Ramble on... Sing my song

Today was my last day volunteering at Gretchen Everhart.  For now, anyway.  I've been in a middle school class for the last couple months.  I usually do one-on-one stuff with students.  It's fun, and a little intense.  Sometimes students try to throw chairs, etc., but I really have enjoyed it! I also learned a ton, and I know that I for sure want to major in Elementary and Special Ed.  (Gretchen Everhart is a school for students ages 3-22 with disabilities).

Also, I hate group projects.  We have presentations starting on Thursday, and today we found out that we actually have to present way less stuff than we thought, so half of us already did like four times the amount of work that is required.  Oh well, better to be over-prepared and delete 3/4 of the PowerPoint than to not have enough material.

And I finally went to the eye doctor and got some more contacts.  It's like I have eyes again!  I had forgotten they were blue...  After wearing glasses for about two or three months, I never wanna wear them again!

And I have about had it with these roaches.  Giant.  Flying. Roach.  For real.  It was crawling on one of the kitchen chairs while I was doing too much work on my project last night, and I about died.  This, of course, wasn't as scary as the roach ON MY NECK when I got out of the shower a few weeks ago.  We aren't filthy people, I swear!  Although, the smell in our kitchen and laundry room begs to differ.  It's a smell that no amount of cleaning and air freshener will get rid of.  I really wanna move.  Like today.  But our lease isn't up until August...

I had a good weekend, though.  We road-tripped it down to Orlando with Chris and Kendal, and met up with Brett and Freya on Friday night.  We got there about 11 p.m., went to bed about midnight, and got up at 6:10 and got to the temple before 8! haha.  Chris had to be back in town by four, and Chris and Kendal are just morning people in general.  It was a super fun trip!  I didn't take any pics, so I'll have to get those from Kendal and Freya.  Not sure if I'll post 'em though, cuz it was super windy when we left.  I'm sure I look a bit scary blowing in the wind.  Also, we went to the baptism with Chris and Kendal at four, got home after five, fell asleep around six, and slept through the night. It was crazy.

Anywho, I'm excited for Easter weekend.  We will be heading to good ole Marianna on Friday and spending the weekend with the in-laws!  Should be fun!

Well, that's all I have.  Sorry for the lack of pictures.  I'll try to do better next time.  And since my blog is the closest thing to getting to see me for some of my friends, I'll try to be more blog interesting.  Which means my life needs to be more interesting.  I'll see what I can do...

Brinner time!

I've been married for 8 months!  Woohoo! Crazy.
For our 8 monthiversary we made some brinner.  (Breakfast for dinner).  I'm a little clumsy, and this is how dinner started out.

 I didn't know the pancake mix was open.

He's so sweet, cleaning up my mess...

So I didn't really have a purpose in writing this blog, I just haven't blogged in a while.

Here's a little bit of what's been going on lately.

We've been getting our food storage on.

Hawaiian Punch bottles are great to store some water in.

I went to a rally at the Capitol.  It was protesting Voldemort's the governor's cuts.  Basically, the cuts are  really hurting the people with disabilities, so there were about 500 people, many of whom drove a few hours to get here, protesting.  Our office brought signs.  

My sign.

Well, everybody pretty much had signs.  This was our favorite.

I've also become a professional envelope stuffer.  292 envelopes.  Labeled (stickers, of course), stuffed, sealed, stamped, all by me!

I'm very organized.

Also, my paychecks from Red Elephant are slowly increasing.

 

Yeah, I'm making the big bucks now.  

Anywho, I can't think of anything else worth writing.  I don't want to overload you with the excitement that is my life.
