I'm not homeless!!
Yea, we found a home! How quick was that?!?
The house we are going to be renting is actually our second choice, but it has a lot of character and we're real excited about it. :) We are allowed to paint it, so we're going to paint it all crazy colors. It'll be fun! :)
Also, this place is walking distance to tons of fun stuff like restaurants, bars, shops, an arts park, etc. AND.....biking distance to the beach! WOOHOO!
Here are some pictures of it. It is still dirty and has stuff in it from the previous owner, but imagine it clean and painted! I got this Glidden paint cd rom thing that I uploaded these pics to and painted the walls what colors we're going to. It was real cool and makes the place look super nice, but I can't figure out how to upload them to the web, so SORRY, you'll have to wait to see the real thing. :)
There are also two bedrooms, an office, and an attic that I'm not showing pics of. Show you more once the place is painted (and cleaned) !! :)

New Year, New Blog
AAAGGGHHH, life is stressful!
Happy New Year by the way. :)
I have not proven to be a good* blogger, but I hope to improve over this next year. I definitely seem to have things to blog about, so let me get started.
Christmas was fun, but quite an experience...Cory, Lucas, Murphy, Daisy, and I spent a total of 38 hours (or just under a full work week) in our Corolla driving to and from Indiana to visit my family. Boy was that drive fun...here is evidence...
This is what happens to someone when they spend WAY too much time stuffed in a compact sedan!
Here is Murphy laying on Cory in the backseat
And Lucas looking unsure of things in the front
We were scheduled to drive back to Florida the Thursday before New Years, but that didn't happen, as Cory, Lucas, and I (along with my sister and both of my parents) all got some kind of stomach bug and we were stuck vomiting and aching for 24+ hours. We ended up leaving 24 hours late and ended up with some kind of a cold when we arrived in Florida 19 hours later.
The following day, Cory and I fought through our cold and traveled down to Key West to ring in the new year camping with friends.
Upon returning home, we discovered that the owner of the home we live in will soon be moving back with his soon-to-be wife and that we need to be out by the end of the month. AGHH! Talk about stress! We have been house hunting full force though and have some decent places to choose from.
Here is a bottle opener that we saw on the fridge of our number one choice (I bleeped part of it out for the kiddies)...
House hunting can be amusing! We'll hopefully have a decision later this week. I'll keep you posted!
On a separate note, American Gladiator is back and I believe it will be a regular addition to our Sunday nights. Cory says it's better than Battlebots. :)
My favorite quote from tonight's episode came immediately after the first two girls went head to head in the last competition. After looking completely drugged as they ran through the obstacle course, the winning competitor yelled, "I'm in so much pain, I can't breath, and I'm so freakin' excited!"
That's all for now. More blogs to come in '08. :)

I HATE MIAMI!!!!!!
So...5 weeks to the day that my purse (along with cash, credit cards, social security card, palm pilot, etc) was taken in Miami, someone went into my office at work and stole my phone and the cash in my purse!
I hate Miami!!!
Anyway, please send me a message with your phone number as I have lost them all.

Halloweeners :)
I've been called out about being a slacker with blogging. Thanks Kristen! :)
So...I was wondering what I would blog about, then it happened....I got my first trick-or-treater ever!!! That's right....EVER! I grew up trick-or-treating in Indiana. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, so we would have to go to some neighborhood kinda far away to get our tricks...I mean treats. :) Then if we were ever around home when it was trick-or-treating time, no one ever came to our house since we didn't live near anyone. Anyway...long story short, every year I get candy hoping that I will be able to experience the knocking at the door and the yell of "Trick-Or-Treat" from silly little kids all dressed up cute and every year I never get the knock and end up eating all the candy.
Well...THIS year was different! I bought a bag of candy today...which was dangerous since I'm trying to diet. I came home with the intentions of putting spider webs out on the front porch so it would look inviting for all those silly little kids. Well, I got sleepy and decided to try to take a nap instead. Then I woke up and I figured it was too late to put up the web, cause it was already getting dark (and I didn't want to look too desperate) and because I was worried they would stay up until next year (like our Christmas tree has stayed up since last year). So later I heard kids outside, but again I didn't want to look desperate by running outside with all my candy, so I waited patiently and hoped they would knock on my well lit door. But no, they didn't. I was so sad that I thought it was going to be like every other year, then it happened!!! A little knock at the door sent me running to grab the candy and open the door...probably a little to eagerly. Then there was this cute little boy in bloody scrubs with his face all messed up yelling "Trick-or-Treat"! It was the cutest thing ever! I offered him my jar full of candy and he took one piece. I was like..."you can take more!" He said no thank you and left. I was excited about what had just happened, but I wondered if I should have commented on his costume or made small talk or forced him to take more candy, but then I realized I was thinking a little too much about it. :) It was great....then later a big group, then a couple more stragglers came by. Fun stuff. I love Halloween. :)
