Small Trip

Took a trip down to visit with Ashley's family this week, since when I start my new job it will be harder to make it down there.

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

Got to ride around in the back of the car with Layla. She was cute as always.

Ashley cut and dyed Teresa's hair.

On our last day there we went to a coffee shop and ate breakfast. It was a neat little greasy spoon kinda place. In the back they had a claw machine and a Street Fighter 2 arcade cabinet. It was awesome. I played Ashley and kicked her butt, then made it to Guile before he kept hitting me with sonic booms from across the screen.

The funniest thing about the claw machine that was there, was that all the stuffed animals in it were preowned. Some had stains and there was a pound puppy that already had BREE written on the tag.

Anyway thats all for now.

Trip to K-town

Ok so not a trip to Korea-Town but a trip to Knoxville Tennessee. We went to watch Modest Mouse at the Valarium.

We left early and went by a mall. Ashley bought a new cardigan and saved 40% cause she used a coupon that she got off her phone. I thought that was neat, technology is great (and also kinda scary).

Anyway in the mall while walking around we found a cotton candy machine!!! I was like "weird", but I know Ashley has a sweet tooth the size of Texas so I put two dollars in. After a moment of whirring and vibrating, instant cotton candy. It was colorless but tasted like cotton candy.

Ashley discovering the cotton candy machine.

Watching it being made.

The final goods.

Now on to the show......I'm sorry to say I was less than impressed with the live performance of Modest Mouse. Don't get me wrong I like the band and a handful of their albums. There was just something lacking and I really couldn't hear anything it was just like a huge wall of sound. Maybe I'm just getting old...

New Job!!!!!!

Had a job interview today at my old school. It went way better than I ever thought it would. Needless to say I left the interview with a new job. I will be a teachers assistant in a fifth grade classroom working with special education students.

While I really am excited about the job and all the new things. I feel bad for leaving Ashley at the casino, I feel like I am abandoning her there. Hopefully we can find her a job in her field.

Ahhh....good day now I'm gonna kick back and enjoy a few cold ones before going to work tonight ;)

and twenty minutes later.....

so after i got my new phone ashley played around with it and sheliked it so i decided to get her one. ordered it from amazon on sat and it showed up yesterday. now i guess i know how it feels to be on the other side of the phone : )

Sometimes The Boys Who Should Be Your Best Friends

Become Strangers With Familiar Faces

i used to live in a big house with a bunch of my friends. when i say a bunch i mean like six. it was a very big house.

now i have my own house (sorta) and i live with my girlfriend. i like my space and privacy, but there are times that i miss being able to walk out my door and someone be awake doing something.

i guess i am writing this post because this past weekend (4th of july) one of my good friends came home for the weekend and i didn't even make it down to see him. was i working? yes. was i tired? yes. could i have made time? yes. did i? no.

i don't know what happened between then and now. i'm not even sure if anything changed. well i do know what changed: families, moving away, disagreements, new ventures.

heres to the guys.

Work

So this is where i work. I can't name it or say disparaging things about it according to our new company policy.

However i can say that i feel that i lose a little piece of my soul everyday i go to work.

Just thought i'd share a little piece of my workday.
