What are we doing???
With the house pretty much SOLD :) We are starting to pursue the next step of finding and purchasing a NEW HOME!!! That is exciting and stressful at the same time. It's difficult to find what you want all in one place...you like this here and that at the other house, you know?
Jason had his first choreography camp today! He loved it!!! But don't tell him I told you that, LOL! He was showing us this evening...and he really is a GREAT dancer. He apparently has a nickname at school, but I won't get into that! Jason spent last weekend at Rock the Universe, and had a BLAST!!! He also led worship at service last night, and we are just soooo proud of him!
Heather is still doing very well at her job, according to her supervisors and those that have been showing her what to do. She IS also, still liking it! She is also making new friends in the workplace, so she is SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about that, couldn't stress that enough. She also went to the "young" adults meeting/activity on Sunday night and met some new faces from church. She will start attending a small/core group on Sunday evenings every other Sunday with these people!
Terri has enjoyed having her vehicle back this week so she can drive herself to and from school(work)! Heather had it to go to and from until she started working with Riley. She also kinda has the TV to herself, which she is enjoying:)
Riley has had to adjust his schedule at work to accommodate her hours, but that is working out so far! They went to eat at a local fish place just around the corner from work and had the fish and chips...it was mahi mahi today, and delish as Jason would say! Although, apparently a bit on the pricey side. Also at work, they apparently have unofficial Chinese Wednesdays at work...which is YUMMY!
Melissa gets here in 8 days!!! Could we BE more excited?!? Pray for her flight, this will be the first time she flies alone!
thats all the info I have for now! See you when I see you!

Has it really been that LONG?!?
I cannot believe how LOOOOONG it has been! Apologies for the interruption. A LOT has been going on since we last spoke. Heather got a job at JoAnn's as a cashier...part time. It was okay until she felt the repercussions of the first few days. Long hours standing on her feet, back hurting...it was then that she realized she wasn't necessarily cut out for retail!
Below we have a funny picture :) On a recent trip to Wal-Mart our family formed a "cart train"!!! We each had one and took them into Wal-Mart with us! We thought it was funny!
This is a picture of our FaBulous centerpiece that is sitting on our Living Room table. She is a part of a group of ladies participating in weekly projects. This week it was altering candle holders to put on your table! You can visit the Sassy Affair site here. You might have to sign in as a guest, but she is also posting her projects on HER blog here. She has the previous week as well as some more picture(s).
This was ONE of her projects from last week. She made a trick-or-treat basket for a Pumpkin Princess. Could be used as a candy holder for your desk or whatever you find a use for. She is selling it at her etsy site.
On many occasions Jason and Riley can be found watching television on our new TV. The ONLY tv in the house right now. Surprisingly it has been working out rather well. Although, it will be nice when we can all watch something differently...
WHAT ELSE??? Heather was able to quit her job for a Full Time position at Ocean Optics working as a Receptionist. She is very excited for this job opportunity and to have a regular work schedule and to be off on the weekends!!!
THE BEST NEWS YET...We have pretty much sold the house! Without any major findings upon final inspection, the house should close in a couple weeks!
Only two weeks until Melissa gets here!!! Hopefully this will be updated a little bit more regularly from now on. If you read this and find it hasn't been updated in a while...call us or email us and let us know!
We miss all of you and can't wait to see visitors!

Melissa's Coming!!!
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, that In exactly one month from today, she will be arriving from Omaha! We can't wait for her to get here, and look forward to her safe arrival! She'll get in around midnight and stay until noon Tuesday. We'll go the beach, go shopping and she'll visit local colleges that offer culinary!
So far so good...
All we received in reference to Fay is a bunch of rain! Schools were closed today, though and so were city and government offices, which includes the trash and stuff. I believe they are watching for another storm on it's way! So, keep updated on that!

HURRICANE FAY...and pics!
Yes, at this time it is all over the news. We are not not do we believe that we shall have to evacuate. Our evacuation level is E if you are following that at all! We are preparing though, and schools have been canceled here, so Jason's first day will be delayed! Just wanted to update everyone rather quickly! Check back to see how it went!
Oh yeah, and Jason got his Chuck Taylors all black, because those are the BEST! And I will post a pic of him in those later!
Here are some pics from the weekend!
Went to the commissary and bought some tropical fruit...delish!
Even though he hates his pic being taken, it has to happen sometime!
These little lizards (not always little) are EVERYWHERE!!!
Check back later to see what progresses!

Been a while...
Things have been rather hectic here at the Carrier household. After Terri got her job, she realized she had about a week to get ready to teach a whole new curriculum to a whole new grade, so on and so forth! I have been helping her at school and at home, and things still aren't ready! She did have Meet Your Teacher on Friday and that went really well!
Saturday, we thought we'd try something local...they had been advertising a Greek Wine Fest in Tarpon Springs...sounds good, food and wine...hopefully free and lots of fun stuff to do. Well, it was the equivilant of a few tents, some loud music and wine and food you had to pay for. And we had to pay for parking! Didn't stay very long, headed back home to watch a movie!
Today, we headed to the beaches after dad and Jason had to fix the Escape. Yep, the battery...only two year old, has had some tough times according to the auto shop guy. We went to two beaches in Tarpon Springs, one Sunset Beach, wasn't crowded at all, small, but perfect to lay out or picnic! The other one Howard Park, was a fairly large beach with quite a crowd. And it will be closed for about a year starting Sept. 2, 2008! So we only have a few days to take advantage of it...and it allows pets! I can't wait to take Boomer! We're thinking about going back there to picnic tomorrow night with Boomer! I will post pics when I have more time tomorrow...hoping to hear about a job interview I had last week and they went on vaca right afterward!
Family movie tonight is Fools Gold, Oh YEAH!!! We also went and saw The Dark Knight last night, it was AWESOME!!! Got me thinking about who the next villain will be, I'll post more about that later, let me know what you think!
