The free internet from Bowling Green popped back up yesterday, so I should be able to update my blog on a more regular basis!
B and I got home from our trip to Claire's on Sunday night around 11. Really, we got back around 6:45, but we stopped to pick up Claws from the Rexroats house, and that took longer than expected. We played with the puppy, played baseball, caught lightning bugs and rolled down the hill. Really, I think we were just glad to be out of the car. It was a exciting weekend! We found a kitten on Wednesday, I went to the gym with Claire, B played golf and photoshopped, Claire and I regular shopped, and I unofficially broke my toe on the bathroom door. I also bought a pair of these. Solid $10 investment. They're very comforting on a broken pinky toe.
Anyway, the trip was fun. I think that counts as Brian and my first road trip together, and it was a long one. We'll be driving to Gatlinburg on the 9th, so that will feel super short compared to Fuquay-Varina! Pictures from our weekend at the Morrow B&B can be found here =)

My sports marketing class has ended, I was two points away from an A. C'est la vie.
I'm halfway through with my geography class, and I'll probably kill some of the quizzes this week since I have internet and Wednesday night off! I'm not sure what else is going on that's exciting. I survived babysitting those four kids, and she has since asked me to come back once they get home for vacation. I also got to watch 9-month-old Brody, who gets upset and can be calmed by going swimming. best. babysitting job. EVER.
After a long weekend of spending money like it was my job, I returned home to turn on one air conditioner, buy a "cats rule" sign at tj maxx, and a filter for the turtle aquarium. Little ole Bowling Green doesn't compare to Fuquay/Varina/Cary/Holly Springs/Lillington/where ever else we went with Claire.
I'm picking up extra hours at the office to make up for it, though. Also I want to buy an iPad. And a new lens for our August and October weddings. I have such pricey hobbies.
I think that's about it for now. I'll soon be changing my picture to the one of me and North Face's "Cat's Meow" sleeping bag. If I ever go camping, that's the bag for me. Or, ya know....the one I already own that's not $200.
Either way, that's all for meow.

It's June?
Somebody forgot to inform Mother Nature what June is supposed to feel like, and kindly remind her that this is not August, and I'm a bit too poor to afford cooling my apartment in THIS kind of heat all summer long.
Ok, maybe actually I can, but I'm not gonna like it.
Not that I'm a professional server yet, but in both weeks I've worked at Montana Grille, I've had one night off a week. During the week it's usually slow and I get to come home way before we close. Some nights I make $14, some nights I make $84, it just depends. But I'm getting the hang of things there! Most of the people are really fun, and I enjoy wearing mens long sleeve dress shirts. I might take up cross-dressing as my new hobby.
Just kidding. I don't have time for any new hobbies! I'm 75% done with my marketing class, and my geography class starts Monday. I can work as far ahead in geography as I want, so hopefully the one-week overlap won't kill me.
I think it's safe to say that I'll be glad when my classes are over. Working 7:30-3 is tiring as is, (especially when people think they can apply on a Wednesday and start classes on Monday, realize it's not possible, and then yell at me. Such a pleasant week I'm having.)but add serving from 5-10 on top of that and I am TOAST at the end of the night. But then I have to study. And usually forgot to eat supper. All the fun summer shorts I bought from Old Navy are all now too big. Which is good, I guess, but also sad because that's what I have to wear to work. Their long shorts are the bomb.
Anyway.
Brian and I kept the Rexroat kids last weekend (May 20-23. Suzy 6, Gavin 3, Katie 2) and have since decided that we're never having children. No big deal.
I spent Memorial Day fishing with Phil Kimbel, and elder from Greenwood Park, cleaning said fish, and then swimming and eating with his son's family. One of Kelly's friends was there and had just gotten back from Africa, and she was with the group that one of our WKU tour guides is on! Crazy stuff.
Quick relationship chart.
David=Phil's son. Kelly=David's wife. Tiffany=Kelly's best friend.
Since our Memorial Day fiasco, I have been asked to babysit Tiffany's kids. Did I mention there are four of them? Ending in almost two-year-old twin boys? I'm really never having children.
Other than that, I'm having my first real life experience paying for groceries and bills. Since I'm still taking class, Momma and Daddy agreed to pay rent, but that's where it ends. Thus the reason I'm trying to avoid the a/c as much as possible. Claws hates me, I'm sure.
Oh, also I got an HTC freestyle. I less than love it. But, it was $20 bucks, and it works. So that's where I'm leaving it.
I think that's all that is new in the Bowling Green area. I'm very much looking forward to the weekend, even after a short week.

Oh, just forgot. We're meeting with a girl today about shooting her wedding next May! Super pumped! And we have a possible October wedding as well.
