My First Blog

Ok....well....everyone is doing it, so I might as well too....

So, I just moved down to sunny Florida! I have been here for almost 3 whole weeks! I moved all of my stuff to Orlando on June 17 and I have almost completely unpacked everything.

Christopher got me a beautiful Dalmatian puppy named Lacey for my graduation-from-college present. She is cute, but very annoying sometimes. She still has not figured out how to completely "go outside"-if you know what I mean.

I have already started my babysitting job. I work on Fridays and Saturdays. It is actually a pretty sweet job. I like it a lot!

I am looking to start teaching piano lessons really soon. Chris made an awesome website (lakenonapiano.com) for me and we got some business cards, among other things. I really hope it works out because that would be like my dream job.

Chris is still studying for the bar. He is working hard and passing all of his practice tests, which is completely awesome! I am looking forward to the day when he gets his bar-card because that will help out our future plans to roll into place. He is posting his resume online, and sending it out to as many places as possible, but they really want him to be barred before they will hire him. Everything is riding on this test.

We have had a lot of unfortunate things happen to us since I moved down here. We have been hit with bill after bill and finally Chris got an awesome job, that he could do from home on our computer, and then of course, the computer decides to quit on us. Right now, it is with Geek Squad, hopefully they can figure out the problem and fix it as soon as possible, without costing an arm and a leg.

I am really missing my family right now. It is hard knowing it is the summer and I am not spending it with them. I am really sad that I did not get to go on the annual trip out to Idaho to visit with my grandparents on my Dad's side. Oh well, I guess that is what happens when you grow up! :)

While I was driving in the car the other day, on my way home from babysitting, I was thinking...when did this all happen? When did I grow up? I am married, I have a house, I have real bills, I have a job (temporary, but it is still a job)...when did this happen? It seems like yesterday that I was hanging out with Ashley at a football game or going to a church dance with Rauchelle, Sarah and Anna. Or I was going running with Kristina at the school gym. Being an RA, taking piano lessons, dance lessons, being a Beehive class president...wow! I grew up fast!

Well, I suppose I will get on here in a few days and let you all know how life is going!
