There's No Place Like Home

I have gotten several requests to put up pictures of our humble abode but it has been a mess!! I cleaned it the other day so here you go!!

Entertainment center...we love our movies!!!

Still a little messy....


Our little kitchen/breakfast nook

...and since we don't have a dryer this is how we dry our clothes!! That's our bathroom back there and our linen closet!

New and Improved [yay for beauty school!]

I have been changing my hair A LOT this month. You have seen my new color...although the one in the picture below is a box and I put permanent Redken color on it its very similar...and today I cut it!! My teacher works at Salon 5th Avenue (which is where I want to work when I graduate) and usually charges about 40 bucks for a hair cut and used me as a demonstration so he cut mine in class for absolutely nothing!!!! I love it and am so excited to have something different!!! So here's some pictures!!!

I HATE cockroaches

So its funny how I am sitting here talking to Ali about how I am terrible at blogging because I never take pictures so I never have anything to blog about. Ironic that there is this weird little noise coming from my kitchen...I just thought it might be out cute little turtles playing in the rocks...NO. I look over and realize there is still a pot of macaroni and cheese on the stove. WITH A HUGE FREAKING COCKROACH IN IT. I tell people I hate living here and I hate the cockroaches but I really don't think some of you realize how bad it is. So I included a picture of a mommy cockroach finishing Derek's dinner. Enjoy...cuz that's what I live with! GAH GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Notice I said mommy cockroach...that's not even the biggest one I've seen in my house.

Florida [sucks] But we're surviving : )

So again, I suck at blogging but I have an excuse!!! We don't have internet but i'm stealing the hospital's that we live by!!! We don't especially like it here so this is definitely just a temporary move JUST for school. Derek is going to Audio Recording Technology Institute in Orlando. He loves it!!! He just started working the graveyard shift at Circle K and is always sleepy. He usually goes to school 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. during the day then works 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. so he hardly has time to sleep. I love him so much and he works so hard. Bless his heart. I love school!!! I am going to The Salon Professional Academy and studying cosmetology. We started highlighting with foils today!!! It is so much fun to do!!!! I interviewed at Ruby Tuesdays on Tuesday (ha) and tonight I interviewed with the general manager. So hopefully they'll like me!!! I also have and interview at Outback Steakhouse tomorrow that my sister helped me get. So hopefully I will be able to find a job and make some bangin' tips to help Derek out and take some of the stress off of him. So we're doing pretty good other than the stress. My dad is helping us out a lot. I am getting a car this weekend/next weekend that he is helping us with. Even though we don't love it here we just have to keep telling ourselves we have less than a year!!!

Living the married life is AWESOME it is sooooo much fun!!!! Although we don't see eachother as much because of out crazy schedules we have the best time together. I love Derek so much and I am so happy with him!! He treats me soo good and takes very good care of me. I feel so lucky to have him as my husband and one day eternal companion.

Derek dyed my hair for me the other night too ha ha out of a box too (gasp...forgive me redken!!). It is VERY dark but I love it and he picked out the color. We made a big mess all over our bathroom floor and my face. But it looks really good! Everyone says I look so much older with it dark. I like it a lot!!!

My grandmama threw me a bridal shower last weekend with out family and some friends. It was a lot of fun!! We ate chicken salad and yummy cake. I got lots of good stuff for the house and tons of gift cards for groceries!!
