'Aint nothin finer than a pipeliner...

what an experience! travis and i left oklahoma, where we had our own construction clean-up business, to work on the pipeline in indiana! who would'a thunk it? lol. let me just start out by saying... pipeline is a mans job!!! but boy was it fun! the hills were... unbelievable and so hard to walk up! heres a picture for ya... just imagine lol...

yep... had to walk it! great exercise... not so great wardrobe after a day in this! might i add that it was 67 miles of this CRAP!!! lol. but worth every drip of sweat! i met one of my best friends in indiana.

brandi... from tennessee. i call her my tennessee whiskey!

she is a pipeliner too. we got to work with eachother on the "dope- gang"... the coating crew. which was MUCH easier than working on than the tie-in crew that i started on or working on the environmental crew with travis.

i started work in november 2008. travis and i just decided to pack up and try it out. im glad we did. it was fun living on our own, in another state, having to make new friends (or we wouldnt have any!) and such an awesome time for me travis... we got so close!

we lived in indiana for a year in an rv park. crazy but fun... crazy b.c. we dont have an rv. and fun b.c. we made the best of it! lol... we literally stayed in a huge open room... with french doors leading into another room, a room that held the real crazies! lol.

we had alot of ups and downs with our neighbors... "roomates!" but all is well! we had about 4 different sets of neighbors come int hat room... they all went in normal (we thought) and came out... well not so normal! i dont know what went on in that room.... never will lol.

 one GREAT! memory of indiana... was getting a new puppy for christmas! travis bought me a mini' australian shepherd. he was the cutest thing! naturally i wanted to name him pipe since we were there working on the pipeline... didnt know the poor thing would never know his name! turns out he is a "lethal white". which means hes not suppose to be white and b.c. he is, hes deaf!!! lol... picture me trying to train this uncontrolable beast! he was a nut case... like our neighbors on the other side of the french doors!

my new pup... pipe!!!

when work was over... i had the time of my life with my new friend and with people who came to visit. more to come...
