Friday Update

The weekend is upon us. Thomas will drive down this afternoon to pickup Ashley. She his going to spend the weekend on the Wartburg campus to get a taste of college life. Doug, hopefully Chloe and I will be driving up to Waverly Saturday, so we can all go out to eat at the Martin Brandenburg Restaurant.

Yesterday was a good day. I learned how to scan documents at work. The printer, copy, fax, scanner machine at work now has a button with my name on it for sending scans to my Outlook email. Doug had a good day as well, he and Johnny went to Iowa City. Chloe now has a computer desk and kick-ass chair in her room. We also have a nice little coffee table in the day kitchen.

Ashley had her first real drive in the snow last night. She made it home without any problems. She said she drove a little slower and never slid once. On the other hand, when Doug was driving me home from work we saw the aftermath off several accidents, bad drivers (especially the old man in the van and someone in a truck). We also saw an actual accident happen. An Explorer was waiting to back out from the curb after having slid through an intersection, when another car did not have control and the side of the car slid across the Explorers back bumper. It just goes to show no matter how much you are in control, you always have to be watching out for the other crazy drivers.
