Time with friends and family

Well after we rolled into the drive last Sunday, there hasn't been much time for rest. It is amazing how much mail there is to answer and the laundry, don't even get me started. It is one of those things where a couple of weeks sounds like we can get a lot done, but here it is a week into it and I am not even close to ready to hit the road again for a month.

There wasn't any time to rest as Chris and Mike installed our new awning for the Embry-Riddle trailer. We will debut it in Chicago for the next race. They worked very hard and I can't wait to use it at the track. Mike and Alli spent the week with us and we had a lot of fun. It was sad to see them head home to Georgia, because Chris would now look to me for the help.

I do hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. We spent it at my best friends Trish's house on the lake enjoying great food and a wonderful fireworks show. I did of course try and show off that I am NOT an old lady by try to blast down the water slide and beat my son. Well all I ended up is hurting my pride and my knee. Good night. As I was limping back up to the pool trying not to show the pain on my face I decided to spend the rest of the day holding down a chair.

The next day was Chris's birthday and we spent the morning relaxing and getting ready for his birthday surprise. Now in the past I have really gone all out, for example, I sent him skydiving, we went on a cruise and this year I bought us tickets to Blue Man Group at Universal Studios in Orlando. He has wanted to see them for a while and I figured this was the chance. It was very very cool. I better start planning next years present.

Sunday was part two of the birthday present. He has wanted the garage painted so first thing the whole family (including Nitro) woke up and started the day painting. It only took us 8 hours to prep paint and put back to order, but man was he happy. We then went to eat with some neighbors that we hadn't seen in a while. All in all a great day.

Now I am sure a lot of you have already gone to see the new movie Hancock, but we never do things on time, so off to the movies and it was pretty cool. I won't spoil it, but a great surprise.

Now we are back home watching Pinks All Out enjoying the rest of the night. Soon it will be back on the road and we better enjoy this while we can. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Make sure you check out the schedule, we would love to see you at the races!!!
luv ya,
