Crazy Crazy

Friday, January 26, 2007
So work is CRAZY right now I'm only here till the 12th or depending on Olivia could be earlier or later we'll see :D

I've got this project to do at work right now installing and setting up PDA's I have over 100 to do in less then two weeks, as I'm the "resident" PDA expert. It takes roughly 1hr and 15mins to set one up from nothing with everything they need to work in the plant. I've already done a pile of them and needless to say I'm sick of seeing them already... So I thought I'd make you guys look at them :P

I guess its not all bad seeing as I now have 2 outta the 3 PDA's for my personal use, I have both Dell's (the ones on the end) Work paid for them and I can take them home or whatever I want. They bought them so that I can learn how to use them inside and out... I guess I've done that. But you can always learn more so I continue to play with them. Also I've finally convinced them to get me a Blackberry I'm getting the 8703e I'd prefer something else but they wouldn't go for it. The only reason I'm getting one is because the BIGWIGS all of the upper management guys are the only ones that have them and we can't very well be testing problems and finding solutions on those, I have to fix it and get it back to them ASAP So I'll have my own to hose and fix as I please :P It's basically an over glorified PDA (personal digital assistant) with a phone and better internet capabilities.

So as most of you have been reading on Christy' blog were going to be having our baby soon!! I'm UBER Excited! We still haven't decided on a middle name yet though which is weird but to be honest I don't know if we've really been thinking about one. Is it weird if you don't have a middle name, who said you have to have one anyways.. not that we won't give her one but maybe?? who knows. Anyways I've got a few things to do this weekend to get ready, setup the crib and get some stuff outta the shed and cleaned up for mommy and baby. I've been telling Christy that she's been over doing it but she never listens to me... Staying up all night on the phone or the computer nerding it out.. She's been staying up later then me which is a HUGE change for us usually I'm coming to bed an hour or so after her.. I was in bed 2.5 hours before her last nite :P just as an idea..

Anyways were all getting excited for the new addition to our family, Christy has again stuck true to her word and not complaining about being pregnant even though she's VERY sore this time She's a trooper. I'm really proud of her. This pregnancy has been a lot different then with Tristan. She's gonna be a great Mommy all over again, I love her heart, her attitude and her excitement. I'm really stoked for having a girl a little Christy runnin around fartin up a storm :P A princess for my Queen!!

Yum Yum Sushi Time!!

Wednesday, January 17, 2007
Tomorrow I have my "Performance Review" yipppee there's only one thing I want MO'MONEY But thats a whole post in itself...

The great thing about the performance review is that my supervisor takes us out for lunch, for a "private" meeting and I get to pick the restraunt. So we'll be out on the companies dime. If there's one food I love to eat and not pay for its Chinese!! I'm a HUGE sushi fan which is wierd cause I don't like fish lol (Although my taste buds have seemed to change and I can eat some fish) We went out to this place in North Van a few years ago... OMG to die for. We were visiting Tommy boy and he and a friend took us for lunch to this place and said "Chris if you like sushi this is the place to eat" so I said sure we ordered a huge platter with everything on it, it was amazing. Anyways I just found out my supervisor likes Sushi as well so I'm sold were doing Sushi for lunch tomorrow... I'll have me a nice bowl of soup and a Yummy platter of Sushi!!

I've Rediscovered A Lost Love

Monday, January 15, 2007
I used to love reading, for some reason I stopped almost all together. The only thing I was reading in intervals, to be completely honest was my Bible. But I've rediscovered a lost love and I can't believe I've let it lay buried in the closet for so long. I've got a million "excuses" but only one sticks. When Christy and I moved into our new home we threw away our bookshelves (they were old and ratty) so we left our books packed away for far to long. *Side note* Sam and I share a passion in Wrestling, I know a lot of you are going to be like wrestling's so fake blah blah, but its not about that... anyways thats a whole different post. A while back (Nov 13, 2005) Eddie Guerrero past away, the great thing was that he was a very popular wrestler one of the most popular and he was a Passionate man of God. Anyways Sam bought me Eddie's auto-biography (Cheating Death & Stealing Life) and I just had had had to read it. I could barely put it down, great book for those of you who haven't read it I suggest doing so!! Anyways it has rekindled my love for books and I've read that and already dived into another one. "Fakes or Followers" another great book I suggest reading if you haven't. I even went out and bought a new bookshelf!! Anyways the whole purpose of this post is, I'm buying another book. My wife is gonna kill me cause were supposed to be saving money ha-ha but I couldn't resist its normally $100+ but I got it for $44.04 and free shipping from amazon.ca

J R R Tolkien' Lord of the Rings; As it was supposed to be released. A single-volumed Trilogy, in hard cover. Originally it was his intention to release this in one print but the cost of printing books was astronomical then and couldn't be done so they printed the 3 individually. I'm SO SO SO excited. I know this is gonna be like "Chris what were you thinking" but... I haven't read it before, I started reading it online just browsing and I couldn't stop so I knew I had to order it so I've been doing some digging and found the one that I wanted!




Anyways I seriously can't wait. I've been talking to Tom about it and told him why I hadn't read it, I was worried that having seen the movies first I would be disappointed in them and I couldn't handle that as they are definitely in my top 10 favorite movies. He assured me that it only adds to the beauty of the book. So I'm super excited I almost want to blaze through "Fakes and Followers" to start Lord of the Rings. It won't be here for about a week and half though, cause I took advantage of the "Free" shipping :D

So ya just a quick mention my favorite author is Frank Peretti, I've read all of his book except maybe two. My favorite was the Oath, I couldn't put it down. I loved it...

OK so I have to say Thanks to Tommy and to my Wife for hooking me up with the book, otherwise I'll be hung.

Post comments on your thoughts about the book and about your favorite Author's!

Ahh Happy New Year?

Friday, January 05, 2007
I trust all is well with everyone and you had a Great New Year!! My family didn't do much infact I think the outlaws were up later then Christy and I were :P I was VERY sick from Thursday till actually today. So I didn' t do much of anything.

We started potty training Tristan he's a funny dude, this morning he woke up with a DRY diaper, told Mommy that he had to pee ran to the bathroom proceded to undress himself and then he let her fly just stood there and pee'd his heart out! Which is great cause Christy's been teachin him to pee sitting.. I've shown him the standing technique and the cool bubbles :P So he was pretty thrilled about that. He's a smart lad and is and has been ready for awhile now, we've just been waiting for Mommy, its hard for me to teach him cause I'm at work for 12hrs a day so he only sees me at night and weekends. Kinda pointless to only teach at night, but now Mommy is more the ready she's doing it and I'm helping with as much as I can. I cheer him on we do a little dance and celebrate after he goes potty. My little guy is growing up :( I'm getting old haha

Anyways Happy New Year yadda yadda

Merry Christmas Y'all

Wednesday, December 27, 2006
Well things are finally starting to slow down. This weekend was a blast now that Tristan is getting older Christmas actually means something to him. We are trying to teach him what its really about sharing the birth of our Lord and teaching him as much about it as we can. We wanted to not put very much emphasis on the presents and it seemed to be working but truthfully being an only child, with a sibling on the way he was quite spoiled. Funny thing though he didn't get much for toys at all. I almost feel bad. He did great in the begining but near the end he just got more and more excited, by the time we were web-camming with my mom to open her pressies from her and Dad he was rippin through them.. My mom was encouraging him though. He did use his manners though. We'll continue to teach him the real meaning of Christmas.


I'm back at work, cool thing though is that our new team leader said not to work to hard so I'm doing just that slack city. I've got some stuff to take care of on the servers changing tapes and making sure the backups are running properly. Monitoring a few things but I'm gonna just try to relax as much as possible :P


Anyways I hope you all had a GREAT Holiday and a Merry Christmas!
Blessings!

Ummm Hello STARBUCKS!!

Thursday, December 14, 2006
So I may as well go down to the local, yes thats right I said LOCAL Starbucks and sign my pay check over. I plan on living there! It has been open for 4 glorious days. Here's the catch... I haven't even had one drink yet. My wife went down with Ross last night to do a Starbucks run before they're show, I was so excited for my Venti Caramel Frap with extra caramel, but unfortanately I didn't get one :( I guess it was really busy and my wife wasn't really paying attention or thought maybe they just mixed it differently here I don't know.. It's not your fault honey BUT you still owe me one :)

Oh I will get my drink, I'm gonna head there straight away after work!!

The Truth!

Tuesday, December 05, 2006
OK so I know you've all been razin me about having a girl. The truth is I couldn't be more thrilled, I know I say that "God wouldn't do that too me, he loves me to much" but he would and well it would seem like he did. I'm stoked about it, for real! The truth is that it scares the crap out of me, I know what guys want I know what they're like. Everyone keeps saying that's where my job comes into play if I raise her in the way she should go then all will be good... You see I'm probably one of the most protective people you'll ever meet. For those of you dear to my heart, you know all to well what I am talking about. I want to destroy boys that date my "sisters" none of them are ever good enough. How much more so would I be towards my own daughter. Even with my son I want to protect him, this one day we were at the park and he ran up to a group of kids and tried to play with them. They all ignored him like he wasn't there, granted he's only two years old and probably couldn't have kept up with them but the look on his face :( I wanted to bury those kids in the park right there. I have a special relationship with my boy, but if someone did that to my little girl... Someone was to call her names, or break her heart, I don't think I could handle it. I can tell ya right now my head is sprouting gray hairs all over it as I type this. God give me grace and show me how to do this cause this is a whole new world for me...

No means no!!

Wednesday, November 15, 2006
Ok so this weekend, I'm not doing anything Friday/Saturday and Sunday other then going to church. I'm Soooooo tired :P I haven't had a day off since we moved into the new house, things have been crAzy busy. So I'm gonna kick back take off my shoes and relax for 3 days. Gonna sleep till n00n lounge around in my comfy clothes and not do a thing. Except for maybe beat my kid up hehe. Maybe I'll take a nap too. Buy a six pack watch some movies, eat some pizza whatever. I don't care as long as I'm relaxed and rejuvinated for next week. So for those of you that read my blog. Don't phone me to do anything unless your comin over to lounge with me :P and I'll see ya on Sunday morning, and thats about it!

Auntie Sylvia, miss you already

Thursday, November 09, 2006
Well my aunt passed away yesterday, she had found out that she had cancer only a short while ago. Everything seemed to spread so quickly, for a little while they thought that they had it under control, and then it just started spreading like wild fire. Until finally she passed away yesterday. After much suffering she is finally at rest. I recieved many reports from my mom. Her and my aunt were best of friends, they spent alot of time together, walking the dogs, bickering about thier husbands, laying on the beach soakin up the rays or water skiing. As you can imagine growing up, when I lived with mom and whenever I went to visit them we spent alot of time with her and my uncle Brad. My Dad and him were best friends also. The good news is that my aunt had accepted Christ recently so I will be able to see her again. My mom would often phone with reports that her and my aunt had been praying all night long and singing praise music. Which is great I'm glad that she had started getting to know Jesus personally. I was always able to minister to my aunt when I would see her I would strategically play songs to get her asking questions. I remember one specific time that I played a worship song and her and my mom were so moved by this song that they were both weeping. It was a great opportunity to share Christ with them both, the real love of Christ and who He really was. Now that she trully understands that and is in Heaven with the Father I am excited. My prayer now is for the family that they would see Christ through all of this for my Uncle Brad that he would be ministered too, having lost his companion, his best friend and his love. I love all you guys so much I wish there was more I could do...

So as I sit here fighting the tears I remember the good times we had and look forward to seeing you again Auntie! Much love.

Your Journey is Complete my friend!!

Tuesday, November 07, 2006
Our hearts are broken yet we rejoice for you are with our Heavenly Father and we will celebrate your life. My prayers are for the surrounding family and friends. Of which there are many (of both) You had your quiver full and your children had, had theirs and your grandchildren were working on theirs. You've lived a very full life. One thing you taught me as a man of God was to accept others no matter what/who they were. I've heard many times about the young man who walked into a full church no shoes clothing torn and filthy had obviously not showered in quiet some time. He couldn't find a seat so he strutted right to the front of the church and sat on the floor. The congregation was stone silent. An elderly gentleman finally arose from his seat, everyone thought he was going to scorn the young man and escort him out of the Church. Instead he sat beside the young man and waited for the Pastor to continue his sermon. The tears began to flow in that house of God as people realized their attitudes were wrong. Seeing it put into practice was another thing entirely. And you had done it several times in our church. Guys showing up in complete goth/punk outfits to guys showing up in dresses and chains as everyone else stared at them you embraced and welcomed them. You also taught me how to be an excellent husband and father. The way you exampled that to us was awesome. I hope I can be half the man you were. Hanging out with you and your wife till wee hours of the night playing card games and hearing great stories was always a blast.

I love you much Grandpa Courtney and my heart grieves for your family. I send my love and prayers. If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to ask guys!! But I celebrate your life and am excited and looking forward to seeing you again. Embrace your heavenly Father as he welcomes you with open arms into Heaven.

Thank you for everything you will be in my heart always!

Heroes - Episode One - Clips

Ok I've only seen 3 of the 4 episodes 5th is on tonight and I'll be watching the 4th before it.. I have to say this is probably one of the best shows on TV that I've seen in a long while. It just grabs you right from the begining. When it ended last night with "to be continued" I was so frustrated. Like I would get with Smallville and Alias. There's only a few shows that I really enjoy watching. And this is deffinately going to be one of them!! Check it out guys Monday nights on NBC at 9 or 10pm not sure yet. I highly reccomend checking it out. FYI you can catch the episodes you've missed on NBC's site.

Quirks of Life...

Wednesday, October 18, 2006
Ok so here's the scoop... I HATE having my whole weekend planned out for me. There I've said it, it's out in the open. I'm a creature of habit. Don't get me wrong if I've got something that I'm looking forward to I'm cool with it like a confrence in town or out of town. It's when its a bunch of small thing piled into one weekend that gets to me. I'm night owl, I love to be awake at night and because of that I don't sleep much. Lately I have been but typically I don't go to bed till 1 or or 2am then I'm up for work around 5:30. So by Friday night I'm usually pretty tired. Let me sleep in on Saturday and everything is ALL good :P If I don't get any sleep I'm wiped for the whole week. So yah I'm complaining :P I had one of those weekends last weekend, and I've got another one this weekend. So we'll see what happens...

Finally Pics!

Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Well finally the pics are here. We've been truly blessed to have a place we can actually call our own. Something we don't have to pay rent to someone and get nothing out of it. Thanks for the incredible opportunity to "The Outlaws" we have what we can call our first home. Basically we got it for a steal =P All we are doing is taking over the payments. So true technically the bank owns our house but not unlike most of us right =P So here they are, sorry they're not all up yet and keep in mind I took these pictures pretty much right away we were/are still unpacking.


So we'll start them off with a view from outside, this is our new place. It was built in 1992 and it has 2 bedrooms, + an addition added later on which we've converted into a bedroom with a gas fireplace. Amazingly enough we fit quite comfortably in it!.



Here's the fence we put up last summer, truth is my Brother inlaw did about 90% of it he's a jack-of-all trades really. He did a beautiful job on it. Dad broke the gate though =P All I did was plain and stain really. It goes around the whole back yard. Very nicely done! I'll get some pics of the backyard later. The Shed you see in the backyard is great our freezer is in there and all my "handful" of tools kind of sad really I need to start expanding my tool collection. I'm going to be staining the shed to match the fence in the spring/summer. I'm also considering putting a bigger deck in the backyard with an awning or something. We'll see.

Now for the inside! I'm not going to be posting a pic of all the rooms yet, cause "The Outlaws" are staying with us while we renovate their new home which is great! And my room isn't finished yet, were going to frame in a bedroom door. Maybe..


So this is the entrance way, I have to admit I wasn't to sure about the colors before/during our move in but now that were getting settled into the house they are growing on me. We are going to be getting a nice closet or cupboard for the entry way to put coats/boots in. FYI the camera isn't doing the color any justice... It’s much more vibrant and lively then it is in the photo.



From the entry way we come into the hallway/kitchen. Its a great size for us considering what we've come from. Its nice to have a real stove, although I'd prefer gas this is great and a real fridge. Lots of storage space. In fact there was to much. Mom and Dad had Craig (brother in-law) remove some cupboards prior to us moving in. They're in my office and I've made good use of them! But it’s very nice, opened up the kitchen very well. I know my wife loves this addition to A DISHWASHER!!! Now I don't mind so much helping with dishes. I haven't yet but I wouldn't mind... haha



Next to the right is the dining room nice sized can easily fit 6 adults and 3 kids in there as we've done many times when Mom and Dad lived there. Christy finally convinced Mom to give her the table so we gave ours to Adam and Sonja. I don't know who was more excited! :P On the opposite wall there’s a built in china cabinet which is great to more storage. It’s nice, the only thing I want to change about it is the glass inserts. They're from the 90's and it’s obvious. Check the pic.



Up next the living room!! I was uber stoked about this. When we got the TV a few years ago, the wall mount unit was $599 for the basic version, way to expensive.



Well we decided to go check the prices out for the new place as we thought space was going to be an issue. Turns out we bought one of the better ones you can get it pivots up and down and is easy to setup was under $200 Yay for great deals!! Next big buy is going to be a proper entertainment unit. Wireless speakers that wall mount baby and a subwoofer big enough to shake the walls apart.
We also got new furniture!! Another steal from "The Outlaws" Thanks so much for everything you guys do for us!!



That’s a better pic of the TV mounted to the wall. For those of you that didn't know we won that TV about 3yrs ago. I purchased $10 raffle ticket and won a $12000 42" Plasma TV with the control box. Huge blessing!

This next room was the biggest stress for me. Most of you have seen my office. We had a 2 story house and my office was litterally crammed in the basement. Or so it seemed.


I was blown away by the fact that I got all... well most of my office into this room seeing as it’s the smallest room in the house. I did get rid of some stuff that I was just sitting on because I'm a pack rat. But I kept allot of it. It’s cozy I'm not squished in there and I've got lots of room to work its great!

Well that’s all for now, I'll get some picks of the bedrooms and bathroom when we've settled in the new place and after I've gotten Christy to do a "perimeter sweep" haha inside joke.

Anyways I'll get the rest of the pics up soon. Thanks for checking out the blog :P

Blessings

Sorry Keith your outta town :P

Sunday, September 24, 2006
Ok So Just for the record I'm not going to try to compete with Keith's blog about the nucks but he's outta town. So I felt I owed it to the boys to say WE WON!! Finally get that monkey off our backs were 1 and 3 Good game tonight. Good skating tonight digging, and good penalty kills. D.Sedin "almost" got a hat-trick that'd be sweet. I know what most of you are thinking "Give it up its still pre season games.. I know I know but I couldn't help but get all stressed out when we went into double shoot-outs.

I'm probably going to get some heat for this but I'm worried about Naslund, don't get me wrong I LOVE the guy but when we traded Bertuzzi I'm afraid the magic went with him. I mean the chemistry of that line was one we can only dream of. I know things weren't the same since the Avalanche incident, but given time... We'll see though. Another one I'm not sure about is Luongo... Sure he's the Winner of the Michael Bossy Trophy, 1996-97, and he's a member of gold medal-winning Team Canada, 2004 IIHF World Championships. He's also landed a record in the NHL on March 25th 2004 with 2219 saves in a single season, and maybe he's compared to greats like Roy and Broduer (I really dispise Brodeur but he is what he is...) Ok.. Maybe with Stats like that one can't help but like him. I could go on with the list btw but I won't. I just need to really see him step it up for the boyz. I'm gonna give him a chance but I'm skeptical.

Anyways GREAT game tonight here's the details:

Hockey Night in Canada new season

Oh Man I LOVE HOCKEY!!!

Preseason games already going!!
Vancouver 06 - 07 Season Preview

This is AWESOME You all know I'm a Nucks fan so here it is. I'm sorry the song has swearing but its worth it!!

Christy says: "Time to update your blog"

Friday, September 22, 2006
I guess its been awhile so maybe I should be posting something :P I did warn all of you that I'm not an avid blogger. I only get urges to write something once in awhile. A lot has gone on since my last blogging incedent. My wife and I went to Prince George for a youth confrence. It was an amazing God time, it was also good to see friends and family. We ended up not bringing Tristan this time, our good friends Adam&Char said that they would take him last min, so we decided that the car was going to be squishy enough as is maybe its best to take them up on that offer.(We'll make it up to you guys but seeing as you have 3kids maybe we'll only do 2 days instead of 4 haha) It was great to come home to Tristan we sure did miss him, and he missed us when he saw me he ran right to me and wrapped his arms around my neck and didn't want to let go. On monday we went for our first Ultra Sound, the "technician" wouldn't say for sure what the sex of our baby "boy" was cause he wasn't 100% certain, but he did say "genitals and scrotum" haha. The best part was me telling Christy and the tech what was going on. I knew right away cause "Zak" <-- Might be baby's name was sucking his thumb and the other hand... on his penuts :P Just like his big brother! Tristan came with us and was asking if he could hold the baby haha. Cuteness monster as Christy would say. I should've broght the ultrasound pics and scanned them in. Maybe I'll do that tonight or tomorrow. Other then that not much OH wait :D I got my new hat haha I used to be a sucker for hats I'd buy a new one every month or two, lately its been one a year... Sad I know, anyways I love my hats so I bought a new one. Had to order it from the states but thats saweet cause now I'm the only one in Terrace (at least I better be) that has this hat!


Ok other then that HOCKEY IS STARTING!!! I can't hardly wait the Canuckle heads have had a couple preseason game,they lost 3-1 and 4-3 BUT and this is a BIG BUT. They only had 3 veteran NHL players the rest were guys from the farm. Against Calgary who ran pretty much thier full NHL line! The 4-3 loss was against the Sharks :( Sucks but I guess we gotta give the team time to find thier game? New line up guys gotta get used to one another. Here's to hoping this isn't a reflection of what the season will be like. Yay for Hockey!! AHHHH I can't wait!! Tristan and Daddy can watch Hockey!!! Then when baby "Zak" is born he'll join Tristers and Daddy.
Now only if some of the boyz around here would get into Hockey like I did.. I swear I need to move up to Mackenzie cause I know Keith would watch the games with me. Bunch of n00bs here Keith they don't even like hockey :( For a link to Keith's "Insane Canucks Fan Blog" Check my side bar :D

Thanks for the blog bro, now I don't need to post the roster and stuff :D For those of you who are die hards please watch his blog for updates comments and pre/post game chats. I know that once Tommy gets home I'll have my hockey buddy back!
GO CANUCKS GO!!

Life in the "Fast" Lane

Thursday, September 07, 2006
So as most of you have probably heard, Christy and I have bought our first home. It's a nice little trailer and were getting a KILLER deal on it. Yes you officially can call us "Trailer Trash" on October 1st hehe. I'm gonna be gettin me some tighty whitey's and a wife beater, I'll have to drink more beer and sit on my front porch waiting for the lawn to grow taller then the VW. In all seriosness though we have been truly blessed, although at first I was reluctant and didn't want to do it. In the end my pregnant wife wins, and I'm actually getting excited about it as well. I get to FINALLY mount the TV properly, thank God for 0 finger prints. I'm going to do my office up nice, and Christy said "You should put some of your Coke stuff in the house" Even though I did before, now she wants it around a bit, instead of dreading it haha.

The crapppy thing about all of this as you probably also read on my wife's blog we seem to always do this when were expecting, yes for those of you that read my blog and not her's my wife and I are expecting our second child. We couldn't be more thrilled. The crazy thing is I'm at work from about 5:40 till close to 5:00 every day. Then, of course to make things more interesting, this coming weekend we have a big confrence at our church, the following week were going to Prince George for 180 which is a youth retreat which we've gone to for the last 4yrs this will be the 5th year. So that leaves me 1 weekend to pack the house and move it. Now because were moving into a trailer... and because I'm a bit of a pack rat, ok ok a lot of a pack rat. I hate throwing things away, granted I've got some stuff that I'll NEVER use again I do have some stuff that just can't be thrown away. Any time that I've tossed something like this I've needed it like the next day or week or whatever. So I've got LOADS of crap that I have to go through... I already tossed some paper work that I wish I didn't and its to late, its on the curb waiting for the garbage guys to pick it up and I'm sitting an hour away trapped at work.

Anyways we are truly thankful and feel very blessed to have this opportunity to get into the trailer and actually be able to call it our own, no longer paying rent to someone else but investing into our future. Our plan is to live in the trailer for two years or so, sell it and look for a house. So I've gotta get to work now... It seems like its going to be a crAzy day. Later all

Happy Birthday KIKI

Haha I'm posting twice in one week.. Or twice in two weeks WHATEVER. So this morning I got up like every morning. No wait let me rewind a bit. Last night I was talking to my friend and he says "I totaly slept in today I was running around the kitchen in my underwear and the phone rang"... Anways it was his car pool buddy. So I was like did you forget to put your pants on cause he was out the door in about a min. He didn't, but I was like I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I'm gonna put my shirt and socks and shoes on and head out in my underwear. So sure enough I got up got dressed minus the pants and took the garbage to the curb. Just then my father-inlaw pulls in and I stumble around as to look more tired. Walk to the door and grab my backpack (which has my pants in it) Head out to the truck stumbling the whole way, open the door and he says "So ahh your going to wear your shorts to work today" and I look down and lift up my shirt then he realizes that its not shorts its my underwear I spin around like I'm looking for my pants and he's almost crying he's laughing so hard. I could hear Christy laughing from the bedroom window. Anyways then I say just kidding and pull my pants outta my bag. Now I'm at work blogging :P

This weekend I'm going camping with the fam the WHOLE fam. Well all of the wackadoo's in this area anyways. Thank God were not going to Lakelse I hate camping in places like that, to populated. However when you get some where that is away from people and quiet I love it. So we should have a ton o'fun. It'll be nice to get away from everyone and everything. No phones no nothing.

Peace out!
