Not again...

It's getting to be that time of the year again. Spring. The time that sucks the most for us in the fertilizer/chemical business. It will be a nice change of pace having full days of work. But, full days of working 6am-8 or 9pm just suck. Especially when those days are 6 days a week for what seems like months. Just this morning the boss said... "I think we are going to work until noon tomorrow." Aww man, not Saturday! That really puts a damper on Fridays. But it is what it is, and once I get back in the routine of working all day, getting a little sleep, going to work real early, and repeat, I'll get used to it.

Awesome news is, we are just over a week away from leaving for our youth Impact missions trip to Galveston, TX. I am getting really excited, and I believe it will be an awesome experience!

Just thought that I better throw another post on here for the month.

Catch ya later.

If you like it then you better put a ring on it...

Well it has been almost a month since the last post, but suprisingly it was a fairly quiet February.  Had a couple different meeting here and there for work.  Went to the ENT specialist a couple times.  He still isn't quite sure what is going on up there, but he thinks that it may be allergies.  They pulled blood last time I was there and sent me home a 4 page questionare to get an idea where to start testing my blood.  I just checked in with them today, and we must have been on the same page, because the lady had just left a message on the home phone wanting to make another appointment and that the results must be in.  Not sure if they are positive for anything or not, but I am kind of hoping that they find something, just so that we can start some sort of medicine or help relieve some of my sinus pressure.

About two weeks ago or so, I headed down to Purdue with Meg's family to enjoy her HTM management night dinner.  It was basically the capstone of her college career, and her dinner went beautifully.  She told me here recently that she got her grade and of course she got an A... and a high A at that.  I'm very proud of her and very happy that she has done so well in her courses.

Hmmm.... trying to think of any other exciting news that happened recently.

Dad did my taxes and I am getting some money back, that is pretty exciting....

hmmm...

I asked Meg to marry me...

hmmm...

I suppose I better revist that last one.  You heard me right, I did it, I took the plunge.  Saturday night we were in Carmel, and I took Meg to a beautiful little local restaurant called the Glass Chimney.  I had talked to them earlier in the week and they were expecting us.  They had a rose set at her place setting, and even then, Meg wasn't tipped off.  We had a wonderful meal with the our main courses being stuffed chicken breast for her, and canadian walleye for me.  The waiter then asked us for if wanted dessert, and we said yes, and he hurried off to get the dessert menu.  She opened hers up and started looking at the desserts, and I was little confused because I thought that there was going to be something special in the menu.  Then the waiter pointed out that the special dessert of the night was in the upper left part of the menu and Meg looked and saw printed in the menu, "Meghan, will you marry me?"  The rest is history, but we did enjoy some yummy bananas foster.  We are still tossing around the idea of a late fall wedding, so there is a potential for a lot of things happening here still this year.

Pics hopefully... well if you click on them, they will open so you can fully see them... not sure how to really post pics on here, I am kinda new to the internet...
