Summer Trip Planning

   This summer, before I begin graduate school I want to take a trip somewhere that maybe not many people want to go to. I want to go to Florida to the Harry Potter amusement park. I know that it sounds dorky probably to you, but I have grown up reading these books, living in this world, and it would be amazing to go to a place that is all about Harry Potter.
   My brother's girlfriend and I are thinking about all meeting down there this summer, and going to the theme park for a few days. My brother, his girlfriend, my husband, and I all love Harry Potter probably too much! haha. But it would be a great way to get to see them again, and it would be a way for my husband and I to go down to Florida again and see the Harry Potter museum and rides and shops!!
   They have a special going right now that if you plan a trip for 4 nights you can stay at a hotel on the park for like $278! I think that is very affordable. The only problem is the flight, whether or not that will be affordable once we really start planning this trip. I also really hate to plan ahead, because there are so many things that can go wrong! But I am very excited, and want to get planning soon so that I can save up enough money to go! It would be an awesome trip! Devan and I plan on taking some trips like these before we have kids, so that once we do have kids we don't feel like we can't do anything.
   Well, I am excited and ready to go now! haha But, it'll have to wait for the summer!

Remembering 9/11....

I just wanted to say thank you to all those people out there who serve our country, and protect us day and night. 9 years ago, I was sitting in my 7th grade study hall, when we heard people running through the halls, thats when my teacher went out to investigate and he found out what was going on. He came back into the classroom and turned on our tv. What we saw was horrifying, surreal, and very very sad. I saw the second world trade center tower fall, and I saw people jumping out of the building, and I saw debris crashing to the ground in NYC. As a 7th grader, I was in shock, to me the U.S. was impenetrable. I really never thought that something like that could happen to my country. I was shocked, appalled, and confused. I realize now how naive I was, and how my judgement and view on life was forever changed that day. I really have no idea whether it was the planes that knocked the to...

How Rude!

As of recently, I was hired and took a Customer Service Associate position at Lowe's. Which at first, I thought was just really a glorified cashier. As it turns out, we do a lot more than just ring customers out with their purchases. As a customer service associate, we ring customers out, we handle customer complaints, requests, problems, inquiries, we handle the phones, we find, print, and call about customer's order that were special ordered, or an internet order, or just ordered. We do a lot, and sometimes it gets very busy and crazy. What I really want to write about concerning my job was how to me it seems that people have just lost their ability to be pleasant, nice, and gracious to the people they are buying products from. I had so many customers be rude to me today, that it got me wondering, (and using Full House phrases), "Why are we so rude?" I know that I don't have a very important job, but I am still a person that should be treated with respect wh...

Book # 38 Water for Elephants

Thanks to a co-worker who lent me the book, and friends and family that told me how amazing this book was, I finally read, Water for Elephants , by Sara Gruen. I have been hearing rave reviews from friends, family, coworkers, online sites, and other blogs about this book, and I have to say that I agree whole-heartedly. This is a wonderful book about love, life, the circus, and how connected people can become with each other and animals in such a short time. It's a stunning tale of the carnival and circus people of a time long ago, and how their lives revolved around the circus, the performers, the workmen, the animals, and the crowds. I loved all the characters in this book, and it was really interesting going from the past to the present with the main character. The love between Marlena and Jacob is so wonderful, and pure that it's a great part of this book. I also love how involved and invested Jacob becomes with the animals and some people in the circus. It's a tale of...
