Missing my girls

So last friday I did something I've never done before..... I know, I know, what the hell could that be?

I called in sick
never done that before.

not only that, I called in sick when I wasn't.
I stayed home with my wife, daughter, sister in law, her husband, my mother in law and my father in law and packed up a Penske truck with nearly all of our worldly possesions.

we're moving to St. George Utah

drove out saturday
took a damn long time but my father in law rode with me. we had a lot to talk about and an Ipod with 27 hours of music on shuffle so it wasn't too bad.

unpacked the truck into a storage shed Sunday
took a bunch of stuff for M&A to the inlaws

painted, cleaned, patched drywall, at the condo on sunday so we can rent it out again
can't move in there with dogs :(

painted, cleaned some more and put up for rent signs on monday morning (yep, did the "sick" thing again ... tee hee hee)

said gbye to M&A
drove the penske to vegas
caught a $60 cab ride to the airport (got a reciept for $250)
skulled 3 out of 4 warm busch lights before getting through security
security took the 4th
bought a Quiznos TBG near the gate and found a $1 gambling voucher waiting for it to be made
put it in a slot machine
it gave me back a $259 voucher (viva Las Vegas)
cashed it in, caught my flight, ate in Denver, flew to springs, tried to play the "I lost my parking stub" game, paid full price anyway (technology gets you every time), stopped at a store to buy a gatoraide and a 113 mil powerball lottery ticket (24 29 30 33 54 P 37)

6 am safety meeting started my tuesday
spent the rest of the day working with curtis to put stucco popouts around the new windows and doors

slept til 7am wed
very busy with work (two sick days followed by a day of working stucco on my house so I had to do some catchup)

now I'm sitting at the dining room table missing those girls

Video night at the Miller residence

A couple of pictures that were fun to take

The perfect Sunday





















Aud mugs for the camera

Aud raises a ruckus

Got home from work tonight to find a wife that looked worn out. Aud spent all day at the sitters but just seemed to be whinney as all get out. I stuck her in the bouncer and started some dinner. She banged on the bouncer and jumped up and down and yelled right along with her dad. I think the wife's gonna have two loud mouths on her hands as soon as the young one learns to talk.....

should be fun

Why start?

I've been toying with the idea of doing one of these since my cousin Lindsay emailed me and told me about hers. I put it out of my mind until Becca did the same. So here goes nothing

Thanks for the motivation
