So as you can tell from my exciting updates, not much is going on here! No new pictures to post either. Sigh. But on a happier note, it looks like Eric will be coming home most weekends!! I can handle that. There is just not much for him to do when he finishes school (which is either Thursday late afternoon or Friday early afternoon). So unless he has a full day of school on Friday (he will every once in a while) he will be coming home. Yahoo!
Did you notice that the countdown is already under 3 months? Okay, so barely but still!
He is absolutely loving the school. He scored a 98% and 100% on his first 2 tests. Nice going babe! He has almost completed all of his testing to get his CDL as well. He loves climbing and when he was home the first time, showed me all his equipment. Here I was thinking that he was fully harnessed in like you were rock climbing. Not the case! He has one strap that goes around the pole and then his "climbers" which strap onto his boots and have a spike on each one. He just sticks the spike into the pole and up he goes! I just have to remember that they have been doing this for years and so it has to be mostly safe! ha ha
Here is a video of what it looks like if you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4pJ8H8ld2Y
He says he is the only one he knows of that does not drink, smoke, or chew or do all 3! ha ha. Made me wonder what kind of work he is getting into! :) He is also the only one from Utah though so that kind of explains part of it. He even "got" to be the DD (designated driver) on Thursday for a bunch of guys. He said it was alright but he definitely does not want to do it every weekend. (Another reason to come home!)
He did some lawn mower maintenance for my parents this weekend and even mowed the lawn and when my mom tried to pay him, he refused the money and said, "Just keep letting Brooke hang out with you and eat dinner with you." Thanks for looking out for me babe!
That is about all that is new with us. He is coming home Thursday night and gets to stay until Monday afternoon! That will be so nice!! I can't wait!
On another note, just a reminder that I will be putting in an Avon order on Thursday so if you think you want anything, just let me know by Wednesday night. Thanks!!
