fresh pair of eyes.
So, work is pretty slow today. There is actually barely anyone in the office. Hopefully we will be leaving around 4 30 today. Then I can go home, make something quick to eat and get ready for the next job!
I know my past few posts have been a little bit on the negative side. I'm not quite sure why. I am in some weird funk and I need to get out of it quick.
I really want to go up to our house in NY for 4th of july. I would like to do the whole camping thing, but I think it would be pretty cool to stay on OUR property (even though the other piece of land is kinda ours too). I absolutely love the cabin that my father built, and we could still ride 4 wheelers and do some camping. I mean, there are 79 acres. I'm sure we could find somewhere to pop the tent for a night. Heh. But, I feel like if we could just stay there for a long weekend I might be able to just relax and clear my head of some things. I really, REALLY need a vacation.

i have decided.
I am going to stick with blogspot. or blogger.com, whatever this one is called. I did create a blog on tumblr, and that website has better layouts and colors. However, I cannot "follow" other bloggers unless they are on tumblr. So, I would only be able to view Jeb's blog from that main page and on here i can just click the link on the side and whoosh! hehe. But, I think I got my page to look the way I want it to.
So, this morning I have had a serious weight lifted off of me. About that, I will just say that, at least they know now.
Today Jeb got new tires on his car, so Jake gave me a ride to work so Jeb could take my car to school. Well, when I got to work, my hair looked like a birds nest from riding with the top off the jeep. I think next time I plan to ride on the interstate in the jeep with no top, I will be more prepared and pull my hair back. Now my hair feels/looks gross. Meh. At least I have these for my snack :)
Flavor blasted too!

a real post?
Our trip to Parris Island was not as great as I expected.
We started off leaving on time Wednesday morning. For the most part the ride down there was okay. Before we knew it, we were about 20 miles outside of Beaufort! All of a sudden, a cop comes out of nowhere and flips his lights on and starts following us. SO, we pull over, and my parents pull over as well so we don't get separated from each other. Well, the cop first goes over to my mother and says she was going 40 in a 25, then comes to us and says we were going 43 in a 25. Sweet, so looks like we are getting a ticket. If mom had just driven off she probably would not have gotten pulled over because we think he only really saw us speeding. Anyways, moms ticket ended up being about 150, and ours was $189. SO LAME. SO. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were just super tense because we all were just ready to get Jake and take him home. FINALLY we get to leave Friday around noon. we are about 3 hours into our trip home, talking, laughing, listening to music, enjoying ourselves, when I notice that the car sounds really loud and thankfully we were getting off at an exit to fill up on gas. WELL as we pull off the back of the car starts vibrating some and I look out the window and see we have a flat tire!!!!! So, Jeb and my dad start to replace the tire and then it just starts pouring rain :( Lauren, Jeb, dad, Jake, and I are soaked. We also happened to notice that Jebs other rear tire is just about shot, so we now need 2 new rear tires.
So, even though we really didn't spend much money on this trip, it ended up being pretty expensive because of everything that happened!! But, it was worth it.

road trip!
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
My little brother is going to be a United States Marine. GO JAKE! I don't really know how to put into words how I am feeling. I guess you could say I am proud.
