My loving wife and all that she puts up with...

I wanted to post a little note about all the stuff that I have put my very loving wife through in the last little while.  First I sucked my wife in to going to the ham radio classes (even though she would be able to look over the book one time and ace the test.)  Second I made her come with me to take the exam to get the ham radio license.  Next I signed us up for CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) disaster / emergency preparedness.  Not only was this a full day of in class training on Friday but then we returned on Saturday for most of the day to do a drill, so that we could get some experience before the problems arise.  I also have a change up at work that is going to have me traveling to our Littleton location so the valuable time spent with Miriam in the morning car pooling with her is gone now.  The ward camp out is this weekend and I am not sure we are going to go to that.  So I have had her on a run for the last few months, and her birthday is in a few days so I have a plan to take her out for her birthday on a ride to the mountains and just spend some time with her without any obligations to anyone or any thing.
