Augusta Riverwalk

Alright so you'll have to bear with me, these pictures are out of order,

but oh well, anyways.

Last night for Independence Day Alex and I went to Augusta Riverwalk,

it is such an awesome place!

It's in downtown Augusta and it was so pretty!

We just kinda walked around a little

bit, then found and got some waters,

then found a spot down by the river to chill before the fireworks started.

We ended up leaving before the fireworks because it was insanely busy,

like the most people I have ever seen anywhere besides Disneyland,

and we wanted to beat the traffic.

But we caught most of the fireworks while we were walking to our car,

so it was still nice. It made for a great evening just chillin with Alex by the river,

it was nice and relaxing.

After that we went to Walmart across the way,

and there we got the best view of the fireworks,

so we were kinda glad we ended up leaving early anyway :)

hahaha this just makes me laugh

Just wanted to show how close we were

ew ignore my hideous unmanicured feet, just showin how close haha

Clearly you can tell I'm lovin it

Amazing houses there

Lake with the Pups & looking forward to's

The other day I decided to take the dogs to the lake. It was such a beautiful day, just perfect. There was music playing sorta close by so I just kinda sat down and chilled for a while, it was so nice and peaceful. I wish everyday was that nice, but unfortunately most days are unbearably hot.

The dogs are being so good latley

I love them

Isn't it just so lovely

Now for the looking forward to

Alex has a graduation date, Aug 4th. That means we will be out of here and on our way back to Mesa Aug 6th! My mom and aunt Tamralyn will be flying down here on the 5th. And getting a rental car so they can help us move back. We'll need another car cause we have a few more item and the dogs wound't be able to fit on the drive back.

I'm so glad we have a date cause now I'm starting to plan the whole trip back and getting so much more excited for it!

Alex's report date is for the 2nd week of September(don't really wanna put the date on the internet) So I decided I'll probably stay in Mesa till end of October or Mid November or so, I wanna stay a little longer then I could so we can save some money to buy nice new furniture, and a washer and dryer and all. I wanna get a nice big sectional for our new place.

Also spend more time with my family before I leave. Gonna miss them :( But I am super excited to go to Korea. I've heard soooo much about it and it sounds awesome!

Maranda Week

Last week my little sister Maranda was able to take a few days off work and came and stayed here for 5 days! We had such a good time! Layed out by the pool, saw a few movies went out to eat, and on Saturday for Alex's birthday we went to Hilton Head Island! I'm so glad she was able to come out and be our first and probably last/only visitor haha.

Me and my special sister out by the pool

haha it was super sunny

Red Robin

Mrnda stole a balloon

To get helium of coarse

I love my seester

It was so difficult to get a good picture
and wan't accomplished






Poor Alex got fried :(

Mediocrity

Today I went to a movie with my sister, Maranda.

We went to see, "The Last Song" at the dollar theater.

As I was sitting watching the part where Ronnie was playing piano immaculately .

I had a quite the eye opening experience...

I Am Mediocre.

I came to this conclusion because I used to play the piano.

But then I quit, and now I suck.

Then I was thinking about everything I have done in my life.

And it made me sadder than ever to realize everything I have ever done,

I have just been mediocre at.

There has been one thing in my life that I have ever done

that I have done well at, but of coarse I quit.

And that was swimming

I love swimming, I think it's my one passion

And it's one thing I think I excel at.

I went swimming with Maranda today at the pool

We were swimming back and and forth in the pool(not quit laps)

And I realize, hey, I'm still really good at this.

So today I am making a pact with myself.

I will swim laps at least 3x a week.

I will get even better at it

This will be MY THING

AND I WILL NOT BE MEDIOCRE ANYMORE!

Just a whole lot of info, in case you we're wondering ya know

Wow, I'm a horrible blogger.

Have I blogged at all since I've been here really? Who knows, anyways I'll catch everyone up.

I got a job at the begining of May working as a camp counselor here at the YMCA. I worked there until...oh hey, a week ago today. I quit for a few reasons, the biggest one is I have a gazzillion things to do before the move. All of my Korea paperwork has to be in by the 20th. And so far I have been crazy busy since, so yep quitting was definetly my best move. The second reason was besides a psycho head boss, like I just can litterlaly not explain how crazy she was, so I just won't. The camp had 250-300 kids, and about 15 counselors per shift. And in case anyone was wondering, that DOES NOT WORK. It was insane, so unorganized, a major headache everyday. Just plain didn't work.

Back to me being busy busy. I've been gettin all my paperwork together, I've gotten 1/2 doctors appt down, The next one is wednesday. Getting my passport Thursday. And my name is officially changed everywhere, so I don't have to worry about what last name I use where haha.

For Memorial Day weekend me and Alex we're lucky enough to get to go home for the weekend. We had the funnest time! I'm so mad at myself, we were having such a good time we didn't take any pictures! Grr!!

We have a move plan finally. We're not moving with a truck. We're packing everything we can in my Acura and haulin it to Arizona...again. Except we have more stuff, and still have the 2 dogs, So we're gonna have my mom and whoever else come here and get a rental car so the dogs, and whatever else can go in the rental in there, and stuff our car with crap, We'll just be selling our couch mattress and table. Good thing we got them each for under 200.

Alex's last day of class is July 30th. Then there's like a week of out processing, and 5 days in the field. So we'll probably be back home middle of August, then Alex reports middle of September, which means I'll probably be getting there middle of October.

Last night was a baddd night. I got absolutely no sleep. My poor little puppy Bagheera is sick and was crying allllll night. I might as well have just slept outside cause he needed to go out, not even kidding, every 20 min. At about 5:25 he threw up and was done crying and needing to go outside. But unfortunately for me I needed to be up at 5:45 for an appointment. I came home with Alex at 900 and Bagheera had diarrhead all over in the kennel. Oops which reminds me I should have washed those blankets that are laying on the balcony haha. Alex was great and cleaned that all up for me while I took the dogs out. He wasn't eating or drinking today, and I was getting worried so I went and bought wet food and pedialyte and he's been doing better. The dogs have been so so lazy today, or just sick :( And have been asleep all day except the 2 times I've taken them out.

And last but not least today Alex and I have been married for 6 months. I love him so much, he is so amazing with everything he does for me. I don't expect him to be so great after all the hard work he does, but he's never seems to be tired, or shows it at least. I love how much fun we always have together. I love what a great support he is for me, anytime I get stressed out he assures me everything is going to be fine, and helps me take care of all the thing I need to. It's weird it feels like we have been married way longer than 6 months, but really time is flying and I can't wait till we can start the next stage in our life. The free life! No more training and rules! Where we can actually live together! Only 6 more weeks!! I can't wait!

Promise the next post will be fun with pictures! And is WILL happen befor Sunday!
