2 days but not counting...


So I have 2 days before vacation begins, but I would never be counting the days. Its only been a year and a half plus since I've been home to NY to visit. Im really excited, but really nervous to fly. Ive never flown before and im just real nervous. Atleast I have someone flying with me that can help calm me down.
So Tom dropped a load going to New Mexico for tomorrow in Texas at the drop yard. He now FINALLY picked up a 28 trailer for the first time. He is going to pick up a HOT load for Tyson in Center, Texas going to Arizona by Thursday. He is now trying to figure out which Center, Texas he is suppose to go to because there are 4 of them in Texas. LOL Gotta love Mary.
So here is a picture of our new baby puppy Frisbee. He was chewing his bone and i distracted him for a second. He has been getting mad because I am going out of town. He's not happy.
So Im just trying to get stuff done before I leave, so thats it for now. Have a great day and be safe!!

Summer Fun

So we have had a fun summer so far. TJ ended school and then the next day we moved out of Springfield. I am so happy that we moved because it was getting more and more unsafe where we lived. We had people messing around the house and knowing the druggies lived across the ravine made a really uneasy feeling (especially with gunshots going off all the time lately!) I was really excited because we also had Ash come down for 2 months. She was able to help us move. The move could have gone better, but we made it a and are mostly unpacked. So TJ was in town for the month of June which was nice, but it was really good that he got to go up to NY to see his mom and stepdad and brothers and sister. I think he was really looking forward to it, but at the same time didnt want to go. I feel so bad that he gets torn like that, but theres nothing I can do.
So Tom came in for my birthday and was able to take TJ up to NY with him. He likes to ride on the truck with daddy. So for the month of July Ash has been doing an internship in Springfield for an animal hospital which she has enjoyed. She is so excited when she gets to work with them and I think she's had lots of fun. I have taken advantage of having the house to myself with her at work. I have been able to do what I wanted to do. Its been really nice. I miss the alone time during the year.
So we also have a new addition to the family. We adopted a dog off of craigslist in the middle of May. His name is Frisbee and he is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. He is a tri color and really been a challenge. We were told he was about a year and a half, but there is NO WAY!!! He is Waaaayyyyy too puppy. We think maybe a year old. So he is not UTD on all his shots and because of his little phase of marking everything, we had him fixed as well. He is doing soo much better now than when we first got him. He is definately a daddy's boy. He is a good dog for the most part.
So, here we are July 27 and its gonna get busy here soon. On July 30th we are gonna pick up our friend Tessa and she is gonna come housesit and animal sit for us while I go to NY to visit and pick up TJ to bring him back down for the school year. July 31st I have to register TJ for school and then me and Ash are going up to St. Charles to visit family. We catch a flight on Aug. 1st to go to NY. I will spend a few days up there and then come home and get TJ ready for school, which starts on August 14th. They start early down here, but they also get out early!!
Tom is delivering right now down in Louisiana. Its been difficult because we are use to talking every day and we have had phone issues for the last few days and havent been able to talk. I miss him and its hard not to talk to him. It is soo not fun to not be able to talk to him. Luckily we are getting a housephone tomorrow, so hopefully that will help.
Well I guess that is enough for now, I will hopefully blog everyday so that you all can know whats going on. I send my love out to all my family and friends who are able to read this. Everyone be safe!!!
