Two Weeks Left...

I thought since we have two weeks left in Charlottesville I'd share the things that we are leaving behind (in no particular order).

Two weeks left of...

1. having a forest as our back yard.

2. friends that we've made here.

3. Raising Cane's chicken fingers and dipping sauce. I think the closest one from us will be in Vegas which I wouldn't be opposed to driving 9-10 hours for a fix.

4. rent that is somewhat reasonable.

5. no closet space (that one is for Travis because I'm pretty much taking up all the closet space that we do have).

6. not having our own washer and dryer.

7. our upstairs neighbors throwing bread on our balcony so we constantly have squirrels on it.

8. not having to pay for utilities/cable/Internet. I have loved that by the way! Thank you student housing. I'm sure our A/C bills are atrocious even during the winter.

9. furniture that's not ours and is so bulky and heavy that it could quite possibly withstand the drop from our balcony (which I have thought about doing if I could lift them over the railing).

10. a full size bed. Queen baby here we come!

11. work-for me.

12. cleaning the dishes by hand (no dishwasher for 3 years! I don't know how we have lasted this long).

Free Stuff!!

And when I say free stuff, I mean FREE STUFF!! July 11th is starting to become one of my favorite days of the year. Tomorrow, you not only get free Slurpee's from 7-11 for their birthday, but you can also get a free chicken sandwich at Chik-fil-A for 'cow appreciation day' IF you dress up like a cow (click link for ideas). I can't wait! I've already got Travis and my outfit ready! I'm afraid my camera is still in Cali so you probably won't be seeing us dressed up as cows, but I'm sure you can use your imaginations. Enjoy!

Through the Wire

This post is a tribute to my younger brother Kris. He just went through jaw surgery to correct his jaw. He's sent me pictures of his swollen and bruised face. I thought about posting them, but I figured I wouldn't want pictures of myself in that condition floating around the Internet so I decided not to. Instead I thought I would post this music video of Kanye West. A few years ago Kanye West was in a serious car accident and fractured his jaw. He had to have his jaw wired shut and he recorded this song, Through the Wire, while it was still wired. If you listen closely you can tell. This one's for you Kris! Feel better soon!
