negative three degrees

It's been a little while since I've updated, so here we go... Tim has decided to stay on the road for another month and finish all of his hours without taking a break. He figured he could really use the bonus and it would be really hard on him to come home for a week and then have to head back out to do something he doesn't really enjoy. He has completed 125 hours in 22 days and needs 275 hours total. It will definitely be at least another month before I see him again. Oh well, that's life. He still has time to change his mind, we'll see what happens!

Last weekend was my first weekend in 2008 that I wasn't sick and I made the most of it!! Friday night Brandi, Beth and I hit up Hacienda [I had been craving it for weeks!]. We were there almost 4 hours chatting up a storm!! Beth and I went to Ikea on Saturday and surprisingly we didn't spend a lot of money. She just moved into a new apartment [our excuse for going] that I love! It's really close to a complex Tim and I are looking into. Which by the way, we still haven't made up our minds yet about where we want to live. Fun times.

Sunday I did my weekly routine, GMC at 10:00 and GCC at 12:00. I met Mark & Lauren there and we went out to lunch with Parker. It was random and kind of sad since it was Tims birthday and we were hanging out while he was in North Carolina. We'll celebrate his birthday whenever he gets back :)

This weekend he's in Arkansas. Road trip??

Well that's it for now... life is pretty slow right now. Tonight I'm heading out to see 27 dresses, I can't wait!

LOVE!!

A true friend is one who knows you as you really are, understands where you've been, accepts who you've become, and still gently invites you to grow.

Fajitas Pita Blues

You've probably heard the news. Bakers Square has closed. Tear. Where will I find another fajitas pita?? Where will Ann and I go for our Pie Shop Special??

"Grape Road also lost one of its longtime staples this week. Bakers Square served its final slice of pie Tuesday night at 5758 Grape Road, near the northeast corner of Grape and Indian Ridge Boulevard."

"Another restaurant is likely. Hmm... who would make a nice fit inside the 5,122-square-foot building? White Castle is probably out because it generally only needs about 3,000 square feet, but Red Robin and Ruby Tuesday both locate in 5,000- to 6,000-square-foot buildings. Lots of readers have indicated they'd like one here." -south bend tribune

RUBY TUESDAY!! God doesn't take anything away unless he means to give something better!!

P.S. What happened to Garfield's and Le Peep??

Hitchhiker

Tim is professionally hitchhiking across the country. He finished his orientation with Werner Thursday night and jumped in a truck shortly after to start his training. In the past 48 hours he's driven from Indiana to Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. He'll continue on road for the next 4 1/2 weeks hopping from truck to truck with different trainers. What an interesting journey he's on! Please keep his safety in your prayers!!

Update!

Tim started his training with Werner today at 6:00a.m. Yikes! We left yesterday for our 6+ hour drive down to Indy. I ended up staying in Indy overnight because of the bad weather. I woke up and headed home this morning, EARLY this morning. I've been awake since 4:30. yuck. I'm ready for bed. We had another great Christmas this year. I spent the day at my parents and then at my sisters and Tim spent it with his family at his brothers house. Christmas Eve at GCC was amazing. We celebrated New Years at Scott's with our friends and all of the snow.

I treated myself to a new camera. Its the touch screen Sony T200. I can't wait for it to get here!! Finally I'll own a camera that works again! Here's what it looks like...

Well, thats all for now. I'll write more as life unfolds.

LOVE!

and so it begins...
