Flying the Coop

Sweetheart decided to fly the coop. He went to work in Los Angeles area and a wedding in Salt Lake City for our friends, Jared and McKenzie. 

He had a lot of fun working and playing. In LA, he worked. How exciting is that? Traveling brings the perk of going out to eat. He and a co-worker, Mincer, each ate a huge dessert for lunch. The rest of the day Mincer commented on how full he was. At supper, Sweetheart told the server it was this Mincer's birthday so he would get more dessert. They had a good laugh when Mincer was shocked at getting more ice cream and had a good laugh after he caught on to the joke. The rest of the trip was uneventful.

Sweetheart flew to SLC after work on Friday. Y and A, his sister and brother-in-law, picked up Sweetheart from the airport and went to supper with B and M, his brother and sister-in-law. They talked about family, the family reunion, and future plans. They thought it was a lot of fun to be together. Sweetheart stayed with Y and A. The next day he attended Jared and Mckenzie's wedding. 

 Jared and Sweetheart were roommates at BYU. 

We are super excited for the couple! After the wedding, Sweetheart was chauffeured around by Kevin and Ashley. Kevin was also a roommate with Sweetheart and Jared.

Thank you to all who taxied Sweetheart around. He loved seeing family and friends!

While Sweetheart was gone, a few things happened around here too:

• Underfoot began swim team with our neighbor. We will have a carpool for swim season.
• Hurricane found the walkie-talkies and thinks they are wonderful. He takes them with him. He even found the screwdriver, took it apart, and put the batteries in for it to work.
• Underfoot rode his bike to school. He likes to not be picked up every day and to ride his bike home. One day the bike got a flat tire that Daddy fixed when he was home for a few minutes.
• I have been swimming for exercise and am trying to be patient with myself and the healing process. I like to exercise hard and don't get to go as hard as I like. Quoting a wise woman, "Honor your body." It means more than just listening to it when you go beyond the point of no return but to let it rest, stretch, and grow when needed.
• I completed a project that I've been thinking about for 2 years. We made a picture family tree on our wall. The end result is cool.
  
• Hurricane and Underfoot went on the Father and Sons camp out with a neighbor because Sweetheart was out of town. They had a great time and came home tired, dirty, and full of stories as well as two new songs - The Fisherman and John Jacob JingleHeimer Scmidt.

Be Well.
