Work is still going well - I'm in my 5th week of training. Its so weird to think I've been there over a month! I'm starting to know my way around the hotel and feel like a "manager." Its great!
Its official! I am a college graduate! Even though I finished my classes in June, I just got my diploma in the mail yesturday. I kept having this nightmare that I had forgotten one credit or something, and maybe I didn't graduate. But Nope! I still can't believe that I actually graduated, but I'm sure it will hit me soon enough. It's weird to watch Va Tech football games and not be there! We're trying to make it in town for the October 4th Homecoming Game, so maybe then my "Alumni Status" will sink in.
