To One of My Very Best Friends:

I'm going to miss seeing you ever day so much!! Working with you the past 8 years has been just so awesome. You've been there for so much, and have always supported me and been there for me. Not talking to you every single day, and telling you all sorts of things that I probably shouldn't, will be so foreign to me. You are truly one of the strongest, coolest and very best people I know. You've overcome every obstacle that you've come across, and always with a smile on your face in the end. You are truly an inspiration to me, and I will miss our close friendship so much! I wish you the absolute best of luck in finishing school, and I am so incredibly proud of you for doing so! This isn't a goodbye, by any means... just a talk to you later! I love you so much, my dearest Merduf! You truly are one of my very bestest friends!!

Dude,

Sorry.

17 Days...

Until the first day of school...I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to wait until next year. The only good thing about that is that when I go to job fairs in the spring, I'll be COMPLETELY hireable, perhaps on the spot! (Sigh)...oh well...

Happy Birthday (yesterday) Penners!!

Oh, Georgie!!!

So sorry I missed those ripped jeans and that nice d*&k-loving ass!!! I'm SO going to the concert next time!!!!

Certificiation Test

So, the test went alright, I suppose. It only took me 2 1/2 hours to complete it, which kind of made me nervous since we were given 5 entire hours! The test seemed easier than the practice test, but now I'm scared that I'll still fail, and then look really stupid since it seemed easier. I'm supposed to get my scores in about a week, so hopefully early next week I'll hear something.

Happy 4th of July!

We went to the Richardson Family 4th Celebration at Breckinridge Park. We took a blanket and played some Go Fish while listening to the Richardson Community Band play. Then we watched some really great fireworks. The finale was SUPER!!!

Licking the yummy sugary goodness off a funnel cake

Adam was REALLY excited! Dixie wanted to take a picture of both of us with jazz hands.

FIREWORKS!!!

There were some good pictures with Dixie in them too, including a family monkey face portrait, but I'm not allowed to show that she's part of my family. Just know she was there and had a really good time too :o)

Certification Test

I've scheduled my teacher's certification test for Monday, July 14th at 1:00 pm. Wish me luck!!!!

Our Trip to Port Aransas, TX

As a Christmas present for me and Adam, my boss let us stay in her mother-in-law's condo on Mustang Island/Port Aransas. When we arrived, we ate at a very piratey restaurant and looked at the gift shops. Quite a few had shark-mouth entrances.

BEAUTIFUL flowers and palm trees everywhere!

Then we went to the beach. It was apparently seaweed season, and it had all washed up on shore. It was creepy in the water when it grazed our legs...a couple days later it wasn't so bad.

Adam and I played in the sand. He built a house, and found this little guy living in it.

I played in the sand and built an alien that turned out to look more like the devil...hmm...

Adam tried twice to build a fire on the beach. The second time was successful, despite the incredible wind coming off the coast. It turned out very well, and the warmth felt good :o) We built a wall in front of it to help keep the wind away.

Me looking oh-so-sexy on the beach!

We took a helicoptor tour of the beach. I feel so much better in a helicoptor than I do an airplane. It was so smooth!

We also took a dolphin watch boat tour and got to see real wild dolphins! Everytime we took a picture, they would go back underwater.

We drove into Corpus Christi and went to the Texas State Aquarium. They had a dolphin training show, which I loved, and lots of other things. They had a whole room full of different jelly fish, some were HUGE, and some were very small but created their own rainbow light. We also got to touch sting rays. They're kind of jelly-like.

Next to the aquarium was the U.S.S. Lexington. I couldn't get over just how big it was!

It was a super-wonderful, much needed vacation for us. We definately need to have a couple's vacation every year!!
