Camping and another BDay...

So this weekend the fiancee and I are off to go camping...We are going to some state park in the middle of nowhere...I have somehow convinced her that we should bring our bikes and go for a ride one of the days!

Anyway, it also is in celebration of her birthday coming up! The big 2-5....that's right, we are 1/2 your age Aunt...LOL

Anyway, it should be a good time, and I'm hoping I get some good pictures to display to everyone. Other than that, this summer is turning out to be super busy - we have Mr. ID and (soon to be Mrs. ID) - but for now I'll nickname her Marzipan - mostly because that is what I think of when I see her last name - haha...anyway, they are getting married in September - so we will have his bachelor party, her bachelorette party, her bridal shower (not that I'm going...), the fiancees sister is getting married - so there is her bachelorette party and her bridal shower (again, things I don't have to go to/worry about), her cousin is getting married, both our siblings are graduating college, were going to Cali to visit a bunch of relatives for that....wow - life sure got krayzie...Hey everyone in Cali - you will officially get to meet the fiancee when we are out there for the younger big bro's graduation!

But for now, we will take it slow - as this weekend camping trip might our only break until, well, middle of October......

Back from Turkey...

The fiance got home last night...plane from NY was delayed a little bit, but it wasn't terrible - for me...haha - her 11.5 hour flight, however, was a little better than completely terrible...

She keeps saying how much she "misses me" - I don't even know what that means (kidding)...Ultimately, I guess I did miss her picking everything up, cleaning nearly everything, and giving me back scratches at night...haha - looks like all I do is "take take take", huh? That's probably true...but I did wash her car and fill it up with gas...that's gotta count for something, right?...

I am hoping the weather cooperates this weekend, so hopefully we can put in some good miles on the bike - temps are staying high enough during the night that we can get up early in the morning. However, being out in the middle of no where, with all the trees cut down for corn fields, makes any little amount of wind that much worse...of course, when you are dying for some sort of breeze there is zero wind, 70% humidity, and its 89F...OHIO....yeah

Have a good holiday weekend everyone!

Istanbul?

So, the fiance is off to Turkey for 10 days...

She needs to go over there and show the factory how to do their job...haha, if only it was that easy. Turns out, the company she works for doesn't really do the typical standards/market trends with regards to measurements....and the factory, who has many clients, can't quite get it right.

So, fiance, and a co-worker are heading off there..

PARTY AT MY PLACE FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS!!! hahaha

Anyway, I am pretty jealous - we looked at plane tickets out there, and it's only $830 for a flight - which I guess wouldn't be terrible, and I get a free place to stay...eh...I just started my new contract 6 days ago - I figure I shouldn't be taking vacation days quite yet.

Here is to wishing her a safe and fun trip (albeit she will be "working" - I am sure they will find some good things to do)!

Happy 50th BDAY!!!

This one goes out to my aunt on my mom's side....

It's the Hawaii 5-0...a special one, haha!!!

You have officially become an "old" person - and I am here to share it with the small amount of people that read this!!

Congrats!
