March 11 - 13th, 2011- 91st through 93rd Days

Friday I woke up to news of a massive 8.8 earthquake in Japan.  It created such a Tsunami that it caused massive problems for the people of Japan, and it looks like over 1,000 people were killed.  That makes for a solemn start to the day.  The day got better, however, as Kerry and I decided to take off on a bike ride at about 11:30 in the morning.  Hey, it was Friday, not much happens on Friday, so I didn't feel too bad.  It's also much easier to stay nice when you're on a bike, unless you have a cowboy in a pickup truck try to see how close he can get to you.  For some reason, I don't think cowboys like cyclists!  Maybe it's because we look like wild animals on our bikes and they instinctively want to run us over, I don't know.  However, this much I've established as a fact--cowboys in pickup trucks older than 1980 (the pickup truck, not the cowboy), don't like cyclists!  Well, I made it through the entire ride without even seeing a speeding pickup truck, then I went to my son's soccer games.  Hunter's J.V. team beat Park City 1-0 and then Logan's varsity team beat the Park City Varsity 1-0.  Logan got a shutout, and it was way intense.  You'll be happy to know, I didn't yell at the ref--well, not very much anyway.  I was very polite for a Kimzey at a soccer match I thought.   Putting a Kimzey at an athletic event and telling him to be quiet is kind of like trying to put a muzzle on a barracuda while underwater --it just doesn't seem to be natural!  Anyway, after the intense game we came home and Amber waited up for Mitchell, who got here at about 11:30.  I waited up with her and we talked, it was nice. 

Saturday we woke up early, cleaned our church, then went to the next soccer game against Uintah.  We shot about 4,000 times to their 2 times (literally, I think Logan touched the ball twice), and we still only won 1-0.  It could have just as easily been 8-0.  Hunter's JV team then put on a clinic, winning 7-0!  The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful, until Sunday!  My alarm went off at 5:10, and I got up, showered, and noticed that my phone said 6:30, instead of 5:30!  My meeting started at 6:00!  I had forgotten it was daylight savings time.  I then set the clocks forward and set Nicole's alarm, so she wouldn't miss her meetings.  Yes, I deserved to get harassed by my fellow meeting members!  It's now Sunday night, and the boys and I and Amber watched "How to Train Your Dragon", which is perhaps the coolest animated show on the planet.  I'm not ready to go to bed, and unless I get in a fight with someone after 10:30, I think I'm safe on the be nice to people front.  Things I learned this weekend, 1st, It's better to bike ride and try to avoid cowboys, then to not bike ride and not worry about cowboys.  2nd, My sons rock at soccer!  3rd, I need to make an invention that will slap my face and wake me up in the spring when it's daylight savings time, either that, or I can just remember to set my clock forward.  4th, Logan goes to Italy this week, Kaylee is in London, I'm already missing Kaylee, but I'm going to miss Logan too!
