Not too much excitement in the Platt household lately. Scott had drill last weekend, so he drove my car up to Ames where he has drill, and Tim (my brother-in-law) fixed the suspension links. Now that I have new struts and new suspension links, i just have to get 4 new tires and an alignment, and it will drive like a dream. And I will be broke.
I finished painting the porch and did some cleaning around the house while Scott was gone on Saturday. On Sunday I drove to Cedar Rapids for our annual award meeting for work, and did a presentation on our new online tournament entry system. It was a beautiful, sunny day, about 80 degrees, and I wasn't in a hurry, so on the way home I took country roads, listened to folk music on the radio, and had the windows down. It was nice.
Scott did have his retirement interviews while at drill, and all his paperwork and meetings are now finished and turned in! He requested an Army retirement date of Dec. 31, and now we wait to hear what the Army says. They say it usually taked 3-6 months to retire, and we have no idea when they will let us know, but it is in process!
Other than that, not too much excitement for us. Scott had a conference in Des Moines for work this week, so I stayed in the hotel with him--much shorter commute for me! We stopped at the mall to pick up some shirts for Scott, and there we had our most exciting moment of the week--we saw Dora the Explorer!!!!! We didn't actually go downstairs and hug her, but it was exciting nonetheless!
