Long Time....No Post :(

Has it seriously been a month already...SERIOUSLY!!! I know I keep saying this, but time is passing by so quickly. I wish I could just breathe and enjoy a day before 30 days pass by. Oh well...what can you do?

The past month we accomplished the following:
1. Nate quite his job....FINALLY!!!! He is now working with his
brother which is working out quite well. He seems to enjoy it a lot
more and good ole Tops Knives.
2. We did out taxes. We were anxious and nervous about doing them with the
new house. It went well and we are paying off bills with what we are
getting back.
3. We decided we are going to Chicago in June to attend MaryAnne's
graduation (Nate's sister) from med school. This time we hope it will
be a fun, laid back trip so we can actually enjoy Chicago.
4. Nate started school again. He is studying a lot....so it had better pay
off.
5. We made our 12th house payment last month. EXCITING!!!! We really
can't believe we have been here for that long.
6. My job responsibilities at work have changed almost completely.
It is kinda scary and exciting at the same time...as with any
changes. I am just thankful that I have a job, because I know
a lot of people don't right now.

And that about sums it up. Pretty boring I know. Although, there is one more thing to mention....no, we are not pregnant yet :(... Valentine's Day! Nate is just barely getting out of the dog house. Long story short...he ended up working longer than expected and "lost track of time" and didn's call me until 8:30pm and then proceeded to not show up until about 10:30 at night. I was NOT a happy camper. He did bring flowers home, but at that point I was too pissed to even care. Hopefully he will plan something tonight and try to make up for it. Just as an FYI to everyone....and a reminder to my husband that will be reading this also... I would NOT have been upset if it would have been communicated and a simple "I'm Sorry" was spoken. :)

Lastly, I was supposed to go to Michelle's last night and stay the night. I got off work at 7:30 and started on my merry way....and then my check gages light came on. I looked down and saw that my heat sensor was as far in the red as it could possibly go. I called Nate and he told me to check the coolant. I was luckily just barely off the ramp and so I turned at the first "emergency" turn off in the middle and went to Dad's Truck stop. Low and behold....it was bone dry. So I added a whole huge bottle of coolant and tested the engine. Still nothing. Hotter than hot. So I called Nate back and he met me there. He proceeded to open a different cap than I had filled. I asked him what that was and he said "the coolant". I responded "that's not where I put it. I put it here (pointing to a hole that said COOLANT). He then scared me to death and told me that was the windshield wiper fluid....then quickly realized it wasn't. Needless to say I did put it in the wrong place. ssssooo...

WORD TO ALL WOMEN.... if it says "COOLANT ONLY" that is really NOT the place you have to put it. I think a MAN thought that one up. :)

So, sorry Shell for not coming. Please don't be too mad at me. I know you were excited and I was too. We will have to pick a weekend in March that I will come and stay and we can have a girls night out.

Have a great rest of the month!!!
