Final Destination Unknown...

Ok so we made it to Charlotte just fine, and after a short nap we are on the road again. This time for Greenville to hang with friends BBQ and hit up the pool. The accomidations on this trip seem to be bit less than my last. No Caviar or Grey Poupon. And the driving reminds me of the proverbial bat on it's way out of hell.

Ohh God our eyes

The sun rises over Knoxville and blinds us both. After a quick pee break at one of those shady gas stations were the restrooms are on the outside and suppose to be locked but of course the locks are busted and the restroom trashed we are back on the road. I have relanquished driving duties for I be quite sleepy. Ashville is the next big city on route so we got some fun mountain driving ahead of us ohh joy.

Metropolis


Interesting to note there are two metropolis' between st Louis and Charlotte. One has a giant Superman statue. A tall man would hit just below the man of steel's...

Here is the OTHER city's Superman. Heeyyyy...he looks kind of familiar!

On the road agian


After five minutes on the road we have already entered our second state. That's not saying much when you live right next to the Mississippi River.

Ten minutes down the road and I had to have classic road trip food... The Ubiquitous Golden Arches.

Restart the blog

Well I got an iPhone for my birthday from Kim. Not that I cared to join the not very exclusive club, but I just needed a new phone, and it is frankly the cheapest smart phone out there right now. So here I am trying this blogging app on my iPhone. Now only if I can figure out how to add pictures I will add one I took on the phone while at work....


Well so far I can't post pictures via the phone but I can add them in later from my PC.. so here is that snazzy picture of me I was talking about.

Valentine’s Day Proposal

We had an eventful Valentine’s Day this year. I proposed to Kim. She thankfully said yes. We had a romantic evening to ourselves with flowers and chocolate covered strawberries and the like, it was a nice time and an ideal time to pop the question. I had been holding on to the ring for awhile waiting for the time to be right. I guess I am a romantic at heart in that regard. But I think the wait was well worth it.



One thing that I had not been expecting was all of the thousands of questions from the people we have told. Do you honestly think in less than 24 hours later we are already going to have a date chosen? Maybe people expect us to be prepared more, but everyone that knows me must know I am a bit of a procrastinator. Right now we are thinking over a 2010 wedding somewhere between March and May. Things are really up in the air in our life right now to try to pull something together sooner. We don’t expect to be in Saint Louis come a year from now so we probably won’t have it here. To save on traveling for all we are thinking Charlotte(which is our target destination for living as well by then.. but who knows)


Just two days later now and I have already seen a lot of dress choices, talked about venues, indoor or outdoor, catering, photographer, who to include in the wedding party and the like. Mind you no actual definite plans are being made I think we are just feeling out each other’s likes and dislikes. However the instant dive in caught me a bit by surprise.
But everything is good we are happy. I hope everyone else had a great valentine’s weekend as well.

Snow Days

So we just started getting a lot of Snow in Saint Louis. It is interesting. It is the first time I have had to deal with this type of weather as a working citizen. The roads seem to get plowed once in the morning and once before 5pm and then ignored. The car is easy to deal with if it is just snow, since that wipes right off, it is the sleet and freezing rain that can be annoying. We did have an ice storm a couple weeks ago, and I admit I did slide a small bit at an intersection, but nothing serious. The snow is still fun though. We did go out into a little bit tonight to play around. Might try to make a snowman tomarrow.
