as many of you know life changes all the time.
one change in the life of the newey's is that we are not longer cell phone people. we will see how long this holds out-i must admit i am excited. but at the same time i am a little worried. i have had a cell phone since the beginning of my sophmore year in college. but i think this will be a freeing experience.
i know what you must be thinking-yeah sure it sounds nice but once reality hits i will be going through cell phone withdrawls. I don't think this will happen. in fact-i am so impressed by the amount of people worried for me that the need for fear is sliping directly into the hands of the onlookers as they craddle their phones with a parent like snuggle.
i say change is good and for those that are looking for a drastic change in budget, outlook, and some personal time try getting rid of your cell phones. :) let me know how it goes

Ode to Black Friday
Black Friday
Black Friday
the early morning ring of the clock
bringing with its ringing the joys of savings
with ads well marked and a plan well mapped
out to find the presents to be wrapped
Many flew at the sight of the lines
but those with weak stomachs won't get the finds
no fighting
no biting
just laughs and long talks
long drives gives us
a chance to catch up
finally done with socks in hand
on cloud nine ready for lunch
find something new to munch
what deals we have found
what time we have spent
oh Black Friday
oh great day

capitalization and spelling
two things in the english language i hate. spelling and capitalzation. you know what i mean-proper noun this, start of a sentance that. their, there, they're-need i say more.
it wasn't until i ventured out of this closed minded language that i found that there is freedom out there. freedom to spell the word monday without having to push that stupid shift button down. i found the liberty to spell a word exactly the way it sounds without just throwing in a c here and a b there for no good reason.
i know-i have taken the english classes that have explained all the good reasons for spelling lamb the way we do and that it stems from the foundations of the english language but this new language i have found has roots far deeper then that of the english and still are so nice to those who speak it.
americans have such trouble spelling that we had to create a program that will either automatically fix any spelling errors caused by neglect or will hightlight it to let us know that we are incorrect and better fix the underlined word or you will send this paper/email to someone who will notice your deficiencies as an english speaker and will publicly mock you.
i just don't see the point. some one please shed some light on this situation. and if you are just as concerned about all this grammer jibber-jabber as i am rise up and take a stand!
i believe that all theirs are created equal, and i is no better then e even if it comes after c. the p's and h's in my words will no longer remain silent just to appease the views of men.

Changes
i thought i would start this entry with a little update since i haven't been on here in a while. first-we bought a car as old as me! lol its a 1986 chevy nova and it looks great! its missing its muffler so its a little loud but andy uses it just to run around town and he is enojoying fixing it up. i guess its one of his dreams to rebuilt a classic car some day.
i recently lost my job at the drug and alcohol rehad in idaho falls. they lost funding and i unfortunatly lost a job becuase of it. the worst part was that i found out i lost my job while we were in mexico. it only put a damper on our trip for a few hours and then after that it was old news. i'll get to our mexico honeymoon in a min. when we got home i was called by my old boss from salt lake express with a great job offer. its a pretty cushy office job, 8-4 mon-fri and it was a huge blessing. that is where i am at right now-it was a pretty big adjustment and it still is.
our mexico trip was really fun. we loved being warm and loved spending time together. we rented a car and drove all over seeing so many new things. we fell in love with snorkling and xel-ha was probably the best part of the trip. all you can eat food, free transport, snorkling, dolphins, cliff jumping and all kinds of fun stuff! the ruins were amazing and the beaches rocked!
we really enjoyed our time there and would definatly recommend it to anyone! Tulum rocks!
school is still going. andy is a teachers aid again and it actually filling in for his teacher when he is out of town. the other day he walked into class to teach and the kids started to complain and two just walked out. then andy told them that no one had to be there is they didn't want to and five for kids walked out. LAME! it made me mad. punk college kids.
we are still happy and healthy and loving life. pics will come soon

So an apple a day doesn't keep the doc away...
http://www.kirotv.com/money/20089894/detail.html
for all of those who own an apple ipod or nano or anything of the kind should definatly look at this link. its not to scare because, heaven knows we have enough to be scared of. but check it out for info sake and yeah. i personally do not own an ipod but i do have a little mp3 player. i love it tons! andy does have a shuffle and we will be watching where we put it from now on.
a little update on life-
things are good with us. we are almost through finals and getting ready to go to mexico. i have graded lots of papers for andy and its boring. i don't know how poeple do it day in and day out. yuck. but he is excited for his little break. he will most likely start working again for the survey place. they love him so much there because of his ability to talk with anyone about anything! isn't he great!? so that would be great if he could.
i'm still here at my job at the rehab place for teens and i love it. i really enjoy being with the youth-it keeps me young. some days are better then others but the good always outshine the bad.

The weekend
again i have found myself at work and i was just thinking about how the universe work and how the earth is such a great thing. well after thinking these wonderful thoughts, my mind wandered to a hiking adventure that would be great fun, well that brought up the thought, when? then i realized that today is friday and that the weekend starts as soon as i walk out the Harbor House door. isn't that such a strange thing. who came up with "the weekend"? and whoever did, why? whats the point? i like to take me weekend whenever i dang well please, thank you very much. now i have to go through a horrible monday, a very long wednesday, a thursday that almost always feels like a friday and a sunday that feels like it may as well be a monday because i'm too busy fussing that the "weekend" is almost over. hmmmm...
well while i'm on here i may as well let you in on what is happening in the newey life. we are still very happy and doing great. i had been sick for the last week and it wasn't very fun but im off antibiotics and doing great! andy is coming to the close of school. he will have just 2 days left next week and then he will be done. to his dismay, i still have to work and so will he so the summer vacation will really not be a vacation-just a different type of work. you know that europe does a thing where you can take off for like a month or two and travel and have fun. maybe we should look into that. plus they have lots of holidays off and then just random celebrations where no one wakes up untill noon and immediatly gets drunk for the rest of the day/night. ... sorry... on a brighter note we are getting excited for mexico and can't wait to get outta here! we didn't get a honeymoon so this will be the big event. i'm glad we are doing it this way-we know eachother a lot better, we have a little more money to play with, plus there won't be near the amount of stress as in december! :)
i love it! and i love you...

Oh Y oh Y
So as i am stilling here, at work, not working, i was thinking to myself "self-what posessed you to get a blog? do you have time to blog? are there no better things to be doing with your time? like saving orphans from some kind of marxist lunatic? or perhaps there is some sock drawer that needs cleaning?" to these questions myself and i have no answers. so here i am...blogging...
