Long day....

I never would have thought one of my busiest days of the year would be during spring break, but I think it was. Yesterday....all my troubles seemed so far away. That just popped into my head so I thought I should share it. Anyway yesterday was a very busy day for the both of us. My day started at 0400 and I arrived to work at 0515. We were preparing for our annual inventory so it was a very busy day but we got it all done. I went home, loaded my bicycle up in the truck and went out to ride the trails for a bit. On my way home from riding Linz called and asked if I wanted to come up to The Sand Plum and help them prepare for today. Being the loving and self sacrificing husband I am, I cheerfully obliged. After taking a shower and grabbing something to eat I made my way to The Sand Plum not entirely knowing what I was getting into. I was expecting 2-3 hours of this and that cleaning jobs. Well we finally got out of there about 0130 acheing, sore, and exhausted. Props to Linz, because she had been up there since 1000 moving/haning stuff, cleaning and decorating. It was fun and we got a LOT done, but I wasn't quite ready for all of that after working and exercising earlier in the day. To top off the night I got pulled over no more than 2 minutes after heading home. It was just because my tail light was out so no ticket or anything. We eventually made it home about 0210 and in bed about 0245.

Thankfully I was able to sleep in until almost 1100 but poor Linz was up about 0630 to go to some marriage/wedding meeting-seminar-show-thing. That is actually what is was called. She will be working until 1700 today and then coming home to do homework. I know she must be exhausted today but sounded peppy on the phone. I am well rested and was able to get the neglected house in order today.

It was really cool seeing Lindsay working her butt off and enjoying every minute of it. :) That job has been such a blessing for us, especially her. After my short time up there I can see why she devotes so much time to it. Larry and Michelle (Lindsay's bosses) are awesome and have an amazing vision for The Sand Plum, but there is a TON of work to do before it comes to pass. Lindsay enjoys being a part of that, making decisions and having input, and seeing the process unfold over time.
