This last week has been interesting. Not really busy I guess, but it sure had felt like it. I haven't worked much, for MY department anyway. I have worked quite a bit for Rivers End Resturant at NOC though. I worked there today and yesterday, and I'll probably be working there Monday and Tuesday. Then next weekend is THE big event at NOC. It's the Guest Appreciation Festival. NOC sells ALL their used kyaks, paddles, spray skirts, helmets, etc etc etc. It is the biggest gear and boat sell on the east coast. Anyway, there are also some fun events that happen during GAF. Dave and I are in charge of the movie premier night on Friday and the halloween haunted trail on Saturday. Plus some pumkin carving and apple bobbing, and a few costume contests in between. Hopefully we'll be able to put OUR costume pictures up on here, if we remember to get pictures of them. I think they'll be pretty hilarious.
This weekend Sheena, my best friend, is FINALLY coming up to see us. She came one day in the spring, but that was really rushed. She is currently stuck in traffic between here and Asheville. Hopefully she'll be here w/i the hour though.
I think tonight is some formal for the highschool or middle school around here, cause I've seen 2 couples go past in prom gowns and tux's so far. They're really cute though. Anyways, I gotta get outta here, hopefully Sheena will be here soon. ttyl!

so long dear tag board, and goodnight
I have figured out why the pop-ups are popping up when you access my blog. It was my tag-board that was doing it. See, they use different companies advertising to pay for tag-board.com. So, I have gotten rid of it. This is how much I love you Shannon. Now, no more pop-ups will bother us, but it is sad day. I will miss you tag-board, but it is worth the sacrifice. Maybe I will find something better to replace you.

you can never say "i love you" too many times in one day
i'm listening to the Charlie's Angel soundtrack right now. Jake,one of my best guy friends, downloaded it for me in highschool. It's the only good thing about the movie--the music that is. But this blog isn't about Charlie's Angels, at least I don't think so. I mean, I know several Charlie's, but none of them have angels. I'm sure the one's that are married think their wives are angels (maybe), but only one of them is married, so the rest I don't know about. ANYWAY--getting past Charlie....
Dave and I have been married 6 months. It doesn't seem that long, it's flown by. It's almost winter and it still feels like summer to me (maybe it's because the leaves haven't even started changing here yet, all the locals are very upset about that, it's not good for business, all those old people come to the look at the leaves and THEY'RE ALL GREEN). Marriage is alot like I thought it would be--good times, tough times, fun times, rainy days in, tired evenings dragging in from work, laughing so hard you cry, crying over 'spilled milk', being completely idiotic w/ each other, and snuggling whenever possible. But this is what I've found out about Dave in the last 6 months.
1-- he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow-sick, mad, or @ 8 pm
2-- if i'm reading, he's sleeping, he says my voice is just soothing, but whatever, I put him to sleep
3-- he really hates to clean, unless he just happens to be in the mood
4-- he does NOT know how to match clothes- Dave, camo and stripes DON'T go together Honey.
5-- it's not the different side of the road, he just can't drive
6-- if i don't fall asleep before him, i'm gonna get "run over" by an 18 wheeler
7-- he thinks he's invincable
8-- he assumed he would always live like a boy
9-- "clean" is a optional word in the mens dictionary
10--he loves me no matter how bad of a mood i'm in
These are the few things I'm learning about marriage:
1-- no matter how many times you wash clothes, the basket will be full by the end of the week
2-- pasta is a great meal to cook when there's not much in the house; "we have a tomato, some garlic, a mushroom, and half a squash-PASTA IT IS!"
3-- as long as there's food in the house, they're happy
4-- a hug at the beginning of the day & when you walk through the door at the end of it, make an AMAZING difference to a bad day
5-- if you can laugh at yourself, no matter the circumstance, it can probably be fixed, or ignored till later
6-- they fell in love with who you are and who you will be, not just who you were, so remember to let each other grow and encourage lots
7-- marriage is great for the ego, all the things you hate about yourself they probably love the most--cause it makes you you!
8-- anything you do together is time well spent
9-- you have to listen with your heart, not your ears sometimes
10- if you want to love forever, and to share your lives together, you have to always forgive, always keep that secret language you have between you, make big decisions together, tell the truth, think-then speak, love each other unconditionally, and pray together
---I love you Dave--you are trully my other half. I've never met someone who's let me be more completely me, and helped me find out what that is. You make me shine.

Dumbledore is not dead!
OK, so you remember my rant on the latest Harry Potter book, and how I hated the ending. Well, I know if you are a real Harry Potter fan you've already read it, so I'm spilling the beans on the ending. Dumbledore DIES! If you don't know who that is, OBVIOUSLY you're not a fan, but he's really the main adult character of the book. He's Harry's mentor, advisor, & friend, and also he's the headmaster of Hogwarts (the school--duh). It was a VERY traumatic end to the book I looked forward to for over a year, and I was not happy about it, and extremely depressed. Well, recently some new light has been shed on this very grim matter. One of Dave's friends e-mailed him this site-- www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com !!! If you ARE a Harry Potter fan, this will give you SO much hope for the last book, and maybe a little solace that things may turn out alright for Harry in the end. If you're not a fan, you've probably stopped reading this by now, and don't wanna try the site anyway. Have it your way, your missing out.

Dawson's Creek
Yes, all of you LDP that were with me are groaning at the mention of that show (except Candice of course). I was sick on Friday and rented it from the video store. Season 3 that is. I had rented season 4 last, but realized I hadn't seen all of season 3, so I'm back tracking. I'm almost done, and Dave is SOOOO glad! :)
We went boating again last night and I tried the Jackson Fun one more time to see if maybe it had gotten better since the last time I was in it. It hadn't. I REALLY detest the seating arrangements in that boat, they are HORRIBLE!!! I was surfin lots and I've almost mastered rolling w/0 a nose plug. I don't wear one anymore cause I just hate the way they feel, and am doing pretty well rolling w/0 one. I've also got my stern squirt from both sides! I LOVE doin them now! They're so fun! I'm terrible at enders, but that's Dave's forte. Anways, the real drama comes in towards the end of the evening last night. We were still boating and I was getting tired. I told myself just a few more stern squirts and we'd go. I wet exited 3 times in the next 15 minutes, and the last time, Dave's pretty sure I concussed myself. Yeah, I was acting sorta weird for the rest of the night, laughing hysterically one moment and crying the next, it really scared him. I must have hit my head coming out the last time, on the boat actually. I just don't understand how you get concussed wearing a helmet! Whiplash maybe, they say it can happen that way too, I dunno. It was weird though. He wouldn't let me go to sleep, so I stayed up and watched Dawson's Creek until he was convinced I was ok to go to bed. Fun night all in all I would say! lol The moral of the story is--don't buy a Jackson Fun, they can get you concussed!
