It's D Day. (AKA, dreaded Dentist Day)

I'm getting my permanent crown and 3 fillings at 3:30 today. I don't think anything can be worse then last time I went in to get my temporary crown on...so, lets hope today isn't horrible.
What a joyous day!

Better news...Jesse is taking our taxes in today! I hope we get a stellar return!

Also..I've started knitting. haha! It's a fun little hobby I have picked up. Jesse just looks at me like..."oh my God...". Whatever.....I have an old soul! ha!

And, that's all I got.

Weekend Recap...

Jesse and I had a nice chat this weekend..... hum, how to pay off our debt FAST. ;)
The dreaded conversation....but, we set up some totally do-able goals, and I'm feeling really confident about it! March 2010....we should be paid off! ;) Wish us luck...

This weekend we watched lots of movies! It was nice to relax, and not have plans!
Our movie watching included the following:

1.) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (in the comfort of my own home).
Amazing movie....very long....but very good!

2.) Seven Pounds (also in the comfort of my own home)
AHHHHH-mazing. You will cry.

3.) My Best Friends Girl (Netflix..)
Jesse was not excited about it, but he laughed through the movie! Ahhh...Dane Cook.

4.)Eagle Eye (Redbox...which I found to be a great invention)
Eh..."action movies" aren't really my favorite...but I just like that guy from Even Stevens. haha!

I also learned...to knit. Yes..don't make fun. I whipped up TWO SCARVES! I can't wait to expand my knitting knowledge! hahaa.............

School?

So, I've come to the decision...

I'm going back to school. SCHOOL? Crap. First of all, school is not my cup of tea...never has been. Second of all....school is EXPENSIVE! I found out also that my work offers tuition reimbursement.... So I will talk to my boss about that FO SHO!

Jesse and I are going to make it work though...it will be a good investment. ;)
So the last couple of days I have been getting my stuff together, sending off for transcripts, trying to figure out just where to begin......

Ughy. School.

Blog Schmog.

My brother insisted that I give the blog world a shot.... So here I am. Blogging.

I think this will be a fun way for my parents, grandparents, cousins, etc to keep up with The Courters.

Ok, so this weekend Jesse and I had planned to do "Extreme Room Renovation" in our guest room/computer room/storage room. We were on a budget as we are trying to save and pay off debt, so it was fun to see what we could do with the $$ we were planning to spend. $100 was our budget, but Home Depot had everything we needed at a good price! And thanks to my Aunt Roni and Uncle Mike for that $50 Home Depot gift card Christmas gift! And my mom and dad got me the ceiling fan I wanted as a early birthday gift.

This room renovation was an all day process, but it was very worth it in the end. My mom and brothers came over for a while, and Wyatt helped put up the new ceiling fan...

You can look at before and after pictures of the room HERE.

Other then that, I'm getting back into the swing of work after the lovely 4 day weekend!

And...Go OBAMA! I can't wait to watch the inauguration when I get home. I'm DVRing it...
