So this was a hectic weekend to say the least. I have been working the sporting events at Viewmont High School for the past couple of years and Basketball season has started up. I had my first game on Friday, so B took Laura and the twins out to dinner. Golden Corral seems to be the restaurant of choice and Liz runs straight for the ribs every time. However, for the second time now, there were no ribs!!!! The world is ending! Lilly had her Christmas dance on Friday and she sent me a picture of her and she looked stunning! She has such a great style!! By the time B and I both got home Friday night, we crashed.
For those of you who know me well, you may want to sit down for this...READY???? On Saturday I woke up at 6:15 a.m. (yes, a.m.). I don't believe in getting up that early. Brandon claims that it is the best time of day; I feel that is up for debate. I went to pick up Lilly at 7 a.m. as she was participating in a Temple activity with our young men/women group doing Baptisms and going out to breakfast. We had hot chocolate on our way to drop her off at the church. I had every intention of heading straight home to go back to bed but then Brandon needed the camera at work and somehow I later got roped into going to Kohl's with my mom, not that I am complaining about that, I got a smashing new outfit out of it! When I finally got to lie down, Lilly was ready to come home! Oh-well, so much for a nap. Lilly and I went to lunch at Chili's before I took her home. It was fun to go out to lunch with her. She got ribs. I checked in with her and she was able to hide them from Liz. I'm thinking we will need to make ribs for dinner soon for our Elizabeth!
Saturday was Brandon's last day working at the hospital for the semester and so he came home early and we both got in a quick nap before going off to the Sandall Christmas party!! His students gave him a really nice gift basket. He has really enjoyed teaching and is looking forward to next semester. The Sandall Christmas party was a lot of fun. It was fun to meet some of Brandon's family that I had yet to meet. There was this massive blow-up slide for the kids, ping pong and when I couldn't find Brandon, I discovered they were showing the movie "Elf" in the other room. Some of us enjoy "It's a Wonderful Life" but my B goes for "Elf". We sang songs and opened presents and ate way too much food. My two salads were a hit! (Thank you Bowman's!) We missed having the kids with us at the party and so did everyone else but we look forward to having them this coming weekend.
Again, another blessing was shown our way at the party with some much needed items. Maybe I should stop being amazed at the love and blessings received. We are getting excited for Friday when Brandon graduates, I don't think it has hit him yet, but I am so very proud of him!!
