Update

Hello,

Haven't updates in a while (again), sorry. Work and school are the obvious goings on. Aside from that, Josh has taken up the hobby of photography. He receive his nice new camera via UPS today and was extremely excited. He was using a camera he borrowed from work, so it'll be nice for him to have his own now. He has been researching and watching numerous video and has gotten very good over a short period of time. Josh already had experience editing photos for work, so now he can take amazing pictures of his own to edit. :)

Josh an I will be moving to North Carolina for much of the summer. We'll both be working around 40 hours per week at EE. I'll be "organizing" thousands of boxes remaining from EE's move. I'm excited to go because it'll be nice just being the two of us and I really want to get to know the area. On the other hand, I'm going to miss Florida, family and friends :(
I look forward to everyone eventually moving to NC as well ;)

We'll come back to FL in August for Josh's last semester and move sometime after he graduates in December. After that, we will take the next steps God lines up for us. :)

Oh, an I've been reading some really great books :)

Tootles!

Oops...

Oopsies...
            It's been a while since I've posted. Again, life has been work and school, work and school.
Last week I got to see Becky participate in her first SAINTS track meet. She did very well. I had fun, but was hot and tired at the end.
           Also, Mom, Julie, Becky and I went out to Chili's on Saturday night. Then Julie and I organized and boxed stuff that Josh and I have been storing at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Now instead of having stuff all over the room, our boxes only take up the far wall area. >.<
I was surprised at how much we accomplished in just a couple hours. I couldn't have done it with out my sister!
            My mom went to church with Josh and I today because my dad is on a ski trip. It was nice to have her there :)

Ok, well that's about all!

Same old, same old

(This one actually WILL be short)

       So, last week I mostly worked. I think last Wednesday was the day I got to go out to dinner and shopping with my sister Julie.  Then Friday I had the privilege of chillin' with my nephew Jake which his Mommy, Daddy, and sister had fun at Disney.  We basically watched I Love Lucy all day... lol.  Then I got to see my mom for a little while as we changed shifts.  It was nice to hang out for a little while.  She also brought me a snack wrap and Hot fudge Sundae with extra hot fudge... :)
      Monday was Josh and I's 6 months of being married :) I had class in the morning and work at night, but we were able to go to Friday's for lunch <3
One unpleasantness (not Josh) almost killed the day, but I was able to move on.  If people want to be ... not nice, that's their problem.  Just because they're not happy, doesn't mean they have to bring me down too.
       ANYWAYS, I brought a book to read during my Tuesday class because being there is pointless, but she takes attendance :(  It's nice being able to call my mom while driving home on Tuesdays, though.  And finally today, Wednesday, I had my first dentist appointment in too long with a new dentist.  I like their office very much, and the hygienist was extremely helpful.  I will have to get my wisdom teeth pulled later this summer/early fall when my insurance will let me.  One tooth is almost all the way through.  I thought I'd never see this day come.

Okie doke.  Peace out homies.


P.S.  I have failed at taking a picture every day, and therefore forfeit my goal.  BUT I will still try to take pictures more often. So, continue to check out my photo blog every once in a while.

*Emmy's Creative Corner*

So, my sister-in-law Jenna showed me the most awesome thing and now my brain won't stop thinking about the possibilities!  I must share it with the world!

I don't really know how to explain, so I shall just show you.
How to make your own fabric wall decals!
And here's an example of just one of the hundreds of possibilities...

Jenna made a small bird with some fabric, and had the wing made of a different fabric and it was just so cute!  It sticks to the wall using a corn starch mix, and apparently comes off when you want it to really easily.  Any excess starch comes off with warm water.


************************************************************
      Ever wonder, "What the heck am I going to do with all these Christmas cards people sent me?... I don't want to just trow them away..."  Well, here are just a few ideas.  I particularly like the idea of making gift tags or book marks (so, don't be surprised if you get one with this year's Christmas letter...).  In elementary school, we made place mats similar to the ones on page 2.

This Christmas Star idea is cool too!

My Short & Sweet Just Isn't So.

       Saturday, I worked 12-5. And I BELIEVE that was the day Josh and I invested in a filing cabinet. :) yay! Ever since I worked for my brother, Nonnie, I love to file.  Well, maybe 'love' is too strong a word- I like to file.  I am one of those people who likes to keep things organized, but you can't always tell because I need help with the figuring out how.  I had been shoving stuff in a drawer because I had no where to file it and now I do :)
    Sunday, I believe was the day Josh and I went out to BJ's and ran into my dad there (of course).
              Monday was the first day of school for me (Josh started Tuesday).  I had a class at 9am and a class at 10am.  Then I had to wait in line for an hour to pick up a text book I bought online.  Turns out I received the wrong book, but I didn't realize until class on Tuesday.  I ordered and paid for the right one, but they gave me the book for another section of the same class. I worked that night and Josh visited :)
             So, Tuesday night Josh and I both had classes at 7:10PM and lasting until 10PM, but on different campuses, so we can't drive together.  It was Josh's first time driving to the Davie campus and he kinda got lost on the way... haha.  But I don't blame him because it is confusing.  He turned at the correct exit off the interstate, but on his path there is a Davie Blvd. and a Davie Road, and he got confused.
Anyway, my class is one of those freshman humanities classes (because apparently an "upper" humanity won't fulfill the requirement for a "lower" humanity).  Our class of 200+ people wouldn't shut up when the professor was trying to talk, so she just dismissed us early.
         I went to my sister's house on Wednesday for some much needed hang out time.  We had Mac&Cheese and watched I Love Lucy.  :)
Thursday was the day I went back to get the CORRECT text book.  Luckily Josh had class that day, and had a break around lunch time.  So I brought him lunch and we went to the book store to straighten things out.  Turns out the required text I paid for was the one without an online access code which I need.  So the new one was $22 more -.- meh.  I worked that night and Josh brought me food and he bought an Apologetics Study Bible.  It's very cool.
I don't remember Friday hahah
I worked Saturday.  I got up at 6:45 to do slides at church on Sunday.  That was interesting.... we had a guest worship team.  The leader has his own style, which is great, but a headache for the slides girl to try and follow.  Services went well though. At some point that afternoon, Josh decided to try to long board for the first time since he hurt his leg in October.  I told him I was not driving him to the ER this time (to that he said he would crawl there if he needed to).  So of course I follow him outside with my camera. ;) Fortunately he survived and I don't have any pictures of him lying on the ground in agonizing pain.  Later that afternoon, I couldn't keep my eyes open and ended up going into a mini coma-nap.  I passed out from 3 something til like 6:30.  Surprisingly I did manage to fall asleep again around or before 11pm, but Josh went in and out of the room at 4am or something and I couldn't fall back asleep after hearing him come back in.  So I finally left the room at almost 6 and doodled some bamboo and pandas haha, but I crawled back to bed at 7 something and ended up falling asleep again and couldn't move until 10. (That was today, Monday)  Thankfully I could sleep in because it's MLK Day, and I didn't have class this morning :)
I do have work tonight however.  Which is perfectly fine with me :)

Wow, I swore I wouldn't do the day-by-day thing this time and what did I do? ugh....
Maybe next time.....

And Josh took some pretty awesome pictures here.
