April 15th through 18th, 2011 - 126th through 129th Days

Friday we had a soccer game and Logan was Awesome!  He was blocking shots all over the place.  We were playing Desert Hills, one of our main rivals, at home.  It was 0-0 and there was only a minute and 30 seconds left in the game.   Then guess what happened?  Right, another foul by our player in the goalie box, and they get a free shot.  We all started chanting, "Logan, Logan, Logan!"  Well, they scored and we lost 1-0.  What a bad way to lose!  But, I was proud of myself, I didn't yell at the refs, or even raise my voice.   Whenever I'd get mad I'd just say, "Kerry, yell at that ref"!  Hey, at least it's a start! 

Saturday was a big day because we got to take Amber through the temple for the first time.  The temple is so quiet and peaceful, it was a great way to start off the Saturday.  Then I came home, and went shopping with Kaylee at Costco and we were nice to everyone!  I then called Ken Sheppard up and we went for a bike ride.  At night we went to Kaylee Reeder's wedding reception out in Toquerville.  It was really nice.  We got so busy with everything that was happening in the day we forgot to pick up Logan's corsage for the Senior ball.   The place where we ordered the corsage from, Bloomers, had already closed, so what did Nicole do?  She made one for Logan's date.  And, no surprise, it was gorgeous.  Sometimes I think there is nothing my wife can't do.  I think next week I'm going to have her make me a suit out of cottage cheese.   I'm sure she could make it look fantastic, although it may be a little hard to dry clean. 

On Sunday I had a nice, peaceful day.   As I've mentioned before, it's always easy to be nice to others on Sunday.  I was able to go to church, read, and sleep for an hour or so.  At night we had a leadership meeting and learned about bringing the lost sheep back into the fold.  It was really nice. 

Monday was a busy day.  I worked, then came home, made salsa, cooked dinner, cleaned up, and then went to a choir concert my son, Logan, was participating in.  The concert was nice, but I have to admit, it was kind of long.  One song was 30 minutes.  Now, I appreciate music as much as the next guy (and my son's choir was incredible), but listening to one song for 30 minutes is akin to standing in line at Disneyland for an hour when you have to go to the bathroom.  You get just a little ansy!  I also began organizing my 25 year mission reunion.  I started a group on Facebook, and within an hour 34 people from my mission were part of the group.  It should be really fun seeing everyone again.  We're going to have a nice dinner, a little program, and a slide show.  It will be a little bit of work, but I called a few of my mission buddies and we have a little committee going that should help out. 

This week is going to be an adventure.  My daugther, Amber, gets married on Saturday, April 23rd.  I can't believe I have a daughter old enough to get married!  I guess that means I'm getting kind of old    Oh well, at least I haven't got a big beer belly yet (just a little soda pop can belly at the moment!).
