Weekend in Utah

Went to Utah for the weekend...had an awesome time visiting family and playing kickball, even though my feet still hurt! I don't remember the trampoline and kickball making me this sore...guess I really AM getting oldER...or maybe we just need to get a trampoline here so I don't get so out of shape...lol! Oh well, it was worth it! Hope you all had as much fun as I did!

Pictures from our Disneyworld/Florida trip...

Give me back that filet-o-fish!

My first REAL Disneyworld experience... was awesome! I had only been once before when I was 2 or 3 and don't really remember any of it. McCall and Abby had no idea we were going to be there until a few hours before we got there so it was fun surprising them. We all had a blast singing the filet-o-fish song and getting soaked on splash mountain. For those of you that have read Kingdom Keepers (i haven't read it but I've heard all about it)... we met Wayne! He signed Marissa's autograph book and we got our picture taken with him! We didn't want to leave at all... saying goodbye is always so hard. After WDW we drove to Fort Myers to spend a couple days with my Dad and Stepmom, and got REALLY sunburnt at Fort Myers Beach. If you have facebook the pics we took are on my profile, if you don't, I'll work on getting a slideshow of sorts on here with some select good pictures. G'night!

Changes

Well I got the call today, we're moving to California! I applied for a field adjuster position in Palm Springs and we're going, in 2-4 weeks!! AAAH! SO much to do! This will be good though...better opportunities, closer to Disneyland... what could be better? Oh yeah, company car and not having to pay for gas, insurance, or maintenance! My head is spinning right now, trying to think of everything we have to get done to move. Anybody need a microwave? We have three..

hmmm

Ohhh yeah, I have a blog...heh, I keep forgetting about this, usually spend most of my time on the computer on facebook taking care of my pet (and other peoples' pets). So I convinced Marissa to go audition with me for American Idol next time it comes around... Not really planning on making it but at least we won't be wondering what could have happened. I have no idea what I would sing though... any suggestions? Well I can't think of anything else to say, maybe I'll think of something tomorrow...

So we were weeding the back yard...

aaaaandddd we ran into this..another from the back

one from the front and a nickel taped to a spoon to show the size of it..

It's a banded garden spider or a.k.a. banded orb-weaving spider. We decided to leave it alone for now (Marissa was actually getting pretty close to it!). We also saw a couple crab spiders, and about 10-12 not-quite-fully-grown wolf spiders. Oh, and I swatted a hornet with my rake. Well we have about a week before we have to be out of here and we still have a LOT to do, so I'm going to make myself somewhat useful and try to clean something. We'll take pics of our new place when we get the keys!

DISNEYLAND!

We leave tomorrow for Anaheim then we'll be in Disneyland on Thursday!..and Friday and probably Saturday :D
