What's new. Let's see. We are no longer in Colorado:( We made it to Kansas at the early hours of 2am. While in Colorado we had a great time visiting everybody. Did some site seeing. I took Derek to the Pueblo lake and we walked the river walk in the freezing cold. We had to stop on a coffee shop to get a warm drink and warm up a bit. We went to Garden of the Gods and the Olympic Training Center. Again it was cold. Focus on the Family. Casa Bonita in Denver. Colorado is an outdoor state so anything you do your pretty much outside. Which in the summer is great.

Oh while there are Suv broke. We had power to the windows the radio worked and the lights but it would not start. This made me so unhappy and very stressed. I wanted to scream cry you name it. Not to mention that Derek had gotten laid off of work and hasn't worked for two weeks now. Anyway back to the SUV. We had to call Ford in Pryor to see what the warranty covered. Call insurance to see if we had roadside assistance to come pull our SUV to a Ford dealer here in Colorado Springs. As we talked to dad to see what it could be and how much it could run us it was not looking good. We finally got things figured out. Roadside came and picked it up and we followed them to the shop. We dropped it off at 1pm and they said they would call at 2:30. So 3 came around and we didn't hear anything. So we drove down there. We talked to the guy and they had no clue what was wrong. They said they had to call in a specialist and that they would lets us know as soon as they found something out. (A SPECIALIST Yikes $$$$$) So then I was really sick. But thankfully as we were getting ready to leave we seen it come driving around the side. We got back out and went in they said they found the problem. As I took a deep breath and tried to prepare myself for the worst he began to tell us. It was a short in the wire to the starter. So we sat there while the fixed it. I was shocked when we went to pay. They fixed it for less then they quoted us. Plus they took it threw the car wash. Which it needed very badly. It was so dirty. Plus they washed dad's truck for him too. For free. They took real good care of us. So needless to say it all worked out. Sorry about rambling about that i should have already posted about that. But I haven't had time till now.

So we will find out if there is any work tomorrow. Other wise it is back to Oklahoma. As Derek and I have talked it wouldn't hurt are feeling a bit if we didn't have work this week. We both want to be home in are own bed. We haven't been there since New Years. So if we get to go home we can stay 3 whole nights there before having to head out to Arkansas for Youth Convention. Oh the life of a lineman. I have been sick for about 6 weeks now. Derek had been lucky to not have caught it till today. It is starting to hit him hard now. This morning I woke up with a bad ear ache. I have had everything else but that, so go figure. Guess it was time for that now. Grrr. Well its getting late.
