Mike has to go to Carlsbad, New Mexico this weekend to work and he’s planning on driving. So he asked me if I’d like to take a couple of days vacation next week so I can go with him. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do! We will leave Saturday morning and be back Tuesday evening late. I still have about 46 hours worth of vacation I need to use before the end of the year. And besides, I haven’t had much time with him lately because of his work schedule and mine. So, it will be fun! Erica will be here with grandma … (oh joy, she’s thinking … NOT!!) Heh heh heh heh …

And soon it will be my birthday (the double nickel this year) and shortly after that, Chase’s birthday. He’ll be 26 years old. I think he’s planning to come down here on his birthday weekend so we can celebrate and his sister can take him shopping to get things to decorate his new apartment. Then the following weekend we are driving to see his new apartment and meet up with some friends of ours from Mississippi who will be there to look at the university that their daughter wants to attend next year … which happens to be the university where Chase is on staff.

And that’s about it for now … I’ll give you an update when we get back from New Mexico.
