Winnemucca

We're leaving tomorrow and not coming back until Monday! Woohoo! We haven't been to the sand since April, and I'm craving some quality riding. I get to ride with just Welder Guy for a day, and then his parents will be up, and then the next night the Pattersons are coming up. It's going to be a good trip!

Anniversary Countdown!

Ok, he's all better!

He was only down for about a day! This is a very good thing... I was afraid he had a bug and I was going to come down with it. He stayed home Friday and on Saturday we went to Amanda and Jeremy's wedding... It was beautiful. Sunday we went to the Nevada County Fair and the Destruction Derby. It was so much fun! Anyways, just a little update before I go to work for the night!

Welder Guy is Sick!

For the first time in the four years we've been together, my husband laid in bed this morning at around 530 and called his boss to say "hey, I'm not coming in today..." I was shocked. I mean, he did spend the entire night in the bathroom with his head in the toilet, but he has NEVER called in before. We've spent the entire day laying around in our PJ's watching TV, which is REALLY nice, despite him being sick. I know he doesn't feel good based on the fact that he's not up doing things... He doesn't ever lay on the couch... ever. Not for a whole day anyways. I got up this morning at around 9 and when he finally joined me in the living room, he asked me to go to the store and get him soup. We always have soup in our house, but this one time when we NEED it, we don't have any... of course! So I ran to our little store here in P.V. and got him soup and clear soda. He's been nursing a bottle of 7up and a can of chicken noodle soup (minus the noodles, lol) all day. I just got up and put my dinner on, as it is that time. He's going to have, you guessed it, more soup! I sure hope he's feeling better by tomorrow because we're supposed to go to a wedding in Lodi, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Also, I'm really hoping he doesn't have that stupid stomach flu that's going around because I don't want it... I don't have the patience for it! Anyways, off to check on my dinner!

I want to be lazy

I get up every morning, with the intention of doing all kinds of things, and then I jump on this damn laptop and end up sitting here until I am running short on time and HAVE to get up. I don't know why either. Well, today I do know why, but every other day I don't. Today, I'm hurting. It's that time and I'm cramping really bad. Sitting here doesn't help, moving does, but who wants to move when they feel like this? I sure don't. I have to be at work at 230, but I have to go early because the fair is in town and I can't be late due to fair traffic. I'm really craving a McDonald's chicken sandwich with ranch and french fries... so I may go early, get past the traffic, and go to McDonalds. Who knows? I told Welder Guy I'd go to the store today, this morning actually, but I think I'm going to make a quick trip tonight. That'll still put me home before 730, which is still earlier than I've even been getting off of work... so that'll be nice. And today, although most people's Thursday, is my Friday! I'm going to have a beer tonight. Celebrate. I haven't had a lot of work this week, but damn it's sure dragging. I think part of it is the fair. We have EVERYONE coming in our store, and I'm not saying that fair-going people aren't nice, as a whole, but these ones are rude, and a lot of them smell bad. I have nothing against you if you have bad B.O... I mean, it's not your fault, but that doesn't mean I want to smell it. If you really really really need a Venti Extra Caramel with Whip Caramel Frapp, just please spray yourself with some cologne or something before walking in my door. You don't want me puking as I'm making your drink, trust me.

Wedding Wrap Up

Welder Guy and I got married a little over two months ago. Looking at all of our pictures makes me wonder, "will I ever get sick of looking at them?" I sure hope not. I love the emotion and the memories that our photographer captured. She had never done a wedding before, but if Welder Guy and I did it all over again, she would still be our first choice. She knew us before the wedding, so there was no "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm getting married today!" ackwardness. She is one of our amazing quad riding buddies, and she shot two or three engagement sessions for us. When Welder Guy proposed, I didn't even look up photographers online or ask for recommendations. I already knew who I wanted to ask. Anyways, here are some of my favorites from our wedding:










So let me, once again, thank you Linlah! We love you and your work!

Law and Order: SVU

I'm obsessed with this show. It's so... sick. I realize none of these are "true" stories, but if they aren't based off of real cases, then whoever writes them should go to prison for having a sick mind. Regardless, I still love this show. I can watch episode after episode (which I get to do quite often as our DVR is "trained" to record EVERY episode). I just hate thinking about how these "sicko's" are out in our world. Can't we ship them all off to an island or something?

Hot August Nights

Welder Guy and I made the trip to Reno this morning to see some of the cool cars at Hot August Nights. We generally just go to the Grand Sierra Resort and then to the Petro Truck Stop to see the really cool Semi-Trucks, but for some reason this year, the Semi-Truck show wasn't anywhere to be found. I guess they cancelled it this year. Anywho, we left the house at around 1100am on Saturday, and got to Reno at around 1245pm. Our first stop was Grand Sierra Resort (they have an awesome outdoor swing that Welder Guy and I will be going on at some point). The Grand Sierra Resort used to be the Hilton and is off of 395. There were a lot of cool trucks there, as well as some cool cars. Then, we headed to get gas (I love my camry but with the V6 and my lead foot, it's a gas guzzler). After filling my tank up, we went to SK Noodle for lunch, and it is seriously the best chinese food I've ever had! Then, we went in search of the Semi-Trucks, with no luck. So we headed to Summit Racing so that Welder Guy could pick up some parts... but oh yeah, he didn't bring his wallet, so I paid the $70 for his parts. lol. Here are some pictures from the Grand Sierra Resort.




This truck was BEAUTIFUL!




This car's name was "Rubber Chicken".




This was on the back.




This is a cool old cop car!




My dream car!




I love the color and EVERYTHING!




Maybe next year, my parents can go with us!

First Post

So I decided to start this blog as a way to keep everyone up to date on everything without having to clog my facebook profile with a bunch of updates. Eventually, when Welder Guy and I have babies, I will keep everything up to date on here so that out of town relatives can keep in touch and see what's going on in our lives. I love blogging, even if just to rant or rave about something, and I think this will be beneficial for me. So, bookmark my blog and keep checking back as I update!
