{Insert Title Here}


Today I got to drive the new car for the first time. Pretty nice! It took me like 2 minutes to figure out how to get the key out of the ignition though. You have to like push it in then pull it out..very strange. And not something I was able to figure out at 6:30 this morning when I got to work! But aside from that, I think I like it. 
 
Oh and just so you know, her name is Susie. Yup. I named her already. Who do you think I am?! Geeze. I had her named the first night. Tomorrow I will try to remember to take a picture so you can see her. She's purdy :)

Tonight I had to take Oscar to the vet for his yearly shots. Sadie goes tomorrow. Oscar was such a champ! He didn't even cry. Usually he whines a lot and acts like he is dying...but he was just nervous today. They split up his shots since last year he puked his brains out afterwards, and so far, no puking. YAY. That also means he has to go back next week...but maybe these outings are good for him. Haha. It took me like 25 minutes to get him out from under the bed to put in the carrier...it's like he knew torture was coming. Anddddd for everyone who tells me my cats are way too fat, Oscar is only 2 pounds overweight, and even that is not a big deal the doctor said. So please stop calling them obese!

Hmm...what else. Husband has been working like mad lately on this new project for work so he is always working late and working at home. It seems like it will be pretty cool (and a really big contract for them) if they ever get it working consistently! Something about tracking devices for cars so insurance companies can see how you drive so they can cover you based on your driving (it alerts them if you break too hard...or speed...and shows where you've driven on a map). He tested it on my car one day while I had it and he said it made him dizzy because I drive all over the place and go in lots of circles! I do tend to get lost a lot...ha. Unfortunately this project is also very frustrating...so husband has lots of headaches and gets really annoyed with his co-workers a lot. Doesn't help that he has to baby the interns I suppose. Only for a little bit longer though so that's good.

Saturday will mark 1 year since I quit the credit union...kind of crazy. This year has gone so fast but it still seems weird that I've been gone from there for so long. I still feel like I'm just on a long vacation or something. Miss those girls. Don't miss the drama though! Every time I talk to friend Kim she always fills me in and I still get annoyed...and I don't even have to deal with those people!

As you can tell I really don't have anything to talk about...again...but Mother dearest gets a little antsy when I don't update regularly so here I am.
 
I think I am getting homesick again...it's only been since the 4th of July that we've been home but it feels a lot longer. Probably because that weekend went by so fast and we only had time to see family (which was great!) but I am missing my friends. Plus Mike has been home for like ever now and I still haven't seen him...not cool. 
 
So last week we went to the Kendall County Fair to watch my friend Megan (from work) compete in some horse speed shows. It was pretty cool! And she did really awesome :) But it was funny...this fair was sooo small compared to Allegan County's fair. And the people were different too. The 'farm people' here are a lot more fancy than the farm people back home. Josh and I were cracking up the whole time.

Okay well I'm rambling... so bed time for me.
 
Goodnight :)

  1. Thanks for the ramblings!!
    Can't believe you've been out of the credit union for a year already~~in a way,but at times it seems much longer! Seems like you've been in the Chicago area for a really long time!! Hope we can get there to see you soon :)
    Waiting for a picture of "Susie"!!! Sounds like you're both enjoying her & liking her reliability :) :)
    okay...time to go~~~going for a bike ride with Shelley (wonder where to???!!!)
    Love you,mom
