Bad Bad Blogger

Yes I have not blogged in over a week. I honestly haven't known what to write. I have started a couple of times and then it just hasn't worked out. It was a weird week last week and I didn't want to write anything while I was in that head space anyway. So lets try this again.

Rain Rain and More Rain!

Its been crazy the last couple of days with all this rain in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City which is a couple hours away got something like 10 inches of rain in places in a 24 hour period. There was some crazy pictures on cars flooded under overpasses and fields flooded. Here in Bartlesville we saw something like 3 inches of rain in 12 hours and I was rudely awakened by the early morning storm. For the second time in a month lighting hit so close to the house that it woke me out of dead sleep and scared the crap out of me. So that was a fun wake up call at 3:45 in the morning. But thankfully we had no issues because of it. Now it looks like the heat will get cranked back up for the rest of this week with high 90 temps and heat indexes in the 100's.

Time for a Road Trip

Things are coming together for our trip back to Minnesota for 4th of July weekend. I am getting quite excited but also know there is no way that we are going to be able to see everyone that we want to see. It looks like we are only gonna be in the Cites for one day so that Nicki can get home to be with her family. Certainly understandable and I apologize if we don't get to see you while we are in town. With the amount of driving and the limited amount of time we actually have its gonna be crazy. I think we are going to be staying at the Hyatt in Eden Prairie on Thursday the 1st and would like to get some people together so if you are interested in meeting up let me know. Maybe there is a place we can all go for drinks or something? I don't know...I do know that if anyone where to bring me some Grain Belt Premium Light (the ones in the blue box) I would love you forever and ever! Nicki has been getting more and more homesick lately and I would guess knowing we are getting closer to being there it makes it that much tougher. She isn't used to being away from family like I am so she is still working through it. Its all good though, car is rented, hotel is lined up, and just waiting to actually do the drive. Loading up the iPod with some great stuff and can't wait to hit the road.

Job Updates

Well Thursday is interview #2 at 66 Federal Credit Union. I am nervous and excited but I take solace in the knowledge that I have never not gotten a job that I have actually interviewed for. There have been unanswered applications and resumes but if I can get in the door I have always manged to get a job. I probably just gave myself the broom but if I don't get it then it wasn't meant to be. I am pretty bummed that I was never even talked to about the sports directors job at the radio station that I work at but clearly they didn't want to use me. I think I would have done a fantastic job for them but its there loss. I am pretty bummed to not have a more steady radio job but knowing that was a likely scenario when we moved here it is just something to deal with and move on. Hopefully I will have both the CU job and some part time work at the station when fall sports start back up. Everything will work out as it is supposed to. Anytime we start to think it won't something happens and we know it is a sign that we are on the right track. So fingers crossed for Thursday!

Thats it for me, talk soon!
