You don`t even know what I`d give for this right now!!!
It´s thanksgiving day and there is NOTHING around that reminds me of the delicious goodness of thanksgiving! not to mention not having family around is a bit disappointing also!!! shoot. All I want for Christmas is..........shoot, it´s not even christmas, its thanksgiving. damn.
oh well. I hope you are having a GREAT thanksgiving. One good thing happening right now is that I´m learning how to cook a bunch of goodies to prepare for when I actually can make huge batches of cookies for christmas! so lady, next year, lets get together and buy so much damn good cookie stuff and make the most amazing cookies ever and give them to family and friends. shoot. i´m clearly already preparing. It´s a bit difficult to be traveling during the holiday season. I realize kip doesn´t like holidays so its no skin off his back, but shoot, holidays are such a wonderful time to smile, eat, laugh, play. Its totally different than every day life, and its totally different than travel too. It was sad to be away when in Korea, but we always made our friends go through the holidays with us¨:) ha. but now, its just the two of us, and on our thanksgiving we went to a museum, at grilled chicken, and called our folks. but I WANT DAMN PIE AND LAUGHTER! ha.
what a sour puss I am. always wanting what I can´t have. That is one problem I am dealing with right now. Enjoying THIS life. I know you sometimes say that looking at my pictures makes you feel lost in life, but honestly, those pictures are a smmmallll percentage of what happens, the rest is not as exciting. Actually this is something I´d really like to talk to you on the phone about because you understand me and I think you would have good insight what I´m thinking and such. I called you about 20 minutes ago, but you are in IL, and you called back but I was chatting with my mum. so I hope you call back! if not, i´m going to hunt you down because i´ve been away from the computer tooo long, and i need to josie smack talk and good ears to listen to me! ha. I miss you Jos. Will you make Christmas cookies with me next year. oh, ps. kip asked jerry how easily one can find a teaching job in november....and he said impossible. gulp. what do i do???

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

from one bisquit to the other!!!!

you are so... wickeddddddddddd

well, WICKEd was great.. i think officiall it is the best on stage set that i have ever seen.. i really,, really like it, so i am glad steph convinced me long ago to "sometime in november' have a little fun. We went to the ordway.. so of course there is crystal chandeliers everwhere.. and we had a guy in front of us who was definately too excited to see "Little mermaid on stage" and steph and i burst out laughing ;)
maybe you had to be there..
otherwise.. the storyline was very interesting, and i really enjoyed myself! I was glad to be away from the apartment doing something girly and fun.. other than my doses of Felicity by DVD..
so.. summed up: a grand time.. will go to see it again sometime if you like? lets make it a Wicked date ;0 wink

jos

happy friday!

happy friday to you.. it would be even happier if we had these sweet little red shoes.. i watched the wizard of OZ yesterday in preparation of going to Wicked.. (*this is only the 2nd tim ei have seen it..) and i wished that i had a pair of ruby slippers..

there is NO place like home ;)
*which is why i am going to Duluth tonight , ha..
spending the weekend at Hollys place.. on an air matress with J.
hope Orca holds her own alone at the apartment! ;)

isnt this fabulous?

check it out.. Gil would be glad you did

should have been more video ;(

shoot i uploaded a big video of my morning, but it didnt post.. there were errors, so all you get is the second part in the parking lot.. sorry? dont know what happened.. oh well

my morning.. .

ok so i also look, ISH... but, really.. how can you not look ish when your snoggen is right in the camera.. it looks like we both are gun shy about recording in front of people.. i had peeps on my roof that came down and were looking at me :) HA.. oh well .. i tried..

little orca... the transformer

dont be fooled by her quiet demeanor.. after 6 pm she morphes into a WILD CAT!!!! see below...

and then she is quiet and sweet again... .. so like a cat ;) wink wink

*if she was bigger she would probably eat us ;) HA

Eww. 1. Gross Noelle. You look bad. 2. Its so hard taking video when people are ALWAYS around. gesh. I can´t just talk to a camera when everyone is around or listening in the background. I´ve got to get use to it and less shy I suppose.

I´ll do better next time. and maybe I´ll brush my hair too......

You crazy. Don´t you already have a picture of you and jonathan on rail road tracks. YOU TOTALLY DO. i swear. you check. and if not. oh fall would be the perfect time. or a cute snowing picture!!! and THE KNOT....whooo hoooo hoooo. Now you must believe people when they say you had a GORGEOUS fall wedding. Oprah! stop looking at Obama and look at the new Mrs. Kuriscak. find her a cool job! shoot. some day I really should put my plans where my mouth is....even though you´d kill me, but still. Even though I dont´like her, if she found you the coolest job ever, well, then I´d have to like her! shoot. Hey. random. but would you honestly ever want to go into interior design? my mom ran into an old daycare person of mine and apparently she decided to do something new, went to school for design, and now is working the international market square. apparently loves it. now.....sure, she may be at the beck and call of someone else (did someone say bend it like beckham..ahem. i mean), who knows really, but would you ever enjoy doing something like that. night classes perhaps. just an idea. because clearly you know what you´re doing whether you say it or not. and just add a few credentials and i honestly think you would be amazing. so wouldn´t that be nice if amy got credit for the beautiful pictures, and you get credit for being creative! ps. how did the old people christmas shopping go?? find any goodies?!

railroad love

oooh i like:ill need to stage one with j some day..

her blog is cool as well:

hey.. quick note

this is a picture from our illinois wedding reception.. thankfully Sheila had taken some of our stuff from the wedding and reused it.. so if you notice.. there are a heck of a lot of cheeseballs.. we will have cheeseballs for weeks to come! ;) HA..

also QUICK NOTE: amy told us last night that she is going to submit some specific pitures to "the knot.com".. so we shall see if J and I's pictures get picked.. i have no idea which ones she picked though, so its a toss up... it could be anything.. !!!!

and... our pumpkins are still going strong weeks after the fact.. Jonathans mom kep them in a refrigerator for the whole month of september so that she could use them for the wedding reception in illinois.. and somehow ... they just keep going..

Don´t give up on my yet.....just look at my lips. Irresistable......RARRRRRR.

VOTING morning:

so look at this amazing fog from yesterday morning.. we got to the polls early because we couldnt do it after work.. and it was soooo beautiful.. by the time i ran down the hill to try to take the picture while jonathan was standing in line.. the sun rose.. DANG! maybe ill have to go back their later early early.. so i essentially cut the jogger off.. cause i didnt even see him when i took the pic..

jonathan seems to be a cat friendly man.. he has grown up with them.. so that makes sense..

i like to see him snugglypoo every here and there with the kit-cat.. on the couch usually.. he more often plays with her than cuddles.. the difference between a guy and girl, right?

ill try to keep updating the blog, though i get sick of just seeing my posts ;) boring boring..

so keep up, even if it just your words! ;)

jos

PS: anne of gables box set came in the mail..

and i am still torn on Felicity.. i am on season two, and ben seems enticing, but .. i just cant give up on NOls.. ;) hahah its the bushy eyebrows i guess

and now there are 3! shoot. first comes marriage, then comes kittys (5 months still counts), then comes the nip. oh no! nex time i check this blog you´ll be following chads footsteps and popping out twins. just kidding. YEAH ORCA welcome to the familia!
how does she fit into the family' is she scared of the apartment or does she fit right in??? hows the leather couch?! i´m so excited to meet her and cuddle! is jonathan a cat person or dog person? or both. being marrieed to a man who doesn´t understand why people own cats makes it more difficult to imagine a man snuggly snuggly with one. ha.
i´m soooooo glad you´ve been updating this dang thing. sadly i keep wanting to put up video, but i haven´t found a connection rate strong enough to handle it! it took me an hour just to upload 7 pictures on facebook!!! i mean really. thats why there´s barely nothing there! gesh. i´ll get on it though i swear!
wait did i ever tell you that we got a new small digital camera! kips old onee from india broke and he had a 4 year warrenty, so the day before we came to colombia we went to best buy, gave them a nice smile and they let us swap it for a new one!!! so they said, go gt anything that´s at least 170 bucks. whooooo. SO we got a new oneee that can take video and i was so happy since our big nikon manual can´t do that! so yes. VIDEOOOOO to you soooN. and i´ll put up a pic or two at the same time so you can see my old mug, or a colombian old mug or something.

meet ORCA!!!!!

well it is official. we have a new baby Kuriscak.. meet Orca, the new addition. *jonathan named her after a killer whale cause she is black and white..

i am crossing my fingers today that she doesnt rip up our couch.. AHHHHH.. i hope she doesnt.. joanthan will go check on her at lunch.. we shall seeeeeeeeee..

we decided to get an older 'cat' cause we thought that she wouldnt get adopted otherwise.. so she is 5 months.. but full grown.. and reallllllly soft! ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! from the Kuriscaks
