I'm In Salt Lake City!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I made it to Salt Lake City! It's sooooo pretty here! Everybody here at the company has been great! Thank God because the bus ride from hell getting here wasn't that great! Over 21 hours on a greyhound is no fun & I went 27 hours with no sleep! If somebody ever offers me a free bus ticket again I think I'd rather walk!! LOL
I did meet a couple of nice people on the way here & that did make the trip nicer. Slept most of today, then took the shuttle van to Walmart & I Hop. Now just relaxing and probably going to hit they hay early. Classes start at 6:45 am tomorrow!

On The Mend....

Feeling much better now! The cold is almost gone!

I'm leaving Saturday and am getting nervous!! I'm looking forward to it & a bit scared cause it's a new adventure. My mother is really giving me a hard time about it but everybody else is supportive.

Tah Tah 4 Now!

Sick....

Well, I'm almost ready to hit the road! That is as soon as I'm feeling better. I'm leaving on the 17th now. My family has been sick and now they've so kindly passed it on to me. I slept all day yesterday. Today (my last day of driving bus) I did make it to work but I feel like I just got hit by a truck! Ugh!!!!

I'm Hitting the Road!!!

Yep, I'm hitting the road soon....& yes, in a truck! Sound crazy for a house wife of 17 years? LOL Maybe!! I'm probably leaving on Saturday for Utah for training. I'll be gone about 6 weeks. If there are computers there I'll be sure to post to let you know how I'm doing in a male dominated career!

It's starting to hit my husband more and more with each new day. He told me the other night that he only new how to cook three things. Well, I know he knows how to cook more than three things but I just told him that he could always buy a cook book. LOL Today he called me when I was done with my morning shift & said that he was going to miss me too much & was having second thoughts about me going to work on the road. How sweet is that!! He's such a doll!

We both want to do some serious saving for a house we want to build. I don't make much driving school bus so I thought I'd try truck driving. It will be easier to save if we are both bringing in good money. My husband is a penny pincher and is good with money so I'm sure we'll be fine.

I'm actually getting pretty excited about going. The freedom of the road! No kids to yell at! Well, I guess they can still call me on the cell phone but cell phones have an off button!! LOL

Wish me luck!!

Joshua's Home for a Visit!!

Yesterday I picked my oldest son up from the Military School he's been attending for the last two months. I was so good too....didn't cry a bit when I saw him in front of his friends & the other parents. Didn't embarrass him at all. lol When we got out to the car......I had my moment. Hugged him and just started bawling. He was so good about it too....hugged me back and said he'd missed me and such.
After I had my cry we went to I Hops. There were other families there too from the Military School. We sat with on of his friends & that boys family. They wanted to order everything on the menu! LOL They ordered a couple meals each & almost ate everything on their plates! Oh, & this is after they had a large french toast breakfast at the school before we picked them up. At one point while they were eating I told the boys to slow down and enjoy the taste of the food. At school they only have 6 minutes to eat & drink their entire meal! They were just shoveling it in!
We had a nice drive home. It was snowy on the pass like normal so we just chained up and enjoyed the drive home. It's amazing what Joshua's been doing for the last couple of months. He's really enjoying it. Says they work out so much he has no troubles sleeping. They had a 3am fire drill the other morning and Josh slept through it! LOL Luckily his bunk mate woke him up so he didn't get in trouble. lol He says they are always yelling at them and they have to be at their best all the time. He says after awhile you get used to the yelling and tune a lot of the noise out. lol He's really enjoying it. He just wishes he had a few more days home with the family. Today we are taking him to the movies & bowling.
I'm sure enjoying having my baby boy home. He's been gone from home this long before but he's always been with a phone so I can at least call and chat with him but at this school he's at the only way the boys can communicate with us is by letters. I enjoy getting the letters but sure do prefer the phone! lol
Joshua leaves to go back on Monday. That will be a hard day for me.
