Typical...

I know I know- bout time! Time to update for 2011 till now!

We have really been enjoying living down here in Fayetteville and our new home! I’m still working as an assistant manager at Hibbett Sports and Pete still a firefighter in Henry county- but he is also helping our friend Jared Jambor sellingNight Rider Jewelry. A few pieces me and pete has:

The BradburytheCovenant

and I have:

The Fleur De Lis band

Pete swaps shifts so he can get about one week a month off to go help Jared sell jewlry all along the east coast. Zeus and I accompanied them to Daytona Bike week which I’ve avoided Daytona arond Spring Break time my whole life because of this event... and now I was purposefully going!

Zeus absolutely loves the beach- the fresh sand and the cool water just are so irresistable for a dog like him! You’d think he’d get too hott with all his fur, but it’s worth it!

Merry Christmas!

So surprise to me! We had a new family member delivered a few days before christmas!! Mike (petes brother) Flew this lil fluff ball down from Chicago for Pete and they walked in one morning carrying this lilbundle of joy! We decided to call him Zeus! He is a Samoyed which is sorta like a huskie but you don’t really see them down here in the south very often (which of course we love) But so far he has been quite a change for our lil family of 2! Good prep for one day having kids that’s for sure! He is 11.5 weeks old and about 15 lbs now (already growing so much for the few weeks we’ve had him!) He knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and roll over! Quite a lileinstein on our hands. The funnies thing we’ve taught him is to ring the bell when he wants to go outside. It is a little service bell and he’ll just look at you waiting to be served! He loves sitting out in the snow and this super cold weather we’ve had. He loves playing with other dogs- him and Jack(parents dog) got a long so well! Snickers(mike and mercy’s dog) is still a little rough when he plays- but Zeus is always asking for more. We have had muchbetter sleep the last few nights and he will bark and let us know when he needs to go potty about 7 or 7:30 every morning. We love him dearly and I was so surprised that we acctually got a puppy I was a lil speachless when he walked in!

New Residence!

so we bought a house!!!! We now reside in Fayetteville near Peachtree City. It is about 25 miles to pete’s work and I found a job down here in Griffin at Hibbett Sports as an assistant manager! We went in with Pete’s brother Mike and his family to get the property that neither of us could afford by ourselves.. but as a team we get this sweet lay out and have great neighbors! It is on Lake Horton and sits on 7.5 acres. There are two houses.. we obviously have the smaller one on the left in the first picture and Mike and Mercy and their 5 kids live in the one on the right. The two are connected by an air conditioned breezeway that also hooks to the garage. The basketball court cement was already there at the house just ready for us to play on (we added the goal) Our house has some work to be done like laundry hook ups and we are going to be adding a kitchen this year sometime. The closets are huge! And as of now since there are no children yet we get to have our own closets for the time being! We love our new ward and have started to feel more comfortable living down here about 1 hr 15 min away from my parents. (The tv is also now up on the wall, added 2 mini ottomans in the living room, and our curtains are on rings and makes our curtains longer. Some of the decorations have been put up also and we acctually have pictures on our walls)

Carribean Cruise 2010

Pete's family reunion this year was an all adult Carnival cruise to the Carribean.

1st stop.. Key West :Day full of Beach Volleyball and w

alking around town

2nd Stop: Grand Cayman Islands- Snorkling and swimming at Sting Ray City

3rd stop- Ocho Rios Jamaica- Zip Line and ATV rides

We really loved our time with family and on the beautiful ship! We highly recommend the ATV and Zip line in Ocho rios.. it was all together a wonderful experience (called H'EVANS SENT i believe) We loved playing card games and going to the shows at night. The ice cream machine got worked the whole week. Mike won the free-throw competition on boat. We had perfect weather the whole week. We had plenty of relaxing time out in the sun. And the food was superb! We really would love to go on another soon!

A wave to the parents and all those who supported us through school. Where's Lisa?!

Left foot.. BROKEN

So about 7 weeks ago Pete decided to get together a team for a charity basketball tournament called Hoops for the Homeless. Sounded great as it would be right after we'd get back from moving my brother and

sister in law down to GA from Chicago. Pete was on a rolll being charitable and all and then....

which needed...

which leads to...

and.

..

and now looks more like...

Synopsis: pete goes up for a rebound.. guy takes em out in the air... lands on foot.. which gives way and lands hard on elbow.. broken fibula in 2

spots, broken radius bone in elbow, plate and 11 screws in leg, 12 weeks of recovery, 3 x a week Physical Therapy (started last week), and will get screws out at the beg. of next month... can't work for another 6-8 weeks light duty when he can walk on it..now he can atleast use crutches!

What a trooper!! or shall I say Mountaineer?!

Internship/New Job!

So this semester has been a breeze so far and lots of fun! I am doing my internship with A5 Volleyball Club which is one of the most prestigious clubs in the whole southeast.. How lucky am I to be learning from the coaches and these girls! I help coach the 15-1s team (aka the best 15 yr olds that tried out in the area). We have won our first 2 tournaments and it has been a blast! I am proud of our girls, but there is still a lot of growing and learning for all of us!

I also interviewed last week with a company called The Fun Pack. I found the posting off craigslist, and Got the job! I will be part of a team who goes to different daycares (mainly in gwinnett and Alpharetta I am told) And teach them the very basics of many different sports. This next week I will be teaming up with a girl and learning from her and then wed. I will be all by myself teaching day care kids basketball! (how perfect for my first lesson!) This experience I feel will greatly benefit me in my marketing and make me want to truely market myself so I can get paid more! (I get paid per kid in the class.. so recruit more kids = more money!) The lessons are only 30 min long! I can do anything for 30 min! But I am so excited as this will be perfect for my schedule! http://www.thefunpack.com/Programs.html

We are also officialy moving back in with my parents in Gwinnett which will cut my traveling time to this new job immencely! The main reason why we are moving is to quickly save money for a house! We could still live in our apt and be just fine.. but the savings would go by soo much slower! But we are really excited about moving back in since we have so much fun with my family!
