Friday night after work I headed to Tooele, UT to visit Ben. It's always a bummer to get there at night and have him be at work, but it is SOOOOO GREAT when he comes home in the morning!
I was a little bummed that most of our day would be spent with him sleeping so he could gear up for another long night at work, but I was happy to get some time with him. We ate breakfast, ran to the library to check our e-mail, and then went back to the trailer to sleep. When we got up, we found out that the head broke on their drill rig. This put a bit of a twist on things....Ben didn't have to "work" but he had to go to work to watch the rig all night. The boss said it was alright if I tagged along so we threw the mattress from the trailer on a tarp in the bed of Ben's truck and loaded up on blankets and food. Since there wasn't anything they could do at work we cleaned up the area, watched a movie under the stars on the laptop, ate Chinese takeout, and slept for a few hours. Other than a few allergies, it turned into a great little campout....not to mention the fact that Ben got paid overtime for the whole night!
I'm sad to be home without him, but only a week and a half and my honey will be home again! Hopefully for 2 weeks! WAHOO!
P.S. Sorry we didn't take any pictures. We were dirty after cleaning and my allergies made me not so much in a picture taking mood!
