Am I crazy or what....

I can't believe my son is old enough to have a learners permit... aaack! In some ways it will be nice for him to be driving in others OMG scaaaary! He took me for a little drive this afternoon and to be honest no really scary moments... we even pulled up and each got a frappe' then took a drive around the lake... Ryan doing all the driving... so far he is doing great... but no freeway driving yet... I'm not ready for that..lol!
So how is everyone doing this fine Memorial Day... it's been beautiful weather here all weekend and I think should be that way most of the week... Woooo Hoooo! I hope the weather is good when Josh and I go to Mt. Rushmore next Saturday ;)
I think I already wrote today... awww life... Peace Out all... G

Big Mountain ... Beka a nice day of skiing

Garbage Day

Tuesday ... time to stuff the garbage can with as much useless junk I can possibly get in the can..haha... I have gotten rid of so much junk since I started packing to move back to WA... I figure if I haven't worn it, used it, or looked at it in over a year it better have some serious sentimental value or it's GONE!
Josh is all for getting rid of junk... the last two times he was home we took his truck to the dump overflowing with odds and ends... I begged to hold on to a few of the things... with any excuse I could come up with for why I needed to keep them...haha... then after he went back on the road I ended up throwing half of it out anyway! Stuff that is worth anything at all I have taken to the thrift store so someone else can fill thier home with more useless junk..haha, you know what they say one mans junk is another mans treasure!
My queen size mattresses are going to the garbage dump right before we leave... they are still comfortable and we have a feather bed on it... but if you flip the mattress there is a big bad mean lookin' coil sticking through the mattress that could hurt someone, probably me...plus they are soooo old... out with the old in with the new... Josh being 6'7" his feet always hang off... sooooooo we bought a brand new California King size mattress... it will be delivered to our new house... I will probably get lost in that HUGE bed...
Well new subject... Ryan is home with a sore throat today... personally I think he could've made it to school but he does seem to have a low grade fever too... his buddy Dylan had this same thing and I guess it's been going around school... man I hope it's not strept throat, just what we need strept going through the house... aaack!
Josh is still in Toronoto... he got stuck there on Monday as they couldn't deliver thier load cause it was a National Holiday there.. Victoria Day... so everything was closed... so haven't talked to him since yesterday, I'm not sure when he will make it back to the states yet!
Well just wanted to check in ... back to packing... G

Winnie our movie star dog...haha 

Here we are, just woke up NEED COFFEE!  

Life is what happens when you are making other plans..

One thing I have learned about life... don't ever plan it... it seems I have tried to do that too many times and well I give up... as they say life is something that happens when you are making plans...
I was getting used to being a truck drivers girlfriend... haha yea right.. its a good way to really get to know each other as the cell to cell phone calls makes you have to talk... but there are also the times you want to throw your phone against a wall cause a phone can't reach out and hug you when you are having a bad day or a bad moment...
Josh and I had done plenty of talking about things to come... and the plan for him was to drive over the road long haul for 5 years make money and buy a home and things he wanted... and well me I had all that... look where it got me..HAHA! Now here I am starting completely over in life, I found this great guy, niether of us were looking ok so the timing may not have been perfect but life is life... so I think hmmm how ironic I found someone that I really love and he is never here... once a month for 4 days or 5 just flies by! So after all the talking Josh also rearranged his plan to ok 2 and a half years long haul then he is around more... lets say we compromised... but to be honest I kind of felt like maybe he was just doing that to please me... and I didn't feel that great about it...
Until the other morning... I realized this guy he really loves me... and he's pretty dang fond of the kids too... I was starting to think I can make it another 2 and a half years ... but the other day we had a bad moment... as you do when you are apart as long as we are... lets say we had a bad 24 hours... anyhoo of course we are doing much better seems sometimes you have to go through the hard stuff to get to the stuff that is real... to the heart of the matter so to speak... well Josh is going to take a 4 to 8 week summer leave of absence from long haul to help get us all settled in our new home and my new job etc... he will probably get a local job for that time so we will both be working... but how nice it will be to have him around for a while... I am like a little kid that can't wait to bring her puppy home... haha... I miss him and can't wait till he pulls up on June 3rd... so to all my family that hasn't met Josh yet... you will this summer... ;) he is going to be around for a while .. wooo hooo!
Ok so tonight I am writing a novel... guess I got caught up... kids will be home from thier dads at 6:45 am guess I better catch myself some zzzz's... Josh is on his way to Toronto... Peace out ya'll hehehehe!

Our Crazy Life continued

Hello friends and family...you'll have to bear with me as this bloggin stuff is new to me and I am still confused as to what the heck I'm doing... It's Sunday morn ... a rainy Sunday morn in Montana... but at least everything is green and beautiful! I am sittin here with my cup of coffee writing with Josh on the cell phone driving through Nebraska on his way to Toronto Ontario... I go to bed and he's in Denver I wake up and he's almost to Iowa... that man is a fast mover...
The kids are at thier dads this weekend so its kind of peaceful this morning... the dogs have found thier way to my bed and a clean pile of clothes to lay on to shed all over, gotta love the dogs...hehe! Josh says awwwwwww Winnie , sometimes I think Josh loves the dog more then me! (Just Joshin)hehehe!
Anyhoo all is well in life at the moment... crisis arise and crisis go and we always come thru the other side.. I will let you know when Ryan is 18 how we fared through that one... haha... 14 now and knows everything there is to know...

Ryan goofin around 

Beka Boo got her hair done .. lol 

Hello... it's me Gina... just thought I would check this bloggin out.. hehe! Well today Josh and I decided he was going to take the summer off from long haul truckin while we move from Montana to Washington... to be honest I can't wait... I can't wait to have that tall hunk of a man around for a while...;) I miss him when he is on the road... so this is kinda exciting to me... I know Beka will be excited... Ryan is 14 he doesn't show much emotion either way on anything like that...hehe!
