Sarah & Nascar

Hey I know it’s been a long while. I have been around. Back in May I went and met up with many great friends in Charlotte, NC. That was a blast. I really had a great time. Can’t wait to do it all over again someday soon!!! We visited some of the race shops, ate at some great restaurants and even took in a few races. They were rainy races but none the less races. I even got to pet Killer (Jr’s boxer). It is so pretty there!! Thanks to all that helped make the trip fun! Also have to say thanks Margaret for driving us to the race shops as well as Tara for taking us Thursday afternoon. Thanks also to Wyndi for driving down with me. I had a blast!

The divorce is still going. We have had to file bankruptcy after all. It truly was in my best interest to do that. It wasn’t what I wanted to do but oh well.

I was able though to get my car paid off. It is great to be able to say that I own my car. I love my car!! I did have to get tires for it though. My tires looked like race tires; they had no tread left on them.

I will try to update more often from now on! Hope that everyone is well!!

NASCAR California Auto Racing

As you can see Matt Kenseth took home the trophy again. He’s only the fifth driver in history to win the first two races of the season! Way to go Matt!!!

Here is my recap of the race in case you missed it.
The pole was captured by Brian Vickers but do to an engine change he had to start from the back. Also having to go to the back were Michael Waltrip, David Reutimann, Dale Jr and Reed Sorenson. Dale Jr went to the back due to a transmission change and Reed went to the back due to having to be in his back up car. Reed hit the wall during final practice which is why he was in his back up car.

Jimmie Johnson started second and lead the first lap. He continued to lead. Lap 6 brought out the first caution due to rain. This was the start of troubles for Ryan Newman. He lost his transponder so he had to pit to get a new one. Then as they were leaving the pits he also lost the end plate from his rear splitter. He had to pit again to have that replaced as well.

Lap 22 brought out the green again. The top five at this point was Jimmie Johnson, Jamie McMurray, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch.

Lap 42 brought out the second caution again due to rain. This time all the leaders hit pit road. That gave the lead to John Andretti who stayed out. Reed Sorenson had to serve a pass through penalty for being too fast entering and exiting pit road on lap 44. Lap 45 John Andretti pits which hands the lead over to Kurt Busch.

Lap 46 the green flag waves again. The top five at this point are Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle and David Ragan. By lap 47 Jimmie Johnson takes the lead back though.

On lap 78 Jeff Gordon passed his teammate and took the lead. That lasted until lap 86 when Greg Biffle took the lead. Although he pitted on lap 88 which left Jeff Gordon with the lead again. By lap 90 we had cycled through the green flag pit stops. The top five at this point was Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Matt Kenseth.

The next lead change comes at lap 128 when Greg Biffle beat Jeff Gordon off pit road after our second round of green flag pit stops. The top five at this point are Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch.

Lap 141 Brought out our next caution again due to rain (are we seeing a trend yet lol). Michael Waltrip recieved the free pass to get back on the lead lap. All the lead lap cars hit pit road. Lap 144 Juan Montoya stayed out and took the lead. Lap 145 Juan Montoya pitted and gave the lead up to Matt Kenseth.

Lap 151 the green flag waves again. The top five at this point are Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson.

The fourth Yellow waves at lap 170 for yet again rain. This time Brian Vickers gets the free pass. Lap 171 Dale Jr is reporting to have lost a cylindar in his engine. They would make some lenghty pit stops to check this problem out. Lap 171 was also when all the lead lap cars pit except for six. On lap 172 Tony Stewart took the lead by staying out. Lap 175 Mark Martin took the lead when Tony Stewart pitted. Lap 176 Mark Martin pits giving the lead back to Matt Kenseth.

Lap 177 the green flag waves again! The top five at this point are Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch.

On lap 196 Jeff Gordon took the lead. Lap 206 Dale Jr. takes his car to the garage due to the fact that he couldn’t mantain the proper speed. That would end his day.

Lap 207 brings out caution number five when Kevin Harvick hits the wall hard. He was fine although his car wasn’t. This gave Kasey Kahne the free pass. Lap 209 all the leaders hit pit road. This will give David Stremme the lead when he stays out.On lap 213 David Stremme pits and give the lead to Matt Kenseth.

LAp 215 The green flag waves again. The top five looked like this Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch. Lap 250 Matt Kenseth takes the checkered flag! The top ten finishers were as follows….Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson and Brian Vickers.

The top twelve in points right now are:
1. Matt Kenseth

5. Greg Biffle
6. Clint Bowyer
7. Michael Waltrip

My Christmas….

December 26th, 2008

Was alright! The best part was I finally felt like I’m part of  my step mom’s family! We went to Dad & Roberta’s house yesterday. Two years ago my dad married Roberta and I received two step brothers and a step sister. This is the first time since the wedding that we have been all together. I wanted a picture so bad. I finally have a picture of us all to show off!

Merry Christmas

December 24th, 2008

I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone that reads this a very Merry Christmas!

I know that my Christmas has already been made a Merry one! Someone out there sent me a card with a cash gift inside. I don’t know who did it but they really made my Christmas! Just to know that someone is thinking of me. This year has been a very hard year both emotionally as well as financially! Not sure who that person was but they will never know how much I appreciate such a great gesture! They really are an angel! Who ever you are, if your reading this……..THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

RIP Aunt Sadie!

November 20th, 2008

I just found out that my great Aunt Sadie passed away this morning! They say that her heart just gave out. I always said that I wanted to be like her. She was a school bus driver when I was growing up. That is what I said that I wanted to do, that is until I relized that buses are big. I don’t like big cars! She was there when I got married. I’ll never forget that. Her and my Uncle (her husband) Decorated the church and our reception hall. They ran late and didn’t feel like they should come to the wedding since they hadn’t had time to change out of there jeans and sweat shirts. I told them that they were nuts and that they had to stay. I have a picture of them sitting down in there “normal clothes”. They were great. My Uncle has dementea (sp). He forgets things all the time. I’m not sure what will happen with him. At least now she’s with Grandpa and they can keep each other company! May you rest in piece Aunt Sadie!

Our 4 way meeting has been set!

November 10th, 2008

Just thought that I would update again. Our 4 way meeting has been set up for November 25th at 3pm. This is a meeting between me and him and our lawyers. This is what the judge wanted us to do to see if we can settle anything outside of court. Not sure that he will agree to anything. He will probably just sit there and stare me down yet again! Why do I always find the idiots!

Sombody loves me!!

Court Sucked Today!!!

October 14th, 2008

So as you know today was court date #1. Ya nothing happened!! We presented the case and of course he’s trying to lie A LOT! He’s trying to say that he has to spend $20,000. a year on buisness expense. Ok um let me see he spends nothing on his work so what the hell. The Judge said that she wants us to have a 4 way meeting before our next court date. Ya that is December 2nd. That means that I get to still pay for the bills. Yep that means I still have to pay his car insurance! Ya that is so fair let me tell you! Regardless I’m moving Saturday. I’m basically going to let the house here go into forclosure. I just can’t afford the house and all the repairs. My lawyer brought up the fact that I have pictures of all the damage that was done. His lawyer claims that he too has pictures of the house when he left showing he did NO damage. Ya I guess that I somehow climbed on top the garage roof and drilled holes in it. It’s amazing that the holes are right where the dish was. I told my lawyer that I have plenty of people that can testify what the house looked like before I left and what it looked like when I came home.

He was so rude today too. I swear if looks could kill I would have died this morning. My lawyer said that he was about to say something about him staring me down with the death glare. Oh ya and his dad and step mom went with him today. Ya his dad was a rude (pardon my french) asshole! I was nice and let them out of the row in front of me and his dad let the door slam in my face. I just love how they call themselves Christians! Ya right. You hold the door open for strangers why slam it in my face.

I swear I feel just as bad now as I did when he first walked out. Right now I feel like crap! I know that I shouldn’t but I just do! I think that the day is catching up to me….I’m so tired!

Take care!

The New Me!!!

October 9th, 2008

Ok so I know that I haven’t been here lately and for that I appoligize. I have been keeping pretty busy lately! I wanted to drop by to show you all the “new” me! I wanted a change to start my new life over! Let me know what you all think!

The new me!

The new me!

Just checking in…..

September 4th, 2008

Well it’s been a few weeks I know! I have been getting by! I finally recieved a paycheck and a loan from my Aunt so I was able to pay up most of the bills. I’m still not sleeping or eating much at all. It’s still hard. My emotions are all out of wack. I never thought that anyone could be so cold and evil! The hardest part is my weekends right now. I never thought that I would say this but it’s hard when you don’t even feel like your welcome at church. I thought that I had many friends there but I guess not! He was the one that made this decision I didn’t have a choice since he never talked to me. I did find out that he has a porn addiction though. That has been hard to deal with too. Everyone tells me that its for the better but right now I just don’t see that! So far he’s been getting anything and everything (since he took everything that was mine when I was gone) and I have nothing. I guess the good thing is I won’t be called a bitch all the time anymore! As you can tell my mood is still not normal since but I do have the best friends and family around! Thanks too all who have kept me in their prayers and thoughts! Your the best friends/family that I could ever wish for!

Take care,
Sarah
