I've been coaxed to begin reading vampire novels... The Sookie Stackhouse "true blood" novels. I find them both to be very amusing and catchy. So I bought the box set and will still have to buy the others when I get to that point. Jared still reads his many books all the time due to working at a book store.
As the weather has been getting warmer Somkey has met some new friends "fireflys". Now picture our 115 lb dog looking at this bug as it coasts in front of his face... Then it lights up and Smokes jumps back like he got bitten by a tiger! We are still in need of getting him a doggie park pass.
A few weeks ago I took a week off of work to regain some sanity... Well that was fun. Jared and I spent some much need time with friends. We explored Indianapolis and went paddle boating and to Mortys comedy club.
Within this time jared and I have gotten hooked into the "crackberry" scene! We love the blackberry storms, but at times wed still like the I Phone!
Well seeing it is the fourth of July weekend we had a few things planned. Jared, Connie, Connies friend Ellen, and myself went to the Casting Crowns concert at Garfield Park in Indy. We had a great picnic dinner and enjoyed the show. One thing I least expected was the "pro-life" campaigns... Now I am personally pro-life, but I'm not an activist or world ever care to be. But when attending these venues I assume that's what you get. Today jared and I decided to check out some deals at some of the gyms in town. Well we joined LAfitness and it seems to have a lot of advantages. Now recently I have been told I have mild Osteopenia (joining the club!). I am also seeing a chiropractor a few times a week to help manage my pain. Well see how long I last! Jared is very excited!
At this point that's all she wrote!

Biography

So here we are. This will be our biography... where we are, where we want to be, and how we plan to get there!

It really all began in August of 2004 when Lorel moved to Muncie to attend Ball State. Lorel joined the fencing team and met up with Jared. Sooner rather than later they began dating, then engaged, then married. On September 2, 2007 Jared and Lorel tied the knot in NJ. They traveled long and far and had the best time of our lives! Jared and Lorel decided to buy a house in Indianapolis just on a lark. They fell in love with the deal and found a place they could renovate themselves! At this point they still had no jobs in Indy, but spent their weekends fixing up their home. Lorel graduated from Ball State in May 2008 with a degree in Family and Consumer Sciences: Family and Child / minor: social work.

On September 22, 2008 Lorel took a position in downtown Indy as a Case Manager for adolescence aging out of the welfare system. In late November early December, Jared took a position at a book store in Indy (thank goodness no more commuting!) He really enjoys his job mainly because it gives him a lot of time to read things he may never of found otherwise! Since they have been in Indy they have been attending a non-denominational Christian Church. ( www.east91st.org ).

As many people know, Jared and Lorel enjoy investing in real estate, being land lords, and flipping properties. As stated above they bought a house in Indianapolis on a lark and

thankfully both got jobs near by! They did drywall, flooring, tiling, painting, fixtures, and basic homey changes.

Jared and Lorel have invested with Lorel's parents on a rental in Muncie. They all plan to create an LLC and expand their business with the help from Jared's mom!

So this is us for now. We will update with our new adventures as time goes on!

We're giving this a try!

Stealing this idea from Claire-epoo Jared and I decided to make  blog to keep all of our family and friends informed of what we are doing in our lives.

Please share this with others who want to read and see some photos of our adventures traveling through life!
