Whenever I think about my life, I think about teaching and school. I will not talk any more about that in this post. Rather, the adventures that we have been on.
Chris' sister, Kara was out to visit for 5-6 days. We went to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach on the Atlantic Ocean while she was here along with one of the girls who is also a teacher at my school. It was wonderful. She has not been feeling herself since she got Mono in January of last year...so, we spoiled ourselves. She envisions a vacation on the beach with a porch looking over the ocean. I am too cheap to think of that. I would stay a few miles from the beach, just so that it is cheaper. It was her vacation, after all. We all split a wonderful room and stayed looking out on the Atlantic Ocean. It was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. We walked around downtown Wilmington (which took one visit until Chris and I fell in love with it), swam in the ocean, sat in a hottub, and much more. It was relaxing, and we were spoiled. Swimming in the ocean brought back so many memories. Yes, it was October and the air was a bit crisp due to the wind. But the water? Wonderful. The hardest part was not getting into the water, rather getting out of it. We had a wonderful time.
I am sitting on my bedroom floor (due to the wireless internet not working anymore), listening to the occasional booms from Fort Braag. It is a weird thing to get used to. Loud booms, rooms shaking. But it is something that we adjusted to rather quickly. There are a few times it still takes me by surprise, to be honest.
As for this weekend, it has been great. I didn't have Math Academy yesterday, so I have been able to enjoy a weekend, probably more than I should have. Friday night, we went to Mis Casita, a fabulous Restaurante Mexicano, with Chris' coworkers, who go there almost every Friday and I am beginning to get sick of it. Then, one of his friends, Charlie, came over. We had a good time playing the Wii and relaxing. Yesterday, we had a pumpking carving party with some people from my school. We cooked out (yes, in October) and enjoyed the company of many of the people I work with. I got to play spoons (one of my favorite games), go to a pumpking patch (which is really pathetic compared to MI pumpkin patches, by the way), play my guitar with one of the boys on the drums, carve my level 4 pumpkin, and just hang out.
I love carving pumpkins. :)
Oh, and we got Paris a Halloween costume that she got to wear. I will try to get pictures up soon.
We have now had 3 times where people have come to visit (including when we moved down). I love visitors. It makes it easier to be so far away.
Life...let's see where you take us.

There's an extremely small chance I may be driving through some time this month. Very small. But if it happens, do you want to play?
It would either be the weekend before Thanksgiving or the weekend before that. I'll let you know when I know. :)
