so last night was pretty awesome. First off Jordan was feeling really well yesterday, no sickness, plenty of energy, all that, so that was good. We both worked full days at the center but she got off at 5 and went home. When I got home she met me at the door with my favorite backwoods smoke cigars and told me to go outside and relax for a bit. So I sat on the front porch and smoked a few and just thought for a while. Then Jordan called me inside and she had made one of my favorite meals, pulled pork with rice and bread and we went up to our room where we have our dinner table from our old apartment set up and ate a candlelit dinner with music playing. It was really relaxing and fun to be able to do that again. Anyway after the meal we went and played the game rummikub, which is one of my fav games. We played that for about an hour and then she took me into the living room and she had rented three gamecube multiplayer games from hollywood. So we played monkeyball and mario party 7 for an hour and a half or so. Then it was about 11 and she was pretty beat so we decided to go to bed. Anyway it was a very fun night, and it made me excited to have our own apartment again. So only 2 more days until we come home and we are both getting very excited to say the least.
Seeya all in a few days!!

new week
so Its tuesday and I am sitting in class, already wishing it was friday afternoon. I havent updated in a bit, so im just gonna start at the beginning of my weekend. On friday night jordan and I went to Sandy Cove to have a games night with Matt, Katie, Nate and Evey (nate was my boss at SC over the summer). Anyway it was alot of fun. We ate chinese food and played a board game I had never played before called quelf. For those of you who havent played it, let me tell you it is quite amazing, probably one of the funniest games ive ever played. So we did that for a few hours and then went back to Katie and Matts place for some chill out time. Katie went to bed and matt and jordan and I stayed up for another hour or so talking.
We stayed the night and the next morning we woke up and katie had made us pancakes and then we had to book it home for Daisy's vet appointment. Daisy now weighs 37 lbs (she only weighed 12 when we got her) so she is considerably bigger. She is alot calmer now as well and is learning things like to go to her cage at night when shes tired and to scratch the back door to be let out. So thats always nice. Anyway the rest of the day on Saturday we just hung out, nothing much exciting. Then that night I went to a bonfire with some friends and hung out there for a bit. Jordan wasn't feeling too hot so she stayed home and went to bed early.
The next day we went to church and then out to eat with friends from church at a place called DuClaw, it was alright, nothing amazing though. After lunch the girls went shopping and i went home and watched the bears game. Then after Jordan got back we decided to eat dinner and watch a movie as Julie was still shopping. So I went to the store and get some stuff for dinner and we ended up watching Meet The Robinsons, which is a pretty hilarious movie, I gotta say.
On Monday we had a field trip to the Aquarium with our kids from the center. All the kids had to have a parent with them so we didnt really have to watch anyone, we took Caroline as her mom couldnt get off work and it was a pretty fun day. We walked around for a few hrs and saw the dolphin show and such. Then ont he way home we stopped at friendlys and got some french fries and ice cream. Then when we got home I decided I wanted to put on some christmas music and do a puzzle, so thats what we ended up doing for the next couple hrs. Then we ate dinner and then we watched a movie and then jordan put the plugs in my ears (size 2, final ones) and I was pretty stoked about that.
Jordan is doing really well lately, usually sick like one day a week, and not nearly as bad as she was before. Had a doctors appointment and listened to the heartbeat and that was pretty awesome. It was a fast heartbeat, so the doctor said that meant it was maybe gonna be a girl and I told her that in the Lyons family, the guys all have ADHD so a fast heartbeat meant nothing.
Anyway shes starting to thicken out on the sides of her belly which again is another sign that it is a girl. Julie said when your pregnant with a girl your belly and sides all get bigger and you can tell from the back. However when your pregnant with a boy only your front gets bigger, not your sides and its hard to tell from the back. So thinking maybe gonna have a girl, but who knows.
Her appointment for when we find out the sex of the baby is December 11th.
So we head home in 4 days for thanksgiving and we are getting increasingly excited. It will be so nice to see my family and friends and get to be at my house for a few days.
Anywho i Have 2 tests this week and a paper I need to get started on thats due a week after break. So i need to get crack-a-lackin with all that crap.
have a good day guys, love ya all

TGIS
Soo the last few days have been some of the longest ive had in a while. the public schools around here all had school off thursday and friday and so we had a ton more kids at the center then we usually do. On Friday I had the afterschool kids from 7:30 in the morning til 5 at night!! It was a long day, we played war and chess and skip bo and actual war on the playground and all that good stuff. Dont get me wrong it was fun but just a long and tiring day. That brings me to my next point actually and Im adding a chess board to my christmas list. I want a wooden one with wooden pieces, not glass or plastic. It doesnt have to be anything fancy, but i played it a ton yesterday and got the bug.
Last night was my last time bowling. haha ya i know, your wondering how thats possible but I decided last night it wasnt something I wanted to do. The team I was on was made up of three of the quietest people ive ever met. Seriously when I was there for a two hour match, I would sit there and we wouldnt talk at all! Not a little bit or seldomly, NEVER! I would try and get them talking and they would just give me a one word answer and then be quiet again. So all in all it was ridiculously boring. Throw in the fact that I suck at Bowling and it made for a pretty cruddy night. So I decided I didnt want to spend 12 dollars a week to be ticked off you know? So I told them I was done, offered to give the ball back (they said no, keep it, maybe youll join again!) and left. I was stoked I got to keep the ball though, since it is pretty sweet. So anyway now on friday nights I think im gonna go to Sandy cove and hang with Katie and Matt hopefully.
Today were going to seusical the musical at 3 and then heading up to SC right after to watch some office and play ping pong and all that.
Tomorrow after church Im going to barnes and Nobles for a poetry reading by a few of the women in my American Woman Writers class, itll be fun plus il get extra credit so thats awesome! Then il probably just hang the rest of the day and relax.
This week in school I have a meeting with my AWW teacher to discuss my thesis paper ideas. Then I am giving my Informative speech in my speech class on camping which will be nice to be done with that.
Im so stoked about coming home for thanksgiving, im so excited to see my friends and family. It should be a great week. Also my buddy Ben Coston will be in Illinois with his girlfriend and he will be coming to our house that friday for a bonfire and I havent seen him in 2 years so thatll be alot of fun. Not to mention that we will have thanksgiving with my family which is always fun and also we are getting are christmas tree the day after which is a tradition I have yet to miss. So anyway ya Im a little stoked. Also I plan to eat at all my fav illinois restaurants including Mancinos, Cheezers, Green Gables, Avantis and hopefully even maybe Godfathers! Ahhh cant wait.

halloween
so last night/yesterday was a lot of fun. We worked til 6 and then ran home and changed for trunk or treating at the church. Jordan got me a nacho libre outfit at a Halloween store and at first ti sucked (it was like a full body suit with a blue chest with fake muscles but nacho libre didnt have a chest covering, he didnt even have a shirt period) so after a few modifications of my own i was bare chested and ready to go. We went to the trunk or treating, which was fun, and then to a young adult Halloween party. Everyone got a kick out of my costume because, well, it was hilarious. Il post pictures when I get them. Anyway we had alot of fun there, got to catch up with some friends we havent seen in a while due to a busy schedule. Good times.
This weekend we are going to sandy cove to have a cookout/hangout time with our friends matt and katie so that will definetly be fun. We are also going to go see Seusical the Musical at a nearby highschool so thatll be a good time.
Jordan and I have been thinking about what the future holds for us. Whether we both finish school now or I finish school and she works or what. Theres a ridiculous amount of factors to think about and frankly its overcrowding our brains when really we should just be focusing on God and let him make the decision. So ya pray for us that we are faithful in our prayers and that God will show us his plans.

infected ears
so ya i had to take my ear spacers out today cause they were infected. But hopefully with antibiotics and regular cleaning theyll be back to normal in a few days and i can resume the tormenting of them.
Im at the library right now checking all my stuff and im pretty much in an amazing mood. I just got a paper and a test back in my psych class last night and I got an A on one of them and a 88 on the other so i was stoked about that. Ive already worked 24 hrs this week and I still have 2 days left. We bought our plane tickets for christmas yesterday so we will be home the 20-26 of december.
Update on my little buddy dominic, the tumor was cancerous and growing at an alarming rate and so they opted for emergency surgery to remove it. they got out as much fo it as they could but they dont know its a level 2,3 or 4 so they dont know if he needs radiation or chemo or both but theyll find out in a few days. The mom is obviously broken up over it, her name is Nicole and Dominic is only 5 so keep them in your prayers for sure.
Anywho my buddies up at Sandy cove are going to be setting up a weekly guys night to hang and stuff so im stoked about that, still not a wlot of guys around here for me to hang with.
Other than that things are pretty much the same. This weekend Jordan and I are going to go to Traget and do our baby registry I think. Pray for me, haha

Weekend Update
So its been a few days since I last updated and not a lot has happened. For those of you who dont know, I got my first tattoos this last week and there pretty awesome. I got "Man of God" on one wrist and "Integrity on the other- both in hebrew. I like them alot and am contemplating getting anther, maybe the lions family crest or a lion eating an antelope or something.
Last week was a long one, lots of school and worked a ton, but managed to survive. On friday night at Bowling league I bought the cheapest bag and the cheapest shoes they had at the pro shop and let me tell you, there pretty awesome. The bag is blue and red and says "Action Hero" on it, im pretty sure its for little kids but it works fine for me. I bowled terribly, got a 102,140,105. The middle game was good but the other two were terrible. After bowling Jordan and I went home and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp, Man I love that movie!
On Saturday we didnt have anything to do so we just chilled at the house all day. Its been raining a ton here so I took Daisy out on her first walk all the way around our block and she was spalshing in the puddles and all, having a good time. That afternoon/night we watched Caroline, our niece and here and jordan made cookies and jello and played with American Dolls and then we ordered pizza for dinner. After that jordan and I went to Macys because we still had a 30 dollar gift card to there from our wedding. I got a sweater thing and a short sleeve shirt and 2 pairs of jeans. The jeans were originally 43 dollars and I got them for 3.99 a piece!! And they were Levi Strauss Jeans!! How awesome is that? I was pretty stoked cause i never get good deals like that.
On sunday we went to church and then came home and took the dogs out before heading to lunch at Ruby tuesdays. Then we went shopping and came home and chilled for the rest of the evening.
This week Im supposed to work at 7:30 4 of the 5 mornings because a girl who works here was supposed to be going to the bahamas but I guess now shes not going so I only had to work that early today, which is nice.
In the next few weeks of classes I have a speech, a 5 page paper and 3 tests so i need to get cracking on all of that.
This weekend I think we are going to go hang out with my buddy Matt and his wife at sandy cove for a while.
Baby Update
Jordan is doing really well, shes feeling better and better everyday, sometimes not getting sick at all which is always nice. We decided once and for all on the name of the baby
If its a girl- Charley Elizabeth Lyons
If its a boy- McCarthy Isaiah Lyons
We both really liked those names and neither of them are very common so we were excited about that.
Anyway I think thats about it, oh wait no. My buddy from Olivet, TyTy is getting married at the beginning of May, right after graduation and me made me his best man so assuming we dont have a late pregnancy and that Jordan is in good health i wil be flying home for 3 days for that and graduation. So thatll be a lot of fun.
Ok now here are some pics, a few of jordans belly, one of the dog and a few of my tattoos.
This is McCarthy
This is McCarthy from the front
This one means Integrity
This one means Man of God, its not completely healed yet
This is Daisy, shes getting huge
