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.

Writing on a Rainy Day
It's been a long time...I have no excuse except that of exhaustion. Things in the King household are going good. We are mostly working all the time and trying to fit in some fun in there as well.
We have celebrated our 1st anniversary! It was great! We went to a wonderful dinner on the water front! Then we took a long weekend away to the Keys!!! The Keys were prefect. We mainly just relaxed and looked at the beauty of the Keys. We also celebrated James's 25th birthday! I got him paddle board lessons and new board shirt! We had so much fun! We are now wanting to get surf/paddle boards!! At the end of summer, we took a road trip to Alabama! It was so nice to see family!! I had not seen my mom and dad since January, my sister since May, Nana and Pop since Easter, Chad/Tiff/and Kids since October, and the rest of the family since Christmas. I'm so glad we made the decision to go home. I miss my family so much and treasure the times that I'm with them.
James is busy at the shrimp farm. Next week he is getting to attend an Aquaculture Workshop at Harbor Branch. I'm excited for him, and I think he is looking forward to it too. He has definitely been staying busy! I know he is stressed a lot, but I'm so proud of the work he is doing. I know it is going to pay off for them!
The zoo job is going. It has been a great learning experience and a great financial blessing. We have been able to live comfortably. However, the job is taking a toll on me. The hours have gotten some what better, but still pulling at least 9 if not 10 hours plus commute. However, the hardest thing is not being able to attend church on a regular bases.
James and I both work on Sunday. At first I thought this wouldn't be that bad, but as weeks go by something is missing in my life. It's church! A church family! We do have an opportunity to attend the Sunday night service in downtown West Palm Beach. This has been a blessing. However, it is sometimes so hard to commit to go every week or even twice a month sometimes. See, the service starts at 7:00. I'm lucky to get off work by 5:30 if not closer to 6:00. That's not bad, I just have to go to Nancy and Harry's house to shower or at least clean up. James on the other hand, gets off at 5, has to go by the apartment to shower, then drive 45 minutes south to meet me, then we go and shove down a bowl of soup at Panara (it's right beside the church) and the walk in to church right on time!! We do all this after a long, hot day at work! Needless to say, it takes great discipline to go. It shouldn't be like that. I want to go, I long to worship and learn with my brothers and sisters. We would just like to have Sundays dedicated to worshiping our God, fellowship, and family time. I never knew how much I took that for granted. I know this is just a chapter of our life, but I hope that it is a short chapter!
We did make an exciting purchase last weekend!! We bought a grown up couch!!! For those of you who were lucky enough to sit on our wonderful college couch, you are probably very excited for us!! For those of you who have not been so lucky, our couch was falling apart. The springs were breaking like crazy. It was so uncomfortable and we could not relax after a long days work. So we had been saving (with the help of family!) and finally broke down and bought the one we have been eyeing since Christmas! It wasn't an issue of do we like it? It was more like, should we really spend money on something we don't need, but just want? We could use the money to pay bills, buy food, you get the picture... but we thought about it and decided that we were always complaining. So we needed to do something about it! God definitely was in the working process, because we got the couch we wanted for $250 less than the original asking price!!
Hopefully I can make a better effort to write more often. If I get really behind, please forgive me and then tell me to write something!! I love sharing our life with friends and family that we don't see on a daily bases. We love you all and miss you all so much!

Wow... Long time
Hello everyone! Sorry for the LONG delay with my post!! I have been having difficulties adjusting to the new schedule I am now on! I will try and catch you up a little on what has been going on this last month!
The new job is going good. I'm having a little trouble adjusting to the long hours and weird weekends. A typical day is: wake up at 5:10, leave the house by 6:00, arrive and clock-in to work by 7:00, on average leaving work at 6:30 (I've left as early as 5:45 (actually 30 minutes late) and stayed as late as 7:30 (more then once!), hours long drive home, arrive at home some time between 6:45 and 8, eat dinner, try to spend so time with James, but end up going to bed by 8 or 8:30! Needless to say I have long days!! Thankfully it is summer and the sun is coming up when I leave and is not setting till 8:00 or 8:30! I don't know what I would do if it was dark both times!!
Besides getting use to the long days, there is also the odd weekends. No one is off on Tuesday and Wednesdays!! Including my husband!!! There is a possibility that he might can get Monday/Tuesday weekends, but no sure yet. It would be great for us if he could! I would love a full day to spend with him! However, I know it will be difficult for him to give up Sundays and church. That's another thing I'm having to adjust to. I haven't been able to go to church yet :( WE have tried to go to the night service on Sunday in downtown, but haven't been able to yet, but hopefully that will change! We also have J1Ten (our young adults service/meeting) on Tuesday nights that we can go to. For me it is my church! Unfortunately we haven't been able to go consistently the last couple weeks. It's hard to want to drive another time to West Palm and sometimes we just want to spend some time together.
Yet another adjustment is the heat!! I've been in Florida for 5 years and I know the heat, but it is totally different being out in the heat 5 days a week, 10 hours a day!!! I've never sweated so much!!
We have had some excited news... We were able to buy a car!!! We traded in Roxy (my 95' 275,000 ml Honda passport) for a 2009 Honda fit!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! It is sooooo cute!!! Even though my sister thinks it looks like a space car! I have named this car Sliver Mist!! I love naming my cars! I know I'm a little crazy!
Yesterday was James' s Birthday! I surprised him with paddle boarding lessons for this morning! It was so cool!! We both loved it! I'm thinking we need to get some boards!! I really wish we had a weekend together so we could enjoyed things like this more often! I miss that so much. We enjoy embarking on new adventures like this! I'm so glad his boss let him take the morning off so we could enjoy that together!
I'm so thankful for my job. It has been such a blessing for me and James. We were able to get another car, and are just sitting more comfortable financially. I just hope we are able to work out the challenging details!
I realized today that a year ago today I officially moved over to Stuart! I can't believe how quick this year has been!! In a couple weeks James and I will be celebrating our One Year Anniversary!!!!!! I can't believe it!!! This has been one amazing year!! Love being married to my best friend!!!
Well I've caught you up on whats happening in the life of the Kings, mostly just work and spending the time we get together and treasuring those moments!! Oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing my sister on Sunday!!! She is coming for a few days!! I miss her so much and looking forward to spending some time with her!!

Riding a New Wave in Life
I know, its been a long time since I've blogged!!! I'm so sorry!!! I have been adjusting to a new schedule, which has been pretty hard! The job at the zoo is going good. It is a lot of hard work, but mentally and physically. It has been an adjustment going from a marine biology background to more of a terrestrial biology background. I'm very thankful for this job at this time in my life (and with the state of our economy). The job is just causing me to learn how to adjust to different things!!
I'm slowly learning all my different kinds of waterfowl! I have so many different kinds of ducks/geese that its not event funny!! I'm starting to be able to do things on my own, which is good and bad! Good that they trust me and think I'm ready, and not so good because of all the pressure that comes with all that responsibility!! One of the hardest things that I'm having to get use to is the long days and weird weekends. I'm up at 5:30, out the door by 6:30 and clocked in by 7:30. So far the earliest I've left is 5:45. I've been normally getting off by 6:15, this puts me home around 7 or a little after 7!! A LONG day to say the least!! The commute is ok, just long!! The weekend thing has also been hard to get use too. As most of you know, James's weekend is Sunday/Monday and mine is now Tuesday/Wednesday :( We no longer have a day to spend together :( It is a BIG adjustment, which I'm learning is probably harder for me then James. Or at least I'm showing it more than him! I try to remind myself that it could be worst. I could not have a job. And that I have friends that are spending a year apart because of their jobs. When I think about that it puts everything in perspective. Are friends in our life group encouraged us to set up a date night and stick to it, that way we can have quality time together! Love that idea and it will be in place this week!!!
Besides adjusting to a new schedule, things are going great! I thank God everyday for his provision in our life and for the job He has blessed me with! I will try and keep updating every week! Forgive me if I don't!

A New Wave To Ride
Most of you probably already know, but I wanted to share it anyway in case some of you had not heard yet. I WAS OFFERED THE JOB AT THE PALM BEACH ZOO, AND OF COURSE I ACCEPTED IT!!!! I'm so excited right now. I have not been able to stop thinking about it. We had our small group tonight, and I don't think I was all there because I kept thinking of the phone conversation that I had had just minutes before we met! It was so nice hearing the other side of the conversation of being offered the job, and not the your good, but not good enough speech! I'm definitely nervous. It will be a very challenging job, but I'm up for it. I plan to do major homework this weekend!! I need to brush up on my bird zoology and starting learning scientific names all over again! But it is totally worth it!!!! I HAVE A JOB!!!!
Thank you Lord for providing me with this opportunity. Thank you for all that you have taught me along this journey. There were times I doubt, wondering if I was ever going to get a break. But now I understand, God's timing is never our timing!! Thank you all for the prayers and encouragement along the way. It has helped more than you will ever know!
Oh, and James said I should mention that I have already failed on my making better choices for food (previous post). I had him stop for a hot fudge Sunday on the way home from small group tonight!! I will excuse it on the bases of celebrating the new job!! However, he said we will celebrate this weekend as well!!!

Sailing across the ocean...
So I've been reading this book the last couple weeks (my goal is to finish it by the weekend) about this couple that decided to sell everything when they got married, buy a boat, and sail around the Pacific Ocean. Ok, I know what some of you might be thinking, my mom, no we are not thinking about selling everything and buying a boat. Although I really would want to, we don't have enough stuff to even put a down payment on a boat! I do, however, have this dream and goal to learn how to sail a boat. The thought of living a simple life on a boat does speak to me, maybe one day I can see this come true. I'm jealous of one of my girl friends and her boyfriend back in Tampa. They are in the process of looking/buying a boat and planing to move to St. Thomas in the Fall. I told James we should just pack up and move with them! I don't have a job here, so maybe I can find one there!! And who knows, maybe they need shrimp farmers in St. Thomas too!! I know this is way off topic for me and what I usually write about, I've just been so into this book. It's all I think about. And it doesn't help every where I go down here I see sail boats!
This week has been pretty good. Camping was so much fun!! I do miss camping. Although, I do need to find out what keeps no see ums from biting you. I have little bits all over me!!! We also had pretty good food. I made Mexican rice for Friday night that we warmed up on the fire. So good!! Then on Saturday night we had hot/veggie dogs. The veggie dogs were not that bad. And if you ever need the find them in the grocery store they are in the produce section. I know, weird, but true! Both nights we had smores of course. And on Saturday night Jenn taught us how to make bananas stuffed with chocolate and marshmallows! So good! We ended the weekend with Tijuana Flats! I so miss going there with Jenn back in Tampa!
The rest of the week has been work. But yesterday night instead of going to our young adults group, we decided to have a nice night together. We went to the beach and read till sun down, then ended the night with a walk on the beach. It was a much need relaxing night for the both of us!
Ok, so I've decided that I'm way out of shape and that I have put on a few pounds. SO, I'm going to try and be more discipline to working out. James is also in this with me, but we have agreed that even if the other person can not work out, due to work schedules, the other person will still work out. We have not set a schedule yet, that is on my to do list for today. I did get up and run the bridge this morning. Ok it was more of a jog/walk, but I really don't like running so I have to work my way up! So hopefully we can stick to this! I really need so encouragement. I'm also going to try to incorporate some better eating habits, not a diet, just better choices! Hopefully that works, I'm a sucker for sweets just ask my family!
Well I should go and start on my to do list for today. Continue to pray for my job situation. I still have not heard from the zoo. I'll be starting to research more jobs. Pray God will show me where He wants me. Thanks everyone!

Catching up!
Wow, Ok so I'm really behind on blogging!! Well not much has happened over the last couple weeks, so you haven't missed out on much! Things are still going good for us, and I'm realizing how God is truly blessing us. I got up the nerve to call the zoo today to find out if they had filled the position. Thankfully they have not! So there is still hope! I just wish they would make a decision one way or another so I wouldn't have to keep waiting for an answer! The waiting game is getting harder and harder, not easier and easier! I spent most of the day today on the computer searching for more jobs that I could apply for. Not much luck with that. I did find a couple, just don't know how promising they are. We will see, I know something is out there, I just have to search and rely on God's timing. Which I'm learning by the way is very different then my timing!!
We have had a great couple of weekends! We had a great Easter weekend with my Nana and Pop. We loved showing them our new place and were we live now. We had an amazing church service!! God is amazing! Easter can be summed up in three words: Change, Power, and Hope. It was a great message brought to us by one of the Teaching Pastors of our church, John Maxwell. We had an amazing Easter Dinner with Nana and Pop and James's Parents as well! The food was so good and made me miss dinners back home! Only if my rest of my family there with us it would have been totally perfect! However, it was so nice having some of my family during the holiday and having them in church with us!
This pass weekend we got to go to our second home, TAMPA!!! We love it there!!! One day we might move back!! Joe and Christy are MARRIED! It was such a beautiful wedding! It was so nice to see all our friends that we had not seen in so long, some since before we got married! It was a nice surprise to see that Caroline and Evan were the photographers for the wedding! It was nice to catch up just for a little second with Caroline! Miss her so much!! We had a great time. We took a stroll around campus! So much is changing there and I've only been out for almost a year! Then to end our mini vacation we made a stop at Epcot!! We enjoyed the Flower and Garden stuff that they had. We probably sound like "oldies" but we did really love it. We were walking around pointing out flowers we hope to have in our garden someday! We also got to meet up with Jenn, Ashleigh, Logan, and Peter for fireworks!! It was such a nice surprise!
I'm totally looking forward to this weekend!! We are going camping!!! It has been way to long!!
Time is really fling by. I can't believe we are already in April. Lately I have been missing a lot of things. I miss my family so much. Now that I don't have school consuming all my time, and seeing other people with their family makes me miss mine even more. So jealous of my Mom and Dad right now, they are in Puerto Rico right now!! Miss my sister a lot too. I was talking with her the other day and realized how much she is growing up! I'm also missing my best girl friend, Brandi! I can't believe we have not seen each other since my wedding. We use to see each other everyday, how things change when you get out of college. But it's great to know when you have true friends. Ones that stay close to you know matter the miles between you! I'm so counting the days till June when Brandi comes to Florida for a month!!!!!!!!! Miss ya girl!
Well I have rambled enough now. I should go to bed. I will try and be better at blogging. I do think about it, I'll be honest, I'm just lazy sometimes!!

Only if my rest of my family there with us it would have been totally perfect! However, it was so nice having some of my family during the holiday and having them in church with us!
This pass weekend we got to go to our second home, TAMPA!!! We love it there!!! One day we might move back!! Joe and Christy are MARRIED! It was such a beautiful wedding! It was so nice to see all our friends that we had not seen in so long, some since before we got married! It was a nice surprise to see that Caroline and Evan were the photographers for the wedding! It was nice to catch up just for a little second with Caroline! Miss her so much!! We had a great time. We took a stroll around campus! So much is changing there and I've only been out for almost a year! Then to end our mini vacation we made a stop at Epcot!! We enjoyed the Flower and Garden stuff that they had. We probably sound like "oldies" but we did really love it. We were walking around pointing out flowers we hope to have in our garden someday! We also got to meet up with Jenn, Ashleigh, Logan, and Peter for fireworks!! It was such a nice surprise!
I'm totally looking forward to this weekend!! We are going camping!!! It has been way to long!!
Time is really fling by. I can't believe we are already in April. Lately I have been missing a lot of things. I miss my family so much. Now that I don't have school consuming all my time, and seeing other people with their family makes me miss mine even more. So jealous of my Mom and Dad right now, they are in Puerto Rico right now!! Miss my sister a lot too. I was talking with her the other day and realized how much she is growing up! I'm also missing my best girl friend, Brandi! I can't believe we have not seen each other since my wedding. We use to see each other everyday, how things change when you get out of college. But it's great to know when you have true friends. Ones that stay close to you know matter the miles between you! I'm so counting the days till June when Brandi comes to Florida for a month!!!!!!!!! Miss ya girl!
Well I have rambled enough now. I should go to bed. I will try and be better at blogging. I do think about it, I'll be honest, I'm just lazy sometimes!!
