IHOP





Sorry for the complete lack of up date in the past 2 weeks, mainly it was due to the lack of me being home. For the past 2 weeks we have all been sick (well for the last 3 if you coun't my first bout) and when I say all I mean all, Isabel and Yuki included. So Matthew has dubed us IHOP, International House of Plague.
Any ways to reacap what has been going on, let me start from when Yuki got here. Within the first few days she was here Laura and I took her ice skating as well as sledding. The next week was our big week. On Monday we visited great lakes crossing (a massive Michigan mall) and sh oped till we dropped. Later that night we left for Chicago and had a blast. We froze, discovered that you really can cram a huge van into a tiny parking garage and that all intercoms whether it be in the elevator or parking garage have a personalty (they are all too chipper for me). We became all to familiar with that voice when with in the first 5 minutes of us arriving in Chicago we lost my mom in the parking garage. we where all waiting next to the elevator listing to the intercom say (in a very expensive voice) "welcome! you are on the 4th floor, if you wish to visit our main lobby please push the down arrow next to the elevator..." and it went on and on. finally after searching for a while a hotel attendant found us and told us where she was. Well our trip to Chicago was great. On Friday we again packed up and went to Niagara Falls on the American side. We took Laura's Tomtom GPS System and let me tell ya, that thing is soooo cool! and yes once in our trip it did say "please make a U turn at next available location" any one who has watched the pixar film "over the hedge" will understand why i find that so funny. Any ways, the falls are absolutely beautiful in the winter and there is no one there so we pretty much had the place to our selves. We got home Saturday night and vegged out for the next few days. I started training for my Job on Monday and finished today (Friday) arggg sitting in a class room everyday for 8 hours is tough let me tell you. Well Yuki left on Tuesday and it was a second tearful good bye for the two of us. At least will still be in touch, I miss her already. Well next week is my first official week of work. I will still be doing in-store training that week but at least it's at my store and not Detroit. I had no idea that when i took this job that it would be so involved or this hard. Oh well, I'm just happy i have one. well I've bored you enough. take care!
