What a weekend!

Well I had a long weekend but it felt like a short one.  I came home at 11am because i got rained out at work.  So I surprised my wife by just showing up.  She was so excited as well as my son, JJ.  JJ came running down the steps and gave me a huge hug.  What a great welcome home.

So the rest of the day Friday I spent doing some running for my wife and doing some of my own running.  We had to get everything ready for the party.  When I got back from my running around, JJ and I went out and mowed some of the lawn before it started raining.  He loves ridding the lawn mower.  So then it started raining and we then went into the house.  We went in and realized that it was after 5, so JJ and I made some dinner.  My wife was out shopping with my mother in law. 

After dinner JJ and I decided to watch a movie, He loves Elmo so he went over and picked up a Elmo movie so that is what we watched. While watching the movie my wife came home, she had chicken for dinner, so I had to eat again. It was OK, she makes better chicken then KFC.

Well Saturday morning, we got up and eat breakfast.  Then we JJ and I got dressed and headed outside to do some more things to get ready for the party.  We first got the lawn mower out and we only got two passes mowed before we had someone pulling in the driveway.  (I knew who it was, it was a surprise for jj and my wife.)  My sister-in-law and her husband pulled in.  JJ just started waiving.  We pulled over and shut the mower off and JJ was not happy that we shut off the mower.  He wasn’t sure what to do,  his aunt came over and picked him right up.  He just kinda look at her.  It was kinda funny.  Then his uncle said hi and started talking to him.  Then he started warming up.

Once JJ was ok with them we jumped in the Ford Windstar and headed to Wegmans to see JJ’s grandma.  She was so excited to see JJ,  her daughter, and son-in-law.  Grandma didn’t know we were all coming to surprise her.  When we got there we ended up having more of a brunch with her.  I was fun having everyone together again.

So needless to say, when we got home JJ needed to take a nap.  So my wife went and laid him down and I went back outside to finish law work.  I also had to finish everything else, set up tent, tables, chairs, get drinks put in the fridge, and help my wife finish everything else, inside my wife.  She had most of it done already.

Then the day of the party!!  Everyone was there from aunts, uncles, great aunts, and great uncles, to grandmas and great grandma’s.  Everyone had so much fun, there was kids running everywhere,  all of them boys but two girls.  They sat quitely and played by themselves.   The boys, however did not play so quitley.  They were loud and running everywhere and getting into everything.  But what can you say boys will be boys.  JJ was in the mix at some points being the ring leader.  It was so funny. 

The party was great, and everyone had a good time.  The weather was great and you really couldn’t ask for a better day overall.  Most of all the food was gone and all the pop and beer was just about gone as well.  So needless to say clean up was kinda easy.  Nothing need packed away or stored anywhere.  After everyone left we went over to my in-laws house and watched twlight for the tenth time. But its a good movie so it was ok.

When the movie was over we said our goodbyes and went home, put JJ to bed and then I had to pack for the week, because it was back to work on monday morning.

Home Home Home

The last three days have been very trying. I did something stupid and we all know that it wont be the last time, but to let everyone konw, Things are good. Life is good. Some times thats all you can say.

Im going home tomarrow. For Three days!!! Im taking off saterday because i have to help my wife get ready for a dipper party and welcome home party for my sister inlaw and her husband. We havent seen them sence last year. They are so exited to see my son.

My son will go to my mother in laws house and play and then he will all of a sudden stop playing and go to a pic that is in the corner of the living room on an end table and pick it up and kiss it. The pic is of my sister in law and her husband. It is so cute, he may be young but he knows who loves him.

Im sorry to thoes who dont want to be part of my sons life. They are missing out! There are many things that could be said here but the only thing that matters is that no matter what has happend in the past, life moves on. Life is to short to be mad or upset about things.

All familys have issues, Some worse then others. However its what you take from thoes issues that makes or brakes a family. My family has learned a lot. We have taken the good and bad and learned from all of it.

Well enough of my rambaling on, I leave you with this….

I love my wife with all my heart. My son is the greatest in the world. We love our lives and all who are in it, and we are sorry for those who arnt. But at the end of the day as long as i have my wife son and son to come, Im Ok with anything that is thrown my way.

66 Mustang!

Well im back in. My wife a few months ago said i could buy another mustang, but it had to be a 66. So i found one on ebay, of all places. I found a shell of a 66 mustang that was stiped down to nothing. So I showed my wife and she said as long as i got it cheap.

Well the hour was here. I was watching the bidding and in the last 5 min i bidded $150.00. Low and behold I won the bid. So my wife and I, along with our son started planing a trip to Hardeville SC. We decided to make it a family vacation. So my wife found some zoos that she thought that our son might like. And then we set a day.

We ended up going 4 days after the auction ended. I loaded up the mini van, with food, drinks, movies, and pillows. I then hooked up the trailer and put in coolers in the back and then we were ready to go. So we left and drove through WV and stoped for dinner and after that we stoped at a hotel for the night. My wife and son could not ride that long in a car.

The next morning we got up and at 5am and drove the rest of the way down. We got there about 130pm, and it was so nice out, 73 and sunny. Getting the car didnt take very long. They were there waiting for us. They had the car up in the air so all I had to do is back my trailer under it and then we lowered it onto the trailer and then straped it down. Once all straped down we went in did the title work and went on our way.

We went to the hotel and droped off the triler and went to the ocean. It breeze was kinda cool but it was so nice. My son was so funny. I put him down in the sand for the frist time and he really was not sure what to do. At first he didnt want down but then i put him down and left him down so he kinda got ust to it. So we played on the beach for a while and then went home.

The next morning we started on our way home. 4 hours down the road we stoped near the boarded of SC at a zoo. It was kinda a bummer. The things that were supposed to be open wernt. The only thing that my son really enjoyed was ridding a real pony. We did them once and then saw the rest of the zoo. We wanted to go back and ride the pony againe but when we went back they were closed to. So at that point we decided that it was time to leave.

So we packed up againe and headed down the road. I drove till about 11pm and my wife was started to get cramped up so we stoped at another hotel stayed the night and drove the rest of the way home.

So now the car is sitting in the basment of my houes and im trying to save up money for the parts that i need. LOL everything!! Its going to take a while. So ill keep you up to date on the progress.

State Police *77

If you have a wife, daughter, or loved one you worry about this is a good pice of info.
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77.

It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren’s parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away.

She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren’t, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe & quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *77 like Lauren did.

Too bad the cell phone companies don’t generally give you this little bit of wonderful information.

*Speaking to a service representative at Verizon Wireless confirmed that *77 was a direct link to state trooper info.

So, now it’s your turn to let your friends know about *77.

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life. This applies to ALL 50 states

REMEMBER ANY ONE CAN BUY USED COP CARS!!!!!!

BE CAREFULL

Hope this helps someone, or everyone!

WOW! Watch Out!!

Wow, what a day. It was so nice today. It was 87outside and sunny. I got up a 4am to drive down to Pitt’s for work and it was 67 out. When I got to work the parking lot in front of our work trailer was full. So I had to park four rows away. It was so nice i really didn’t mind.

We had 6 new guys start today. Our ground man had school this week so we had to get a replacement for this week. The guy there today was doing OK for his first day on the job.

On a diffrent note, did you seen the race on sunday?! WOW! Watch Out!!Carl Edwards had a huge comeback, and then a huge wreck only yards away from the finish line so he got out of his car and ran across the finish line. Now that is commitment. Only if we all had that kind of dedication to our jobs.! He did a great job for Ford.

What a driver. To go thou all that and still get out of the car and run over the finish line.

After work I came home, In Pitt, and took a nice cold shower. After that i ate home made ribs. Once again, WOW! I ate so much its not funny. After dinner i went into town for wipes for the baby. Then back home to talk to my wife.

Over the weekend i was talking to a Ford Rep about a diesel ford focus or a focus hybrid. He asked me if i would be interested in an electric Ford Focus. Sure why not? Looks good and is earth friendly, not to mention that the mileage is awesome. Check it out. Ford Electrified Vehicle.
Support your domestic leader!

I hope that I get a chance to be part of Ford in some way. Being part of the future would be awesome.

Well only 6 days left untill the dipper party!! We cant wait to see everybody. All of our family is going to be there and our closest friends. We will have a ton of food and a keg. ( not for my wife of course.) I’m so excited for my new son to arrive. After the party we are going to remodel two of the bedrooms and enclose the porch. So I have a lot to do in three months.

Well thats all for now. Ill keep you up to date.

PS Fords Fusion Hybrid is at 1197 so far on one tank of gas and still going. Watch for more updates….
