Sorry for being away so long.  I really can&#8217;t claim to be so busy that I can&#8217;t post; I just kept putting it off.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the week I spent filling out lots of paperwork.  I applied for school.  I&#8217;m just waiting for all the correct papers to get to them for final review.  Assuming all the paperwork arrives, I should be getting my acceptance letter any day.  I&#8217;m already completely registered with the site and have my email set up.  This is all good signs as I see it.  \ud83d\ude42  I have also started the process to applying to substitute teach in some of the close school districts around me.  This is proving to be a lot of work.  I have to provide so many personal recommendations.  I think people are going to get tired of doing these for me.  I really hope that something gives soon because this being in limbo is not giving me peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend was a lot of fun.  Friday night Bryan and I went out for dinner which was nice.  Saturday I had a photoshoot with my friend&#8217;s 2 kids.  I have shot them once before, but thankfully this time they were much more willing.  \ud83d\ude42  I got several awesome shots, but I plan on editing them today or tomorrow so that I can see what I really have and get them back to her.  I am anxious to see how she likes them.  After they left Bryan and I had to do major cleaning to the house.  Late Friday night Bryan decided we were going to host UFC at our house.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a couple of pictures that I took (I&#8217;ll try to post more when I&#8217;m finished editing):<br \/><\/span><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU42F-KcqI\/AAAAAAAAATY\/pSP7sJCyXGE\/s1600-h\/IMG_4143.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU42F-KcqI\/AAAAAAAAATY\/pSP7sJCyXGE\/s400\/IMG_4143.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243659843109810850\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU5s_-IuhI\/AAAAAAAAATg\/f59C4fM_I1M\/s1600-h\/IMG_4188.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU5s_-IuhI\/AAAAAAAAATg\/f59C4fM_I1M\/s400\/IMG_4188.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243660786391890450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;\"><br \/>UFC was a lot of fun, and I thank everyone who came.  It was just the right amount of people.  Everyone brought food which is always nice.  Bryan made fajitas which were very good.  We set up a table for them buffet style.  There were some really good fights including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6aN-E4Sgm_0\">big one<\/a> (in case you need to see it again)! Elizabeth brought a very small kitten with her which quickly became the favorite of the party (according to the people anyway, our cats didn&#8217;t like her so much).  See picture below for proof:<br \/><\/span><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU7Zbp7UhI\/AAAAAAAAATo\/ewrhQWHtsXc\/s1600-h\/photo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_khDrAG4ZNjM\/SMU7Zbp7UhI\/AAAAAAAAATo\/ewrhQWHtsXc\/s400\/photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243662649249190418\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms;\">I&#8217;m still waiting for Amy to upload the pictures that she took.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday we didn&#8217;t really do much.  We were pretty lazy.  We watched <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0465234\/\">National Treasure 2:  Book of Secrets<\/a> which was pretty good.  That night we went to a free showing at <a href=\"http:\/\/coldtownetheater.com\/\">Coldtowne Theater<\/a> for some improv\/sketch comedy.  It was pretty good especially since it was FREE!  We even managed to snag a couple of 2 for 1 admission coupons for later usage.  \ud83d\ude42  If you&#8217;ve never been there, I highly suggest going sometime.  It&#8217;s a very small and intimate theater where they actually teach improv classes.  You never quite know what you&#8217;re going to get which is half the fun.  They are quite talented people.<\/p>\n<p>Well, today is Monday and the start of yet another week unemployed&#8230;sigh.  I have some errands to run so I should probably get into the shower.  Wow, its 10 already.  Time passes much quicker when you don&#8217;t have to work.  Hmmm&#8230;  I need to go pick up a baby shower gift which should be fun because I LOVE to shop.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, so I haven&#8217;t posted since Wednesday.
