It's been a while....

1. Haha, it's been since october since we did this last, we apparently fail at blogging. I think it's because we feel like such boring people, we haven't done much at all in the past couple of months.

2. I started school again this semester and Corey is still working like crazy. He had a couple of long weeks and hours since the earthquakes happened. In fact, it's waaaay past time he should be home right now and dinner is waiting but no sign of my husband... stupid army. I'm pretty sure they are just sitting in the office waiting around doing nothing too.

I told Corey I would update this with pics from last weekend, so I guess now is as good a time as any to do it. =)

3. Luckily, we treated ourselves to a new camera for valentines day since I broke our last one, so we were able to take some pictures recently... electronics + yoli = bad

4. I saw book reviews on many people's pages to read the Hunger Games and the sequel, and so of course I downloaded them on my kindle and read them in a day... hehe I'm a sucker for a good book.

5. So last weekend we had nice 65-70 degree weather for the first time a couple months, so we decided to explore one of the closer state parks we had never been to. Raven Rock state park- it is small, but I found it charming and the trails were pretty nice and led us to the Cape Fear river.

6. Of course, we took the puppies with us...
Here are some pictures... we are still playing around with the new camera....

Me and the bunny at the start of the trails.

There was actually some elevation in this trail.

7. We bought gym memberships at Gold's gym even though we get free access to the ones on post. This gym is so much closer, literally a few minutes away, so hopefully I will be encouraged to go more often since I have a PT test soon....

8. I can't think of anything else at the moment, you would think that we had more to report, but no. We are just busy with our work and school, relaxing on the weekends and not really going out. Maybe we will get to updating this again in another week or month or so... =)

Ten for the Week

1. Corey got a four day last weekend, which would have been filled with a lot of fun things since the weather has been pretty nice lately. Unfortunately, I think I had food poisoning so I was very sick. Corey has been struggling to get over a cold/flu and has also been very sick lately. We spent the long weekend laying in bed and on the couch as a result.

2. Thanks to a weekend in bed, I spent a lot of time reading. Just finished Fire by Kristin Cashore and a couple of Merecedes Lackey books. Loved them all and can't wait to read the next installments.

3. We finally got Bunny to do a new trick besides Sit and Up. She can now lay Down! She's a slow learner.

4. We started working on the bug more lately. We have decided we are going to have to completely take it apart, probably to the frame, to get it as nice as we want in the end. This is a hobby that we both really enjoy and don't get enough time to play with.

5. I thought our porch was looking way too lonely and I really wanted to do some sort of holiday decorations, so we splurged and bought two nice wooden rocking chairs. We hope it will be joined by a swing one of these days.

6. It's been about two months since we cut ice cream out of our diets, which makes us pretty sad inside.

7. We finished putting down all of the pavers for our fire pit project. Now we just need bigger bricks to make the fire pit part. We hope the weather actually gets cold soon so that we can use it!

8. We noticed that we needed to change out about ten light bulbs that we had been putting off changing. We were very proud of ourselves because we bought energy efficient light bulbs, which use about 14 watts compared to 60 per light bulb.

9. I did a sad thing and cut off about five inches of my hair :( I hate hair cuts, I love my long hair, what was I thinking??

10. That's all we can think of.... our lives have been pretty boring of late!
