And He's Off...

There he goes...

1st Day...

Scott's Big Day

Scott starts ToMoRrOw!
The newest employee to Hacker Brothers of London, KY officially starts his first day tomorrow where he is their newest Project Superintendent :)

He will be over the renovation and addition to Keavy Elementary School... a $2.5 million dollar project. << I am so proud of him >>





We are in the process of getting a home. We have our eye on a few but we have to work through the process of pre-approval to make an offer. We are hoping for the end of July or early August.




Other good news... I think we found a church. Everyone is so friendly and we are starting to get involved. We went to their Sunday School today and felt like we just fit right in. They have a ton of activities offered and have been invited too. We can't wait to continue to meet new people and make some friends.




Pray for me as I start to look for a more permanent job. Babysitting has been awesome but school will be starting soon and I will be left with no income and school loans :P

Pretty Pretty Princess

...so I was walking down the hall to my bedroom when I just so happened to glance into one of the rooms and this is what I see...






...so of course, I had to do a double take, and I found Ariel laughing hysterically with my Pretty Pretty Princess Cleea staring up at me as if to say "HeLp!" But instead I grabbed the camera and joined in on a good laugh with Ariel...

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


TAP OUT

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...

God answered our prayers...

God is so good and we can't praise him enough...what a great day :)

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 >
