The DMV

just got back from the driver's license bureau. it feels so so good to be a florida resident again! i got a new picture that was strangely fuzzy, and poor matt, all he got was an 8x11 piece of paper that is his 'temporary' license until his real one comes in a month from the capital. i guess down here in brevard county they don't trust canadians!

we've had this pending for months now, but once you start, you have to switch everything, so we've been putting it off...we're switching car insurance, car registration, title, and tags tomorrow, then health insurance. like i said, it starts to get overwhelming, but since we've lived here since october, it's time...

petsitting again

we're at tony and rachel's again, and sad to say jack has already taken a bite out of my leg. it would seem that he doesn't like his tail stepped on...of course i burst into tears from the shock.

matt's making perogies right now. we just finished a corporate finance exam that took me at least 10 hours. whew. i'm so glad that's over! yesterday i got a huge box of hot tamales and started snacking on them during my test. i started feeling a little sick in my stomach and realized i had eaten over half the box without even realizing it! gross.

matt's dad is coming tomorrow, so we're hitting the golf course. i should be an interesting combo - i'm not sure my game is up to par. haha.

i'm tired out, will write more later.

weddings, wild waters, and what a weekend!

we've been in ocala for the weekend. pulled in saturday afternoon in time for heather's wedding. it was really beautiful. the perfect early summer evening...my favorite part was the 'wedding walk' - a candle and lantern-lit walkway through the rose garden, around the pool and into the tent. after the wedding, sumanth and emily came over to play 'apples to apples'. oh i love that game!

mark gave matt and i an early 2nd anniversary gift - a day at wild waters - ocala's very own water park! there is something so fun about running around barefoot in your bathing suit from ride to ride. i forgot that i was 24...we went down the 'silver bullet' a 220 foot slide straight down. i was going so fast that when i hit the pool my top came up to my armpits. thankfully the water was swirling so much i had time to fix it.

today it's back to school and work, but nice to be in ocala - sometimes a change of pace is just what you need.

friday nights aren't what they used to be...

i realized this at 11.45 last night when matt and i were still working on a paper due today. school is definitely not what it used to be either...since when do we have a major paper due on the first week?! aren't we supposed to go around the class and share about our summer's first? we made the most of the night though - went to our little workout room at the clubhouse at 9 for a break, then went for a night swim - it was the most beautiful night, so beautiful in fact that i wanted to sleep in the pool. of course the morning would be rough, waking up all wrinkly with the sun baking us. so we slept in our dry, air conditioned apartment instead.

i love being out of college for a lot of reasons, but i realized last night that i don't miss the pressure to do something awesome on friday night. i don't know how friday got set aside as 'do something cool at night, or you're pathetic' night. why not tuesday? there were too many friday nights that i'd find myself at dinner at 7.50 and realize 'something cool' was not in the cards for that night! it's nice that in real life, friday is a night just like saturday and monday.

so when i say 'friday nights aren't what they used to be', i'm just kidding. they are a lot like they used to be, but now i have the perspective to enjoy them for what they are....
