Lindsey's Life :)

WOW

2007-08-25T12:33:20Z

Wow since its been a year, you think I should update??? Well things are still great in Atlanta, though very HOT!!! We still love Chief and Bruiser, our dogs, and we are adopting our 3rd and final dog tomorrow! We are getting a minpin puppy that we are naming Lilly. She is 15 weeks old and blind. We know we will have our hands full, but we are so excited to get her!!!

Things are still good with David's job at Rinnai. He just got a big promotion and that has been good and he has been alot less stressed. I'm due for my yearly review next month, and it can't come soon enough!

Hope everyone is doing well in LJ land!

Bored again.........

2006-08-29T22:27:03Z

Ok so I'm sitting in class bored out of my mind AGAIN!!! This is freaking nuts, not only am I bored, but we got our tests back and while I didn't do bad, she is being a bitch on giving points back when half of the test's questions are tricky and she even admits it!! UGH!!! I hate teachers like this. It doesnt help I pretty much am already done with this class. Its very frustrating and annoying and completly uninteresting.............

ok anyway.....so while I hate the class I LOVE my new job. I love doing the patent work and its really cool and I'm pretty much swamped all the time! I rarely get free time which is a nice change from my last job where I did nothing all the time. My bosses are pretty cool, though I just picked up a third while someone is out on personal leave and she is so high maintenance. I spent 30 min on the phone making her dinner reservations, only to have her pick a different restaurant. UGH so annoying!!!

Hmm lets see what else is new in my life.........David and I are doing well, we have been in GA for over a year now which is insane. I miss my friends at times, and I did miss my 5 yr class reunion which was a bummer, but I guess thats life. We had intended to come up and visit this summer, but we both had job changes so it didnt allow for that. We were both bummed. This will be the first time, this coming weekend, that his parents have even met our new puppy, Bruiser, as they don't exactly make the effort to come down and when we do leave GA we tend to go to my lake.

Ok I think thats enough for one day........not sure what else I can say.

SO bored......

2006-08-02T00:29:29Z

So I'm sitting in my Paralegal class and I'm bored out of my freaking mind, so I thought I would do a monthly update.

First, I really like my job. Its really interesting and 90% of the people I work with are very cool and easy going and easy to talk to. Other than my REALLY high maintenance boss, everything goes pretty smooth. He isn't too bad, just demanding and he feels the need to explain things over and over which is frustrating as all ge out

OO class is over early!

HI!

2006-06-18T01:18:09Z

Wow! So its been a REALLY long time!!! David got a new job really far away from where we live but its a HUGE raise, so he can deal with a 55 mile one way commute. Around here, everyone seems to do it!

I'm still searching for a new job since I'm leaving Starwood. My boss has a HUGE stick up her ass, like beyond huge and while I like the people I work with, nothing else is working. I REALLY hope to get on with this intellectual property law firm. It would be a super cool area to get in to and a real niche so once I had the experience I could be set for a while. Its the type of law though where you have to have a certain undergrad degree I dont have, so I couldnt practice it, but at least I would have the knowledge.

Speaking of school, I'm starting Emory paralegal school in July. It is two nights a week and I would get a paralegal certificate with the Emory name on it. I realize its not law school and some of you out there may be disappointed in me, but such is life. I didnt get in to law school this year, so I have to put it off a year. We'll see where things stand in October when I need to re-take the LSAT which is why I didnt get in this year.

So wanna hear something wierd? My ex-boyfriend has now moved to Atlanta and we have been hanging out with him. Its pretty cool, just a little strange.

Ok I think that was a record long update for a while. Maybe next time I get this drunk I will update again, and yes, I typed this whole thing while I'm drunk.

BIG NEWS!!!

2006-01-24T02:08:39Z

So we aren't pregnant, but I did a) get a new job and b) we bought a house all in one day!!! The new job is with Starwood Hotels as a legal admin assistant. It is a pay raise plus I get benefits!!

The house is a townhouse in Kennesaw, Georgia. Its about 10 miles north of where we live now, its brand new, never been lived in, and we close 2/24!! I can't wait!! I'm so ready to own my own house and not have to worry about losing my security deposit every time something happens. I don't have pics, but the builder is touchstone homes if you are ambitious!

The only thing that would make things better is if I got my acceptance letter......

house-hunting

2005-10-31T01:51:56Z

So we went looking at houses today..........we found one we absolutley love, 5 bedrooms 3 baths, we don't even have enough furniture for it!!! Unfortunately while you don't have to have money for a down payment thanks to the federal government you do have to have money for movers and insurance and that jazz..........I think that is going to prevent us from being able to get it :-( We had a very expensive month around here and while we do have savings its not that much! I wish the stock market wasn't losing money so I could pull my investments and not lose money on them, but I can't do that either.

anyway....aside from my misery about not being able to get the house, nothing much else is up around here. Same ole' same ole' My job is awful!!! I don't even want to go in the office anymore, especially not this Tuesday since its billing day which means life is going to be a living hell and no one but me seems to understand that. ugh.......I pray each day that I will get a new job!!!

I hope everyone else is doing well and don't forget you are all welcome to visit since its warmer in the south than the north ;-)

another update

2005-10-24T17:12:56Z

So TIffany seems to think I need to update......hmm....whats new??? Well, I am actively seeking a new job, I am praying I get into Georgia State Law school next fall, and I love Atlanta weather!

I still hate my current job, and so I'm submitting my resume everywhere!! I had a meeting last week with one of the honor societies from school, Sigma Alpha Lambda, about possibly becoming a traveling leadership consultant. I would travel to chapters and help them out and observe and such. I hope I get the job, the hours would be so much better and I would get to have my own schedule with no office!! YAY!!!

We had christmas photos yesterday so you all need to get me new addresses so I can send you a card!! We figured this was the most efficient way to let everyone know our new address since we had no idea what we were doing at the wedding.

I think thats enough for one lunch hour :-)

another birthday.........

2005-10-08T12:14:11Z

So I'm a year older...........I guess I'm kinda glad to not be 21 anymore because it seems that a negative conotation comes along with being 21 and I didn't quite fit that title. Ok so maybe I did a bit in DC while I was doing a bar crawl, but mainly I wasn't your typical 21 year old, so I'm glad not to be 21 anymore. It was wierd, especially here in a big city, saying that I was married and only 21. People didn't want to believe me!!

Oh well!! Jenni is in town this weekend and we are going to the spa today as part of my birthday present. David totally came through this year whcih was nice since he didn't do anything the last two years!

Work sucks, but I took the LSAT last weekend so hopefully I will have a good score and start day school next fall at Georgia State! That would be awesome!!!

In other news, we are trying to sell my Trailblazer! I never really liked it from the beginning, we were kinda pressured to buy it because we thought the GM pricing was ending like that night, so we bought it before I really had time to appreciate it and want it. I love the color, but thats about it. Its sluggish on hills, which we have here in the south, it also pauses when you accelerate hard, so I can't shoot in front of traffic because the car in going in front of will probably hit me. Its fully loaded, so its a pretty sweet car, just not quite what I want. Don't get me wrong, I have no idea what I want, but we'll see what happens. We have it listed on this website called craigslist.com It is horribly addicting!! Its a free classified website and there is a different website for many major cities, including indy, across the country.

ok I think that is enough for now! Oh, in other news as well, we are no longer coming home for homecoming. We thought we were going to get to hang out with everyone, but some people don't seem to care so we have decided to save the gas money and do something else that weekend.

long time no update

2005-09-18T01:51:23Z

Well its been a while so I thought I would do a quick update. Things are going well here in Atlanta. David really likes his job and mine is so so. I Have one boss that is a complete jerk so I'm taking the LSAT October 1 soI can go back to school next fall. Nothing like a crappy boss to give me motivation to get my degree!!

Chief is doing well, he's a whole 6 months old now and 10 pounds now. We are looking to get another dog so he can have a playmate, but David keeps saying no! Its not for my lack of trying though!! I'm holding out for my birthday :-)

So my parents have already been down twice so I wouldventure to guess they will be moving within a few years.

So I never thought I would say this, but I do miss Terre Haute. I miss Sonka's, Crossroads Cafe, and my friends, but not classes!! go figure...........

You all need to come visit!!

Good news!!

2005-07-13T11:03:42Z

David got a job!!!! This is so exciting and we couldn't be happier!! Things were starting to get stressful around here and this totally fixes the problem. It is with an environmental engineering firm that is pretty small. He really wanted the job so this is perfect and the money is good and willbe a huge help around here.

In my world, I got a new car!! I got a 2005 Trailblazer LT. I have been wanting one for some time, and with the GM pricing plus the trade from my jeep, it was good timing.

Work is going fairly well. The other girl leaves Friday and I can't wait. She treats me like I'm an idiot and its driving me nuts!! It has been nice having her do everything though, but Monday will be a wake up call. I have work email!!! You all should email me at LCorbin@cohenandcaproni.com :-) Its official!!

I hope all of you are doing well although I have no idea who reads this!

good news!!

2005-06-21T02:42:17Z

So I got a job today!!! YAY!!! My first interview in Atlanta and my first job!! I'm so excited!! I will be a paralegal/secretary for a small law firm in Sandy Springs! I start on Monday and my salary is $32,500. I am so excited!!

Things are really good around here, we are living with my aunt and uncle, and we are going to start looking for our own place tomorrow. David is still looking for a job, but at least one of us has a job which is a start in the right direction.

I expect everyone to come visit us, especially if you weren't able to come to the wedding. The wedding was beautiful but insane!! The day went fairly well, just a few glitches that people wouldn't know about unless they knew all the plans. The church coordinator was AWFUL but otherwise the church was beautiful!

Keep us in your prayers as we try to find a place to live and David is on the job hunt!

two weeks from today...........

2005-05-21T14:21:00Z

So the wedding is two weeks from today....AHH!!! I feel like I have done a ton of stuff, but I still have SO much more to do!! I wish it would just get here so I can finally relax and get some sleep.

David is done with classes and graduates next weekend. This is really exciting for us, now we just wish we had a job! ANYTHING!!! Today we have more wedding stuff to learn about how to not have kids without using birth control.........yeah right! LOL

Tomorrow we are going to a young alumni event for Rose at the Indy 500. I am totally excited because one of my dreams is to go to the Indy motor speedway! We got garage passes and everything. I'm SO excited!!

More later....

random update

2005-04-21T21:22:29Z

So its time for one of those random updates that i do......except today we have good news!! David has a 4th round interview with Anhescuer-Busch and a plant tour in St. Louis!! I've never been to St. Louis, but its a big city and I'm sure I can get accustomed to it!!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate classes this semester. I am doing absolutley awful in them, and yes pam, C's still get degrees!! I have one teacher trying to sue me, another class in which I have an F, and a third where the Prof doesnt like me and won't calculate my grade.

Otherwise I'm just plain ready to graduate!! Oh, and job wouldn't hurt either.....

its been awhile

2005-04-05T23:32:59Z

So I realize its been awhile since I've updated, but I'm pretty irked so it warrants a post. I apologize in advance........

I am SO sick of getting blamed for things! ITS NOT MY FAULT!! I don't ask things to happen, they just do.

For those of you that don't know, all in a matter of one week lets see:

1) Had a teacher threaten to sue me and get me out of her class
2) Discovered I didn't get my dream job that I RREALLY wanted
3) My driver's side window on my car broke and my car had to go to the shop

** Oh wait that was all on ONE day**

4) Discovered Bridesmaids dresses didn't fit
oh and 5) David went in for surgery friday morning and when he was in recovery I passed out from stress. So not only was he in a hospital bed, but so was I?

Yeah NOT MY FAULT!! I am so pissed from last week it is not even funny, I just wish June 4 would get here soon and May 7 even sooner as I can't take much more.

If any of you may think you are contributing, you probably are. I'm doing the best I can. If anyone wants to try my life for a week, be my guest, but its not fun working 2 jobs, planning a wedding, having a teacher hate me, and doing homework somewhere in the middle.

I'm trying to put on a happy face, but some days I just can't. I just wish things would settle down.

Sorry for the long rant

i need more friends....

its been a while

2005-02-21T00:29:11Z

SO I thought I would do a quick update since its been a while. Things are going fairly well, I feel like all I do is work, but other than that things are going well. Wedding stuff is getting very hectic since the wedding is just over 3 months away. AHH!! If any of you are reading this and you are in the wedding party, please contact me ASAP for hotel information since all of the hotels in the greater FW area are booked so I have some blocked. Part of me wants the wedding to get here, but the rest of me wants to take things one day at a time and just get a job and get through school and work first.

I hope things are going good for everyone else. I feel pretty out of the loop like I haven't seen anyone in forever. We should set up at MASSIVE date night with the legal studies crew and their better half's since I believe we all have them now. Should I plan? Does anyone care?

I absolutley love working for the Prosecutor on most days. Some days are really boring, but the exciting days make up for the boring ones. Working for my landlord is pretty sweet since I make good money and I work a good amount of hours but not insane with my other job. Nonetheless I can't wait for May and graduation. 10 weeks left!!!

UGH!!

2005-01-28T17:26:19Z

Ok so i'm sitting in a really boring english class in the Library Computer lab!! UGH!! I'm so totally not paying any attention to what is going on since this is my 4th time in 3 years of doing this.

Anyway......so tonight is the Rascal Flatts concert! YAY!! I have to go get tickets after this calss and hopefully they will be good seats!

Not much else is up my way.......wedding planning is still frustrating and on going alhtouhg i'm glad the bridesmaids dresses got ordered. that is a HUGE load of my back!!

I want to start enjoying my senior year, I never go out, and I feel like its always just David and I and we never get invited to do anything. I partied more before I Was 21 than I have since I've been 21. LOL wierd!

so bored..........

senioritis

2005-01-22T03:21:11Z

AHH! I've decided that after two weeks of classes, this semester is REALLY going to suck! I have two classes that are just awful, and a third that is awful now, but everyone tells me its getting better.

So last night was my first in the water swimming class.........WHAT A JOKE!! I learned how to blow bubbles, actually I didn't pay any attention, but he was teaching how to blow bubbles among other things. I was under the impression I could simply swim laps, but I guess not........

So for every class I don't like, my internship is absolutley kick ass!! I think its so cool that I get to work in the prosecutor's office and be right in the mix of everything!! I get to sit at the table with the prosecutor and do what they need me to do. Everyone in the office is really nice, there is one prosecutor who isn't too friendly, but the other one is so sweet. She is really cool and lets me help out as much as possible. I really like sitting in court and experiencing everything first hand.

I don't think I've said it enough, but I'm so ready for the wedding to get here!! The planning is getting on my nerves and is just plain frustrating!! The BM dresses are finally taken care of, but I'm still waiting to see a final proof of my invitations, and then I have to send those out, pick a menu, have final meetings with everyone, and in the midst graduate.

Ok I think that is enough for one night........David is watching a movie and I'm really not paying any attention.......Oops :-)

first week of classes......

2005-01-14T02:06:17Z

Ok so I'm back for my final semester here at ISU.......WOW!! I never thought it would come! My schedule this semester is going to suck, but oh well. I am working for my landlord before classes on MWF then from 1-5:30 after classes. On T/Th I am interning at the Prosecutor's office from 8-4. THAT IS SO COOL! I started on Tuesday and it was awesome! Its so cool to sit at the Prosecutor's table while the court proceedings are going on, right next to the deputy prosecutor. I really like the courtroom experience, and its very cool to be rigth there in the action. It is a bit freaky since I Have the people who are in jail sitting like one foot from the back of my neck, but other than that its fun.

Classes shouldn't be too bad this semester. My Philosophy class should be interesting since its hard to understand the teacher and he goes really fast when he presents the material. I feel really old in the class since its 105 and my group is all sophmores and freshman. WOW! I'm showing my age.....LOL Soon I will be an old married woman and then it all goes downhill from there!

Speaking of the wedding, its getting closer and closer. Invitations were ordered which was a huge relief, and I will finally breathe again when the bridesmaids dresses are ordered next weekend. I'm kinda aggravated about having to replace wedding party members who haven't had the courtesy to personally tell me they couldnt be in the wedding yet they can leave it on their IM away message but anyway...........Anyone wanna be an usher?? LOL

Ok back to watching TV (or TB as my sister says)..............I wish I had more friends to go out with at night and on the weekends so I could actually live up this last semester.........

christmas break

2005-01-04T02:35:53Z

Ah another christmas break has come and is now almost past..........

Mexico was great!! Aside from me getting sick one night from the food and David the next, the weather was warm and it was all around a fun time!! We spent most of the time around the pool and since the resort was all inclusive, we all drank a TON of alcohol, but it was fun :-) On Friday David went scuba diving and my dad and I went into town. He had a great time which is cool, my dad and I didnt really spend any money except to buy a real coke (they only had pepsi at the resort) and I had to pay to use the bathroom. It was interesting!! On Christmas, which considering it was 80 degrees with no snow and didn't feel like Christmas day, I went parasailing. My mom and aunt and two of my cousins also went. It was pretty cool although a bit nervewracking!! The food at the place was kinda sucky, we ate mostly at a buffet which didn't even have normal desserts, since you had ot make reservations to eat at the other restaurants. It was a stupid rule and not one of my favorite vacations for that aspect.

So now we are back in Indiana..........and its not even that cold :-) perfect!! I have been doing nothing but wedding stuff for the past 5 days and its very stressful. I just wish the wedding would get here so I could get on with my life! David and I are still trying to choose a city to live in, I would love to live in Atlanta, however there are jobs in Texas with the oil industry so who knows??? It would be nice to pick a city though....

Well its bed time around here since I'm still recovering from lack of sleep over the past two weeks. So much for rest..........I guess that is what happens when I have a 6yr old sister! More wedding stuff tomorrow..........

oh my gosh.....

2004-12-17T03:22:38Z

Oh my goodness.......as I sit here watching the apprentice, I can't help but come to a realization that I only have ONE semester left of college. Something is VERY scary about that. I remember being in high school and being sure that I was going to swim all four years of college at UE and everything was going to be great. I remember getting to UE, hating swimming, going greek, having that bite me in the butt, and having a crappy year..........Wow has alot changed!

When I got to ISU I was already thinking I wanted to transfer to Purdue. I made myself get involved out side of the greek system and made some of the best friends of my life (Lindsey, Pam, David....) Sophomore year went so quickly, then junior year...........Junior year was crazy. I fell in love, got engaged, then secured the greatest internship of my life for senior year. I also became alot closer to my friends and was more thankful for them than ever before.......

So now we get to senior year and once again I'm speechless...I just returned from the greatest experience of my life in DC, although it was the hardest at times....I wouldn't trade those 16 weeks for anything and I want a job out there SO bad!! Now I'm back and looking forward to my final semester. I'm living with the love of my life and I want to have the time of my life. While things are a bit stressful with the wedding, I want the next four months to be amazing!! Going out regularly anyone?? Road trips???

I love all of you and I don't know what I would do without you. I wish you all the best in your final semester and I wish you all the same happiness I have right now.

stupid wedding stuff.......

2004-12-13T04:40:33Z

So its 11:30 and I'm exhausted, however I can't sleep because I keep thinking about wedding stuff!! Mostly the guest list and that is painful enough. I am trying to compile one master list of names and addresses so that I can order invitations and start to get a rough estimate of the numbers. IT JUST KEEPS GROWING!!! here is the worst part, I just sent the list to David's mom, and I know its going to grow!! Now I realize about half of the invited people won't come, but I still have to pay for invitations!!

Ok, wedding stress aside, I;m really excited for it! The wedding is only 5 months and 22 days away! I can't believe it....First I would just like to get this semester done.....no wait, first I would like Linda to email me back and tell me what she wants me to do for PSCI 211 so I can get rid of my incomplete! but no.......that would be too easy!!

This past weekend was actually pretty cool. We went to Lafayette to celebrate christmas with David's family and we had a good time. David and I made sure to make plans which helped, so we weren't sitting around at night like we usually do. We went bowling on Sat night and had a blast!

Ok bed time......maybe.......who wants to apartment sit for me? I pay well!!

long time no update

2004-12-08T16:09:24Z

So as David is still sleeping, I thought I would do one of my rare updates. Not much is going on here in the Haute, I am enjoying not going to class perse, but I have enough work to keep me busy for a while. Its been great to be back and see my friends, but I am ready for next semester when I actually have stuff to do all the time with school and internship so I Can keep myself busy...

So last night David and I went and looked at wedding bands and the lady at the store kindly reminded me that my wedding is just around the corner.....AHHHHH I feel like there is SO Much to do still........Bridesmaid dresses, wedding favors, INVITATIONS!!! Its never ending.........

I can't wait until break, will anyone be in the Haute???

return to Terre Haute

2004-12-01T15:27:09Z

Hey! So Long time no update! I am back in Terre haute and I never thought I would be so happy. While I do miss Washington DC and the office, I really missed David and my friends so it is good to be home!! Unfortunately I still have a TON of work to do! I have a 15pg paper for Dr Chambers due in 3 weeks on Sudan that is 50% of my grade. (I'm still hoping I can pull an A after a lackluster set of papers coming from DC.) I also am hoping to meet with Linda one of these days to go to over what she wants in my culmination paper, otherwise she is going to get 10 pages summarizing what it meant to be in DC and work on the Hill. Which might not be a bad idea...........anyway, so it looks like I shuld have another internship here in TH next semester which would be really cool. I can't get much credit for it, but I really don't care about the credit, I just want to do the internship.

I am SO excited to go to Mexico.........twenty more days!!!! Ok breakfast time so I can go to campus and start working on these papers.

homecoming

2004-11-08T03:42:30Z

So I'm back from a rather fun weekend. I got in on Friday and David and I went to Charlies and did some other errands. That was a good time, man I love their hamburgers and $5.25 pitchers......so much better than $10 ones out here!!

I met Pam's Will this weekend. He is a pretty cool kid, they are cute together and I really hope it works out for them!!

On Saturday we did the walk sort of. We did the whole walk, but we only stopped at 4 bars since they were so crowded. The walk back was really long and painful, but we made it. Once we got home we took a nap and then later on went to Simrell's for more drinking.

Today David's parents came and brought us dressers and food, which was a nice suprise :-) We went to Charlie's for lunch again so they could have a Tweety burger, and it was quite good :-)

Overall I had a great weekend with some great friends!! I love you all!!! I can't wait to come home in two weeks, and I think someone should start a countdown!!
