This weekend I was going to attempt another flying lesson, I studied and prepared myself all day saturday for it and was ready by Sunday afternoon, but it turns out that it was too cold outside and it was raining a little bit and we would have probably had some issues with icing so we had to cancel it. I was pretty sad. I ended up rescheduling for this coming Saturday but it wasn't the best time at all. Now I have to deal with conflicts of schedules and stuff. I really hope it works out this time though. I'm ready to get this lesson overwith. It has to be a flight of 250 miles total so it is going to be a long one. On the bright side of not flying this weekend it gave me a chance to hang out with Allie for awhile on Sunday and we watched a bunch of episoded of House. Becca joined us for some of them also. Monday was I back at work and it was a pretty busy morning yesterday there, it kind of died down a little by the end of the day though. We were going to have a birthday party thing for Chuck yesterday but turns out that we had to reschedule it to Tuesday night instead. So tonight was the birthday party for Chuck and after work I headed on over to their house and we all had Fondue for dinner and some really good chocolate pie for dessert. It was a really good and delicious meal. Afterwards I hooked up the new surround sound system I got him for his birthday to his new TV and we played with that a little bit before we all left for the night. It was a really fun evening. I should probalby head on to bed now though. I have to wake up at 5:30 to meet my pastor at 6:30 in the morning. So I'm going to do just that. Night!

Well, welcome to the new year everybody. This will be the year I get married so I'm pretty excited about this year. Allie and I were going to celebrate the year in by going bowling with her brother RJ but turns out we couldn't do that after all. So instead we went to some of RJ's friends house and we kind of had a little get together there It was fun while we were there but Allie wasn't feeling very well at all so we ended up leaving early and I took her home to just lay on the couch and relax some while we watched the new year celebrations on TV. Turns out we both fell asleep watching it though so we completely missed the NY ball drop and wishing each other a happy new year. It was pretty sad. On New Years day I ended up going back to the house and working in the yard. I went through and cleaned up the edge of the property on both sides of the house and got rid of all kind of trash that was buried under weeds and trees and brush and roots and all kind of random stuff on both sides. But now it looks pretty good and it expanded the usable property about 4 feet on each side of the house. I actually didn't get both sides finished on New years though I had to finish the job on Saturday because it got dark. The rest of the week was pretty typical. I stayed pretty busy at work and in the evenings I had a few projects I needed to work on back at my apartment. And a few computers to fix from friends of mine. It turned out to be a pretty productive week though in my opinion. On Saturday while I was working in the yard Allie took the girls out to go dress shopping to pick out thier dress for the wedding I really like what she picked out. It looks pretty cool. Shortly after getting back from that, she headed straight down to NC to visit with her Family down there for her Grandmas birthday. She ended up being gone until Sunday Evening. Sunday I went to church in the morning and then took Becca out to lunch sunday afternoon. I didn't really hang out with her much after that though because I had to do a few things back at my apartment and then be back at my church later that evening for a meeting. My meeting ended up going until around 9:00 though then I had to stop in at Allie's parents house for another thing and didn't really leave there until a little before 10:00. Since it was so late I didn't end up going over to see Allie that night as she was back from her dads by then so that was kind of sad. But I still had to run home and type up some stuff from our meeting we had that night. I didn't really get to bed until after 11 as it was. This coming week I can't really think of anything special that is going to happen. Saturday I'm going to try and do another flight lesson though. This one will be the long flight I'm kind of anxious to just get it over with. Its going to be a pretty expensive one though since it is so long. I hope everything goes smoothly with it though. Anyway thats it for now. I'll probably write more at the end of the week unless something exciting happens sooner then that. Until then!
