Eventful Weekend...

This past weekend was actually very busy, Friday night I went out with Nikki and then Whitney showed up in town and since I hadn't seen her in a very long time I think we stayed out till about 4am. Chad and Holly... if you saw lights in your driveway at one point it was us! :) But at least I didn't have to work Saturday so I slept till about noon and then Saturday I had Drake's Baptism. He did a very good job... didn't even cry. I don't have any pictures because I forgot my camara. But Samee I'm sure willl have some posted soon on hers! Then after we ate at Vics... I went down the road to party with a bunch of guys at Josh's uncle Don's new shed. Alot of poker was played, we left for awhile and headed to another party but ended the night back at Dons.

Sunday morning Josh, Hagen, and myself traveled up to Greenup to take out my little cousin Sydney for her 11th birthday! We went to Mattoon and ate at Crackel Barrel (I really don't know if thats right lol) and then we went and hung out at my Dad's for awhile. Had to work Sunday night so we came home pretty early so I could take a nap before I went! ha
It was a good weekend... though I have to say I am ready for some warm weather!!!

Roll on...

Roll on Highway, Roll on Along

Roll on Daddy till you get back home

Roll on Family, Roll on Crew

Roll on Mamma like I asked you to do

And Roll on eighteen wheeler, Roll on.

I listen to this song almost everyday, and everytime it comes on I think of my Uncle Mark. It's hard to believe that a year ago today we lost him. He was known and loved by so many. I've posted this picture before and wanted to again just because I think it is so cool the way the people that were in his lives are remembering him. He was an amazing uncle, father, husband, grandfather, brother, and son. I love him and miss him very much! This is a picture of him and my dad one Chirstmas, it makes me laugh just because the two of them are laughing (who knows about what)! And I can just hear them both going at it! :) So many memories.
I found this picutre, and it also made me smile because wow did he love mushrooms! I can remember many times when I would tag along on the big mushroom hunts with my uncle and my dad.

And this picture is kind of random... :) but I love it because its just me, samee, and uncle mark hanging out. Which is what I absolutely loved to do when I was younger was to just go over to Aunt Kim and Uncle Marks and hang out. Clay and I would always fight over whos aunt and uncle they were... lol cause i guess we couldn't share! ha There are so many memories that make me smile when I think of him, but he is missed so much and by so many! I love you Uncle Mark!

Valentine's Day!

So, Thursday morning at work I noticed a bite on my leg, kinda itched but didn’t think anything of it. Friday when I woke up it was huge and swollen and it hurt so bad, so I called my Aunt Holly and asked what she thought I should do about it and after coming over to examine it… we came to the conclusion that we thought it was a spider bite. So I went to the doctor over in Dieterich because my normal doctor in town was off that day and she gave me an antibiotic and told me to watch it and if it got any bigger or worse to go to the ER immediately. And in case some of you don’t know… I’m 100% deathly afraid of spiders! So that just made it worse. So I started taking my medicine and I really just didn’t feel good… me and Josh had plans for Saturday and I was hoping that this wasn’t going to ruin them. So I made a very mature decision to stay home and rest Friday night. Lol Saturday Josh and I went and ate at Richards Farm which was very good. He had gotten me flower which were beautiful…. J And he also spoiled me with this…. He has very good taste.... I absolutely love it and had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I hope everyone else did as well!!

Flying Around!

Okay so... My friend Eric Smithenry has recently purchased a plane. (The Blue and White one in the background). And when he told me that he did this I made him promise to take me flying when he took it up for the first time. So a couple Sundays ago I got a call at about noon asking if I was ready to go up in the air. :) I was pumped. Now Eric doesn't have his private pilots liscense yet so I couldn't actually fly in his plane with him but I rode with David Read, and Eric and his instructor were together and then Jon Zumbahlen and David's wife were also up in the air in Jon's plane. So after we got everything ready to go we took off. I was so excited... we headed towards Erics house because some people were standing outside waiting to see us fly over, we then headed towards Newton so I could see my house and then we started doing some tricks. (If that's what you call them lol) first we did a roll... which was very cool. then we did some weird named one were you do a have roll and then go into the backride of a loop. That was really neat, and last but not least we did a full loop that was amazing but my stomach started to churn after that one haha. Overall an awesome experience can't wait to do it again. Now to this picture down below believe it or not that is me in the passenger seat of the closet plane. Davids wife took this picture and it ended up on the front page of a flight newsletter. How cool is that! You can't really see it here but if you go to http://t18.net/Newsletters/Newsletter%20141.pdf you can zoom in and kinda see better! I just thought it was pretty neat!

Snowmobiling!

So like I said I headed out after supper last night to go play in the snow. There was about 5 or 6 four wheelers and to my surprise the rig I was riding on was a SNOWMOBILE. You don't know how excited I was because I have never been on one before. So we bundled all up face masks and all and took of to go play in the snow. We had a blast... it took me a little while to get the hang out riding on the back of a snowmobile its very different than just hanging out on the back of a four wheeler you actually have to hold on all the time... lol I slid off a couple times but we weren't going fast and it was just funny. But it was a great time and we are doing it all over again this afternoon!! I love snow... except for the fact that my little car doesn't do shit in it! Oh well!

Snow days...

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was call time and temp. lol I don't know why it's not like I have any school to attend, but I was just curious. :) But since the roads are bad I made the extremely mature decision not to travel to work today! ha So I've been hanging out on the couch all day. Took a nap. I seriously considered bringing stuff in from my car and cleaning my room a bit, but that didn't happend. Now mom's making beef and noodles and stacey is coming over for supper. I'm going to try and talk mom into making mashed potatoes to AND THEN.... another night of fun filled nonsense in the snow is to come! Can't wait. Hope everyone else had their fun in the snow today!

Come Visit Me @ The Office!!

So... I have recently started bartending over in Effingham at The Office! I have only worked 2 times so far, still on training, but having a blast! So everyone needs to come visit me sometime that I am working!
