So tonight I was driving home, north on 35W right after I passed 694.  I was in the far left lane watching the car in front of me.  (It was snowing, the roads were slushy, and traffic was about 45 mph).  So while I’m driving and watching the car in front of me I see a car ahead of me and off to my left a little bit.

It’s coming right for me.  It spins and I see it’s side, and the back of it.  It’s coming right at me (on the other side of the road).  The next thing I know the car is hitting the wire barrier and the stakes that hold the wire are flying, not far from my car.  The car took out about four of them.  The car hit the barrier right when I was driving past.  If the barrier wasn’t there it would have been an interesting time.

So that was my fun ride home.  Otherwise it was pretty uneventful.  I stopped for gas.  My car was low on it and tomorrow the gas tax goes into effect.  So I figured now’s the time to buy!

Now I’m sitting my our white chair watching the Twins game on TV and the snow falling and blowing outside.  Just think in 2010 we could watch Opening Day in the snow in our outdoor stadium!  Rock on.

How’s it going?  I must say things are rocking here!

We went up to the LP this weekend.  Weren’t we just there last weekend?  Why yes, yes we were.  But we left my car there on blocks, because the parts weren’t all there to fix it.  So we went back up, the parts were there, and dad and I fixed it.  Thanks dad!  It actually wasn’t hard to fix.  It only took about an hour or so.  It went smoother than I thought.

We came back home last night.  We brought Chad back down to school, and hung out in the Elk River with Beth’s sister and brother-in-law for a bit.  Good times.

Today has been low-key, which is nice.  The next couple of weekends will be busy, depending on the weather I guess.  Today we went to church and stayed for Bible Study afterward.  We were able to meet more people, and I really enjoyed it.  It was a little more fun and engaging than other Sunday Morning Bible Studies I’ve been to.  Next week we start our membership class there.  It’s nice to finally be joining a church.

After church we came home, and hung out.  We’ve been in the habit lately of coming home from church and each doing some reading.  Granted for Beth it’s ususally reading for fun, and for me it’s for class.  But it’s still kind of nice to just sit and read.  It’ll be great to be able to do that on the porch before long!  This afternoon we both fell asleep for about three hours.  Whoops!  But the nap was nice.

We were able to get outside this afternoon.  We got some firewood unloaded from my trunk.  We went for a walk.  I also planned a few things to work on in the yard.  The fence needs to be fixed, and we need some grass seed.  So those projects will keep me pretty busy.  I like being a handyman.  It’s kind of fun to fix stuff.  You never know how handy you are until you have to be.

With that I’ll leave ya’ll.  Have a great week.  I shall try to do the same.

It’s all around nice, but I really like it for sports.  I don’t follow NCAA Basketball a lot, but I do like to watch the Tournaments.  Because I have today off, it’s a nice day to watch those.  It’s kind of nice just relaxing.  I’ve been looking forward to this day off for a while!

We’ll be heading up to the LP this weekend for Easter.  My dad is going to help me fix the struts on my car.  Long story short: I hit a big pothole and one of them went kaput.    So I’ve been driving with it the last day or so and it’s been a little annoying.  But doing it myself will save about $300.  So that’s always nice.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break, and Easter Weekend.  I’ll probably take some pictures, and we’ll get them up.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted pictures.  Sorry.  Maybe.

They’re nice.  Work has been busy, and so it’s nice to have a break.  If only it were a little warmer outside I could enjoy our deck!  Wouldn’t that be nice?

I have been enjoying the warmer weather though.  Beth and I have been going out for walks and having fun enjoying the nice neighborhood.  We’re getting to see more of it now.  We really like it.

Today after the secretary at church held a gathering for the young couples in church.  That was pretty fun.  I got to meet about 4 other couples that are all in their twenties or so.  It’s nice to start to get connected, and make more friends.  And most of them live close by, which is also helpful.  Beth couldn’t be there because she had to work, but this might turn into a monthly thing.  I like that idea.

For those of you on Spring Break: I’m a little jealous.  (I was hanging out with Roelf and Pat this weekend and we relived some of our fun spring break memories to Cali.  Good times.  Good times.)  But enjoy your time in the sun.

That’s me tonight.  It’s a nice change.  although the relaxing weekend was quite fun as well.  It seems like it was our first truly relaxing together in a long time.

Friday I picked up my parents from the airport.  Their plane was late so we didn’t get back here til like 7:30.  We hung out that night and they told us their fun stories of Texas.  It sounded warm and fun.  I’m jealous.

Saturday morning the parents left at about 10 am.  So we hung out.  Took a nap.  Then we went out to a movie and dinner.  We saw The Other Boleyn Girl.  Beth had just read the book and she enjoyed it.  The movie was alright.  Natalie Portman was in it, so that rocks.  But I don’t think I would have put her in that role.  It didn’t seem to fit her.

Sunday was DST.  We set the clocks ahead before we went to bed.  Not a big deal.  We were still late for church though.  We’ve been going there for nearly 4 months, and we still cannot remember when church is.  Oh well.  Then it was home to relax and do some reading.  We both read for most of the afternoon.  Granted mine was homework.

Brad and Bethany came over for dinner, which was fun.  Their a fun couple.  And they’re getting married in October!  Congrats to them.  We had a good evening.  Except Bethany didn’t like the game we played (she lost, that could be why).

So tonight I got home from work (and boy was I glad to get out of there today) and got to work on some of the projects around here.  My drivers side rear window on my car was falling down.  Similar to what happened to my passenger side rear window a few years ago.  So I fixed the window.

After that I got out my drill and drilled a hole in the kitchen floor so we could hook up our automatic ice maker.  That was not nearly as much work as it could have been.  Mainly because the previous owner had tapped the pipe in the basement for other reasons which I’m not sure of.  So basically it was just drilling a hole in the kitchen floor and running the pipe through it.  Now we have ice automatically made for us.  Sweet.

So that’s my fun evening.  Now I’m relaxing.  I should read some homework.  But that will come shortly.   I need to blog more, so here it is.  Happy reading!

Have a great week!
