So it has been awhile since our last post. School and work is crazy, luckily I got a few minutes to spare after studying this morning I can make a post...
At 4:30 this morning Chris and I got up and went to the train station. He is once again spending the week in Canada. He should be home saturday, when hopefully I will be meeting him there in Chicago and going ice skating. Chris is way prepared for his trip this time. He bought a retractable passport protector to wear, where he also stores his ID's for the flights. He has a "Secret Belt" that allows him to carry extra cash and credit cards incase he gets pick pocketed (???) or misplaces his carry on bag. He also gots a computer bag on roller wheels that has extra storage to hold a day's clothes incase luggage gets lost in flight. Chris hates to check luggage and managed last time not too but this time he just had too much with a few tools and extra warm clothes that he had to, so he is taking one of the huge blue rollies that we normally take on the train.
We went to Supercross on Saturday and had a blast! Our 6th row seats were really 2nd row seats and our view was awesome. We even had a major crash happen right in front of us...not good for the riders, but when the leader is 1/2 a track in front of the second place rider Supercross turns into Hockey...you only watch it for the fights, or in this case the crashes. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Chris was exctied to see a couple of the riders had stayed there too...he saw them getting breakfast when he went to get his. Our favorite rider has been out with a knee injury so #7 was not there to defend his Indianapolis Championship he won last year and sadly, no other riders were able to come close to Chad Reed this year. As I mentioned before, he won by 1/2 the track length. Although he did design the track for this event so it was a bunch of turns and jumps that he likes and that he's good at. I think most of the riders had won on the tracks they designed themselves. After we got out to the car we saw Kristina had called, Dustin was there too so she was wondering if we seen him...nope. We got there at 4pm and I got up once and Chris got up once, so we didn't have much oppurtunity to see him. But i bet he had fun.
Last weekend I went to the Pampered Chef party at Jamie's house and had a great time. Chris enjoyed it also. We bought a cooking Stone, a chopper and some Jerk Rub. e also got some Caramel sprinkles free and a butter knife free and a sandwich bag sealing clip free. I got to demonstrate the chopper and after that, I was sold. We spent over 70 bucks but it was worth it and the drive to get to see the Hundley's again! I saw mom, dad, Jamie and her beau, Mike. Erica is in Texas in the Air Force and Danielle was out on date. Congrats Erica on the pregnancy and Congrats Tonya and Donnie on the grandbaby to come! Great to see you all again! Good luck in Lafayette Jamie and Mike.
After the party Chris and I went to my moms and had dinner then went to bed. Sunday we ate an early lunch then went to the mall. Chris bought a bunch of clothes from Steve and Barry's for $8.95 each and he got his hari cut at BoRics. Rachel also got her hair cut very short. I'll have to see how well she likes it now that it has been a week. Then we went to Champaign to have dinner with Brent, Amanda and Makenna. We ate some yummy Chinese food but not before we spent a few minutes just hanging around their house talking. It was a great, fun filled weekend.
We did manage to stop at the house in kokomo on our way to Indy. I got all my sweaters so I'll have them to wear to work now! We found the shingles have moved slightly on the roof with all the wind. So we will be back again shortly to replace those ones. Everything else is still just as we left it. Later Gators, I got to get ready for work.
