[Groggy Voices]" eh, erhh...Bang(the hitting of the alarm)"

2:45 am Out The Door


As our first year as a married couple we of course had to begin the staple tradition of Black Friday. That is a key tradition to have. Can we count this year and John's first outing on Black Friday as a success? Well that depends on which part you look at and who you ask....

Did we wait in line for two hours to be one of the first 20 people into Toys R us...most definitely.
Did we eagerly rush inside to claim one of the top must haves from the ad ( 30gig video MP3)....heck yes!
Did Danielle make it to the tickets for the item as the second person...duh, years of shopping experience.
Did we than come out empty handed because the first guy there took ALL the tickets...hey let's not talk about the sore spot.
Did we save hundreds of dollars by switching to Geico? Nah.
Did we succesfully spend 8 hours out and come home with 75% of all our Christmas shopping done...yes.

So worth it all? Well are you asking John or Danielle??? ;-)

If you give a Puig a roadtrip.....

.....they're gonna want adventure!!!


Seriosuly what is life without adventure, much more a roadtrip without adventure. Danielle love's adventure but didn't realize that roadtrips were gonna become so much a part of our routine. Since the very beginning of marriage....a week from being back from our honeymoon to be exact ( that was the time when the 12 year totaled John's car all while Danielle watched thinking she had only been married for 3 weeks and already her husband was dead) roadtrips have made adventure.

The last 5 weeks straight the Puigs have traveled. Charlotte, West Virginia, Roanoke, Charlottesville, Deleware and Maryland. John got his CDL so he can now drive the bus...wahoo. So last weekend he convinced the team that they should be fully confident in his driving by praying before hand. It went something like this.......

" Dear God please help me to be ' Awert and 'Alake' as I drive....." It was about that time the team roared in nervous laughter that he was about to take them home on the 4 hour drive. Never the less he did great...his honey kept him 'awert and alake' .

This weekend Danielle and John were seperated as John drove the team to Deleware and directed them there while Danielle traveled to Maryland. On the way to Maryland Danielle realized she was carsick ( yes she was the one driving) and she realized this when she was in the fifth lane over. Luckily she had a plastic walmart bag, which she didn't have to use, luckily. Whew, close one there. Could have been a long road trip with a bag of ...well you know what in the car.

On our way to Charlottesville we watched the near death of an old man as he walked across the road, purposefully in front of a truck while leaving his wife behind on the sidewalk. Then we watched as he did some not so nice things to to the truck that he walked in front of. Whew again!

Really the list can go on. Cause you know the story all winds up at the beginning...if give a Puig a roadtrip, they're gonna want ADVENTURE.
