Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

A Day together in Fort Wayne!

Friday was so much fun! Chris worked from home in the morning and then around 2:30pm we picked up Candice at her house then we headed for Science Central in Fort Wayne! We had a blast playing all of the silly rides and we did a really cool maze thing that we got somewhat lost the first time, but managed to make it through in less than a minute the second try.

Candice had never been to a hockey game, so we took her to one! Which was the plan before Science Central but I thought i'd tell you that! So we went to Memorial Collesium for a Komets Hockey Game.

The Fort Wayne Komets played the Kalamazoo Wings. It was a good game! The score was 4-1, fort Wayne won! But it was close until the last quarter, that's when the Komets stepped it up!

Before the game we stopped at a club called CLUB SODA. The atmosphere there was wonderful, it was like buniess peopley and everyone had conversations going with multiple groups, it was cool.

We went to eat at Lucky's. They have GRRRRReat mushroom burgers! Chris likes the Tuna!

Decisions, Decisions

Chris and I are faced with a big decision... Do we want to buy a little Pizza place? The thought is very tempting, but it will however be a big responsibility and a lot of work.

Chad who is Lara's brother in-laws brother, (did you catch all that) bought it, and it turned out to be way to much work for him to go to school full time (he's a year away from his masters) and work full-time as head of nursing 2ND floor (i don't know his real title but i know it's the second floor) and manage the pizza shop. He's only wanting to sell it to us for what he has in it. If we say no, he is going to try to sell it for 80% profit.

So we'll be deciding if Lara should quit her job to take this on full-time. We both are excited and just want to go for it, because we know the owner and we know it's making a monthly profit, but then again, it's still a risk. Any comments from anyone?


Chris and I are about to go to a hockey game tonight in Fort Wayne. Candice is going with us. Candice is a good friend to us! She and I actually just had a dinner date last night at Olive Garden and enjoyed great conversations! She even bought! How wonderful is she?

Chris will be on salary for another 6 months! SCORE! Just what we wanted to have happen! It's nice to know the exact income than to have it fluctuating like it would on commission.

Class is going well for me! I'm not falling behind yet, though Chris did take today, a normal homework day off. Plus Classes aren't really up to speed yet, I'll let you know how I'm doing with work and school after a bit.

Thanks for stopping by, next week I'll be posting a picture of my favorite little girl that comes to Chuck E Cheese's! Christmas pics hopefully will be up soon! The desktop is still not running and that's where the pictures are!!! I can't beleive the one time I take them off the camera before i get them saved to the web, this happens!

Love ya all!

Stupid Computers

Oh how great computers are when they work! Our desk top has taken a little break on us! Once we get it running again I'll have the pictures from TN posted and hopefully the rest of the Pennsylvania pictures up for us.

Anyway- so I'm on the laptop which also, works at it's own convenience. But on a plaus note, I'm taking both a math and english class this semester through Ivy Tech and WHOO! I got an A in my Psychology course- sorry this computer is on a delay for something, and I'm sorry if there is a word missing here or there or something. But yeah, I got an A! Go me!! Two classes this semester doesn't seem to be too overwhelming at the moment. Math is online and English is on Tuesday nights.

I made a new friend, okay well I just met a new person at class last tuesday. Her name is Cortney, with no U, I was like well, I'm Lara with no U. She is actually really good friends with a girl that used to work at Chuck E Cheese. Brittany. I told her to tell Brittany we miss her terribly because she was a really great closer, who seems to really be enjoying her higher paychecks and deli slicing duties at Krogers. But she's awesome.

Cortney has 2 little girls and lives with her boyfriend in a smaller apartment. She's studying Human resources and does not like school it seems, but i bet she was just as excited as me and didn't want to seem as a big dork like i was! :)

Chris had a business back out of a sale at the last minute. He wasn't happy but understood why they did it. He's had other luck though selling PM's and other service to school districts and such. He's having a terrible time with one fo the girls in the office. Chris is to sit in with the BIG GUYS about going commission or not with him. Chris said he will not go on commission with this girl in the office.

Today, I signed us up for the FIVE BUCK CLUB at Kerasotes theaters. It will save us $7 everytime we go to the movies! and it was free to join haha! Well, I'm gonna get going and hope to update more often! With or without pictures!

Love you!
