I'm still alive

I'm sure you've figured out by now that I'm not they greatest blogger in the world right now.

We've been without internet for 2 weeks, I'm only getting a chance to check it at my inlaws house.  We finally moved into our rental, with boxes everywhere.  My sister-in-law got married on Saturday, Sean and I both start school tomorrow and Keira starts preschool on the 14th, so if you don't see much of me, you'll know why.

 

 

There is Keira as the flowergirl in Jessi's wedding, so was sooo excited to do it.  And the happy couple, Jessi & Scotland.

Busy, oh so busy

Seems like this is how a lot of my posts have been starting lately. 

Well, I am busy, we're trying to move into the house that Sean's grandparents are letting us live in until we find something to buy.  We bought groceries today and I think by Monday night we'll be staying there, of course that means no cable or internet, but I'm working on getting at least internet, we can deal without tv. 

I thought we had good news, we applied for a VA loan yesterday and got approved online, but then I had a voice mail this morning saying it wasn't correct.

They can't use my unemployment wages toward the loan, which means we don't qualify on what Sean makes part time.  Which totally sucks, because we found an awesome house, super cheap too.  But we're going to still go see if there is another option, if not, we'll just wait 6 months to a year. 

Keira and I went to see Ice Age, yesterday in 3D.  FYI, if you didn't know this, 3D movies cost more, like I paid $22 for us to see a movie at 11:45 am. 

 

It was a cute movie, I haven't seen the other 2, so I felt kind of lost.  I am not a fan of 3D though, Keira didn't like wearing the glasses and neither did I to be honest. 

On Monday Sean and I went to GI Joe, I really liked it. 

 

It was a total action movie, but I love Channing Tatum, so I couldn't complain.  I'm sure they'll have another one and I'm excited to see it. 

So, back to the busy thing, tomorrow we have a birthday party to go to, on Sunday we have a big family party to go to and after that we have the AC/DC concert, and a night alone in a hotel!  YAY!!

Next weekend we have Pat's birthday on Saturday and I'm pretty sure we're not doing anything on Sunday. 

And the weekend after that is my Sister-In-Law's Wedding, so we have the rehearsal dinner on Friday and Wedding on Saturday, and I also have my first class on Saturday.  I'm only going to be able to go for a little while and leave to be home in time to get Keira ready for the wedding. 

So, busy busy!

College here I come

That's something I never thought I'd say.  LOL!

When I joined the Air Force a little over 10 years ago I thought I'd never go back to school, thats why I joined the Air Force, so I didn't take the GI Bill like so many others did.  A few years later I regreted not paying the money so I'd have the extra money for college that the military offered.  And there was nothing I could do about it.

But here I am a few years later, they came out with a new version of the GI Bill, that I do qualify for, I don't have to pay anything and they'll pay for all my school, give me money for books and housing.

So, I've enrolled in school, just 2 classes this semister, I want to easy myself into it.  I'm taking The History of Photography & Photography I.  Yep, I'm majoring in Photography!  I couldn't be more excited, I never had the ability to teach myself like so many others have, but now I get to have professionals teach me!  I can't wait.  I start the end of the month!!

Have you looked at this website yet?

Tasty Kitchen 

The Pioneer Woman started it as a place for all of her fans to share recipes.  It's really similar to All Recipes.com.  I just started looking at it today and I've already saved a ton of recipes.  I'm thinking about uploading some of mine over there.
