DISNEYWORLD!!!

Taurean and I just decided to go to Disney World on Wednesday! Abby has 3 free park entrances which expire in a few weeks and found a really good deal on a hotel. So Taurean and I are packing our bags, missing a few classes and driving 13 hours to Disney World to see Abby! We are so excited! We'll spend all day Wednesday driving, go to the parks Thursday, Friday and Saturday and drive home Sunday! I'll get back in just enough time to take my final on Monday We are so lucky

Sunday TV highlights

Taurean and I were watching TV this afternoon and we stumbled upon one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. At first we thought it was a joke, or a SNL skit, but we soon realized that it was no joke. This is hilarious! Please click the link to watch the video, you will not regret it.  It's called, Flirty Girl Fitness! I crack up every time I see them swinging around the pole...so funny

Fourth of July & Taurean's Birthday

As Many of you may know, Taurean's birthday just happens to be the fourth of July! So I surprised Taurean with a trip down river on the 'Belle of Louisville' for a fireworks cruise friday night. We got great seats on the boat, and kicked back for a relaxing trip down the Ohio River. We pulled back into town just in time to see the Louisville Fireworks from our great seats on the river. We had a really good time and would definitely recommend it.

Here we are on the boat, ship?

Downtown Louisville- a view from the river

While we were waiting to board, the boat started playing music! All kinds of American folk songs. I whipped out my camera and took some footage to document the moment

Saturday morning Taurean woke up to breakfast in bed and a scavenger hunt! I sent him all around the apartment finding cards that I had hid in pots, on top of our ceiling fan, inside books, under the rug and in his shoes. 

The clues led Taurean to his 'Treasure' which included a basket full of candy, bottles of Coke, and some small presents. 

What We Do

Many people have been asking me what Taurean and I have been doing since we arrived in Kentucky. So I thought I would start taking some photos of our daily activities. Here is Taurean in his typical attire studying for the DAT. Looks pretty easy if you ask me. haha

Here is a picture of me doing my daily typical activity, crocheting. Good thing I have hobbies to keep me busy

oh, and sometimes if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll wander outside to water my beautiful plant. Doesn't it look great? 

A few nights ago Taurean and I thought it would be fun to have a sleepover in the living room. We blew up this huge air mattress that Bob and Greta left with us. It's like 3 feet tall when you inflate it. We stayed up watching Lord of the Rings and making cookies...which leads me to our next hobby...

BAKING. Taurean and I like to find recipes that look good and attempt making them. We made this really good raspberry cake. I've got the recipe if anyone's interested

And here is the classic "birthday cake" that we made a few weeks ago. The only thing we were missing was someone who had a birthday.  

Well anyway...there you have it. These photos pretty much sum up the extent of our lives here in Kentucky. We haven't been out much since Taurean needs to study. I can't wait until he takes the DAT on July 1st. Then we'll be able to go out and do things on the weekend!!! I can't believe we've already been here for a month!

You're Hired!

Well folks, in spite of the bad economy, I managed to find myself a job here in Kentucky! And not just any job, it appears to be a very promising job.... Are you ready to hear what it is?I'll be spending my days in this colorful and soft play land! I start training and hosting birthday parties, and by the fall (if things go well) I should be working as a gymnastics coach-teaching classes to kids! I start work next week and I'm very excited. Here is the website if any of you are interested in registering for summer classes :)

Disney World!!!

Before moving to Kentucky, Taurean and I were able to spend a week in Disney World, which I never posted about because we were too busy moving. Here are some fun pictures from our trip

Abby and I with Winnie and the gang

We took a 15 minute art class and learned how to draw Mickey Mouse

The infamous 'Kitchen Sink' (My parents helped us eat it. It had a whole can of whip cream in it

All in all it was a great trip. I just wish we could have spent more time there. Even though I broke out in a humidity rash on our third day. haha

Moving to Kentucky

Well, After 30 hours of driving, we finally made it to Kentucky! We took a little video of the 'welcome to Kentucky' sign, but the roads are so bumpy in our large truck that it's hard to see. Enjoy.

It's a good thing we set up our TV as soon as we arrived, because we not only learned where the tornado's are, but we found out that a water pipe burst in our area and that the water isn't safe to drink! Good thing we heard about this or we could be lying dead in our beds. :) Thankfully the water should now be safe to drink. Needless to say, Taurean and I religiously watch the news before going to bed.
