Good Morning Tuesday! Time has just been flying by lately, and for the last few days I just haven't been feeling that great... not sick wise, just poopy. I have been really kind of emotional and grumpy lately, and every morning I kind of just want to sleep the day away. However, I woke up today and I was in the best mood, I couldn't wait to start the day! Hopefully this is a permanent feeling, and I don't back to being poopy again tomorrow. 

Today will be a busy day. The girls have the rest of their weekly homework to finsih up, and I need to get it all graded and ready to head out with them tomorrow (their meetings are Wednesdays at 2pm.) I have lots of geography and art homework to get done today :] A few chores to get done, and hopefully still have a little bit of time to spend with my mom (today's her day off.)

Tomorrow is my first day of work! I am super excited! I don't remember if I posted in my last blog or not, but I got a part-time nanny job. I will be watching two little boys, Kael and Kash (yes, like Kale, just spelled differently.) They are 3 1/2 and 14 months. I will be watching them Wednesdays and Fridays 9-5, and ocassionally there will be some extra days which will be nice. I am excited to finally have some sort of an income, which is a great help since we are moving out in just a few weeks! 

I hope everyone is having a marvelous Tuesday! :]

Love,

Lex

my beautiful<3

She's all done :] I went over Friday night for my last session, and she is finally completely finished! I am absolutely in love with her. Tony Ellis did a fantastic job! I love all of the colors and the art soooo much. Its gorgeous. Anyways, I hope everyone else finds it as great as I do (doubt it! haha) 

We also have some other great news. Bryan and I are in the process of moving out of my parents house. We have just decided that its time to spread our wings and get our own place. Everyone is being extremely supportive and are very happy for us. They know we are responsible and will do well for ourselves. I will continue to go to school full-time, homeschool the girls 4 days out of the week and I am also starting a nanny/babysitting job this Thursday (it will be 4 days of the week, wed and thur 12-630, fri 7-7 and saturday 7-530) Bryan and I went apartment shopping yesterday and found the perfect place. They are called the Amberwood Villa's and they are located in the nice part of Hemet. We are getting a one bedroom one bath. They are so gorgeous and updated inside, which I like a lot! We are taking Boston (and possibly Dallas because we don't want Boston to be alone and sad.) We are very excited to do this, and hopefully everyone can come see the place one day!! :]

We are going to pick up our couches on Monday evening. I found them on Craigslist, so hopefully they are in OK condition, if they are not in the greatest condition then I will either buy couch covers or just not get them, haha! We are so excited to start buying furniture and decorations!! :]

Well, hopefully everyone is having a great weekend! 

Love,

Lex & Bryan

Geography 101

Today is the start of my Fast Paced (8 week) Geography Class :] I am very excited to be in this class, but also worried. I am already in 3 very difficult classes at the moment, and with this being a FAST PACED class everything is done very quickly and in bulk. Luckily I work well under stress! Hahahah. 

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I have decided not to take any classes this summer, I feel I need a break from school, and I think it will be fun for the girls and I to have the summer off together and do lots of fun activities together :] 

Girls day @ Seaworld :]

Thursday, March 19th, my mom had a day off - so we decided to head down to San Diego and have a girls day at Seaworld! This was my first time going to SeaWorld since I was about 6 years old. We had such a blast seeing all of the shows and learning about all of the different animals of the ocean. We saw the Shamu Believe show which was cool, but a bit hard to watch since we sat FRONT ROW of the Soak Zone - we were SOAKING WET, especially my mom! HAHA. We saw the dolphin show, the Pet Show (soo cool, lots of trained animals doing crazy stuff), we went and pet the sting rays (so weird feeling and slimy), we met DJ the Clydesdale and learned about him, we went through the shark and penguin encounter and we rode the Arctic Helicopter Flight (kinda like Soarin' over California). It was such a great day spent with my mom and sisters, I can't wait to go back! :]

English 106: Analyzing Literature

For the next two weeks in my English class, we are going to be reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I started reading it on Tuesday and am on page 83 so far. Since it is "analyzing literature" my professor likes to choose very interesting and odd stories for the class to read. For the first 6 weeks we were mainly focusing on short stories, we have just now gotten into the novels. 

So far, The Road is very intriguing. McCarthy refers to his characters simply as "he" "the boy" and "the father," he does this to make you feel as if you ARE the character, instead of just relating to a character (that has a proper name) in a story. He also does not tell you any past background on the characters, and does not inform you on what is going in the story, he leaves it up to the readers imagination. The Road is about a father and young son who are on a journey, according to the simple details that McCarthy gives us, the world is coming to an end, there are "bad guys" that the father and son must stay away from, scarce food, water and shelter, and the two are constantly seeing "corpses" everywhere they go - anyways, its about the struggle that the father and son go through, and trying to keep there determination and hope through everything. It is really a very good and interesting book. I will let everyone know if its "recomendable" once I finish it. 

P.S - My Political Science teacher is no longer a jerk. I have killed him with kindness. Instead of receiving emails saying "try a little harder. not enough posts throughout the week." I am not receiving emails such as "great posting for the week alexa! keep up the great work and participation!" YAY!!!!! 

Cribz

Welcome to this week's episode of Crib'z. This week on Crib'z we have Miss. Chanels pad.

We had the "Chanel Emblem" made into a sticker to put onto her cage. Don't you love it? She has a wheel/exercise room (that she never runs on), two stories (bottom floor is her bedroom, top story is her kitchen) and of course her water dispenser! :] However, she is getting a bit big for this "starter" cage. I'm thinking in a month or so we may need to upgrade to something a bit larger. We'll see :]

Parker Marie Knight

I believe when The Butlers were visiting in 2008 everyone met my friend Sarah. Well, if you didn't, she was pregnant :] HAHA. Well, this would be Miss. Parker Marie. She is almost 6 months now, WOW, how the time flys! She was born in October (im horrible, I don't remember the exact date) but she is such a sweet heart and we love her soooo much. Sarah sent this picture to us a few weeks ago after she got Parker's ears pierced. Cute, huh? :]
