Rockin' out in Rockford

Well, since Sunday night, Matt has been in Rockford for work. Buckeye has taken over another line and Matt was in charge of going over to the Rockford location to be there for any questions.

Since I usually have Wednesdays off, I decided go up for 1.5 days to see him.... but that was with Matt putting the thought into my head that I could actually go see him and not have to be at home all by myself without him. SOOOOO... Tuesday afternoon, I drove over to Rockford and be with him for the night! And the first thing he shows me are THESE:

These are wonderful OLD SCHOOL (just out of the package) safety glasses he found at the Argo office. I just had to take a picture of him with 'em on. It's just so funny! They actually just look like really old glasses that might have been for a prescription, but they really aren't!!
We went and saw "Four Christmases" with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. I didn't hear that great of things about it, but I still really wanted to see it! And actually, I liked it. All the funny parts WEREN'T just in the commercials and I laughed quite a lot! =) After that, we went to the MACHINE SHED restuarant. It is a place that is "dedicated to the American farmer" (or something like that.. i thought that's what i read!). But it was good homecooked type meals with bread and all the fixin's. The bread was so good and my chicken just melted in my mouth! If you are ever in the Rockford area (or Iowa too I think), I think it is a good family resturant to check out! http://www.machineshed.com/. Then today, I was able to actually see Matt again, because when I called him in the morning, he was stuck at the Ford Dealership getting his truck worked on. So I got to spend just a little more time with my hubby before leaving Rockford.
I miss all of my friends. I will say that it is not as easy to get together with all of them as it used to be. Whether it's because I live a little farther away now, or because we are all just getting busier with other things that are coming into our lives. I just pray that we will always have time to see each other and keep those friendships going no matter what happens in our lives.
Matt and I are both realizing that we need to get back on the routine of working out and eating better. With both of us loosing a pretty substantial amount of weight each awhile ago, we know how important it is try to stay healthy and fit. Of course, since we both haven't worked out since the wedding, we are starting to "feel the burn" of working out again!
Hope all of you are doing well!
