WOW! What a weekend. I will start with Friday..... at 5:39 I felt the house start to move in a way I have never felt it before. At first I thought Gunnar was panting and shaking our bed but then our big dog started to go crazy. He was barking and running up and down the stairs. And the earthquake woke up Steve to which he said - What the hell is going on and I said "We are having an earthquake" to which he said "Yeah I think you are right" and rolled over and went back to sleep!

The plan for Friday was we were going to work until 11: 30 and then go get Piper and come home and be in Huntington by 2. Well, in the middle of the night on Thursday I woke up sweating my butt off. So I put our little fan in the window to bring in some cooler air....with that cooler air it brought in the sinus headaches for both of us. Steve's was worse than mine but I still didn't feel good and I wanted to make sure we got rid of our headaches before we had to leave for Indy. So I called in for both of us and we both took meds and went back to bed.

We were alittle late getting to Huntington. But dropping Piper off at Grammy and Grandpa's went pretty smooth. We took her out to play and then we left while she was out there playing so she could've cared less that we left. I am happy to report there were NO tears from mommy when we left. I did get choked up in the afternoon while packing her stuff but I was fine when we dropped her off. Grammy let her play outside all night it sounds like. She ate good for them and she had alittle trouble sleeping. She doesn't know that she is suppose to sleep when you stick her in a kingsize bed. But she ended up sleeping and getting up early the next morning. It sounded like the grandparents had a great time with her being there. And now that I have left her over night I am already for another night!!! I told Steve yesterday coming home I could have another day already.....

We headed to Indy and got to our hotel around 4ish. We dropped off all our stuff and headed downtown to shop and cruise around. We hit the circle center mall and walked around and we were hungry at 5 so we headed to the Weber Grill. We did have reservations for 6 but they were able to seat us early. It was pretty good food and we each had a couple of beers so that was relaxing too. After dinner we went back to the mall for dessert. I had a tollhouse cookie and Steve ate a cinnabon. It was nice. I did call home at that time to check on my brat. Just because we were heading to the concert and I didn't want to call from there and once it started I wasn't going to call. Piper was fine. Outside playing and having a ball.

The concert was GREAT! Michael Buble` is a nerdy cute guy. I think even Steve didn't mind it once he started. It was so nice to be away and just have some us time and even just some me time too. We planned to sleep in on Saturday and just take our time. Well, Ashley calls us at 6:45 to see if we went to the concert last night....DUH! She knew we were going and staying in Indy that is why their mom traded us weekends. Sometimes I think she takes a "NO COMMON SENSE" pill every morning. But I wasn't ready to get up yet so I went back to sleep and slept till 8:45 which meant by time we both go cleaned up we missed the free breakfast. Oh well. I am glad I didn't know the breakfast hours for sure because then I would've gotten up early and not slept in and took my time. We stopped at Cracker Barrel and ate a huge breakfast and headed for Huntington.

Last night I didn't feel like doing much. Just been doing laundry and trying to get it done and put away for the week. I was so mad last night. I was hungry for pizza and this little pizza joint down the street sounded good to me so we headed out for pizza. It took forever to get it and after we ate it make me feel sick. It was really greasy. It makes me so mad when something sounds good and after you get it - it sucked and it cost us $36 for the pizza that was shit! I just should've made myself make a homemade one and save us the stomach ache and MONEY!! I get pissed when we eat out and the food sucks. I can make sucky food at home! We came home and Piper played outside for a bit and then it was bath and bedtime.

We watched Juno last night. It was a good movie. I really hope that Piper isn't as witty as that 16 year old girl was. She had lots of little one liners to throw right back at everybody. Good movie - if you haven't seen it - check it out.

Today Steve is up doing trail maintenance on the trail in Winona Lake. I hope he comes home with some info about Eric. Steve and I speculated the WHOLE way to Indy from Huntington on WHY Eric would've done something like this. We came up with many different scenarios but still none that we would've EVER expected behavior like this from our friend. If we get any info I will try to post it.
