Living My Life

Well Bloggeroos... It's Friday again.  Life really is going by so fast.  I know I say it a lot, but it really is.  When I was a kid, time poked by and things couldn't come soon enough... but now I can't make it slow down.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sooo glad it's Friday!! I just wish life wasn't passing me by so quickly.  I start work on Monday, so next week I'll probably start saying that I wish the week would go by faster LOL! We will see I guess....

Anyways, this past week has been a good one.  I don't have much to complain about.  I'll give you a little recap of it...

*Last Friday, July 9th-- Me, Brad, and my wonderful Daddy went to see Second Wind play (My pal Travis' band... which was Barry Scott & Second Wind, but now the band has moved on without Barry.)  They were amazing as always and it was great getting to spend some time with my 2 favorite men in the world! 

*Saturday, July 10th-- Brad and I went to my parents for a cookout and to celebrate Peyton & Jonah's birthday.  It was a fun day with my family!  I love them so much and I really miss them sometimes.  I don't get to spend near enough time with them. 

*Sunday, July 11th-- I got to spend some time with my mom and dad while Brad went fishing with my bro, Phillip.  Later, Brad & I went to his parents house to celebrate his dad's birthday. 

*Wednesday, July 14th-- Brad went for an interview for the Johnson City Fire Department... Then we went on a date.  I love dates with my husband... nothing could be better!  :-) 

Well, that's about all the excitement I have had for week, haha!  Of course I have done tons of other stuff, but nothing worth mentioning. 

On a personal note... Lately I have been feeling like I need a new adventure.  A change.  Something to be excited about.  I'm not quite sure what kind of change or excitement yet, but I feel like I'm an old person these days and I'm too young to be old.  So maybe sometime in the future I can find a good change.

 I wouldn't mind finding some new friends, either.  All of mine and Brad's friends have moved away (excpet a few) and we don't really have anyone to hang out with anymore, so we find ourselves getting really bored at times.  We enjoy time with one another, but everyone needs friends too.  But where do college graduates with full time jobs go to find new friends?  We could probably find new friends at church, but we are currently trying to find a church to call home so I guess we can't find church friends until we find a church... If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them... or you can be my friend. ;-) 

Another thing that has been on my mind lately is how much I really miss my Nan.  Some weeks I'm okay, but other weeks I can't stop thinking about her.  I don't want to ever forget her, I just wish I could have her back.  There are so many things I wish I could tell her and ask her.  She's the one person I could go to for advice and she would never judge me.  I could tell her anything in the world and I wish she was here now so we could just talk.  If only I could go back to the last day I went to visit her (before the hospital), I would take the time to tell her how much she really meant to me and how great of a grandmother she was.  If only...

Well seeing as how this is the last week day I don't have to work, I'm going to go enjoy it!  Have a happy weekend!!!

Time is Flyin' By!

Why is it impossible for me to write daily?  Or even once a week?  Lucky you, you get to read about my past 2 weeks again, yay!  ;-) 

I'll try to make this short....
*Sat. June 26th- Brad and I crashed the pool at Evergreen Terrace.  We figured we paid enough rent while we lived there and we didn't use the pool much, so we have some back pool time.  It was niiiice!  The water was perfect for the super hot day.  Thanks Evergreen for having such a great pool! 

*Sun. June 27th- Brad and I went to the wonderful Roan Mountain with Erin and Brandon.  It was an amazing day.  Beautiful weather and great views!  After, we went to Hampton to eat at The Captain's Table... it was soooo good!  The best fried shrimp ever!!  And amazing views of the lake, might I add! 

*June 29-July 1- Brad's sister Hannah came to visit for a few days.  It was great having her here!  I love it when his sisters visit, they are a blast! 
                                        We took her to Bays Mountain,

                                            the lake in Hampton,

She and I went to all the little antique shops in Elizabethton,
and we all hiked up to Roan Mountain to watch the sunset on Wed. night.  It was breathtaking.  And cold.  It was a super hot tempeture of 55degrees in JULY!  My hands were so cold!  But the sunset was worth every cold inch on my body.  And not to mention we had to hike through the jungle after dark to get back to our car... I was scared (remember the mountain lion encounter I had before.)  BUT I'd so do it again!  ;-)

*July 2nd- HaPpY bIrThDaY tRaVis!!! 

*Sat. July 3rd- Brad and I went to Erin and Brandon's annual 4th of July party.  It was a hoot!!  Being pretty much the ONLY sober person there, I got to experience all sorts of hilarious things.  People were drunk that I never thought I'd see drunk, people were dancing that I never thought I'd see dancing, my car was used as a table and chairs (that's what I get for parking in the driveway).  It was a fun party and the JC fireworks show was awesome as always (Erin & Brandon live right next to where they shoot off the JC fireworks.)  I'm so sad that I didn't get any pictures of this day, buuuuut I did get lots of video on my phone (Just for you Ashlee!) 

*Sun. July 4th- Brad and I went to the park and later went to dinner at Cootie Brown's with Erin and Brandon... Happy Birthday America!!!  God Bless the USA! 

*Mon. July 5th- Me and Brad went to the Lake in Hampton.  We took floats and swam out the the booie's and tied a rope to it and floated for a few hours.  I did the smartest thing all summer, I didn't wear sunscreen and I came out looking like a lobster.... told you it was smart!  But it was fun! 

*The rest of this week has been preeeetty boring, so I don't really have anything to say about it.  But this weekend will be filled with tons of fun and I can't wait!! 

Maybe, JUST MAYBE I'll blog again sooner than later!  Let's keep our fingers crossed! 

Oh and on a side note.... I'm moving forward with my future plans that I still can't tell you about.  I've made the next step to getting it done and I'm super excited about it!  It will be a while still yet though, so hold tight for details.  I may just have a career I'll love afterall!  ;-)

Til the next time.....
