So this morning on the way to work i was thinking about teaching music....and wondering what i'm going to do to keep from going completely insane with childrens music...surely their has to be something out their that is okay. Then it hit me....They might be giants has a childrens album....although i haven't heard it, i'm very excited about this idea....i did look at the song list and it seems like something i could work with...and it looks as though they have at least 3 childrens albums and are coming out with another. Then I got to thinking....Jack Johnson, he has the album Sing-a-long and lullabies based from the curious george soundtrack...this is awesome. And i'm finding all kind of musicians that have made childrens albums...including the barenaked ladies. I'm going to check them all out and i'll let you know if they any good!

Yesterday...i got the card that states my last name has officially changed....its weird. I decided to practice before signing it...i signed my last name great....but i totally messed up my first name....isn't that how it always is! :)

1.5 days of work left...woohoo!!

The wedding blog i promised you all!! :) Please visit..

wedd to a different drum....the blog!

The weekend....

This weekend was a movie weekend...we went on Friday night and saw the dark knight (again, we love it)...we went on Saturday night with Theresa and Steve and saw Step Brothers, it was pretty funny! And then on Sunday we went to see Hellboy 2, i like this too. Really, there aren't to many movies that i don't like..hehe!



I have 7 more days of work here in this office...and about 2.5 hours of sick leave that i will have to use of lose...which means i have about 4.5 days of work for the DDS....woohoo!

This coming weekend...

We are having a party....we have an entire keg that hasn't been touch and we need some help...also, why not celebrate a new job! And it makes me clean the house!

Has anyone heard the new flight of the conchords CD? It is pretty funny...they have taken theirs songs and changed them up....so what you are used to singing at the top of your voice isn't quite the same....but you are able to make out the lyrics better...and lets face it....flight of the conchords lyrics are the best!

Also, check out Whitneys new blog...

So i am having some duster buster woos...

We got this duster buster for our wedding....but we have no idea who got it for us :( I'm distressed because i can't send anyone a thank you card and i have actually been having nightmares about it. Yes, i do know that i'm a dork...



If anyone has any information regarding this dirt devil...PLEASE let me know! We also got a craigs emporium gift certificate that didn't have a name...any information on that would be greatly appreciated too! :)

So, i just found out that all the sick leave i have does nothing after i leave...so i may just have to use it! :)

So...our honeymoon was awesome. We only had one snag and a couple of little hiccups! :) Our one snag was the day we left...we got to the airport an hour before and our flight had been cancelled...they only had ONE person re-routing the entire plane so we missed our second flight. Finally we got to the counter and they moved us over to Continental...and everything was fine from there, we just got to NY a couple of hours later than originally planned.

Our major hiccup was when we were on the subway. Cody knew are exit and we were talking. We were stopped and about the time the doors were closing, Cody ask..."where are we"...i tell him "34th street". He then proceeded to run off the subways saying this is our stop...by that time the door were pretty much closed and he was trying to stick his hand in the door to make it open...subway doors don't do that. FYI, he got his hand out in time and it is still intact! :) So i get off at the next stop....and get out of underground to give Cody a call...thinking that he would have done the same thing. But no....i tried calling 5 times and finally just decided to walk back to the hotel. About the time that i get there he calls and says that he was waiting for me to come back around.....and so we met at the hotel.

We had so much fun though, we went to the museum of natural history, the met and MOMA. My favorite was MOMA...they had a whole Dali display when we were there and it was amazing...they were showing parts of his movies and the art work that went with them. We went on to the top of the empire state building and saw the statue of liberty from battery park. We did a little shopping and went into Chinatown, Little Italy and Nolita. We went to the library there and they had a photograph display which was amazing too. We had our beer break about 3 o'clock every afternoon. We even found a beer garden in Battery Park. We went to a comedy club one night. We also saw Spam-a-lot and Young Frankenstein....both are so funny i can't even tell you! We even made it to central park and had a picnic (kind of) on our last afternoon there! Although earlier that week we got lost in central park and that wasn't fun! And we even got to see the Macy's fireworks from FDR...although it was raining on the 4th...it was still awesome!

But overall we had a great time and did about everything we wanted to do and more! :)

First we must welcome Julia into the world!! Sarah had her baby yesterday....a little girl...which surprised the hell out of me (i was sure it was going to be a boy). They decided not to find out what it was going to be....i am hoping to be able to do that...it think it would be an awesome surprise not to know! But also very, very hard....

Today...i'm turning in my 2.5 weeks notice! I'm a little nervous about it...what if something happens with the school or just whatever...even though i have signed a contract and all...but i have to do it anyway!!

So...we went and saw Ween a week ago this last Saturday....they were really awesome and they played for about 4 hours straight!! It was a little much for me...but that is not the point of this story...the point is when we got home we had no power in certian parts of our house....Cody and his dad decided the next day that the kitchen light was causing the breaker to trip...so we have not been using the overhead kitchen light. Yesterday...Cody and his dad put up a new light fixture in the kitchen and then hung a fan in the den....it is extremely funny to me how excited i get now about little home improvements!! It makes me very happy that I will not burn up everytime i'm in the den and that the house is looking more like Cody and I...In the week between jobs i'm planning on doing some painting.....i'm going to paint mainly just white in the hallways but i think it will make the house feel better!

So this makes two days in a row! :) woohoo! Its a good thing i have Whitney to keep me on track! :) Today...i went and activated my new debit card with my new last name on it....now they are going to send me another one because they didn't ask me if i wanted a picture or not....might as well have your picture on your debit card! Then i went to the jail and got my fingers printed. Why did you get your fingers printed you might ask....well....i got a new job (assuming that my background check goes okay :) After almost two years looking at medical records and determining if people are disabled...i've decided to go back to what i know. Music and teaching...so i will be teaching art and music for Dove Science Academy Elementary school next year. The more and more i think about it...the more and more i get excited about it...and i love the idea of teaching art, i get to use my craftiness and my music knowledge. Woohoo!

Then i went and got my hair cut....it so badly needed it! I had to take the purple out because of job interviews and i miss it! But there is always the summer! hehe!

Something else Whitney and I are talking about getting started is wedding planning. Helping people who want to think outside the box plan their weddings at a cost....we are still thinking about the cost part...and we will hopefully be working on getting a blog up about weddings/parties and stuff very soon...after we come up with a kick ass name!! Thats always the hardest part!

So the picture in todays blog will be from our honeymoon...and then i will blog about that sometime soon....if not this weekend Monday for sure!



I promise you the statue of liberty is right by Cody's head! :)

So....i've been think about starting a new blog lately...something that has more to do with the things i am currently into...such as crafting, possibly teaching, weddings, and married life...and many many other things!! But i think i have decided to just stick with this one, and just start writing more, and start talking about the things that i just mentioned.

So....i just got married and am loving married life so far. Not like Cody and I weren't pretty much married before, although its different when you think about it and realize that you will be with this person forever and you start to realize as a female all the things you have to do to get your named changed...trust me (and as most married women know) its a pain in the ass! And i have had to practice writing my new last name so that it wouldn't look like a 5th grader had written it, which it does on the marriage license and my new drivers license!

About the wedding: I seriously believe i had the most perfect wedding (for me anyway)..i loved it. It went even better than i had imagined it and that is saying a lot for spending 8 months planning. We had so much fun...and everyone that was in both of our parties were awesome and very helpful. I remember being so excited after we set up for the reception the wedding morning to see it all come together!! You have all these ideas in your head and you just pray it looks okay...and it did. After we decorate several of us went out to breakfast at Denny's...that was just so much fun and so relaxing...it was kind of like there wasn't going to be a wedding that day and we all just got together for breakfast on a Saturday morning regularly....(which would be kind of cool!! :) Anyway, i couldn't have ask for anything better! And my family was amazing! They totally surprised us with the poppers when we kissed....i loved it!

I'm SUPER excited to see all the pictures! Josh is amazing...this is the one Josh put up on his sneak peak and i LOVE it!! I haven't heard of anyone that was there that didn't have a good time! And thank you to all of you that where there!!



Speaking of pictures...which obviously i love, the ones from the disposable cameras are awesome too...they are so funny. I will have to put up some of them later....as this blog is getting long and i can actually think of about 20 more things to write about...i'll just have to write them down and save them for later!

And speaking of weddings and pictures....here are the pictures Josh took from Whitneys wedding! Everyone should check them out!

So coming up in future blogs....the honeymoon, my new job?, wedding planning?, more great pictures, probably more wedding talk...and with out a doubt many more things i don't even know about yet! :)

(fyi, my husband hate blogs and blogging! i find it rather humorous! :)
