5 Days

We are getting ready for our trip to New York. It's hard to believe we leave in just 5 days. We bought the tickets so long ago that it seemed as if this day would never come.

Wednesday night we experienced our first crank callers from Aaron's students. At 1 am Wednesday our phone rang, by the time Aaron and I had figured out was going on and what the noise was we missed the call and we were left a strange message on our answering machine. 15 minutes later and just as we we were falling asleep the phone rang again, this time Aaron answered and let's just say Aaron and the caller exchanged some unpleasantries. I decided it was best to turn the ringers off and the answering machine. I pushed the wrong button on the answering machine so 10 minutes later we heard a voice on the answering machine leaving some unplesantries for Aaron. So if that wasn't enough to ruin our sleep, Conner decided to wake up at 4 am which he never does. Aaron stayed up with him and when I woke up around 6:30 to get ready for work, I found the two of them sound asleep on the living room floor. After a sleepless night, Aaron spoke with the phone company and they have traced the phone number and Aaron filed charges with the Garland Police Department - if you have 3 or more harassing phone calls you can file charges. So the police are working with the phone company to find the callers. The callers called one more time on Wednesday and Aaron told them he had filed charges. Since then we haven't heard from them. We talked about cancelling our home phone service and it will be disconnected at the end of the month.

We drop Biscuit off with my Aunt Glenda on Saturday. She is going to dog sit or "spoil" him for us for a couple weeks while we are out of town. Sunday we plan on going to Aimee's to see Aaron's dad as we did not get together for Fathers Day.

Then we have a couple of days to pack and get ready for our early morning departure on Wednesday.
