Its a Jeep thing......

Well it is official the Mountaineer is heading to get smashed because we took advantage of the cash for clunkers deal and got a new 2009 Jeep Patriot Limited. It is silver with black interior. We are very excited and got a great deal thanks to Kym's Dad and Scott's "classic" i.e. "Clunker". Here is a picture and there will be more to come when the rain stops and we can get good shots of the Jeep off-roading.

Disney!!!

Hi everyone!

This weekend was quite the adventure....car shopping and Disney!!!!

We will start with car shopping. Scott has recently renamed Cash for Clunkers to Cash for Classics because he is sad :( to see the Mountaineer go! Kym on the other hand is saying thanks for the free money!!!! We went looking on Friday and have made a final decision on a ..... Jeep Patriot. Now it is just finding the right one (which may be harder than we think). Let's all keep our fingers crossed that we will be blogging tomorrow about a brand NEW Patriot.



Now for the fun stuff...DISNEY!!!!! We started the day off by purchasing Annual Passes for Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. We are ready for ALL visitors now :)



We both had a great time hanging out with Mickey and his friends at the Magic Kingdom. We got to the park before it opened and left when it closed (Kym was really excited to get there). We are also proud to say we were the FIRST people on the Haunted Mansion ride :)

Our favorite rides were: Splash Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

Scott was quite disappointed there were NO Robin Hood rides or souvenirs. Kym was surprised that the character's do not just walk around the park anymore...they have designated autograph stations. Which means we did NOT see Mickey besides in the show and parade :(

Of course we had a wonderful time at the Lights Parade and the fireworks, which were one of the best shows we have seen.

Until next time...

Cheers
Scott and Kym

Cockroaches ....

Oh cockroaches how I do not like thy. For some reason we have seen WAY more of them lately. We got home from soccer last night (whole other story) and saw at least 3 of them. They just come out of know where. They really don't bug me and I just kill them (or tell Scott to kill them)...it is more that they jump out at you.

So, we were trying to figure out why all of a sudden we are seeing more of them....well come to find out I left the sugar out from my morning coffee and there were some dishes in the sink (which we normally do right away to prevent this). AND they haven't sprayed for bugs lately. Needless to say they will be spraying in the next few days and I don't think I will be using sugar anymore!

The pool...
The pool that is 10 feet from the apt has been closed for the past week. We were thinking since a lot of people have been moving out of the complex they closed it for good because of finances OR a kid pooped in it again (no that kid wasn't me)! So I called to see what was going on because as Scott says "we are paying for 2 pools." They said it will be open soon...they just don't know when. There is another pool in the front of the complex but it is always WAY more crowded.

Soccer...
Yesterday was my second game. I once again realized why I don't like soccer....BORING!!!! Chasing after a ball kind of makes you feel like a dog. I think the first game was fun because it was the first time playing in like 10 years and it was something new.

Disney is tomorrow and I can not wait!!! Poor Scott is going to be taking a 7 year old to see Mickey...haha :) It is suppose to be 94 tomorrow with 30% chance of rain so it is going to be a GREAT day to go!

Love
Kym

First Blog

Friends and Family

This is the start of our new adventure together...ok driving down to FL was the first adventure but this will still be fun. We figured since we are not able to talk to all of you daily or on a regular basis this would be the best way for you do see and hear what we are up to.

Other than the every day things here are a few adventures we have gone on together:

Our first married adventure was driving 19 hours from MI to Orlando. This drive was A LOT better than our first drive when Scott moved down here. We had great conversation, laughs, and it was great being together. The car was packed to say the least and we were more than excited to be up at 4 in the morning. Driving recommendations is DO NOT ever drive through GA it is the longest state ever!!



The second weekend we were down here together Scott planned a minimoon (a.k.a halfmoon) for us to go on. We went to Hutchinson Island which is about an hour and a half south of Cocoa Beach. We had a great time laying on the beach and eating seafood. Our favorite place to eat was Conchy Joes.

We also have had our first visitors has a married couple. Kym's cousin Katie and her boyfriend Nick spent a few days with us. We decided that Seaworld Sucks!!! because it took us an hour and a half to get to car enterance :( Needless to say we decided to turn around and lay by the pool. We took Nick to see Mickey at downtown Disney...He was really excited :) It was great to see them and spend time together.

This past weekend was not so exciting because Kym was working to finish her MBA. She finished Sunday and is now waiting for final grades and feedback. Scott is happy that the past year and a half is over and Kym is not doing homework and complaining about school anymore. He is even taking her to Disney on Sat. to celebrate :)

Scott also convinced Kym to play soccer with him. So, last Thursday was her first soccer game (everyone laugh). We will leave it at that.....haha :) She had fun and it is another fun thing they get to do together!

This is only the start of our adventures being married and starting our family. We will keep everyone updated as things happen.

Love,
Scott and Kym
