Oh my toe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




So today I went in for my interview for Big Brother Big Sister. I rode the motorcycle up and back. It was a nice ride but a little bit windy. When I asked Pete if he would mind if I took the bike his hands started shaking. He is terrified of me being on that thing. I think he might kinda want to keep me around or something. NEAT!!!! Anyway the interview went well I think. It was almost like I was being interviewed to be a cop! They asked some pretty personal questions. I hope nothing in my past will interfere with this. I have been clean and sober for about four years now. It’s like I was talking about a previous life time with her. She asked about my childhood if I was abused in anyway and various other questions that I wouldn’t normally just strike up a conversation with a complete stranger about. Oh well I was completely honest about everything. I hope she chooses me for someone. I think that would be such a great experience. I guess we’ll see. I gave Pete my cold. What an awesome wifey I am!!! Poor guy!!! I’m just about done with mine thank goodness. I got over it a lot quicker than most people I’ve seen. That’s all I can think of to say right now. Peace!!!

Holy crap I'm going digital!!!!


Okay so I'm not really going digital. I don't even really know what that means. Pretty much I said I would never do one of these and here I am. It's taken me about 20-30 minutes now trying to figure out how to set up this whole thing. I'm technologically challenged. Good thing I have a super awesome husband who's always willing to help out even when I won't let him get in a word in edgewise. I sure love his guts!!! A lot!!! So anyway. I started school today. Kind of crazy. I never thought I would go back. I’m taking two classes, The Changing American Family and Early World History. Surprisingly I already have 24 credits. Who would have guessed I actually completed some college before and passed? Definitely not me. It was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
What else is going on? Oh yeah!!! I got my motorcycle license. I look like an old lady in my picture but oh well. It has an M1 on it. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself. The girls at work want me to show up in my riding gear. They don’t care about the bike just the jacket, boots and helmet. Crazy ladies!!! I went riding for the first time on the street the other day and when I got off my hands were shaking. It was so much fun though. I’m hooked. I even went on the freeway which I got in big trouble from my husband. I got the dad look of extreme disapproval. Our kids won’t stand a chance against that look. It'll melt them right down into their boots. Needless to say I won’t be getting on the freeway again anytime soon.
I was excited to hear about Melinda and Thomas’ news. A little shocked but I’m excited for them. What a blessing. I can’t wait until Pete and I are blessed with one of our own. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever happen but I know its all God’s timing and not our own. It will happen when the time is right.
So now that I’ve talked your ears off or burned holes in your eyes I’ll stop. Until next time…….
