The Great White Hope

Last night, we went up to Lexington to support Scott Hope, our brother-in-law, at his UMA Fight (United Martial Arts---> Basically like UFC fighting) It was awesome! All the fights were quick and to the point but in a good way. There were 9 fights, One Heavy Weight fight, & then Scott Hope was the Pro Fight of the night.

He took a few good hits but then kinda realized he "better do something cuz I'm getting my butt kicked." :)

AND

THEN HE WON BY A VERY FAST

Our Mini Vacay

Sorry this is a few days late...


But we decided to explore and be open to what is being offered around London....and we had the greatest weekend in a long time. We went down to Laurel Lake Saturday and it was beautiful. The weather was beautiful < we took the jeep to fit in since we didnt have a boat or anything :) > the lake was beautiful, everything was just right.


We hung out at the beach or what is called the "spill way". It was nice and relaxing. A bunch of guys were playing volleyball and the boats were very entertaining. And we even ran into Brad, my cousin, and one of his little girls. Needless to say, if you want to come down and visit for a nice weekend, we would love to take you out there anytime...and renting a boat for the day is very cheap! So keep us in mind!









The best/scariest part was since there is no lifegaurd, this is what they use to save lives...

Crazy Weekend

Scott and I had one crazy weekend but we were able to fit it all in and survived :)

Friday was just normal. We hung around and really didn't do anything cuz honestly I cant even remember what we did.

Saturday was full of travel. We traveled 2 1/2 hours from London, KY to Louisville, KY for Josh & Abby's wedding. It was beautiful and fun...they def. showed their personalities in the ceremony & reception. We were able to see old friends, eat good food & cake, and dance into the evening.
From there, we drove another 1 1/2 hours from Louisville, KY to Cincinnati, OH to our friends house for a cookout. More awesome food & smores and we survived the "tornatic" storms that surrounded our area < thankfully, we only had lightning >

Sunday was the reason for the extented travel of the weekend. According to Adam, we "traveled 4 hours for a bible???" Yes we did Adam! :) At my home church, they always celebrate graduations, high school & college and we wanted to be apart of it. We were up there for all of 30 seconds and it was so worth it. We got our bibles and I got to see my friends who live down in Florida and their two cute little babies. After church, we went to Tata's for an amazing Egyptian meal < which Scott's dad finished off the left-overs and left me with no lunch today :P >
We got to see dad for a little bit before our 3 hour drive back down to London.

Monday was filled with more travel < of course...story of our lives > Scott started early by printing out his resume and ironing his clothes as I slept in :) We headed out for our 2 1/2 hour drive to Bowling Green, KY. I spent the next hour sitting in a Burger King reading while Scott went to his interview. After, we drove around town to scope out apartments just in case...and we went to the mall where they had a Charlotte Russe store...I was very excited :)
After hours of driving around we finally made the 2 1/2 trip back home but stopping in Somerset for some yummy Donatos Pizza.

Lets just say that when we got home, we crashed! Thankfully, Scott & I don't have to travel for his next interview Thursday. I think we are done traveling for a while. We are thinking, people need to start coming to us from now on :P Esp. since we have Laurel Lake, that would be fun to go to one day...maybe this Saturday. We will keep everyone updated.

Oh and if you are looking for a good show to watch...I just discovered Cake Boss last night...amazing! < I cant wait to learn how to decorate cakes >

Good News

Scott found out that his internship is for 9 months....not 3! yay!
Also, they are considering opening up a full time position using the GPS System (eventually), which Scott did for the past 2 summers and lOvEd

Scott is enjoying what he is doing with the internship and meeting a ton of nice people. The update on me: I have been getting my name out there and so now I am just waiting to hear back. Please pray for me that God opens up the right door...I'm pretty much bored out of my mind not having a job :/ (never would have thought I would be saying that) But I am excited to start something new and meet new people & co-workers. So please pray that someone comes across my resume and realizes I would be a great employee and hires me :)

I will keep everyone update!...
