Tear-down parties, wrecking equipment, bonfires, 4wheelers, beer, and padded milking stanchions!

This Saturday I attended my first "tear-down party" with Lindsey. Her parents own a farm out in Hebron, Il. which is just south of Lake Geneva. I just learned this weekend that a "tear-down party" consists of a huge backhoe, an old farmhouse, family and friends, beer, and food. It was a great way to meet some of her family, because there was enough going on that kept the center of attention off of me! A tear-down party consists of demoing a house and drinking beer. It took all day to knock down the house with the backhoe but it got done. Much of the time spent was talking to Lindsey and her cousins and them reminiscing about the good old times in the old farm house. I got to see the padded milking stanchion that Lindsey's dad attached to a bed while I was there(I will let your imagination fill in what that is all about). That guy has got a crazy sense of humor.

Sunday consisted of mass with Matt and the POP meeting. The focus of the meeting was on mercy. Steve showed me pictures of 2 trophy bucks he got on Saturday. He got them both within 30 minutes of each other!!!!! I started working on my project that is due today at least until Dan called and wanted to see if I wanted Pinos. I can't believe he still has to ask. We drove over to Pino's and drank a pitcher while we were waiting for the pizza. We ate pizza with Megan Matt and the couple who is working on Dan's house. I pissed off and started working on my paper again. In fact I just finished it an our ago.

It has been ages since I posted. In fact I have not kept up with reading anyone elses blogs either. Out of site out of mind I guess.

An overview of life since my last post:

School, work, new friends, biking, running, POP...

Too much to talk about in one post. I will try to start blogging again, just a matter of finding the time to do so.
