So we bought a house... and are moving soon... and my hair is dark now.
Our house is being worked on... so I will post pictures of it when we get back from our pilgrimage in November. Since graduation I have been working my butt off and growing older and fatter by the second.
So this past week I decided to do more about it than getting a gym membership and never using it... I am going to drop the "just married" weight. THE END. (i do actually have a plan)
(My fat mii on wii fit)
Also I tried to touch up my roots cause' I couldn't get my hair dresser- and turned my hair bright orange. Brighter than the freakin' sun orange. So I went and got it fixed- and it's now dark. I like it though. I feel smarter in it...don't quite know why. No, it's not red, it's chocolaty... just a red wall.
We have been buying things for the house which are constantly filling up our house. (Sorry Meg, your room is full of stuff, but you can still get to the bed.) Chandeliers, sofas, armoirs, you name it, it's hangin' around somewhere. I cannot WAIT to move into our new place and get settled.
I am really getting nervous about starting school. Every time I think about it I get a little nauseous, and the closer January gets, the worse it becomes. Can't wait to stop working 80hr weeks though.
Fall is upon us and I am soaking every oz. of it in since it will be my last real one for about 10 years. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, the sweaters and boots are out in stores and I am having to fight all my urges in order to not buy all sorts of shit I will have to move. Not to mention I don't have any moneys to buy that shit. Anyway, hopefully I will be able to find some time to get away with Jon and enjoy our last fall together.
Maybe we can take this train far into the mountains for the weekend... ha, I wish.
I think that's about all for now.. more to come when my life begins to move more forward rather than spinning it's wheels...
I GRADUATED!!!!
So I just finished my last final of my Bachelors degree and can hardly stand it!!!! I am Magna Cum Laude Joy Hickman, RN-BSN and lovin every minute of it. I am going to FL to celebrate instead of walking the graduation stage and will post my special beach version of graduation pictures when I get back. Yay for me! Finally, 4 years of pure torture have come to an end and now I get six months off before grad school. Stay tuned....
Spring is here!!!
First pictures of doglett and myself in my back yard swing on a most enjoyable spring day...
Then on to our hiking adventure..
It was an awesome day filled with beauty and clear air rushing through my lungs...
(The house belongs to a friend of ours, it is not my old one)

And then here is how the world will end... It's actually quite comforting.
Christmasness all over the Chatt town...
feature all of the great photo ops.. see?!
This is the best part of my yard... so romantic looking...
And then we (being my mother and myself) went to the very cheesy but very festive Enchanted Garden of Lights at Rock City. For those not familiar with Chattanooga, there are tons of touristy things to do outside, the crown jewel being Rock City and Ruby Falls. As a Chattanoogan for the past 4 years I can say that there is nothing special about Rock City until the lights come out, then it is something to pay money for.
Speaking of money, Mom and I had a coupon for buy one get one admission free to the lights (its NOT cheap). We thought we were doing so good and all excited about our good deal but then of course spent the same money on silly souvenirs and overpriced pictures and of course Starbucks.. all in all a great time was had.
This one is particularly strange, especially of me, but I love it so much I had to share it anyway...
Rock City is worth the hike because there is much fun to be had if you are with someone you love~ thats my two cents anyway
Go out and have fun this Holiday!
