    All of the pics of my civic are done in front of the ridges. Creepy place!

  2. We are not really beach people. That's why we decided on PA. We like to hike and do stuff outside. We absolutly could have gone to an all inclusive place in Mexico for what we were going to pay at the dump. We are already planning our one year to a NICE place, haha! UGGGGG! Oh well, we get to spend time together and that's what is important!
  3. As many of you know, Sean and I got married this past weekend. (Yup, I'm now Mrs. Butt!!) After the craziness that is wedding planning and the busy day we were excited to head out to the Pocono Mountains the next day on our honeymoon. After an 8.5 hour drive through rain and the crappy drivers of PA we made it to Cove Haven Resort a little past 8 in the evening. Keep in mind we were paying $385 a NIGHT for this place. It was supposed to be all inclusive to include breakfast and dinner. Which we found out on Sunday when we checked in was only from 6p-8p so we had to eat the crappy food from the cafe.

     

    Upon arrival of course we were both super tired and just wanted to get into our room for the night. The welcome center was lovely and gave a warm welcome and congratulated us on our marriage. We set off to see our room and ended up down a service road with a dead end (they gave us wonderful directions). After backing up the service road in the dark and on the side of a hill we went back up the hill and found our room. It was in a row of motel like rooms with water pouring off the roof onto the sidewalk. We couldn’t tell at night but the paint was peeling off of the buildings and none of them had windows overlooking anything. So, once we find our room number we open the door to find...

     

    Stated as facts:

     

    1. No lights on in the room

    2. Entered time machine back to 1974

    3. Room smelled like smoke (was supposed to be non-smoking)

    4. Tube TV with VHS!

    5. Couch with stains EVERYWHERE!

    6. Cigarette burns on the bed (It also had mirrored walls that where peeling at the bottom)

    7. Wall paper coming off of the walls in the bathroom

    8. Toilet with no back (Rest stop foot flusher)

    9. Pool with cover on and one light working in the room

    10. Sean went to turn on a lamp and stuck his hand in a cobweb

    11. Dust EVERYWHERE!!!!!

    12. Window AC unit that was loud as heck

    13. Roof on one of the cabins was totally collapsed in on itself!

     

    Needless to say we headed right back down to the front desk to say that we were leaving in the AM. Front desk guy went to immediate defense and then offered us a Champagne tower room for our trouble. We declined and told him that after a long ass drive their first chance was the last.

     

    In the morning after we packed up and Sean attempted to use $400 worth of hot water we proceeded down to get breakfast. We couldn’t find the place to eat and no one was around for us to even ask so we hiked back up to finish loading the car. We checked out and headed to Hershey, Pa. Which later turned out to be no as expected for now we are home!

    So, we will NEVER go back to that place. We drove a total of 17 hours in two days and are now back in Ohio! THanks Cove Haven for a awesome car ride!

  4. I did a few mock interviews in college and they really helped me in the real thing. First off, always make eye contact. It shows that you are confident and not caught off guard. I would defiantly go over done answers to the normal "why are you interested in this position", " what are your career goals" type of questions. A big question that can stump people is the "what are your weaknesses". Don't be afraid to be honest, they want to know that you can make a mistake and recover/learn from it. They aren't looking for you to say that you have no weaknesses, of course everyone does.
  5. Last time I did it, it was $4 (2 months ago). Have you gotten rid of the old car though? You can't do it if you still have the car the plates are registered to.

     

    That is what I read as well, but have managed to transfer tags from cars I still have to a new car since I knew I was never going to drive the old car before selling it.

  6. I remember thinking that we were watching something from a movie then it hit me that it was real. I still can't watch footage without it bring on an anxiety attack. I slept on my parents floor for at least a month because I didn't want to be away from my family. I will never forget that day. Thank you to all who serve this country.
