Everything is going good... just waiting for things to be done, and waiting for things to come...
I am waiting for school to be done so I can get a job and make some decent money...
Just said to mom that when I get a "real job" The first year we will take a trip to Calgary for the Stampede, and then the second year (or a few years later) We will go back to Disney:)
I can't wait for race season to come along.. winter is really boring...and it doesn't seem like much happens...
More up sides of summer: getting my tan back, driving my Mustang...and just having nice weather..
Today was such a nice day that if the road's still didn't have crap on them I would a took a drive in my convert with the top down!!

I am going to Ohio in March to visit Sonja so that should be pretty exciting...
Other then that, not much goin on...

I really never have anything exciting to post about in the winter months, and during the summer months I am usually to busy to write anything.
I am back in school...its busy..hopefully i get a job out of it...I am now off for 3 weeks, where I am looking forward to sleeping in and not really doing much other then that. Try to get together with some friends and thats about all.
I went for a weekend trip in October to Charlotte for the Nationwide and Cup races... was a sweeet time!
As for more racing news.. we werent as successful in the 2008 NASCAR Canadian Tire series as 2007, but we ended up 3rd in Owners Points. Andrew ended up doing the nationwide race the weekend of our last race...
That is all the news I have...If i think of something I will try to post again!

Well, nothing new really.
My ankle is still sore, it is going on just over 2 weeks now. Doctor said it would probaly hurt for 6 months.. which really sucks.
This is my ankle one week after the sprain, while we were in St. Eustache for a race (which got rained out)

St. Eustache was race 2 or 13, which we didn't end up racing due to rain, so now we are re-scheduled there for July 5th.

We are off to Mosport Road course this weekend, which is where we won last year, so I am really excited for this weekend! Even though it will be a really longggg weekend!


Larissa and James had there little baby girl, Jaela! She is so adorable!

She is the first baby I have ever held and I was so scared at first! But once i got use to it, it was all good!

Well our first race was on Saturday.
We were at the shop till about 2am loading, home at about 2:30am..and up at 5am to be at the track for 6:30am..
We then unloaded, and teched, then practiced, teched again, and qualified. Andrew started 10th and Alex about 20th, there were Issues with Alex's car all day long.
Between qualifying and the race, I ended up spraining my ankle, didn't hurt me to bad at the time, so i kept walking around on it... my dad then said "i guess you won't be doing catch can tonite" i just laughed at him! By the time race time came around my ankle was getting pretty huge, but still not extremely sore.. but as the race went on the soreness got worse.
By the time the race was over i walked down to the 7 pit once and it hurt pretty bad... We ended up finishing 17th, and 20th...ya that sucks...
I didn't help load up because i could barely walk anymore.. and i didnt want to mess my ankle up anymore...
I walked over to get my car and was spent.. We were at the track until about 11:30.. we then drove home, when Tammy and I got home.. i got out of my car and I could barley walk.. I almost had to get carried into the house...
We had a couple drinks at home... i sat with ice on my ankle.. everyone said i should go to the hospital on sunday..
So sunday afternoon my mom took me to the hospital, we left here at about 1 and then after i got all registered and talked to the nurse, i got in right away which really surprised me the doc talked to me and sent me off for some x-rays..the x-ray tech must of taken about 10 x-rays of my foot/ankle.. i was then back to emergency sat there for a couple min then got called back into see the doctor.. nothing was broken so i was good to go! Just got told to keep off my feet for a week or so..
So i got home and called work to tell them I couldn't work for the week..they told me i needed a doc's note.. i told them i went to emergency, they still said i need a note.. so today we went into our family doctor, and they won't give me a note without seeing my doctor, so i have to go in to see her on Thursday ...
Here is a picture of my ankle for you, this was taken today and it happened saturday around 4:00pm... I think it is more sore and swollen now then before.

How race weekends go!

This weekend is an easy weekend, since we are only testing..
-Go to the shop on Friday Night to load up (if it is a saturday race, if not.. its usually the night before we head to the track) we usually leave the shop around 2am, but sometimes we get lucky and leave the shop at about midnight.
- Get up early (depending on where the race is) Sometimes we get up at about 4:30, sometimes 6:30..
-Go to the race track, usually for 8am..then spend the day at the track, teching, practicing, qualifying, racing, and tons of other fun stuff :)
-We then usually leave the track around 1am..and get home around 3am...

Am I crazy or what?

But this weekend is an easy weekend..lets hope! haha
