My ticker's wrong. . .

I would love to be blogging about Andrew getting home and returning to a normal life, but not the case. Andrew ended up extending another week so he would hit his goals. What's dumb, but good, about APX is that once you hit your goals you can get your full pay scale. It can be kind of confusing really. But it was worth it in the long run because he hit his goal last Wednesday. We were celebrating over the phone all day :) These last few weeks have been pretty stressful so it was a really big day for us. Now he's trying to stay motivated and busy. We have been SO blessed and watched out for this summer.
I wasn't planning on riding back with Andrew, but we had some cute little angels that insisted that I go fly out and ride back. So I got my plane ticket paid for! They are so sweet and we love and appreciate them so much. I fly out of Idaho Falls tomorrow after work and get there around 11:30 p.m. Then we get to wake up bright and early and start the journey back. We have to do it pretty fast with no scenic stops, because I have to be back to work on Tuesday. Basically I'm going to be pretty worthless. Even though we'll be driving straight through for 3 days I'm sure we'll make it fun and interesting with lots of good memories!

Almost done!

I just got back from my last and final trip to Florida! Yeah I'm pretty excited to be done traveling and being away from Andrew. He starts the grueling 2600 mile drive back home 2 weeks from Sunday.
While I was there we were able to go to Universal Studios. It was a ton of fun. I've never been to Disney land or anything like that so it was a good experience to finally do it at age 24 :) We didn't take too many pictures cuz we were going, going, going. But here's some that we managed to take while we were there.




Andrew wishes he caught Jaws



I had a car in high school that I named after this here model. . . He didn't last too long. Doc, rest in peace.

After we rode on Popeye (a water ride) Perfect time to take a picture :)

At one of Andrew's job we talked to a customer that was telling us about Florida's rates for residents at Universal Studios. To make a long story short we were able to get the resident's rate and save over $60! It was somewhat worth Andrew living there for 4 months. We also bought an express pass that let us skip to the front of the line. Let me tell ya, well worth the money. We figured we save almost 4 hours of standing in line. Although we did get some pretty nasty looks :) All and all it was a fun thing to do to end the summer. Next fun thing will be seeing Andrew pull up in front of our house!
