up

went to dinner and a movie tonight with a few fantastic people... sparker (the sis in laws bff) & W (the sis in laws boyfriend) and M (another guy friend of the fam). loads of fun. 4 random people going out together to a movie, and having a blast. we saw UP in 3-D which was AWESOME. i def cried 3 times. loved the story. was so happy in the end. and got some sweet glasses. it was a fun night. and a fun day. its been a lonnnng one.

i did my practice talk this morning for the leaders of the girls retreat i am working later in the summer. that went well. then enjoyed a carefree afternoon chatting with the Robster. then had dinner with her and then headed to the movie. a great, fun, long day.

im off to bed so i can wake up for church, lunch, then a nice long 5 hour drive home.

looking forward to going home to a house though!! no internet though. so ill have to post again monday. but anyway.

another successful trip home to GA. (even if its the west side of the state).

love & peace

the inlaws to be... enjoying some quality time with them.
they are GREAT, fantastic folks so its been lots of fun so far!

tomorrow we have a mtg for the girls retreat i am working this summer. the one im giving a talk about being single. tomorrow i am previewing my talk.... so tonight i wrote it. with sparker (the sis in laws bff) and 'rob' (the mom in law). her real name is not rob. no worries. anyway. its been an entertaining night.

not to much to say. except im SOOOO wanting to go see the movie UP. im hoping i can convince a few folks to go with me tomorrow.

tomorrow ry leaves for the lake. we had to say our goodbyes today. but ill prob see him in a couple weeks. so it was not too bad.

ummmm thats about it.

peace & love

hellO wOrld.

let me update you on my life.

1. ONLY ONE MORE WEEK AT WORK!!! (and thats 3 days!!) at work on the current floor. then its off to the craziness of the ER! woohoo

2. no internet at the house. still not getting it for a while. BUT i did apply for a coupon for a converter box for our TVs in the house. apparently if i do that I will get like an additional TEN channels!! and the coupon is 40 bucks off. and i priced them today...and found a few for 50 bucks. so 10bucks for a clear picture of 14 channels. YES PLEASE!! at least until august and i got another person to help pay the bills! ;)

3. going to stay with the "in-laws" this weekend. i have a chrysalis meeting saturday in richmond hill... so ill be staying with them, which i am excited about. should be lots of fun hanging out with the rob-ster. she is one fabulous lady! and ill get to see sparker.

4. ryan leaves tomorrow. quite sad about that one. not sure the next time we will see each other. but there are a lot of letters in our future.

5. my bff sara is awesome. AND so are her grandparents! they sent me a "cookie bouquet" of flowers. they were cookies shaped like flowers. SOOOo cute!! soooo great! i LOVE them!! and i love her g-rents. FANTASTIC folks! just showing me some love. how awesome are they!!

6. my house im coming along. and i love it.

7. last night Ry & I started a puzzle. call us old foggies, but dude. we spent last night watching our 2 fuzzy channels on TV and started our awesome puzzle. its of times square. looks sooo cool.

8. thats about it. hope you are all great!! life is good.

peace & love

no internet...

.... is good. and its bad. really bad. id much rather have internet than cable. so i may be making a few phone calls in the next few weeks. but first im going to talk to the neighbors. i mean i live in a duplex. doesn't it make sense that we share internet... IN THE SAME HOUSE! im going to see if we can split it. bc dude. internet is like 30bucks... and cable. holy cow! thats out of this world! who knew bills were so much! so def no cable. which isn't bad. i get the 4 local channels... does anyone know if i will def loose them when the "cable switches to digital"?? i dont use an antenna. i just have a cable plugged into my tv. i really dont want to buy that box thing. so yeah. anyway. no cable... not so bad. but no internet kinda sucks. at least there is internet at work... and i am at work 3 days a week... so not too shabby! ummmmm what else.

oh right. i moved. and im LOVING the new house. LOVE It! its fully furnished and all set up... in almost the ONLY way it will go. the house is interestingly shaped so furniture kinda only goes one way... but it works, and so far looks great. im hoping to this summer transform our house into something out of a "World Market" magazine.
1. i love world market and want everything inside the store
2. ry & i have TONS of cool stuff from all over the world. so its time to display them.
we shall see how it goes... i have high expectations though. haha....

anyway. 4 days until the new job. 4 work days. in reality 2 weeks....
ryan leaves saturday for yes LAKE JUNALUSKA!! how awesome is that. he will be there 10 weeks working at a church, livin at the lake, and workin at the methodist museum there. should be a super awesome summer for him!! (: ill be here working. decorating. and am now scheduling visitors!! come see me!! im only 3 hours from the beautiful mountains OR 2 hours from the BEACH! take your pick!! we could even venture to the outer banks for a couple more hours,.... really. the possibilities are endless!

and youd probably love my little cabin in the woods. (: its cute. and cozy. and we have lots of deer.

hmmm. i guess thats all.

until next time (whenever that may be!)

peace & love

oh and once i finally get internet ill post pics!

the big move

was a success. me and all of my belongings (except for clothing & school books) are into the new house!! mom and brother brought a uhaul full of things that ry and i needed... 2 dressers, lazyboy recliner, big grown up desk, awesome desk chair, bookcase, "china cabinet" (sorta thing) and lots of other good fun things. (:

after that we went back to my house and loaded up a trailer (TWICE) with all the other furniture: 2 couches, tables, chairs, outdoor furniture, tvs, beds, benches, oh heavens i have a lot of stuff. but at least we furnished an ENTIRE HOUSE without buying a thing. granted nothing matches, but dude... it has a LOT of personality. and well ry and i will make it awesome. ill be posting pics soon. its super exciting! i loooveeeee it!! and finally after opening some windows and putting some plug ins in the wall... it smells delightful! :) last night was the first night in the house- and i slept like a champ!

i am looking forward to tomorrow... working in the new house (and the old one! im trying to get rid of half of my clothes and almost ALL of my schoool books. i DONT want to move them!) alsoooooo ry and I are going strawberry picking!! dude im super super excited about this one! (sara and john if you guys come here... ill take you!! haha!)

anyway. hello to all of you out there. especially those in south floridia. i SO wish i was there... on the BEACH! after things get settled in and i do the wedding invitations (YIKES) im planning a day trip to the north carolina beach. .... i need a TAN!

ok. thats enough random rambling.

sara. i misssssssss you. hello john. since you now read this. hi mom. paula its been ages since weve talked... well like a week. but i do miss you. and hello to the rest of you.
have a lovely memorial day.

love & peace

one more thing. soon to be sister in law A left YESTERDAY for Costa Rica... for a FIVE WEEK trip. she is starting language school, living with a family, and doing lots of awesome stuff... but needs your prayers. for peace. for safety. to find friends. to have fun. and her mom could use some too!!!

MOVING

this makes the FIFTH may in a ROW... (as in five years straight) that i have moved in may. ughhhh. but can i just say. this might be my last move for TWO YEARS! dude!! that part is super ubber exciting!!! (: yay!! but its still a drag.

mom and brother R are coming up to help today.
anyone who wants to help is welcome!! come on up! we have room!!
tomorrow is the unloading/moving day.

since i have TWO months to transition... im taking advantage of that and living in two houses right now. but this weekend is to move ALL the furniture. stuff that wont fit in the xterra/ school bus that i drive.

anyway. i dont think mom is too thrilled about the moving part. hopefully i can keep her entertained by doing organizing things and she will leave the heavy lifting to R and me. anyway.

last day of my 3 in a row today!!
only 6 days of work until im in the ER!!

ryan is coming through durham next week!! so i get to spend a full day with him- then a couple evenings!! before he heads to lake junaluska for the summer.

i have an awesome best friend!! (: sf rocks my world. and because of her i have a new friend! jd. and jd is pretty darn awesome. has a lot of wisdom. and is cool/fun to be around.

umm i think im done rambling. going to eat breakfast. then do more work. haha...

peace & love.
