hey

well I don't need to put to much effort into blogging today because Leah did such a good job covering all the bases in hers. My friend brandon will be in fort lauderdale for two weeks actually so we'll probably skateboard a little while he's here. Also, of course I am stoked (STOKED) to be able to see linkin park in concert and possibly see them back stage! I think the used, armor for sleep, atreyu, hawthorne heights, and some other amazing bands will be there too.

Now that we work we haven't been able to make it to the beach more than once a week (I know life is terrible), but I am going through withdrawel and really need to get back in the water. I reserved breaking dawn at the library, but I'll have to wait a little while till I can get it because there were already some people that reserved it before me.

what say leah.

hey guys... brent realized that me and him havent blogged in a long time so we decided to come blog. basically nothing much happened last weekend, but i had off saturday and sunday. saturday i just grocery shopped and went to the pool. and sunday we got to go to the beach!!!!! yay. then monday was a bore day.... i worked 1230-930. i sold 1300 something. tuesday.... i sold not much because we were putting a new line of clothes on the floor and setting stuff up like all day. then we got our kitty, kiki. he is adorable, i believe he is still a little scared of his new surroundings but we love him and like having him around. its nice to have a little guy to come home too. then wednesday i sold 2500 dollars!!! it was pretty busy. but none the less a great selling day. today wasnt really good for selling, there were 2 other people there besides me and its pretty dog eat dog. i just didnt really feel like playing that game, so when they stole my customers i just let it roll.... i need a day off. WHICH IS TOMORROW YAY! anywho, i miss everybody. i am so excited for all the visits that we have coming though. first, brents friend brandon is staying with his dad for like a week in fort lauderdale, and he bought brent a back stage pass to a concert with linkin park etc... thats tomorrow and he is very excited. then in the end of august the grandparents are coming in to town!!! woo.... !!!!!! then in mid september mom, dad, and joshy are coming down to visit (which makes me so excited :) ). then!!!! samantha schlesser bff duh, is coming down for the monthes of october,november, and little of december to work and stay with US!!!! HOW EXCITED IS ALL OF THIS NEWS. and brandon and ben have a road trip planned for november over thanksgiving.
so basically everybody loves and misses us. and that makes me happy.
and leah is going to be attending the university of pheonix as long as my financial aid goes through, i start in a few weeks. my advisor said that since i have like 1/2 of my classes done, i will have my associates in accounting in 12 monthes. then my bachelors will be done in 18 monthes. so basically life is good, except we are poor. but what can be expected! ANYWAYS!!! LOVE YOU MISS YOU... PEACE ANGELIA

say the leah

okay so today and yesterday were cool. I went to work both days from 9-6. I wasn't expected to actually start selling until 2 weeks after I started, and once I did start selling, I am supposed to meet my sales goal of 171 an hour so about 1400 a day, and everything over that is 5.25%..... BUT. I SOLD $$$$1301 YESTERDAY AND $$$$1535 TODAY!!!! How nuts is that. Seriously, it is so cool. I like my job, at times it is a little frustrating because there is this one lady that tries to steal customers, but the other ladies that I work with are cool. But yes!!!! Leah is a selling machine, my managers where shocked. But anywho, after work everyday me and brent have been going to the pool to help my feet, without weight on them and in water it feels so great, seriously. And then we eat dinner and read and go to bed. Seems a little boring but its nice to finally be making money. I have off Saturday and Sunday though so WOO HOO!!! Anywho.... I am going to go.
loveyou missyou peace angelia

McPanera

Today was my third day at Panera Bread. This first week they scheduled me only about 20 hours so after I got my schedule I had to confirm that I was a full time employee. Patty (boss) said "yes, I am trying to have you as full time." I don't know exactly how to interpret this but if im not scheduled full time hours next week then Ill be applying to another 100+ places. Also, since I know I can't afford to work part time and because panera was short staffed everyday i've been there so far, I took it upon myself to add an extra 2 and half hours to my schedule the first day, an hour and a half my second day, and an hour today. While at work, I've discovered that panera bread is nothing but glorified fast-food. They don't have much going for their employees when it comes to benefits either. I get a 50% discount but only within a half hour of the time I was clocked in at the store location that I worked. dumb.

It's great to hear from the Garcia's! We miss you guys too. I was bummed that we couldn't see you guys before either of us left town, but I hope you guys are doing well and like Colorado.

As leah will probably post, we are scheduled to officially adopt our cat KiKi on tuesday. We're both excited.

-Brent

says leah

okay well a few things to update on. i dont know if i posted about this or not already but this woman was trying to find a home for her cat or she would have to put it in the pound, and she came over yesterday with her cat to see how the kitty (KiKi) interacted with us. They were such nice people, they told us a lot of helpful information about the area and about hurricane preparations. They were seriously so nice to us. Anywho, Brent and I both loved the kitty and I believe we will get it some time this week. On other news I started my job today at 945. I went in and was supposed to have some boring 3 hour lecture in an orientation but the manager that was supposed to give it I guess wasn't there. So instead, I watched about an hour full of videos about store knowledge and all that and then I went on the floor to find my manager. Her name is Kay and she is super nice..... I have some other pretty cool managers, Judy and Sharon are my bosses, I am not shure in what department, but they are really nice too. But yeah today was so busyyy!!!! I got delegated certain sections of the store to organize and make look good, and we basically did that all day.... I actually had fun though. Then as I was leaving for the day at 645, they told me I was keeper:) And that I did a good job, so today is a good day. I am going to go find a book though. So loveyou missyou.... peace angelia

At the Library

After Leah and I were finished blogging yesterday we were both looking for books when a siren in the library went off. A librarian told Leah that it wasn't a drill and made everybody exit the building. We still don't know what the siren meant (whether there was a fire or something else) but we are back in the library now and everything is fine. On the way here from the beach leah and I mused over the fact that the library is our favorite place to go here. We come here as often as we go to the beach. Who would have seen that coming? Also, I didn't have a bookmark for the book im reading now so leah let me borrow hers. It's a picture of her, and her whole family together at the wedding. I think I'll try to make this a short post for once. That means that you guys need to give us more to talk about for next time. Ben, do you know when your leaving for a mission yet or planning to turn in your papers? Sam, give the blue girl a try, but if it has too much fairyland in it then try reading Leah's book, waking brigid. It's also pretty good so thats what I'm reading now. Also, I'm right there with you about hopping planes. There are schools in florida but no beaches in Idaho.

-Brent

say leah

leah didnt get any comments. but she will post anyways. I FOUND THE CAT I WANT(regardless to everybodys ridiculous comments).... its a cat. her name is boo boo, and i am going to buy her once me and brent are on our feet. she looks beautiful. i saw her on this animal rescue website and she is house trained, i love boo boo. AND BRENT GOT A JOB. we think... he will tell you more about him. but congrats to him, he worked VERY hard to get it. seriously. he was more determined more than ever and it happened for him. he starts monday as he will probrably tell you. anywho. i finished the book that i started reading, it was called Waking Brigid, it was a reallllyyy good book. Then I remember seeing that woman on Oprah, that escaped that polygamy cult in Arizona, and I really wanted to read her book and see how those people lived. Because I have never been able to wrap my head around how crazy that whole modern day polygamy thing must be, but the book is nuts. Everything those women went through must have been so hard, and they are all so brainwashed. You should all read it, its about this excommunicating Mormon group, the FLDS. The women cant drive, have money, they cant own books, they cant leave their house without their husband, they cant eat sweets, and they are required to be married by 20 or they are an OLD MAID. Its all just crazy to see how these people live, so if you are up for some discoveries, I would read it. Its called Escape with Laura Palmer. Anywho, yesterday Brent and I pretty much did job searching for him, then we went to the pool at night and watched the movie 10,000B.C., which is an awesome movie. And then we read for like 2 hours and went to bed. Today we went job searching in the morning(where Brent found this job YAY!!!) and then we went to the beach. It was really nice outside today, and Brent got his skimboard in that his mom shipped to him so he was excited. So anywho, got some stuff to do. And my family is at the beach without us which makes me sad. My dad sent me a text message last night and said Leah I need you help packing the car, and I bawled for like ever (which is monumental because me and my dad dont cry) and we didnt always get along but packing cars was something of our expertice :) It made me realize how much I miss him, and his jokes. I hope he reads this when he gets back from the beach. But I miss him more than anyone, that goofy man holds a very special place in my heart. sooo....
missyou loveyou
peace....angelia.

Panara Brent!

PGA is dumb and I'm too awesome to be employed by such losers so I got a job at panera bread instead. The new manager said she wanted me to start on wednesday. until then leah and I are trying to figure out how we are going to be at two different jobs at different times in two very different locations. ship my bike or buy a bike or find buses? Mom- how much did it cost to ship matt's bike to him? Anywho, leah has started on her second book in the few days that she has been reading. I told her reading was addicting (and free). Mom sent out my skimboard to me. Thanks mom.

I've decided that good writers are the ones that aren't completely sane. JK Rowling writes about wizards and magic so she's off her rocker, and stephenie meyer thinks vampires are romantic. I just finished a book called The Blue Girl by Charles De Lint that was pretty witty and was an overall pretty good story. It was about fairies (not good tinkerbell fairies, but mischevious devil fairies), ghosts, imaginary friends, and other sorts of paranormal.

Leah and I gave up fast food as soon as we got to florida in an attempt to become healthy people. We hadn't eaten it once until today because I had two free sandwich coupons at burgerking that were about to expire. We want to be healthy, but we are poor newlyweds that aren't about to pass up free food. Our kitchen is stocked with lots of fruit, lean meat, and actual ingredients as apposed to our old diets of microwave dinners and bagel bites. Since Im done my book I have to go look for a new one now. Anybody have any recommendations?

-Brent

READ ME

Leah makes fun of me for reading so much and now guess who I got to open a book! whoa. I almost feel bad though that we don't have anything else to occupy ourselves with that its come to Leah reading. I'm sorry sweetie. :(.
For prospective bad news, I called pga today to line up my last interview, and Juliana (would be boss) said that the schedule changed slightly giving her 6 more interviews today. she said the callbacks would be tomorrow. So I'll wait again tomorrow and probably give them a call in the evening. When I hung up I was slightly discouraged so we (leah is so helpful) applied to about 5 more places. My hopes are still up for the pga position because I really think there is no comparison between valeting at PGA National Golf Club and Resort vs. being a cashier at blockbuster.
Ben had to bring up the fact that the Batman sequel comes out tonight. Thanks ben. I want to see this movie so badly. So let me know how it is.
Reply to Sam's comment: We definitely are going to go see twilight and dress up like vampires. This movie might be higher up on my list than even batman. We might have a hard time persuading Leah though because even though she started reading one book she still laughed at me when I suggested she try reading twilight. Why does a vampire teen romance novel sound so dumb? that's retoracle. don't answer it.
We met one of our neighbors today when she was walking her two dogs. She confirmed leah's assumption that it was easy to get away with having pets without paying the pet deposit. Everyday I hear more reasons from leah why we should have either a cat or a dog, but I'm still against the idea until we have steady jobs and schedules, and till we have our lives a little more under control.
Leah and I agree that we miss her siblings a ton. I already knew what it was like to be seperated from siblings. It was surprisingly hard when Chris, Julie, and Matt all left the house so I know leah must miss her brothers and sister being around all the time. I know it's really hard for parents too. I hope you guys are all doing well. We love and miss you.

-Brent


ps. oh no! Leah is searching for pets on her computer right now. Help.

life according to leah.

heyyy all.
i have news. i am officially reading a book(for leisure), suprisingly, not as gay as I thought. Yesterday night out of COMPLETE AND UTTER BOREDOM, i started reading one of brents books that he got from the library. its actually a really good book. anywho, i was pretty bummed when i didnt get to start my job on time like i was supposed to on tuesday because they didnt have enough people. but i get to go in a fill out paper work tomorrow at 2, then i start at 10am this coming tuesday. we went to the beach today, the water is so amazing here, you can see straight through it (compared to ocean city)... but yes its amazing. so we just swam then laidout and read our books. we must have looked like dorks. but its okay. anywho, not much else to say


loveyou missyou
peace.. angelia

books, movies, and jobs (in order of importance)

I finally got a membership to the library here! woot. so I checked out two books yesterday because the one I got at target turned out to be terrible. Why can't everybody write like Stephenie Meyer or JK Rowling? The fourth and final book of the twilight series comes out early in August and I can't wait to get it. My mom is trying to mail out my skimboard so im excited to get it. Tons of people down here skimboard so maybe ill end up meeting some cool people that way. The other night me and leah walked by the movie theatres when we were together and leah decided that she wanted to go see sex and the city. I really did not want to go see it, but I think I would have if she couldn't compromise to a more gender neutral (ha) movie. So at about the time I was giving in and getting ready to get the tickets she says that she is going to go see it but that she is going to get me a ticket to a different movie. She put her foot down and absolutely wouldn't let me go into the theatre with her. WEIRD. so she ended up seeing her movie while I watched the incredible hulk. I'm still a little confused about it.
Today was the first day in a while that we haven't gone to the beach. The weather was actually less than perfect so we settled with a quick trip to the pool that is across the street from our apartment. I'm nervous about the pga job. I really want it, and Ill be angry if i cut my hair for nothing. Tomorrow is supposed to be my last interview for the job. I'll let everyone know what happens as soon as I find out myself.

say leah

so brents gay, he didnt post. but we are at the library now and i will do a short one. today we went to the beach and they went shopping for me to try to find comfortable heels(joke right), anyways brent actually found the winners. he found a super cute pair of heels for 6 bucks at payless down here, then i found a pair for 9. so 15 dollars for 2 super cute pairs of shoes. so anways, i was supposed to start my job tomorrow but they called me and told me that they dont have enough people in orientation so i have to start next tuesday. i was a little sad, but then i realized i can go to the beach tomorrow so its okay with me HAHA. anways, then we came home and ate lunch. then me and brent did scrapbooking!!!!! we got done officially 1/2 of our wedding scrapbook. me AND BRENT!!! yes my friends, brent scrapbooks. we did the whole 9 nine yards, with the stickers and pictures and colored paper and shapes and all the cute stuff, me and brent both did pages by ourselves. it looks so good. we still have to do the other half of the album, but we made a lot of progress. me and brent both grew up in box picture famiies. meaning, all of our pictures that arent digital(Excluding my baby album mom) are sitting in boxes their garage getting older... brent claims the same thing, except he says his are in boxes in storage.
SOOOOOOO i decided we will be scrapbook people, non box having people, time for a change.(no offense families.. i loveyou) but, i am excited. all of our pictures that we have taken since we have been married, are in an album too. which while i am on the subject of pictures, SAMANTHA SCHLESSER'S WEDDING PICTURES THAT I MADE FOR HER ARE ON HOLD. until samantha schlesser sends me the cute pictures from hershey park, to put in our short bus buddies album. sam... i have about 15 FREAKING CUTE WEDDING PICTURES, that i want to send to you, that i cant send to you, because i have no hershey park pictures that i was promised. i am waiting miss sam....me. ha..jkjk. anyways, i miss sam. and i m iss ben. and i m iss brandon. mostly sam, but anyways. this has turned into a dreadfully long post that i will end... now. because i am hungry.




ps... mom i fixed your link. and show this post to Josh, and tell Josh, that if Josh does not call his sister, his sister is going to get very upset. His sister calls him, and he does not talk to her, so if he does not call me, we are not friends. the end of storyJOSH.

there is a lot of capitilization in this post.geez

k well I had my final interview with Macy's on Saturday, and I GOT THE JOB. I start full time Tuesday, I have orientation from 9-3 that day, then I train on registers for 2 days. They say you should be ready to go on the floor on Friday. But they don't expect you to start the comission sales for 2 weeks which is a relief. And this job is full time, and when I told them about my college classes they were fine with it. If financial aid goes as planned I will be going to school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights. Its only part time, but with us being out of state residents, they are charging us 270 dollars per credit hour, and each classes is usually 3 credits. So thats like 900 dollars a class. For instate, its 75 per hour, so its like 1/3 of the cost after this year of being out of state. We will go full time as soon as we are considered in state, so next summer. And they wont consider us as independents, so we are basically getting the money of a dependent child, and you cant live on that. sooo... thats the deal with school. BRENT GOT HIS HAIRCUT AND HE LOOKS LIKE SUCH A HOTTIE :) haha... but really he looks adorable. Yesterday we went to beach, then i had my interview, then we went out since I got a job. We went to see the movie Wanted, which was this action movie.....but it was an awesome movie. So today we went to the beach, but it rained so we left, then we went shopping for me to get a suit and I found 2 of the most perfect suits, 1 was a pants suit(usually I cant get pants suits because they are too long, and they look like clown pants) but these fit perfect, then a skirt suit, one had a long sleeved jacket and one had a short sleeved jacket, so I can mix and match. And they were both only $20 dollars each at ROSS discount store(they have one in York too, you ladies/men should go there to shop, because everything is cheap and amazing). Anyways, we are at the library now and I have some things to do, so I will go. leave comments people.
loveyou missyou
p-e-a-c-e...angelia

every time I log on I plan on leaving a small post but then this happens-

theres not much to update you guys on. Leah and I still aren't positive if either of us have landed the jobs. Leah is at her third and final interview at macy's right now though so my fingers are crossed. The weather has been amazing the past few days, but a thunderstorm is rolling in as im typing. I'm seriously disappointed about the whole alligator thing. I got my first decent night of sleep last night. I think I might warm up to our new bed after all. Since we don't have cable tv I grabbed a random book off of the shelf at target for cheap. It was an author I've never heard of, but it actually is pretty decent writing. Most of our time is still being soaked up by the beach, job interviews, grocery store trips, clothing store trips (for leahs potential job), paperwork for school, bills, mail, getting wedding business in order and things of that nature. Most importantly the beach though. Leah has been complaining much lately about the fact that my back is super tan and my chest and stomach look the the creme on an oreo cookie. So today we went to the beach while the sun was strong and I laid out while I continued to read my new book.

I'm really glad everybody enjoys reading the blog. Connie, your comments are hilarious, mostly about convincing sam that alligators are big lizards. Ha. And we can't wait to show you and Brad the nice beaches down here. Lori and Mom, I've been contemplating cutting my hair, but so far it didn't seem like a big deal at PGA. I probably will cut it though. Ben, I think I'm about to stop checking your blog everytime I get on the computer. And what's this about trek? were you there all three days? Congrats on the Eagle Scout. Go get a job that's better than everybody elses now :). Sam, keep us updated on your plans and whats going on in lebanon. Whats going on with your internet?

Hopefully next time we update one of us will assure you we have a job. till then, leave comments...

-brent

leah....

okay well the comments are lacking on brents post. goodnesspeople.
anyways, since I posted. we got our mattress in and I think its amazing. but brent still cant sleep, I think its just in his head, because this bed is amazing. anyways, yesterday Brent had his interviews like he said, and I am excited for him. And he is at his Lowe's interview as we speak. Today we had to go back to the school to resubmit some stupid paperwork, but like while we where in line some stupid security guard guy walked in and turned off all the lights and was like we are closed. how dumb is that, it was like 12 noon and the hours said it was open till 4. so it was just weird. then we went and returned some things at ross and looked for me a suit. BECAUSE I GOT THE JOB AT MACYS!!! WOOO.... I hope I did at least, because she said once you have your third interview you are basically hired, and my third is tomorrow at 3. so I am excited.... but I was looking for a suit today, and I was unsuccessful... basically because I am short, all the pants look like clown pants. soo... we have to look more tonight. Anyways, its gorgeous outside(like it is everyday), so I am going to go to the pool to wait for Brent to get home. Then we are going to the beach. Well loveyou missyou peace...angelia.

tofu

Yesterday when Leah was at the library she found out that the valet position was open again for PGA national golf club. So this morning I went over filled out an application and asked for an interview. The first interview went well so the woman scheduled another interview for the afternoon.
In between interviews I had to take my placement test at pbcc since I'm a freshman. That was fun. not really. But when I was done, Leah picked me up and we went back to the apartment to eat lunch. she also bought me some cheap dress shoes so that I would look decently professional. I had to take out my ear rings because the first woman to interview me said their male employees can't have peircings (whatever). So I drove back to PGA and had 3 mini interviews with different people. All the interviews went well, but I still need one more interview before they can officially hire me. That interview will probably be next wednesday. The job sounds pretty amazing during the winter because my would be boss said that she has seen some valet attendants walk out in a single night with over $300. Thats during the in season though. Currently she said business is pretty slow and some of the guys are leaving at the end of the day with only a few dollars in their pockets. I don't know whether I should take the job or not. It will depend on whether leah gets the job at macy's and also how my interview at lowes goes tomorrow.
Leah and I almost died when we found out that the school won't let us resubmit papers for financial aid now that we are married. We have to wait a year to resubmit so we are screwed for this semester. I think that I'll have to go part time this semester and then transfer to a nearby university next semester so I can change my financial aid status. We're worried, but we'll figure it all out.
People skimboard here a lot more than they do in Maryland so I can't wait to get my board shipped down. Im also really surprised at how different the beaches are here. the waves move like you're in an enormous wave pool. The water is so clear that I have to taste it everytime to know that its not spring water. There are tons of surfers down here, and there is fishing off the piers at the same areas that people are swimming and boogie boarding (that kinda scares me).

hey guys...
well today me and brent had a load of crap to do. first we had to turn in our rent check, and get proof of residency so we could get our new licenses. and then we had to go actually get our licenses. which I must add are so much cooler than PA licenses. they have colors and they are just cooler, and my license picture is pretty fab, just like the last one. that whole license picture sucks thing just doesnt apply to me. not to be a snot, but my license is maddd coool!!! lol. hehe anyways, then i went and did a bank deposit while mr brent made lunch at home. then we had lunch (i finally cleaned out the car today). literally since we moved down here, we havent gotten any crap out, we had like a foot tall pile of just crap all over the car that was starting to smell rotten, so i figured it was time. so I cleaned then I came to the library so I could write on the blog and just do internet stuff. Anywho, WE GET OUR MATTRESS LIKE AS WE SPEAK THEY ARE DELIVERING IT!! WOOO... I will give more updates tomorrow.


loveyou missyou peace...a ngelia

another leah post

hey guys.
so me and brent like really hate our bed. seriously our bed is the owrst bed that you have ever slept on in your life. we want to throw it off our terrace. actually brent said he wants to attack it with his pocket knife. HAHAHA.... Anywho, we need a new bed. Sometimes you get what you pay for (like with generic poptarts and beds). Last night we watched this boring video on skimboarding... I fell asleep. Then we went to bed, but we woke up a gillion times because of our gay bed. Then we got up around 9, had waffles, and I got ready for my next interview at Macy's. I got offered a job at Bed, Bath, and Beyond but its only part time. I think I have this job, but I have to wait 2 days for my background check to come in, then I call them on Friday. Anywho, its full time sales in one of the clothing departments. But I hope I get it. You have to wear suits or dresses so its like a professional job. Which excites me, anyways. I want to go get in the pool, and I am bored with this computer so loveyou missyou peace... angelia

random thoughts of brent

hmmm.... its tuesday and leah is at her second job interview at macy's. I just got back from walking around the nearest shopping center applying for jobs, but I haven't had any luck. I walked into a deli, pharmacy, pizza shop, meat store, nice bar and restaurant, and I think one more place. None of them were hiring! pshhh what a load of dung.
I did apply to target, home depot, and the gap yesterday though so I need to give them 24 hours for the applications to go through then I can call them. I got out my skateboard today but there isn't much of an area to skateboard here. That's nothing new though. I've been having a lot of fun with being married and especially seeing people's reactions to me and leah as a couple. Today I walked into the computer lab and the woman on duty asked to see my ID because you have to be 18 to get on the computers. She was being a bit of a jerk so I asked her if there was a problem. She said no but made me sign in on some roster (that I've never seen any other time I've gotten on the computers). I signed in and she noticed my ring and got all embarrassed.
HAAA!! stupid woman. She really was being a jerk.
We still haven't seen any alligators, but we're keeping a lookout. We're really excited that so many of you guys are planning trips to come see us.

-Brent

oh ps. Ben you need to post more often on your blog. it's pretty disappointing. :(

leahs post

so we still dont have internet, but we ordered it today and we are excited. i only have 5 minutes left on the library computer so here it goes. brent and i this past weekend have gone to the beach like everyday, its been good(hes getting a tan line) lol. anyways, it has been fun. and we learning the hassle of keeping up an apt. I had to clean the bathroom the other day, it was saddening. anyways, i got offered 2 jobs(in the works). one at macys and one a bed,bath, and beyond, hopefully the one with macys goes through though because I want that. And its full time, and i get to wear cute clothes. plus its comission and we all know how convincing I can be. So anywho, I have other stuff to do, we will update more later, but we still miss all you guys a bunch... if brent has time to update today I think he will, he is applying online right now to the sports authority, like dicks sporting goods. he is experiencing job stress, but it all will work out. anyways, loveyou missyou

peace

ben(as soon as i can get on my laptop and use the net I will put your pic back up. you had one but now its gone, i deleted it by mistake. l0ve ya)

according to brent

well we thought we'd have internet in our apartment but we don't. So, we can't post when or where we'd like to, and that makes it hard to upload pictures. I did see the first lizard yesterday though and have pictures of it. I named the little guy albert. I think it suited him nicely. Also, when we were arriving in florida I saw a lotus (dream sports car). I had to wipe the drool off my chin after I snapped a couple pictures of it.
The last two days we have been extremely busy. We've been unpacking and shopping and unpacking more. Our first shopping trip was three cart fulls at wal-mart. We're already learning about the area (nice areas and areas to stay away from). Yesterday we bought a ton of furniture. We have a dresser, a bed, a loveseat, and a kitchen table and chairs. We also used our target giftcards to get a rug, tv stand, and a couple other things. I had to drive a U-haul to get the stuff to our apartment. That was fun. The thing was massive and impossible to park anywhere.
Today we are applying to jobs and financial aid. We also need to go on another small shopping trip.
We'll try to post again soon with pictures. We are going to need internet soon so we're trying to find an easy (and cheap) way to get it. We miss you guys.

Leah Says HA

OKAY. well the deal with the pictures is that we can't upload them right now because we dont have internet at our apartment. We have like an internet cafe of sorts at the clubhouse, but we dont want to upload our personal stuff onto it ya know? So I know everyone is dying to see what it looks like but we trying to find a way to get them up. Anywho. These past few days have been so crazy. Basically the first day we got here we went to our college, unpacked our car and then had the biggest shopping spreee I have ever seen at Walmart. We filled up 2 full carts in the store with just household stuff, then we rung out and loaded the car, then came back in for food. It was nuts, then we basically had to unpack the car all over again. Then we slept on the floor haha. Then the next day we went to Goodwill, and got a loveseat, bed, table and chairs, and dresser all for like 400 dollars. Cool Stuff. Then we went to Target and got a rug and stuff for the house. BRENT MADE DINNER! He made this chicken and biscuits thing for us and it was super cute. Then we went to bed, after I did some neurotic cleaning. Today we just have to go to the school and open up a bank account blah blah blah. Fun stuff! keep you posted.
