Okay...

Today has calmed down a bit from yesterday so I'll steal a minute away so that I can write about yesterday.

First off, Jer's and my friend Jenny came to visit with her three kids from Florida. We missed you Jed, but I'm really glad that Jenny was generous with her time... She had to drive down from Salt Lake to see me. It was fun to catch up and to see that new little baby Jacob! They were our hang out couple from when we lived in the Sharon ward 3 years ago... We'd get together to do all sorts of geeky things... I was also Jenny's piano teacher and she coached me on books to read about the Salem Witch Trials. (She was a history teacher at UVU). Thanks Jenny for coming! I loved seeing you and we'll try really hard to get out to see you in Florida before Jed graduates!





Then Judy came to hitch a ride with us up to Liberty Park... I would have gotten lost if not for her! It was such a fun park! Kids played in the little streams and got wet to their hearts desire. We left when Mr. Creepy-watch-kids-from-the-trees-while-holding-his-bicycle decided to hang around. We went to Artic Circle for ice cream where I finally took the time to figure out who all was there... we had 17 kids and 7 adults... All the kids who were 2-6 years old sat in one large booth and the adults sat opposite them... you can guess which one needed the most clean up after. Sammy slimed me good on the back of my shirt with his little complimentary cone, and Ada's mouth somehow started bleeding through all this... (It couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that she was sitting with her three wrestling boy cousins could it? Oh well, blood happens.)






Then... I had to run to Kinko's to get the bookmarks that had been printed for the night's meeting with our new consultants. They had them printed... but not cut. Nice. Then I was going to try to hurry through the meeting to make it to a going away dinner for Jay... That didn't happen, but Jer got to go at least. It was a busy and very long day.
