Wow, I have forgotten what it is like to study. The past two Wednesdays have been full of studying along with some studying in the evenings after work. You may be wondering what I'm studying for. Well the first is a Keeper II test that I have been putting off for a half year now. Not sure why I have, but I have decided to take the test. The upside is a small, very small pay increase and the fact I get to add the promotion to my resume. The other big thing I have been studying for is the GRE. Yep, we have decide that I should apply for grad school for next fall. A lot of though has gone into this decision, and we are very excited for what is to come in the next year or so. James will still be considering grad school, however, right now he is wanting to focus on his job and see what opportunities come about. He is looking into taking a class or two at the community college dealing with electricity and other classes that will benefit him at work! For me, I have realized to get the job I would like, I need more schooling. So it's off to grad school for me! I'm excited, but also very nervous to take the GRE and enter grad school. James has been very supportive and very encouraging during this decision making, so I'm sure things will be fine :/ :)
We enjoyed a nice few days with Jared and Brandi. It was so nice to just chill with them. We picked up like we hadn't spent the last 3 to 4 years living miles away from each other. We are so blessed to have them in our lives!
I'm looking forward to going to Tampa next week to spend some time with Amber and Ben!! Should be a great weekend!! And I think James is looking forward to buying a video game that comes out on Tuesday and playing it the whole time I'm gone!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather! We are enjoying only being in the mid 80s with a breeze!!

Loving Life
Wow, time seems to be flying by. It seems like only a few days ago we moved into the townhouse. We have been in here two months and have already had a couple visitors and more on the way!! We had a wonderful visit with Mom and Dad over Labor Day weekend! We enjoyed a great day at the beach, shopping for a grill, cooking out on the new grill, and Dad and James enjoyed fishing a couple nights even though they didn't catch much! It was such a great weekend just catching up and having family time! Only thing missing was Stephanie! We missed her, but looking forward to seeing her along with Nana/Pop, Uncle Chad/Tiffany/Austin/Aubrey, Kevin, and of course Mom and Dad in Orlando in December!! It will be such a great week filled with Family!
We also got to spend a few hours with the Webbs! It was a great time watching the guys play the kinect and loving on Ben! I'm looking forward to going to Tampa in two weeks to see Amber and Ben and have some much needed girl time!
We are also looking forward to spending some time with the Beltons this weekend!! We haven't seen Jared since our wedding and Brandi since the beginning of the year! So looking forward to some catching up time with them! God has blessed us with some really great friendships, and Brandi and Jared are one of them. It is great to have friends that you can go forever without seeing and still be able to pick up like you seen each other yesterday! Love it!!
I love fall! Football, the smells of spices, and the wishful thinking that it may cool off soon!! lol! James and I decorated the house for Halloween! We have enjoyed picking up pieces over the last couple years to get our house in the spirit of Halloween! James would love to make it a little more "scary", and I prefer "cute" Halloween decor. So, I think we have compromised pretty good! We are looking forward to planning a Halloween party with some good friends Cari and Victor!! Should be lots of fun, stay tune to hear how that goes!
It wouldn't be fall without FOOTBALL!! More importantly ALABAMA FOOTBALL!! The roughest part about working Saturdays is not catching the games, or not the entire game if they play earlier in the day. Luckily, this weekend they play a night game against Florida!!! Can't wait to go to the sports bar in my Alabama gear!!! Hopefully we play good and win, or I may be leaving early! lol!!!
That's the update on the King household! We miss all yall that live away from us!! Enjoy the Fall Season! And we will dream that we are somewhere that actually gets to experience the true Fall season!

Our New Home
Hey Everyone!
We are now all settled into our new Home! We love it. I realized the other day when I posted pictures of the new place on facebook that I labled it "Our New Home". Lots of people thought that we bought a new home. We are only leasing right now. We still call it Home. It is were we live and were our hearts are no matter how we are paying for it. So just if you are reading this, we did not buy a house we are only leasing, but its still Our Home!
We both feel so comfortable here and love coming home. We love having all the extra storage, and the little space to grow into! We have almost everything in its place, just a little left in the garage and second bedroom to put away! And possible some more painting in the bathrooms if I can talk James into it :)
We are looking forward to my parents coming down for a visit over Labor Day Weekend! Can't wait to show them the new place!! And spend some much needed time with them! Hopefully some of the rest of the family (sis and Nana and Pop) will be able to make a trip down soon too! If not looking forward to seeing them in December in Orlando!! We love having family and friends down to visit, so come on down!!
Thats the update in the King House! Now I need to get back to the banana pie and taco soup I'm making for dinner :)

A Bitter-sweet Move for us
Wow, I can't believe I have not posted on here in so long. What can I say, life happen and I just forgot about writing. I have read so many friends blogging lately, that it has inspired me to beginning writing on here more. It's such a great time to update everyone on our life.
Next Wednesday, James and I get our keys to the town home we will be renting! We are very excited to make this move. It is a bitter-sweet move. Packing up the apartment that was the first place that James and I called home together has came with mixed emotions. I remember moving over here a little over two years ago right before we got married. It was so exciting. We have had so many great memories in this apartment. However, we are ready for the exciting change. The town home will feel more like a "home". We will have washer and dryer!! (I've not had one since I've moved away from home (6 years)) We are also getting some cool bonus; a garage, lots of storage, and plenty of living space! Once we have moved in I'll post pictures!
We celebrated our 2nd anniversary last month. I still can't believe we have been married 2 years! It has been so much fun! We have been able to take a few more trips over the last year and hope to take many more. We have been able to go home twice (quick but very great trips!) Family have came down to Florida (always a plus!). We went camping in the smokies!! And we were able to go out to Texas for Amber and Micah's first baby!! We look forward to additional travels in the future :)
Our jobs are the same. James is still at the farm. He is liking it and hopefully things will continue to go great for him there. I'm still at the zoo for now. The job is killing me and I'm ready to get something that I enjoy doing. And one with better hours. I've very thankfully for my job, but I do need a change. I want a job where I wake up in the morning and actually want to go to work, not one that makes me sick all the time from stress. So hopefully after the move, I will be able to focus on finding a better suited job for myself.
Hopefully that catches everyone up a little! Sorry about the absence in writing. I will try to do better.
