Boredom..

Sarah and I have lived in the new apartment for 3 weeks now! WOW! Crazy! One thing I have noticed though is just how bored we get. During the summer, most of our friends are at home and won't be back till August, right before school starts. So, we get somewhat bored a lot of the time. Well, I think tonight we got a little toooooo bored.... Check this out...

All was well...

When I was in 5th grade, I remember someone saying, "You should ready Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It's really good and you get a ton of Accelerated Reader Points for it!" I remember reading it and not putting it down. I was hooked! Harry Potter has been more than a book and movie series for me in a way. It was a part of my childhood like Toy Story was. I have read each book about 3 times, since they came out. I've watched the movies too many times to count and I've been to 3 out of 8 midnight showings at the theaters. 

Needless to say, last night (well, this morning technically) I was so emotional at the end. I felt like my childhood was officially over. I bawled like a baby the last half of the movie. BUT, the movie was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I want to go see it again and again and again. I just wish movies weren't so expensive! Haha. I guess all there is to say now is.... 

MISCHIEF MANAGED! :)

Going out of business....

Seymour isn't a very big town. No joke. It's probably about half the size of Johnson City. But, it has specific landmarks that have been there for forever. Well, my sister just texted me and told me that one of those places that have been there since I was younger is going out of business.... Big Mama's Karaoke Cafe'! :(

I remember when it opened. We thought it was so cool that Seymour got something so hip, I guess that's the right term. Haha. I didn't have the best taste in music back then. I would sing "Strawberry Wine" alllllll the time, and, of course, "Hit Me Baby One More Time." When I was younger like elementary school, that was the place to have your birthday party. I can't even remember all the parties I went to there. A ton of little kids singing Brittany Spears at the top of their lungs, can you even imagine?! Haha. I even had my first date there. AWKWARD! I don't even remember how I met the guy, but I met him at Karaoke for his little sister's birthday party. Word of advice, don't ever go on a first date at a birthday party.....so not fun. Needless to say, things didn't work out. Haha.

Anyway, it just makes me sad that something that I grew up going to is going out of business.

On another note, I do not think you realize how excited I am for Harry Potter Thursday night! I kinda want to dress up, which I'm sure there will be a ton of people all dressed up, but I've decided not to. I think that would humiliate my dad a little too much!

All moved in..

Wow. Can you believe I am all moved into my new apartment? Yeah me neither.

Yesterday was absolutely crazy and full of unexpected delays. We woke up around 7ish to load up my dad's truck. Well, the original plan was that we were going to take my dad's truck and my papaw's big van. Turns out my papaw's van was not working. We were freaking out. We had told Sarah not to worry we had plenty of room....that wasn't the case.. My car was full, my papaw's jeep was full, my dad's truck was full, Sarah's dad's car was full, her car was full and we still needed to somehow get her bed and shelf to the apartment. Yep. We were worried. Luckily, my papaw is a genius when it comes to packing, so we decided to tie my mattress on top of his jeep and put everything else including her mattress and bed stuff on the truck all tied up. Somehow it miraculously stayed on there all the way up here. Thank goodness. Well, we were about to leave when my dad looked at my tire and saw that metal was showing. There was no way I could drive it like that....really?! My dad hopped in my car and headed to the mechanic for new tire. After he got back, we were finally on our way. After about two hours carefully following the speed ticket since it's a holiday weekend, we made it. The apartment was LOCKED!!! The office ladies were supposed to leave the keys in the fridge for us to pick up. We were freaking out, yet again. We called the office, but it's the weekend so they were closed. We decided to walk around to the back to see if a window was loose or something. Thank goodness one was, so we popped out the window and Sarah climbed in! After that fiasco, we were fine. We were unpacking like crazy.  But, we finally got everything unpacked and set up and said our goodbyes to our daddy's and my papaw. We were left alone....finally in the new place, our place. :) Sarah and I were soooo exhausted. We went to the grocery store, rented a movie, took our showers and just laid on the futon and watched a movie, relieved that everything was finally done and we were there thankfully!

Oh, we will not have internet or cable until Tuesday. Right now, we are Starbucks using the internet! Haha. I've decided you never really realize how much you miss something until you don't have it!
