Holidays and stuff

So first off Sorry for the long delay on posting this, So hence this might be a little on the long side. Ill try to condense the last two weeks.

Christmas eve=Chaotic

The reason it was chaotic was the simple fact that I got stuck three times on it, once in the blazer and twice in a tow truck.

This one in fact.

We got it unstuck once without the aid of another truck, the second time however I was not so lucky.

We had to use this to get the smaller one unstuck.

If I can get the picture Ill put it up, my dad couldn't resist taking one with me after we pulled out the smaller of the two trucks. I'm just glad we had the equipment to do it ourselves otherwise it wold have been a damn expensive night.

The next day was Christmas which I got to celebrate with my mom and her boyfriend at her home. It was nice to be able to relax, which I did. Then back to the burg it was as I had to work the next day. Didn't get a chance to do the Christmas thing with my day on Christmas itself as he was busy towing.

The next couple days were usual at work, nothing super special. I did get a funny photo of a sheep with its face covered in snow after it was looking for food in a field, with a couple hundred of its closest friends.

That brings us to the 29th and 30th which I was scrambling to get my work done for the next week as my new years vacation was coming up quick. I managed to get things ready so I could go.

The New years trip was to las vegas with a group of friends, I had a great time. Its always good to get together with friends who you don't see that often. I think we might have to make new years there an annual thing. I think 5 days there was just a tad long though. I managed to get an earlier flight home by a couple hours which saved me a layover in Portland. Its funny as I was being put on standby for the earlier flight at the Alaska counter in Vegas, another passenger (she shall remain nameless for now) was having fun to say the least with her return flight home, the reservation had been canceled. And because I will talk to anyone I look over and say its Murphy's law that something like that would happen, and then I walk off.

After getting through security, I met up with my friend Casey and bought an expensive lunch, Shouldn't have been expensive but airports always are. After joking about the funny things that happened in Vegas specifically our friend who was with us who we now call Uncle Rico. You should check out the link and add him as a friend. He has no control over the page as I do and so does Casey.

Anyways I go gamble a bit while waiting for my plane, didn't quite have the luck. So after gambling and sitting for a bit, I hear my name over the intercom thing and manage to get on the earlier flight which I was on standby for. So I'm the third last on the plane and get put in the middle seat, row 12 to be exact. As I get to the seat, who happens to be sitting next to me but the girl from the ticket counter earlier. Anyways we talked for most of the flight, turns out shes pretty cool.

Following the flight we exchanged email addresses and I went on my way. I got a ride from the mom and her boyfriend to her house where my car was parked, The plane was to then head back to the burg. Mother nature was not going to help out though, Snoqualmie pass stayed closed through the evening and into the afternoon of the next day. I made it back about 6 pm the next day, Monday.

That brings us to today, Which just happened to be the first day of classes for winter quarter, I'm in three classes this quarter, they are all my favorites, why you may ask, because they are my last three for my BA. Its been a long road so I'm just a bit excited to be done. So I went to classes today and then went to Kittitas to get some photos for a update story were running tomorrow on the the city and how its doing, which in my opinion is not great. They have a protem mayor, no fire chief, are down to two police officers and may be one soon. The cities only little grocery store/ market closed a couple weeks ago because the owner didn't pay their taxes. Good times for the city. Although the people inside the bar I went in wee nice, I wanted to get up on their roof to get an overall shot of the store that was closed. They let me which was nice.

Then it was back to the office time to edit the photos and Then head home, which is where I am now. I'm gonna get better at updating this sooner. Any suggestions or comments are always welcome
