Bikes

I finally took a couple pics of our bikes. We have been riding everyday between 5 and 10 miles. It is actually really nice when the sun starts to go down and its about 75 degrees out. We live in a pretty safe area so the neighbors are great. Its nice to walk out the door without my mace!

Gas

The gas prices here are ridiculous! We paid $3.17 last week. We realized that we were on the wrong side of town this is the cheapest that I have seen!


(Notice the KFC)

War Park

We drove by a park near our house with some interesting things and like a couple of tourists we stopped to take pictures!

Last Day.

Here are a couple of pics from Stepho's last day at Interstate. After working at a great company with some amazing guys it will be hard to adjust...but as long as UPS had great food I think he will make it!

One of the guys made him this ridiculous hat and for some reason he put it on!

Finally.

We finally have the Internet. They came yesterday evening and installed it. We have emptied all of our boxes and put together all of our new furniture and now....we wait! We have gotten a little bored the past couple days. I don't start work for another week and Stephen has 3 weeks!!! We bought bikes and we have been going riding every night after dinner (we are both having trouble walking). There is a great park near us that has some beautiful scenery but the hills are killer on a bike. We also found a great ice cream parlor down the road (our bikes are drawn to it). We also bought tennis rackets, we pretty much stink butt we try! We also bought a grill ($10 from wal-mart....we aren't made of money) so Stephen made us some wonderful turkey burgers! We visited a church near our house on Sunday b/c the pastor there had graduated from the seminary the Stephen will be attending but we quickly found out the he graduated before the current president of the school took over...Southern was pretty liberal before. We probably wont be going back there but hopefully we will find a good church soon so that we can get plugged in and meet a few people. We haven't actually met anyone yet but that's okay for now. We did however find out that a couple of our neighbors go to the seminary...we haven't banged on there door yet begging for friendship...maybe tomorrow. We tried looking up tourist info to find something to do we planned on a float trip today but the river is too low and the Belle of Louisville (dinner/cruise) is too expensive. Most of the other things that sounded like fun were outdoors and its not Texas but its still 90+ out. Well that's about all that's going on here. I will update again when I have something a little bit more interesting!

One Picture

I am on the laptop again and since it doesn't work very well I onyl have one picture for you! This is our living room...



Hopefully I will have the internet on our actual computer soon because I have lots to show ya'll!

Stealing the Internet

Well we are in our new apt. we dont actually have internet access yet but the neighbors do and luckily our laptop allows us to use it! We finally emptied all the boxes and we got some new furniture and put it together. It finally looks like a home in here. I will havae pics soon. Praise God for a safe trip!

D-Day

Today is the big day! We will be leaving in about an hour. We will try to drive most of the way today and get home tomorrow about noon or so. Hopefully everything will go well and we will have a safe trip. Remember us in your prayers the next couple of days and we will call when we have made if home!

Friends

We have been spending some quality time with our friends and family lately before the big move and the more we see them the more we realize how much we are going to miss them.

On Tuesday Abida cooked us some amazing mexiacan food and we played a little Xbox...I must mention that Abida kicked Stephens butt (while holding Rashid).


Denise and Isgie joined us and Stephen read her a book...she loves him!


Tonight we met up with Joel and Gabby at On the Border for more mexican food and some frozen custard.




We love you guys and we will miss you dearly!

The most wonderful day

The greatest day of my life in 4 minutes!

We made a trip down to Gun Barrell City today to visit my Pawpaw. We wont be able to get back down there before we leave so this was goodbye! We had a very nice visit and hopefully he will be able to keep up with the blog!

Bonding with Uncle Stephen!


Chug Chug...lol


We will miss you!

Happy Birthday to ME...again!

Tonight we celebrated my birthday with my family. We all went out for some great chinese food and then I opened all my web cams (lol, everyone had a great idea and I guess they didnt want to tell each other!)









Thanks for a wonderful evening...and thanks Lan for pooping on uncle Stephen (never a
dull moment)!

Tha Taylors

This past week I spent a day with my sister and the Taylors by the pool...here are a few pics.

AHHH!

This is us FREAKING OUT about the fact that we only have 2 1/2 weeks before the big move!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

I am now 20!!!


I had a wonderful Birthday...My hubby brought me a dozen red roses and gave me some cashola to get a few things a really wanted befor we move.


...Abida and Rashid took me to La Madeline for lunch and we spent the day shopping at Northpark....She also treated me to Gelato (yummmm my fave) She also got me the greatest gift ever! Nikki's Day of Luxury...It included all kinds of lotions, body wash, a manicure set form the Body shop, candles, potpouri...all kinds of little kink knacks just for me!



We met up with Brandi and Gary at Macaroni Grill to celebrate my birthday and fathers day since we were out of town...we had a lovely dinner!


After dinner Stephen took me to do a little more shopping and we came home with some wine and watched a movie...It doesnt get much better than that!
Thanks everyone for calling and wishing me well.
(Thanks Sissy for trying to wait until my actual time of birth...sorry I kept calling!lol)

Family Reunion

This past weekend we were in Pennsylvania for Debbie's family reunion. It was actually a lot of fun. I had never met Stephen's grandpa so that was nice and we had a wonderful picnic all day Saturday.

This is the view from Grandpa Payonk's back porch!



This is at the picnic...the scenery cannot even be compaired to anything it Texas.


I found a vine and decided to swing on it!


We also found a giant slide! We had to kick some little kids off but we got a turn!

Our New Home

The past couple of weeks have been crazy...but I have some cute pics!Here are a few

These crazy horses are all over town...we havent quite figured out why but we think its because of the Kentucky Derby.


This is Lynn's Paradise Cafe A*K*A the cutest Cafe EVER! I dont know if you can see in this pic but they also have a horse....They were on Oprah b/c of there Mac and Cheese and it was actually pretty amazing!


This is the bridge to Indiana. We went over but came back pretty quick...there not much to see!


And of course we had to stop at White Castle...its not as good as I remember!


We had a great time but it was mostly business!

Nurse Nikki

Well it is official. I am a nurse. I took my state boards on tuesday and I found out this morning that I passed. There is a lot of red tape in nursing but its finally over. Here is a quick look at the next few weeks for us...We are leaving in the morning for Pennsylvania for the Payonk family reunion. We will be coming home on Sunday from that. We have three weeks b4 the big move. Next weekend we are celebrating my birthday with the family and we are having a going away BBQ at Inwood. We hope to have yet another garage sale b4 we leave and then we are off! Its crazy that we are leaving so soon...I keep forgeting that when we leave we wont come back!!!

Perfect

Everything has gone perfectly! I had my job interview yesterday morning and it went great and they offered me the position.



Stephen had an interview at UPS this morning that also went perfectly! He got the job and has 2 options. He can work at the airport and load the UPS planes there or at the distribution center and load trucks! I think the airport sounds like more fun but we will see.



And last but not least we signed our lease this afternoon on a townhouse. It is very similar to what we have now except it is only one bedroom. It is 2 story and has 1 1/2 baths. It has great closet space and we live the little fenced in backyard here are a few pics so you can see what I am talking about! I hope you love it as much as I do!!!

Costochondritis

If you know me very well or have spent any amount of time with me at all you have heard me complain of "chest pain". I have this weird pain that feels like me chest is caving in or "overlapping" on itself. It gives the sensation that someone has got my heart in there hand and squeezes randomly, not all the time and its not an unbearable pain but everyday at some point or another it happens. Many people have laughed at me (I forgive you) and others have called me a hypochondriac ( I forgive you too). Well my hubby finally got tired of my wining and a little worried because it has been going on for a while so I went to the doctor today. He diagnosed me with costochondritis. Basically the cartilage between my ribs and my sternum is inflamed. He said its not really something to worry about and is very common is girls my age. He prescribed me some steroid's and he said that should take care of it. I just wanted to let everyone know that I wasn't making it up and it really does hurt!
