Busy Bottoms

So today and yesterday were pretty busy days, if not externally then definitely internally. We went to the MinuteClinic at CVS and found out that I have an ear infection along with a cold, so I got some medication to clear that up. Thank God, my ear was hurting so badly. My cold has almost run its course, just a little sore throat and the sniffles to deal with. I haven't been sleeping well the last two nights so hopefully tonight I can get some good rest. Today Brandon and I started packing. We started with the closets just trying to get everything organized. Whenever I pack I find giftcards and money in birthday cards and today I found something again! I found a giftcard to BestBuy for $25 in my bed side table. For the life of me cannot remember where I got it...kinda strange, but in a good way! I think we did a good job for today. The apartment is starting to look a little less like homeand by tomorrow it will probably look just like a regular old apartment again. We are going to pack all of our dishes and such tomorrow so we have everything done by the time they come on Monday. We got the call today that they were coming between 9-9:30 am.  I am excited for the move, I think we have everything ready and I cannot wait to be back home again. Well that's all for tonight. Love.

Bath Time!


Feeling a little better tonight, just watched some tv with Brandon after sleeping almost all day. Now he is playing Cornhole on the Wii. It is a fun game where you toss bean bags into a target. We played it in reality at Filthy McNasty's Bar in Vero where we discovered it over Christmas break. Tomorrow we have to start packing. I hope I feel a lot better by then. Gonna go drink some Vitamin C and finally take a bath. I don't think it would be good for anyone in the household including the pups for me to go another day without one! Love.

First video...

Reality Television...

...can be so much fun to watch. Even when it is the cheesiest thing and looks so set up it is still fun to get into it. Our latest additions to our viewing line up are: 

13 Fear is Real 
Rock of Love Bus 
The Real World
Hell's Kitchen & 
American Idol

Wow, typing all of those out makes me feel really lame!

Today I woke up not feeling so well. Brandon has been nursing me back to health throughout the day, bringing me some ColdMD and Vitamin C drinks. My throat is a bit sore and I am super conjested but I hope to be over it in a day or two so we can start packing. It snowed almost all day today. I haven't been outside though to experience it since I figured it better just to stay inside and not shock my body with the single digit temperatures. I slept a lot today so I hope I will be able to sleep well tonight. Not much to report, just hung out with the hubs and my puppies and feel very blessed to have a roof over my head tonight. Brandon is starting to play his favorite Christmas gift again. He is absolutely in LOVE with the FIFA Soccer 2009 for the Wii. He plays it every day and is actually really good at it. It is cool because you can play other people from all over the world over the wireless connection...anyways I told a friend the other day "it feels like I am watching soccer all day for some reason..." lol. I tried to play him once, but I gave up really quickly. Soccer really isn't my thing, in real life or on the Wii. I am glad he got it though, it is a great game and definitely his favorite! On one last note, if anyone out there reading this hasn't seen Step Brothers the movie, go see it now! It is hilarious. Love.

Last Week in Kansas


Our Kansas adventure started in August of 2008 and now in Febuary we are heading back to Florida. Many things contributed to our coming and leaving, but Brandon and I feel that our home town in Florida is where we are supposed to be. We really realized the importance of family and friends when we moved so far away. God always lets us know what His will is for our lives and he definitely showed us that we belong back at home. This experience has taught us so many things about ourselves and us as a couple. We have been tested with so many challenges and supported each other through everything that has come our way. I am so happy to have someone in my life that I feel like I can turn to when everything else feels like it is falling away. I told him the other night that I was lucky in love...but it is so much more than that. God put us together for a very special reason and I feel like although our feet are not planted firmly anywhere and our pockets might not be very full, that time of blessing will come to us. Now we just need to be assured that God will provide for us, which he always does. Some things have to be sacrificed and I feel like in these last 7 months as a married woman I have learned so much about life and I love every moment of it. I decided to start blogging just to keep people updated on what is going on with the Carters. We will definitely be making some big changes soon and I am excited for what new adventure we will stumble upon. 

Next week on either Monday or Tuesday a moving truck will be coming to pick up all of our furniture and clothing and all of that to take it back to Florida. When we arrived, we didn't have any furniture and we really made this empty apartment our home. We enjoyed getting away from everything for a while and figuring out what we really wanted as a couple. Now we have lots of stuff and will have to wait for a couple months to find a new home. Right now we will be living with Brandon's parents at their house in Vero. His family has the most welcoming spirit and although we will not have our own place for a little while we will feel very at home staying with them. They really are some of the best people I have ever met. They are there for their family through everything and really have shown me a different kind of love than I have ever been around. So for the next week we will be packing and stowing away all of our winter clothes. It is supposed to snow tomorrow and it will be nice to see it snow one more time before we leave. Trying to eat yourself out of house and home is not as easy as you think. You should see our fridge, the food is slowly dwindling away, while some random ingredients remain. What we will make with the leftovers should be interesting! I cannot wait to be home and start the job hunt, although I know it will not be the easiest thing ever, I pray for favor while I am out looking for something fulfilling and something to help us out financially. 

For tonight, I will say peace out...Worst Week comes on in 30 minutes and we love watching that poor guy try and make it through. Love.
