9:30 pm – Thursday 27th May 2004

Getting it on.

Crap, maybe I'll just summarize as best I can.

Wednesday 5th May – Accounting exam in the evening, I think I did ok, I ended up getting a B in the course which was what I was expecting given that I missed the first 3 weeks of the semester.

Friday 7th May – Tiffany moved out of the dorms, she stored her stuff in my spare bedroom.

Saturday 8th May – Graduation. Tiffany, Doug, Bonnie, Judy and Ryan all graduated, along with many other friends.

8th – 19th May – Domestic happiness. :)

Saturday 15th May – Damn body let me down just when I needed it. *sigh*

Sunday 16th May – Spent all day relaxing and playing “Big Mutha truckers”

Wednesday 19th May – Picked up U-Haul loaded Tiffany's stuff and drove to Baker. Brandon came along as well.

Thursday 20th May - Woke up in Baker, MT and didn't do very much all day. Tiffany packed her room up and I walked Peyton, the family dog and 4th child.

Friday 20th May – Loaded all her stuff onto the truck, and left Baker around 2 pm. I drove to North Dakota, South Dakota and through the Black Hills. Brandon took over and drove to Douglas, Wyoming. We ate dinner at Pizza Hut and Tiffany drove to Fort Collins and our hotel room.

Saturday 21st May – We drove to the New Belgium Brewery, the makers of Fat Tire beer. We sampled the wares and drove to Denver airport to pick up the rental car. I drove the car and we arrived at tiffany's apartment around 2 pm. We started unpacking and were finished about 5 pm. For dinner we drove to Casa Bonita in Denver and came home and continued unpacking.

Sunday 22nd May – I was ready to go early, but the others were a bit slower. We finally left about 2 pm and Tiffany drove to Cheyenne Wyoming. I drove to Casper, and then Tiffany drove the rest of the way home. We arrived about 12:30 am in the morning and I dropped the others off and drove home.

Monday 23rd May – I used the rental car to get groceries and a wedding present. After I dropped off the car, Tiffany gave me a lift home, she looked exhausted, and her mother was in town getting ready for Tanya's wedding. Pat wasn't at work, so I was annoyed and so I was busy getting things under control.

Tuesday 24th May – Another busy day as I was organizing our last camping trip. I got the camping gear all together and did my usual work on the FOC project at the lab. Bonnie was ready to go by 7 pm, but Tiffany was running late because she was trying to buy a new car. We picked her up around 8 pm, and drove the 30 miles out of town to the campsite. Although we were running late, we managed to get the tents up and the fire started before it got dark. We cooked hotdogs, drank beer and I was introduced to “smores”.

Wednesday 25th May – Bonnie had to leave for a wedding in Idaho, and Tiffany had to drive back to Baker so we got up very early, ~6:30 am. The wind had come up during the night, and our tent was flapping as if it were about to blow away. Somehow we managed to get them pack4ed away and we drove off. Alas, disaster struck and we hadn't gone very when the muffler on Bonnie's car fell off. We used duct tape to get to the main dirt road, where someone lent us some rope. After a while of trying to figure out what was best, I held on tight to the rope to keep the muffler off the ground as we made our way along the corrugated dirt road and back to the paved road. Fortune smiled and we managed to make it all the way back to town. I dropped off the camping gear and crashed out exhausted. Later in the day I made it to the lab and I was getting some good results. Later that night I went to the movies to see “Kill Bill : Volume 2” which was cool.
