On an exciting news, the Lakers are world champions!! Yeah baby, Kobe and company pulled it off and they are primed to win another championship next year assuming they keep this group together.  back-to-back hopefully (keeping fingers crossed).   The whole playoff run was exciting and I watched each and every game the Lakers played.

Joselyn is done with Kindergarten and she is currently in summer school.  She received several awards during her kindergarten year including two academic achievement awards and a reading award.  She received straight “O”s on her final grade… which pretty much equates to straights “A”s.  Mommy and daddy are very proud.

We’re still staying at June’s parents house but were actually getting our debt paid off and starting to get our head above water, staying here have been really helpful for us.

Junalyn’s birthday is this Sunday and I believe were going to have a family lunch/dinner out.  Happy B-Day hun =)

I’m going to start making a conscious effort on updating my website often, at least weekly.  ;) no seriously…

The highlight of the weekend was eating out at BJs and going out to play basketball again haven’t played ball in forever. Hopefully I’ll get my ass out more and be more active. I really need to get back into shape, not that I’m fat or anything but it just feels good to get the heart pumping.
So now it’s time to knock out and get ready for another fun workweek

Nothing much to write up about in my boring ass life, I’m still working at fidelity but I’m working the morning shift from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM.. Yes I said 6:00 AM as in the MORNING.. It took me about a week but I’m getting used to waking up early to make it to work on time….

Jojo got the student of the month on her first month in Kindergarten!!! They had a big awards ceremony last Friday and they gave out the awards/certificates to all the kids that got the honors on various grades.. Ahh the joys of parenthood.. I’m soooooooo proud of my little OVERACHIEVER!!! LOL on top of that, June got the employee of the month @ UPS a couple of months ago.. hehe like mother like daughter!!!

Can’t wait for the Lakers to start playing again, the season starts at the end of this month and this season will be a doooozy..

We’re starting to pay off most of our credit card bills.. Today we paid off Junalyn’s Capital One for $1300 and next up is Best Buy for about $3K then a couple of other cards and we’ll be DEBT FREE!!

Got a new pair of glasses today and I can see so much better with them, along with the glasses i’m actually gonna start using contacts too.. It feels good when I have them on.. its like a whole new world out there heh!

OK its past 8:00 PM and I gotta get ready for bed……. gotta wake up by 4:30 in the MORNING!!! Yikes!

I’ve come to the realization that some of the vids are fake but they are still entertaining. Check out a couple if you like.

This first one is called Chain Surfing.. I’m about 101% sure that it’s fake but it looks pretty cool I guess. Secpnd one is a compilation of reporters getting pwned.

This week was hectic, there was a major change at work.. A change that really didn’t make sense.  But whatever I’m still employed and as long as I get a paycheck for the next two months I’m OK.

We need to start cleaning up and packing..  In case I haven’t mentioned it we’ve decided on moving back to LA.  My wife’s last day on the job is April 25 and she starts working in LA on April 28th.  I’ve been looking for a job and so far I’ve had several call backs.  Too bad I can’t set up any interviews yet because I’m all the way in Charleston but hopefully when we get to LA I get something right away.

OK so this is really a big deal and I don’t think we’re all that prepared but it just isn’t working out for us here.  We’re got tons of lists to go through and so far we’re way behind.  Because of that I’ll need to stay here until the middle or end of May while my wife goes to LA, gets an Apt and gets everything settled.. Then I’ll follow..  That way we’ll have dual income until the last minute.

I drive about 45min to 1 hour each way every day.. Isn’t that just awesome?? And all this for a very healthy income of about…nevermind Its not a real healthy income =/

Although it’s raining alot this week.. Spring is actually the best time here in Charleston.  Not as good as LA but the weather is actually livable.. Because come summer it gets in the 110s with very very very high humidity..  During spring however its breezy in the high 70s low 80s so yeah perfect weather in Charleston is there’s ever such a thing.

Just thought I’d make a quick blog since I haven’t written in a couple of days.  My mind is blank and I can’t think of anything to write about right now, hopefully something comes to mind and I’ll have that blogger’s mentality and just blog like crazy but for now I’m just gonna watch American Idol, then the Lakers then go to sleep. Gnite I guess.

Ahh so what’s been going on this week?  Well in Sports, UCLA is playing in a couple of hours as they have made it to the elite eight.  A win today and they’re on their way to the Final Four.  The Lakers have lost 2 in a row to two of the worst teams in the NBA and Kobe is only one technical away from a mandatory one game suspension.

As for us, we got back on Friday then headed over to Downtown Charleston walked around, had some sushi and then some ice cream.  We’re just going to stay in the rest of the weekend.  Probably do some cleaning, finish the laundry and watch some hoops on the TV.

Other things are brewing but I’m not gonna mention these things until they are confirmed.
