Day Off

Last night we went over to a friend from work's house, Jen and Kendall. Me met up with a couple of other couples. We call it our married people night. It was a lot of fun. The only down side was that we were going to bring the dogs with us cuz they live on about 3 acres that backs up to woods, but it was supposed to storm so they had to stay home. We had a bonfire and grilled burgers and brats and then made smores for dessert. yummy! When it started to rain we moved inside. We had a good time hanging out and made it home by 11. Not bad.

Today Tom had to get up and go to school. He left early so that he could go to the gym and I slept in till 9 o'clock!!! I hung out around the house till 10 then picked up a script at Walgreen's, went to the post office and then took the truck to Midas. We've been have squealing issues and Kendall works at Midas. He thought from last night that we had a bad pully and not the belt like we had thought. Turns out he thinks we hav 4 bad pullies and its gonna cost us about $300 bucks in parts. Good news is he said he would fix it at his house instead of the shop so we don't have to pay labor. Talked to Drew and he thinks it might be fixed with a simple can of WD-40. so, I think we'll try that option first!

I got back home and had lunch out on the patio with the puppies then off to the DMV to get my TN driver's license which my WI license expired on my birthday 3 1/2 months ago. I guess it was time. The TN DMV system is so outdated and slow. You have to sit in line for 45 minutes just to tell the person why you are there and for them to give you the form to fill out. There was about 50 other people in there with me and only about 4 workers there. I actually didn't have to wait that long. They called for me in about another 45 minutes. Some people were there waiting for 3 hours, WOW! So now I am officially a resident of Tennessee, yikes! I guess I can officially write into my vocabulary, dang, ain't never and ya'll!! :)

Tomorrow it's back to work with the clinic and games. Soccer game tomorrow night at 7pm so looks like another 14 hour day!!! :)

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!1

I hope everyone is having a marvelous Easter. We have a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining, blue skies and about 60 degrees!! Welcome, Spring!!!!

Today we got up early and went to the 8 am mass. We started going to the Catholic Church just up the street from our house a few weeks ago. Its not your typical Catholic Church. There are no kneelers and they have a "band" for a choir. The past couple of weeks its been a lady with a guitar and a lady with a flute and then the "singers". Today was a litte different. They had a "Jimmy Hendrix" style electric guitar and a drum set. The songs were really corny and it was just plain weird!!! Not what I am used to at church at all!! I guess we will get used to it after a while but I can't wait to move and get to a more traditional church.

We are about to do some yard work. We have to mow the lawn today for the 4th time this season. Later today we are going to a friends house to have a bonfire and a cook out. Tom and Kendall are going to work on changing the belt in the truck...

So we have a lot to do today, it should be fun.

Here is Shirley and Riley playing with their Easter Basket presents from Grandma and Grandpa!!! They love them. Thanks Mom and Dad...we loved our Easter Basket!
