when mike's gone & birthday wishes. . .

when mike's gone, bad things happen. he has been training in SLC for the past couple of months, so he leaves at 6am and gets home around 7pm. anyway- the last time he was there, i got a flat tire in the parking lot at school. me being the completely non-emotional gal that i am (not). . . i just sat there and cried. why couldn't this happen when mike was here to help me?! when i called mike he asked if i knew how to change a tire and i just laughed. no, i don't know how to change a tire. i cook, clean, do laundry- boys change the tires! :) but thanks to our friend phil, the tire was fixed and i recovered from the trauma.

mike left for SLC again yesterday morning, and to make a long story short, i ended up locked out of the house, so i had no car keys and no way to get inside. (needless to say- we will be getting a spare house key made pronto!) luckily my mom was here in logan and drove me out to wellsville so i could borrow my mother in law's truck and make it to school & work. i have the greatest family and in laws. one good thing about it all- there is a handicapped sticker in my mother in law's truck so i got a suh-weet parking spot on campus. i'll be very glad when mike's done going to SLC and closer to home.

i would like to leave you with a picture of lovely miss lisa who is turning the big 2-2 today. she is one of my favorite girls and i'm sad we don't get to see each other more. we've had lots of fun going to concerts, taking a crazy road trip to vegas, and i'm pretty sure we were the only people who watched the martha stewart apprentice on TV. Happy Birthday Lis!
