The Next Chapter
It's been awhile since we've posted on here...we've been extremely busy. We've taken several trips, Jen's next school year has begun, and oh yeah...we bought a house!
We will post pics later, but we've been hard at work painting and building floors, killing bugs, etc etc etc. Thanks to all our wonderful family members for helping out!
Tonight is our last night in our tiny 700 sq ft apt. I've been here for over 2 years and I have to say, Stonewood has been good to me. Thanks to this apt. I have been able to wake up no earlier than 7:40 everyday for the past 2 years. Thanks to this apt, my commute has been 5 to 8 minutes for the past two years. Thanks to this apt. I had my first real taste of city living. Thanks to this apt. I met some people who I am sure will be friends for life. Thanks to this apt. I met and married my wife Jennifer. So thanks for the good times apt 3107 and apt 1104.
Hello mortgage payments, commutes, lawnwork, early to bed early to rise, bills, bills, bills, bills, bills....WHAT HAVE WE DONE!???!!??!

ScHoOl's oUt FOr SUmMeR!
Well, I am starting my summer finally! Well...not really as I am teaching summer school, but it is only 12 days! Some fun things about this school year were having kids cry and say I was their favorite teacher..shock...playing around the last week of school...having some great new coworkers...and being called prejudice. Those have to be some highlights!
Some updates about fun and not-so-fun things:
1. Both Jon and I had to go to court multiple times for our separate tickets from the evil-cop-who-shall-not-be-named. Jon went to turn in the papers, got lost, came back, went again, didn't have all papers, and will go back once missing paper comes in the mail. I went with some evidence that I do in fact have window tint labels on my blacked out standard Corrolla. The ticket got dismissed but I didn't get to have my much anticipated day in court. I sat on the bench with the rest of the felons and waited for them to call my name and hand me a paper. Love it when my time is wasted!
2. We are looking for a house! Much better news! We put a bid on a house that was foreclosed and was a good deal but unfortunatley a few others also found the deal and we got outbid. So we are waiting to hear back on another house now and hope we get it. We keep making plans together like we are going to get it so I hope it comes true! It's close to both of our families and we both like it alot! Anyways, hgtv has quickly become our favorite channel!
3. We got to have a fun Martin reunion thanks to the fabulous graduate and fellow cougar Laurel. It is so fun to visit with everyone and see all the little ones! Shout out to Lizzie and her cast. Just a side effect of all the fun the Martin's have together!
4. Here is a video I like shown to me by my sister Ashley, who has the best taste.

Our little lime tree
So about a month ago we had a new addition to our tiny family/apartment. I have been nourishing the lime tree everyday and charting it's growth and find myself strangely fascinated by how it is actually growing. Maybe it has to do with never really getting any other plant to grow but whatever it is I kind of want to take pictures everyday just to see the change.
It starts to flower and form the limes in the middle. I probably should have known that being a science teacher but I was just so excited to see that I was getting fruit growing!
I thought this was a cool shot of the fruit. Man am I really blogging about a tree??
My fruit
Anyways, there is our little tree found on our little patio of our little apartment. Hopefully one day it will grow up to be a nice big tree and make me proud.
