We've been married 5 Months!

We have made it 5 months and it's been a good five months.

Things Jack has learned:

I am a stressful person

I dislike the dishes very much

I like hugs from tall Jack

I do not like towels on top of the door

I take a lot of pictures

That Gilmore Girls can be enjoyable

Things I have learned:

Jack likes lots of breakfast

To give up on the towel when there is nowhere else to put it

The kissy face doesn't work all the time

To give it sometimes for the movie choice

That I need to count to ten before voicing my opinion sometimes

That I have rubber gloves so I can to the dishes

We love eachother VERY much.

The All Mighty Catch Up

Buckle your seat belts, this is going to be a big one.

I have compiled the collection of pictures over the last month into one major post.

We have been loving Charlotte and all of the

fun things we have been able to do here.

Our apartments are lovely,

the weather in humid and the people here are "blessed beyond belief."

Jack has been getting better and better

at his job. My brother Deric had his senior pictures taken.

My grandma as of the beginning of the month has shot

13 skunks in her yard. Our neighbor Becca is set to

have her baby in less than a week, things are crazy around here.

The pool here is nice, but we get the feeling the people here don't

like us because they like to spend their time around the pool

drinking and smoking and hitting on each other and we are

too noisy for that to happen. The sales reps are gaining quite

the tan line on their feet as you can see, but they enjoy it.

We had a cake making contest one day.

Steve learned to make fondant out of

marshmallows and stuff. We had a

blast, I never knew that cakes could be so fun.

We then went to the local roller derby. I think we

expected a little more brutality amongst the

players, but it tuns out we think they all kinda

know each other because they were just playing for sport.

My favorite girl "optimus fine" ended up being not that

cool and kinda lame. She was supposed to do the

scoring but she would get ahead of the

other girl and then never change speed.

If she would have gone faster, she would have been pretty good.

The girl that was actually good ended up

sliding into the wall and

breaking her ankle. It was sad, and a slaughter for them.

For the fourth we went downtown and

watched the fireworks. I've always been

camping with my family, so I don't

really remember going to fireworks

on the fourth ever. Thus this was momentous and exciting.

We then went to this place next to

the Catawba river where they have

made their own man made river

and many other outdoor

activities. It's easily

described as a outdoor

themed theme park. There were all

kinds of things to do.

We did the rafting and kayaking,

but unfortunately didn't have a

water proof camera so we

don't have any pictures of that.

Before we went down the zip line,

we spent time kayaking on the

Catawaba. We were out there for

hours! When it was time to come

back we began to paddle around the

island in the river. We were told

it would take about 45 min to

get around. After about a mile

down the river we figured out

that we missed the island.

Turns out it was pretty small

and anyone who has any decent

strength can get around it in

about 20 min.

It was a long paddle back up stream.

We also have this great little area next to

the pool with a fire pit and a grill that

anyone can use. So we try to every once

in a while. The complex also has

television workout equipment, a

theater room, pool table and poker table,

and movies that you can just check

out anytime you wish included with

living there. It will be kinda sad to leave.

That is it for now, I am sure we will have more later.

We are rounding on five months so that should be an exciting time.

We also plan on winning the lottery, it's up to 120 million so

that should take care of us and any of you out there that read

this. So if you are wanting to make the right friends you should start being ours.

THE ZOO

Before we left Greenville we went to the little zoo they had there. We had a lot of fun because it was so little and cute I think we got to be more involved in the zoo than the zoo would have liked.

This is me actually falling off the bear.

This monkey was reading the cardboard like a book.
Jack's hand, he loses.




Jack being a monkey. It was a fun afternoon for us. Even though it was very hot and humid followed with a lot of bugs. gross.

New Suit

Jack and I have been loving the time we can spend together, especially at the pool. Since it's so conveniently right there to use. The next place we go has a pool, maybe it will be cooler.

However the coolest thing about these pictures is my new swimsuit!

My other one had a little fight in the dryer, and as you may guess-it lost. So I am going to enjoy this one for a while.

Pool Party

It's very frequent here for it to be hot. Thus, when the office gets a chance, we have a pool party.

Mostly the boys play ball in the pool. In the other moments they are eating, or they are jumping over the hoop, making a basket and flipping into the pool. This is easier for taller men, and more difficult for the smaller ones. However, no fatal injuries; many, many laughs.

Drowning is encouraged.
And Jack does rather well. Unfortunately, I don't pay attention with the camera when he is dominating the game. It helps that he is so tall for sure.

We have been having a good time here. It hink the fireflies are my favorite. I do enjoy watching the natives at the pool. The girls come out to sun bathe, and the men follow with their coolers. They all enjoy country music, and they know little to nothing about putting baby birds back in the nest.

The kids are funny, their accents make them sound older. However, their parents with the same accent sound younger.

We leave for Charlotte on Sunday. Once again we move a little further from home, but we will be back soon. My family is currently on their annual trips to the mountains, and I am so sad not to be there. It's a fun event, and I am not sure how I will feel watching a fireworks show for once on the fourth as I can't remember the last one I have been to, I was too little.

Also a note, my cousin Lauretta had a serious accident this weekend falling off a horse, and is in the hospital working hard to get better. We are all concerned about her, lover her dearly and pray she gets well soon. Lucky for me I have a wonderful family that only grows closer with hard times.

Rita's Ice

I've found a new love, Jack has found a new like. There is a little place called Rita's Ice. It's really close to where we live. They do flavored ice and custard and both of them together which is devine! 

The employees don't know what flavors there will be until that morning. So it's obviously an adventure. I LOVE the mango the most. But every flavor is really good. I will miss it when we leave for Charlotte in a week or so. We also bought a GPS today for the car. We have yet to use it, much less name it, but I have high hopes for the adventures that we will have. We also put the packages in the mail family so be excited! 

3 Months!

So it's been a few days since we actually hit our three months. But it's my blog whatever. We decided to just spend the day doing lazy things like watch a movie, go for a walk, jump in the pool. We also had a friend with us named Nygil all day. 

We decided to venture out in the woods with our bug repelant. I guess we weren't the only ones that felt that way because we ran into one lone guy. He just kinda stood and stared at the water then walked away. Weird creepy whatever.


We are having a great time out here. Especially getting to know other people, and having to rely on eachother for fun. We have a few plans for the far future now. Last week we went out with a few other couples for dinner and a movie which was so fun. We tasted a watermellon smoothie with sugar on the rim. This week I think we are going to go to the zoo, that will also be fun. I have a few more pics so I am going to give myself the goal of 5 posts in June. Here's one.
