So, Julie and I went to the fair tonight.....it was so much fun but we ate WAY too much!
You know what's coming...the list:
1) Fried Pickles
2) Corn Dog
3) Candy Apple
4) Funnel Cake
5) Bean, beef, and cheese burrito
6) fried snickers bar (I'm not joking - it was kinda weird)
We did have a blast though....Julie was like a tourist. She took a picture of everything. We went on the ferris wheel which was cool.....saw the ever so popular and huge Abilene skyline!:)
Got harrassed by the carneys to play their games - really annoying but what can you do?
bought some stuff for the house! Julie bought a candle that I wanted to eat - it smells really good (hot cinnamon i think)
The grass is looking better. Tomorrow I'll be posting pics so everyone can look in amazement at the progress - haha....don't get too excited!
It's 10:15 on a Friday night and my wife is already in bed.....we're getting old i think....yuppers
Tomorrow night we're going to my co-workers Billy's house for a bbq. It's going to be fun - Julie can finally meet some of the people I work with. Billy says..."Well Dippers" when he forgets something.....or cracker barrell....It's pretty dang funny. Great guy!
Julie is really hoping that Reese - Garrett and Tiffany's baby is awake so she can play. Every time she has seen him, he's been sleeping. He is so dang cute!
Welp.....esta bien, no mas para mi. yo necesito una siesa por que yo tengo mas comida en la fairiorio ( no clue how to say fair in spanish - i'm working on it though)

it is what it is
It's been a great...exhausting week.
Great news - we closed on our house in SA yesterday - so glad to have that behind us! Now we can really look ahead to what the future has in store! Yippee skippy!
Julie's grandpa had his surgery today. It went very well and he is doing great. He'll be in the hospital for a few more days! Thank you all for your prayers!
Tomorrow i'm going to work at 5:30...yes in the am! Apparently Cintas hasn't figured out that I am NOT a morning person! But, what can you do - drink my coffee and I'll be good to go!
Week 7 is coming to a close which means I really only have 5 weeks left of training! WAHOO!
Welp - I'm out. Boring blog I know...but you love it....don't lie:)

monday monday....baaaah dah baaah dah dah dah
Thank you mom and dad for making me listen to oldies growing up. I love them...they rock my face off!
So, it's been a while since I've posted. Honestly, I've been flat out lazy. Between the yard work, the grass, and the traveling...I'm flat worn out. Not to mention I'm 7 weeks into my training and still have 6 weeks left to go. Luckily, I still really enjoy work. Everyone is great and I'm still learning daily. I guess I'm just ready to get it all behind me ya know? But, it is what it is!
Here is what the last week was like:
Saturday (9/1) - Road to the ranch
Monday (9/3) - Road back from the ranch
Tuesday (9/4) - Road to San Angelo
Wednesday (you get the picture) - ride along from San Angelo to Sonora - 1 south of San Angelo
Thursday - same as wednesday but tack on an hour and a half back to Abilene
Friday - road to San Antonio
Saturday - road back to Abilene
So, it's basically been crazy traveling lately. San Angelo was good though. Find out tomorrow if I landed my first sell without my sales buddies around. So that's good! Bring on the bling bling - haha. The guy I rode with was still on light duty because he had back surgery a few months back....means I got to do all the heavy lifting. BTW - dirty linens that have been sitting in the rain for a few days are A) Heavy B) absolutely disgusting
but, i survived. Back on route tomorrow to make some more money for Cintas.
Recap of my life outside of traveling:
1) closing on our house in SA tomorrow - praise the Lord....seriously
2) grass basically looks the same as it did last week - will post pictures tomorrow
3) put together a book case....it was too big and un-sturdy - took it back
4) picked up my shed which I have to put together....it's still sitting in the box
5) hung out with Jeff and Hayley for supper last night and lunch today - it's awesome getting to hang out with them.
6) champ needs a hair cut
7) boomer barks loud when a door bell rings on tv
8) my hair is still falling out
9) i'm gaining a little weight....now where a 34x34 pant - whoda thunk
10) did I mention the back yard still looks the same....oh i did...well it's confirmed
Say a prayer for Julie's grandpa. He has his consultation on Wednesday for his upcoming gall bladder surgery!

September arrives
I can't believe it's September already! I tell you what, it's been a busy/fast year! I love days off! They are awesome.
This weekend we spent time out at the Walker's ranch - I had so much fun! Luckily, cell phones don't work really well out there so there was a lot of time for relaxing. Basically all we did was lounge around. Mike, Barbara, and I did some target shooting which was a lot of fun. They're pretty dang good with a gun....but, I guess I held my own! I know you'll be surprised but Julie decided to stay indoors and forgo her invitation to shoot a shotgun - haha. I found out that hitting a clay taret with a pistol is pretty much impossible - but it was fun to shoot my 9mm since it's been a long time!
Today is a GREAT day. We got the last of the turfalo planted so now we just have to water like it's our job to make sure it spreads. Here's a picture of what the backyard looks like. i'm goin to start taking a pic a week so we can see if it works like they say it does. Should be completely covered in 30-40 days.
