Bummer Thursday!

Today was a horrible day. I lost my job due to slow business. If anyone knows of anyone hiring right now pass it my way. Thanks. :(

November

Its been a while since we have posted anything. That is because not much is going on with us. However here is a little update. We had the kids for Halloween this year and we had alot of fun. It was suprisingly warm too. Hayden was a court jester and Hannah was a Pirate maiden. I was a fat irish guy in a qilt. Chad wore a jason mask. lol. The kids got plenty of candy and chad and I raided their candy before they went home. I am sure Hannahs candy is all gone by now. Hayden would keep his for years if his mom would let him. He counts it everyday. He is funny.
This year we are going to Colorado for Thanksgiving again. I am so excited too. I love it there and its nice to take a few days and get out of town. We are taking Chads sister Sarah and her daughter with us. Now that we have the Navigator we have extra seats to fit more people. I cant wait.
Not much else is goin on here at our place. We wont have the kids until we go to Colorado so its been pretty quiet here. I am looking for a part time job and I applied at Pier 1 Imports. I should hear from them in the next few days. I really want that job cause I love that store. It is only about a mile from my house too. I work only 4 miles from home so it would be nice to have a part time job even closer.
Chad is working side jobs as usual. Things have become really slow. Plus with Christmas just around the corner, everyone is planning for that instead of fixing up their house.
I do love Chad though. He provides well for us and takes good care of me. He is a wonderful man and a terrific husband and great Father. I hope he knows how much I appreciate him and everything he does for us.
Well thats about it here at our house. Hope everyone is well. Love to all.

The Ghost Tour of Salt Lake City

Ok, so as some of you may or may not be privy to is the fact that we are a ghost hunting duo, so in true fashion October is our favorite month of the year. Well this year we finally went on a professional ghost hunting adventure, ok, so it was a large bus and there were like fifty people with us, but it was still neat to drive and see the sites and hear the stories of the notorious spirits that haunt these buildings. I was somewhat dissappointed that we could not truly experience the buildings (as we were more of a roving freak show that would stop in the middle of traffic to look out the windows as we were hearing the stories) but we did get a lot of insight into where we should go in the future. It's amazing how many haunted tails there are around here, and I'm sure we only heard a few of them as our tour was just two hours long. All in all it was a good time and we had fun. For those of you who do not beleive in the ghosts, I have some photos for you. Anyway, why shut yourself down to the possibility of something outside of our realm.
We are really looking forward to Halloween because this is the first year that we will have the kids for Halloween! They are both very excited as well. Work is, well, what can you say about a dirty terrible four letter word that should never, ever, be uttered upon a weekend.

Happy Birthday!

Yeah!! Its my birthday and I am 30. Woo Hoo!

The Weekend.

Chad and I had a really nice weekend. We actually roughed a whole basement. Chad has taught me a few electrical things so now I can help him and earn money while we are with each other. Its pretty cool. It was a huge basement too. I am pretty proud of myself. I earned alot of money over the weekend. My feet hurt but that is cool. I will be alright.

I started a new job last week as well. It is pretty nice. I help make eye glasses, so if any of you need eye glasses, I get a killer deal on them. I will just need your prescription and the frames and I can make them. I like the people and the job and it is only 4 miles from my house so that makes it all worth it.

We didnt have the kids this weekend but we get them next weekend and I think we will take them to Lagoon. They have been bugging us to take them but have not done so yet. Since we did that side job we figured we could do it. They will be happy. I am hoping that maybe we will be able to get Hayden to go on the Colausses (sp). He is terrified of them. We did get him to go on the white rollercoaster last year. Hannah is our little dare devil. She will ride anything. I may even get her on the "WICKED".

We sold Da 'getter (ford escort wagon) to Shayne. We gave him a really good deal on it so we hope it helps him out. We also would like to wish him the best of luck with all the fury that is packed under the hood. We figured we didnt need 4 cars, one motorcycle, four bikes and one pair of skates, when there are only 2 drivers. And for those of you who have been to the downtown area, or possibly to our house, you would know how the parking situation is, so, I'm sure our neighbors are thrilled as well.

Just a thought!

Its funny the things you learn in a day. Such as I just relearned how to do a cursive capital Q. Its been a long time since I have had to do one of those. Wow!
I also find it funny when you hear that someone who doesnt want anything to do with you anymore read your blog. Interesting. You would think they wouldn't care what was going on in your life. Just a thought!

"Big Pimpin" P-I-M-P

So exciting news for us, we just bought a new Lincoln Navigator. Its a 2000 and it only has 89,000 miles on it and we got it for only $6000. I know with the gas prices it seems absolutely absurd that we would purchase such a beast of the blacktop and the small fact that we already have a SUV that takes you on a scenic tour of all the gas stations in the valley, but, for the price, we couldn't pass it up. I love it. It is so nice and comfy. I checked and it gets from 16 to 18 miles to the gallon. The kids love it as well. The best part is the third seat in the back (of which the kids insisted upon sitting in the WHOLE TIME.)



This weekend we also had a yard sale. It was pretty fun with the kids. All they wanted was the money so they were selling things that they like for it. It ridiculous the power of money with them. We did pretty well, met some interesting characters along the way, and got rid of unwanted things. Now its off to the DI with the rest of the stuff we couldn't sell. All in all we did pretty well. The kids wanted to do it all day but after we didnt have any customers for 2 hours and you could faintly hear someone whistling and tumbleweeds were rolling down the block (come on people, think old westerns here) we figured it was time to pack it up and get on to other things.



Not much is happening with us. Things are very boring at the Wheelwrights. One thing that is constant here at the Wheelwright house is the fact that Hannah is always cracking us up. I had a really nice cake dish with a lid out for sale. It was glass and turned into a punch bowl. Hannah was dusting it off and asked us if it was one of those "Cookie putter in ers". I thought I was gonna die. She cracks us up.
