Another week....

Hey all,

Called about the status of the Jeep today, and they said it would be ready next week sometime. It was in getting painted and then they needed to assemble the pieces again. I'm getting pretty excited to see how it looks when it is all finished. Very cool!! Hopefully we get this done before I leave for Wisconsin August 5th. I may have to turn the rental in and get a ride to the airport, but we will see.

Not much else to report at the moment. Looking forward to a nice weekend at home getting things done.

Until next time...

Rental Car....ooohhhh yeahhhh!!!


Hey guys,

Attached is a pic of the 2008 Dodge Charger I am driving around while our 2005 Jeep Liberty is getting fixed. Our insurance provider, Allstate, called the other day to let me know that the bodyshop fixing the Jeep, SF Chevrolet, had to fix or replace the drivers side door, put a brand new hood AND roof on the Jeep and the total cost of damages done to the vehicle is close to $5000!!! We only pay our $500 deductible. Pretty crazy how the hail did so much damage!!! A lot of vehicles in town are being deemed as "totalled".

Until next time.....

Saturday

Hey all,

Another lovely NM weekend!! I'm working at the gym as we speak. The place is clean so I thought I would type up a few words!!

I called on the Jeep yesterday to check the status. It is all finished except, they said, for the roof and hood which had to be ordered as they were "beyond repair"!! Interesting, I thought. I'm a little frightened about a new roof, but Shane tells me that you won't even be able to tell they did anything. I sure hope so. I did let SF Chevrolet know that our satellite radio cords run through the top of the Jeep so to be careful not to cut anything!! Will have to do the same thing with the windshield guys when they come to replace that. So, in the meantime, I am enjoying my rental car which is a 2008 Dodge Charger...bright red...and you push the accelerator and it goes!!!! I will take a photo and post on here for you all to enjoy!!

Kids are doing well. Tyler got a transfer to Starbucks down on Central Ave in Albuquerque and starts on August 1st. Both him and Emily move into their apartment by August 1st as well. Will be sad to see him go!! I think Kalyn is sad too. His room will turn into the guest and exercise room. (I asked Ty if I should "keep" his room for him and he politely said "NO"!!)

Shane got moved into HIS one bedroom apartment this weekend. He likes it alot. Doesn't have much stuff, but then again, he really doesn't need much. He will be going to Afghanistan in March so not much longer. I will put his address and Tyler's on here soon.

That's all for now. Until next time...

Jemez Mountain Music Fest





Hey all,

Kalyn and I just returned from the gorgeous Jemez Mountains, to see Tyler and his band play a concert. They are called Kamakaze Death and they were one of several bands playing up there this weekend. Since Tyler asked me to go about a month ago, I decided I better take this opportunity and go since #1 Tyler asked me and #2 Tyler will be moving out soon and I may not get this chance to see him "locally". He plans to keep jamming with his buddies once they all move to Albuquerque, so one never knows what could happen with them. Will they make it big? Who knows....

So here are some pics from the concert today and we had a great time!!

All is well around here....Getting ready to head over to Tj and Diana's for some good ol family fun at the reunion.

Until next time....

Hail Storm today!!

Hey all,

Had an awful hailstorm today!! EVERY car in the Community Bank parking lot had damage on the hoods....YES, that included my Jeep!! I have damage on the hood, roof and the drivers side above and below all the windows.... I have a claims call in and the adjuster is supposed to come check it out between Tuesday and Thursday. Lots of broken windshields throughout town, depending on where your car was parked during the storm. I have a $500 deductible so I will see what the adjuster and my friend Steve, over at Quality Autobody, has to say about the cost/damage. It is the talk of the town today!!!!

Until next time....

4th of July Weekend

Hey all!!

Had a wonderful weekend with my hubby and kids all here for a change!! Shane rolled into LA in the afternoon after a short stop in Santa Fe to get new tires put on his truck and to pick up some snails for the fish tank. Shane stopped by the bank to say hello and then he headed over to Starbucks to see Tyler. He said Tyler greeted him with a hug!!! Then, Shane got home and hung out with Kalyn for a bit. After a short nap, he woke up while I was home (between both jobs) to throw in some laundry and we chatted and caught up. I went to work and Shane and the kids hung out at home.

Saturday am, both Shane and I got up and got ready to head out to the YMCA 5K race!! Shane finished in 26 min and came in 2nd in his age group out of 3!! I did mine in 31 min and came in 5th out of 11 women in my age group. It was a really nice run. After a short visit to Starbucks for a treat and to see Tyler, we went home and got ready for the BBQ. I chopped and prepared food while Shane got the grill ready and decided we needed more propane. We drove uptown and got more propane and also oil and essentials for the truck. Around 1:30, our friend Will and girlfriend Leeanne came by. We ate and chatted and talked tattoos!! Finally around 4, when the party was becoming quiet, Kev and his two friends, Garrett and Sonia, showed up to party!! Kev was being quite obnoxious, but we had a great time. Everyone left around 6 and then we prepared to head down for the fireworks show in White Rock. We had a great day!!

Sunday was spent cleaning Shane's truck, changing the oil and then loading him up with household items as now Shane has been told he needs to find a house to live in. We got all that done and also made it to the movie in the afternoon. We saw "Transformers". It was pretty good...Shane really enjoyed it.

Shane left us this morning around 7. He is almost back to Ft. Riley as we speak. He had a great time and misses us already!!!

Kids had dental appointments this morning and all is well there. No cavaties!! As for me...back to work..got a full week so that I have the weekend off for the Trapp/Webb family reunion. Should be fun...

Have a great week...until next time...
