April 29th through May 4th, 2011 - 140th through 145th Days

I haven't written here for a week because nothing exciting has happened!  Friday night was a soccer game and it was so cold we had to bring our heater, and the day before it was 80 degrees and I was working in the yard at 9:00!  Go figure that.  Saturday we got up and all the youth in the ward cleaned the church.   It was amazing to see how much you could get done with 40 kids.  I think that every month we should have all the youth in the ward go to one of the homes in the ward and do a "super clean".   Imagine how clean you could get your house in one hour.  I know of some ladies that would love that --huh Nicole?  

Sunday and Monday were nice, but uneventful.  We did go to the movie, "I am Number Four" on Monday for FHE with Kerry's family.   I was plesantly surprised.  You know when you have no expectations whatsoever for a movie, and it ends up being enjoyable and you're not sure if it's because it's a good movie, or if it's just that your expectations were low.  Either way, I really enjoyed it. 

On Tuesday we went to the soccer game and, surprise, we lost!  Yes, we are now 4-11, and it gets more painful every time to watch.  I wasn't as nice to the ref as I should have been.  He made some horrendous calls and our boys were getting knocked to the ground and I said, "Come on ref, that's a foul and you know it.   Start calling those!"  Then,  he looked up in the stands, pointed at me and gave me the shush sign!  I actually got the shush sign from a ref!  Oh well, I was better behaved after that.  I still think that I should be given a little leeway in the niceness department when it comes to anyone in yellow and black!   Hunter's team won, however.  Sometimes I think they should just let the JV play on the Varsity and we'd probably win more. 

Wednesday was a good day.  I came home, cooked some nice tomato basil soup and sandwiches for my family, replaced the sprinkler in the yard, trimmed and yard, and went over with my son to mow and trim the Thomas's yard.   It was a great day.  Tomorrow we travel to Texas for Amber and Mitch's reception.  Should be fun!
