Here, to bring some extra interest to my audio blog, is the picture of Brenda and me on my bike that I promised!

I thought you would all enjoy this!

Well, I recieved my new drivers license in the mail this past week. I felt confident when they took my picture that I was smiling and looking as happy as I could, but once again, I end up looking like I am stoned and bored out of my mind. How do they do that????? Anyway, here is a picture of me in my new license. I also decided to show you my old license for a comparison. I look pretty stupid in it too. I got that license picture taken when I was sixteen. I've aged a little, don't you think?





As you can see, I underlined the only real change in the license. I now have a class C and M1 so I can drive any passenger vehicle and any two wheeled cycle (including scooters, mopeds, etc.). Quite exciting don't you think? I was not allowed to drive at night or on the freeway until I got my license, so on Saturday I took my first ride on the freeway. It was a little wierd since my bike tops out at 73 mph and most everyone drives between 75 and 80, but it wasn't too bad because I found a slow driving mini-van to follow. I still want to get a little bigger bike that I might be able to drive to work, but I don't know when I will be able to do that.

Yesterday, I went to Kevin and Heather's for lunch and I took the kids riding around their neighborhood, I also gave Brenda and Heather rides. Anyway, Brenda took some pictures, but she will probably post them soon. Let me know if she doesn't post one of her wearing the cool helmet, and I will get one on my blog!!!

Wow, talk about a long time!

Man, it has been forever since I posted! I though it had only been a week, but it's been two! Sorry all! Anyway, I have been pretty busy! I bought plane tickets to go to Texas this last week. We are leaving here on June 8th and flying into San Antonio where we will visit Katie and Justin for about a week. We are then going to drive up to Dallas to see as many other family members as we can during that week! We will be flying back out of San Antonio on June 24th and then we have to get back to our regular lives! Too Bad! I am very excited about our trip though! Oh, and for anyone who lives around here, we will be flying out of Sac at about 2 pm on Thursday the 8th and back into Sac at 10:45 in the morning on Saturday the 24th. We are looking for possible rides to and from the airport on those days, if you're interested, give us a call!

In motorcycle news, I got my motorcycle license last week! I haven't actually got the physical license yet, but I passed my driving test and the license is supposed to arrive shortly! Now I can legally drive at night and on the freeway! Unfortunately, I still have not fixed my magneto so my lights do not work well enough to ride at night! I hope to get that fixed fairly soon, but who knows when I will actually get around to it.

My new job is still interesting, and while I am getting better at it, I still have a lot to learn. I am excited, because my new boss shared with me last week that he wants to train me to do his job. This is nice not only for those times that he is gone and I actually have to do his job, but because once I know how to do his job, I will be ready for the next level of management! Pretty cool eh?? Well, I guess that is about all that I can come up with right now, hopefully this time I will get around to posting a little sooner than last time! Y'all have a great week!!!

Lost Plate and Terrible Golf!!!

Well, this weekend was a lot of fun! On Saturday I went golfing with Jeremy at Churn Creek. We both played very badly, but still, it was better than working! I need to go again so that I can redeem myself! Right after that I rode my motorcycle down to Jeremy's and we played Tiger Woods golf for about 4 hours. That eased the pain of a terrible golf game a little bit. The weather was beautiful all weekend! On Sunday I rode my bike to church and then Jeremy and I took the long route home. We then rode down to Jeremy's where we left for the park to play some softball and hang out with some church folks. It was at this time that Jeremy asked me why I didn't have the license plate on my bike yet. I thought he was joking, but nope, sure enough, my license plate was gone!!! The bracket that held it on was gone too! I guess it must have fallen off because one of the bolts that held it on was still there. Now I don't know what I have to do, but I need to get a hold of the DMV and figure it out! I am pretty bummed, because now I can't ride anymore till I fugure this out!

Anyway, Sunday night we (Brenda and I, not Jeremy and I) went to Kevin and Heather's and hung out for a few hours. Monday, we both worked at the Cargile's and Monday night Nick and Rachael came over to hang out with us! All in all, a very fun weekend! I am pretty bummed that I have to go back to work in just 4 hours, but I think that it really won't be that bad! Well, that's all for now! I guess you'll have to wait till next weekend for another post!
