Finally!

Jessie finally comes home tomorrow! Looking forward to taking Monday off and enjoying a long-awaited weekend together. =)

All Wet

Well tonight was sort of exciting. Somehow I managed to simultaneously flood both the kitchen and the laundry room while I was in the middle of making dinner. I guess that's what happens when you are running the washer, dishwasher, and sink all at the same time and the main drain backs up. After a good bit of mopping, and helping the repair man climb up on the roof to snake the drain, everything is back to normal. =)

The weather has been great, and I've had the past two weekends off, so I finally have been getting some work done on the Rodeo. This will be our only vehicle once we turn in the Saturn, so I want to make sure that it'll be running like a top until we have to move again. I finally got down to the valve train today, and am going to start rebuilding the top end of the motor. Hopefully I can get it all back together over the next few weeks!

Body work out of the way

Lots of work to get to this point!

And the best news yet, is that Jessie will be home in less than a week! Needless to say, she is very ready to come home, and I have missed her dearly. It's been a long six weeks, but it's nearly over. =)

7 months later....

Man, it's hard to believe that we've been in California for nearly seven months now. How time files! Anyway, I guess that I don't really have any exciting news to report, just wanted to say hello. Jessie is still in Alabama, and I am still keeping myself busy with working and little projects around the house.

I got my passport stolen last week, which was pretty exciting. I was going through the process of obtaining a visa, because my employer wants to send me to Brazil for a while. Turns out my passport and other information was swiped right off the desk of the person who takes care of setting up all of the travel arrangements for C&D. So, I had to spend several hours on the phone filling out police reports, talking to various government agencies, and all of our financial institutions trying to safeguard against identity theft. Woohoo.

The weather has finally let up a bit here, which has been nice. The past three weeks of constant rain, flooding, and mudslides were starting to get a bit old. If you've been watching the news, you'll know that Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee were hit with some pretty nasty tornadoes. Well, Jessie is safe and sound, and luckily was much further south than all of the damage.

That's all for now....!
