All by myself

I'm so proud of myself! Sure, I've driven crew trailers by myself without Pigpen, but usually he's behind me in the other truck, or its a quick local race, or its just 2 hours up the road in Delaware. Well yesterday, I drove to ALBANY, NY all by myself with a fully loaded trailer. Things were very much in my favor--the trailer was full, but Pigpen and I were there during loading so we knew things were strapped down well. The weather was beautiful. There was virtually no traffic the route I took (which also included no toll roads since I'm badass). I had Pigpen's truck which has everything you could ever need including on board air (with a compressor), XM radio, a GPS system and a cb radio. Took about 9 hours but it was pretty damn easy!

I even got complimented on my badass driving skills today when I parked the trailer at the race site and unstuck some people without four wheel drive. I can do this by myself! Thanks to Pigpen for teaching me and putting some faith in me and letting me come up here by myself this weekend. Granted--he is flying up tomorrow to drive back with me but I still think he trusts me. :)

An era ends...kinda

Today was my last official day at work. Why am I not sad?
Yesterday was my last day in the office with my boss. She flew to LA today and isn't coming back until after I'm really gone. Saying goodbye was a bit odd, but not terribly since she's coming to the wedding in a few weeks. (Four weeks from tomorrow but no one is counting.)
Four more days of coming into the office to train my replacement and then I turn over my keys to her. There may be drinking that night just for shits and giggles, or maybe we'll head to the therapist for some more marriage counseling. Who knows. :)

The countdown continues

One month until the wedding. YAY!

Lets check in with the to do list:
get the DJ the songs to play
get the final count to the caterer and the cake lady
do seating
make flyers for our neighbors telling them that our guests will be parking in front of their houses that night
do the hair trial run
hem the wedding dress
write thank you notes for the wedding gifts we have received
get the "guest book" ready (its a photo where people will sign the matte)
buy all the soda and juices at Costco
get the marriage license
buy attendant gifts
finalize our vows
print the programs

So, not bad! We're in the home stretch and this wedding is going to kick ass! :)
