How many wives have a husband who loves them so much they actually WANT to spoil them? I'm not sure. But what I am sure of is that my hubby sure enjoys it. Yesterday he took me to JCPENNY to get my hair cut. And he didn't go cheap because i got the shampoo, cut and style as well as a bottle of salon conditioner and another bottle of detangler. He also let me do some shopping at the nearby Target. After we finished shopping he took me to Panera Bread for a delicious dinner.
Now today he continues spoiling me by getting me the video mp3 player i have had my eye on for two weeks =) I've never had one before today and i really love it.
*sigh* It sure is wonderful having a husband who enjoys taking care of you.

Praise the Lord for flexibility!
One of the most amazing parts of driving trucks for your job is the flexibility. Levi and I had a load to drop off last monday morning, leaving us with Saturday night and all day Sunday free! Well we just happend to be only 3 hours away from my moms house so we were able to drive up to Iowa and visit.
Most people, when they want to travel or visit family have to put in for time off with their boss and then have to save up enough money to make the trip....but not for us! Not only are we being paid to drive, but get to randomly visit our family accross the country!

Part Two: Too much of a good thing CAN be bad thing
I wish i had a picture of this thing! It was so enormous that this man came up to me and asked me where in the world i got the thing! So i'm crusing through this chocolate cone until about ten napkins and twenty minutes later I'm still working on this thing and beginning not to feel so well. Thats when it hits me...maybe just maybe too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
* if you've ever done something like this let me know I'm not the only one! Haha

Part one: I guess too much of a good thing CAN be a bad thing...
Ladies have you ever craved something so badly you ended up really over doing it? If so, read on and take comfort that your not the only one!
It started on our trip headed out toward Omaha, NE. Levi and I were trying to decide on a place to stop for the night during our drive out there and I really wanted to stop at the Iowa 80 truck stop. (For those of you who may not know, Iowa 80 is the largest truck stop in the US!)
Well Levi really prefered to drive farther than where the Iowa 80 truck stop was located, so he said not this time. Deciding that I didnt have anyting exciting to look forward to for the rest of the day I went to the back and took a long nap.
About two hours later or so Levi is waking me up telling me we are stoping for a bathroom break. So i spilled out of the truck with hair messy and sleepy eyes. I didnt care what i looked like...it was just a truck stop. Levi being the romantic he is takes my hand in his as we walk towards the entrance. I honestly didnt see the GIANT Iowa 80 sign right in front of my face, levi actually had to point it out! Boy did he surprise me! I was quickly awakened out of my sleepy state as i walked through the doors. For me it wasnt necessarily the truck stop that made me so happy, but my thoughtful husband who simply wanted to surprise me.
We walked around for awhile looking at all of the different truck parts as well as admiring the full sized semi's parked inside the truck stop for show. And that when we saw the small DQ sign calling our names.
Here is where the fun begins...I am craving chocolate. Not just something small or a chocolate bar, but really craving the stuff! So i get a chocolate dipped waffel cone with chocolate ice cream. And thats not all, i wanted more. So i kindly ask the lady taking our order if i can also have my cone dipped into that delicious chocolate syrup that hardens when it gts cold. BUT she says that they cant because it wasnt a menu item. Did that stop me? I think not! I simply asked for the delicious syrup in a side cup so i could put it on the cone myself.
