Rainy Tuesday

I love rain! I really do. I'm sitting here, on my day off from work, watching the rain fall. Granted not the best day for doing washing, but I can put the stuff on a clothes horse to dry inside so its all good.

I'm feeling great today after getting a proper night's sleep. I think the lack of heat last night contributed to me being able to sleep most of the night through. I woke up once but that was about 7am, and i decided to go back to sleep until 8:30am. A sleep in has been well deserved after the past couple of weeks.

Work has me scheduled for wednesday, thursday, friday, sunday at this stage!! I'm over the moon with the extra hours :) so, happy kiwi. It will mean I wont be around on the net all that much over the next few days, so if i take awhile to reply to emails or comments - please don't worry.

To be honest, not much has been happening lately. We're waiting on patrick's passport to come back from the consulate with his new passport, so we can go to the immigration centre and get either the work visa sorted, or the residency started (we've been told to talk to an immigration officer and get them to decide which would be the better option for us). That should arrive sometime between wednesday and friday, so we'll get the rest of it sorted next week (when i find out what days i'm working). Will let ya know when we do!

well i'd better go, my stomach's rumbling so its time for breakfast (mmmm vegemite on toast!)
see ya!

Its raining....its pouring

Friday 11th January:
Had a wonderful dinner last night and got a good night's sleep so everything is going wonderful today. Got to our delivery place with no hassle and it seems that what damage was caused by the storm last night isn't hindering traffic. Its beautiful and sunny out today, hard to believe how rough things were last night.

Got our weekend load just a few minutes ago, we're heading to Texas which is very cool, I like Texas (though i'm not too fond of traffic in the dallas/ft worth area its two huge cities right next to each other and it makes for really long back ups if there's an accident). Its about a 600 mile run so we'll have a nice leisurely trip over there from Alabama where we're currently at.


Saturday 12th January:
We made it to Louisiana tonight before we decided to stop. We're only about 3 hours from where we need to be on monday so its all good, we can have a relaxing day tomorrow.

It stormed a little today but it was after we'd parked up, so we ran inside and had an early dinner just incase it decided to get worse but it didn't. It rained for awhile, and I think it might actually be down to a light drizzle by now.

I've got a few photos I took the other day to post but I'll try uploading them tomorrow. As for now I'm playing around with a few settings on th blog because it seems people have been having issues trying to comment. I hope I can get it sorted :P because I love hearing from you guys. For some reason it doesn't email you to tell you i've responded, but keep checking back here, I might've!

If you notice a bunch of older posts turning it its because for some reason it saved them as drafts instead of posting them. Bah, silly blog.

Raining...winter pics from our trip to california

Snow drift across the highway in the mountains.



Mountainous area in Wyoming or Nevada, i'm not entirely sure which.




Donner Pass on the way to California, This was taken at the summit... the whole place was surrounded in mist despite the sunny day it was. The highest point is about 7300ft above sea level!
