Trip to Illinois

This weekend we went to Illinois for a demo derby. Yes you read that right! We left at about 10am on Friday and finally got down there at 4:30. We went to what's called Metal Mayhem, this is a derby against the states. Friday night was a good show but did we get wet! They got about 3 inches of rain within an hour and a half. Everything was flooded and very muddy.

The night show was cool because of all of the fire coming out of the headers on the motor.

Saturday it was beautiful, and there were lots of roll-overs.

I just like this picture so I had to put it in there.
And this is what we got to look at all weekend. Yes it is a nuclear power plant.

Feeling Adventurous!

So the other day I was feeling a little adventurous, so I finally made my tattoo appointment. As some of you know I had put off getting my tattoo for about two and half years because I don't like needles. Well to tell you the truth, it wasn't that bad!! I wanted to get something that means a lot to me, so of course I picked something that dealt with music. Here are some pictures of my tattoo.

It is a treble cleff upside down that meets with a bass cleff to make a heart. Then I had them put a couple of music notes around it. The reason I got it on the top of my foot is because I can't have a tattoo showing, well your not supposed to at least.

WooHoo!!!! I did it!

This past weekend was very very long! I had to work on Friday, which was fine, however before my National Registry test date got changed I had picked up some hours on Friday night. Call me crazy but I kept the hours! So on Friday I worked from 4pm to 2am, yes 2am! I do this often so it shouldn't bother me, but my test was rescheduled for Saturday at 8:15am in Rice Lake! So I worked until 2, got home slept until 5:15 and we were on the road by 5:45!!! So you can do the math, that ain't a lot of sleep. I was so nervous because I didn't feel ready because I was so tired! Good news though, I passed with flying colors!! I was done at about 12:30 and again we were on the road. We stopped by mom and dads house, and I guess I took like 20 min nap in the lawn chair, then we went out to eat to celebrate, had a couple drinks and then Jordy and I went out after to celebrate. It was a very long day, but it was all so worth it, because I am now an EMT!

Graduation-Jordy's little brother

On the 22nd we had Medford's Graduation for Jordy's little brother Josh. I can't believe that he is out of school now! It seems like just yesterday that I would see him in the hallway when he first started high school. Man it sure doesn't feel like I have been out of school for 2 years already! Jordy and I are so proud of him!

Here is Josh and our friend Tori. I love this picture!

Me, Josh and Macie.....he was calling us his sisters that night.

Here is Josh with his cake on Saturday at his Graduation party....and yes that is a raider red mohawk!

And last but not the least Jesse, Josh and Jordy.
