Weekly Update!

It has been so long that I am calling this one the weekly update!!

I have been crazy busy lately trying to get all my normal things done... I had been putting off so much stuff since I knew my schedule would be changing at work and wanted to do it when I had time in the morning. So... since that started last week I have been running around doing taxes, getting doctor appointments, cleaning up this and that, running miscellaneous errands... it has been busy!

Last weekend we went hiking on a mountain close to where we live, it was pretty cool!
We have been doing some hiking since I have been down here so we got hiking boots... we each tried to break them in on this past hike so we didn't go very far as compared to previous trips because our feet hurt! We are planning on going back next weekend to try to break them in again. We live somewhat close to the end of the Appalachian Trail so by the fall we want to be able to hike for maybe a weekend up there. Also, the good pictures come from the Application Trail area... it is beautiful. Three of us went there last fall and it was so beautiful we took a ton of pictures. We are trying to get to the point where we can hike 15 miles or more in a day (although last weekend we went like 5). It’s nice down here already so that makes the hiking trips very nice.

I found out in the last week that people at my work are in a basketball league so last night I went to the game. There are both guys and girls on the team so I was able to play too. I had so much fun! Since I haven't played basketball in so long I forgot how much fun it is to play. Its nice too because I have been doing a lot of running lately just to get into shape so that helped when I played basketball but I was still really winded. Also, I found that I need to practice my shooting! Will have to find a park close to here and get a basketball and shoot away!

The weather report… it was beautiful most of the week last week and on Saturday which made for a beautiful hike. Then it rained all day Sunday and got pretty chilly yesterday (well, at least chilly for us – mid-50’s). Today it is sunny and supposed to be back in the 70’s and stay that way for most of the week! I am very excited about that!!

No one posting??

Well, after looking at everyone elses blog I don't feel so bad about not posting for the past week. It must be a really, really busy time of year! Anyway, I have been busy with the new job and all.

But... this week I did watch a new movie... recommended to me by none other than Dan and Joe... Napoleon Dynamite!!! I laughed SO hard at that movie. It is so dumb but so funny and so easy to quote!! Yesss!

Long time... no post!

So, I have been quite busy in the last week... again.

To cap up the Florida vacation... it was sunny, it was warm, I was on the beach, and it was nice to spend some time with the family!! If you haven't checked out the pictures yet they are cute! Also, I don't have all the pictures yet... we did take some pictures around the town of Venice (which is where my grandparents are) but didn't have time to get them off the camera and Joe did take some with a regular camera so he will need to get them developed... but I should eventually get all the pictures up on here.

This last week I have been learning a ton at work. It is crazy all the things I need to learn!! But it is nice having the opportunity to learn and to grow so I am having fun with that. Still it makes a lot less time for blogging!

Today is beautiful here and a roomate and I did go for a quick hike but didn't take a camera so no pictures of that. It was funny that there were no leaves on the trees yet but I bet they will be in the next month!

Quick Hi

Just wanted to throw in a quick "hello." I have been very busy lately... no time at work with all the training to jump onto the blog and do any real updates. And, after work, one of the guys we all used to work with from Michigan is down here this week for training so we have been having a lot of fun with him around.

But, the job is going really well so far and I am excited to be going to FLORIDA in 1 more day!!

What is going on... I woke up this morning and there was this white stuff all over the ground outside. It is cold and I know I don't like it! My roommates tell me it is called SNOW! Ugh!!
