We decided we wanted to be a festive family for Halloween this year. However, most of the month has been filled with school and work, so most of our free time is spent eating, sleeping, and watching an occasional episode of Criminal Minds on Netflix. BUT! We decided to throw a Halloween party with some friends from school and our ward. Take that, monotony! On Halloween, our ward had a small party and chili cook-off that we were supposed to help out with, so we went to that dressed as Real Salt Lake fans, cause that's legit.
After the party, we came home and finished prepping everything for our party That included getting dressed in our real costumes.
Trisha and I made some creative appetizers that she found on Pinterest: banana ghosts, with chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth and little pumpkins made of oranges and sliced celery for the stem. Trish also made a green slush drink that looked pretty spooky. And to top off the food, we bought a jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's, it was pretty cool! We ate, talked, and played group games for most of the night. We had a lot of fun celebrating with good friends (and pretty tasty food!) And now, we can officially celebrate CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! I've included some pictures from the party, we also had a Russian babushka, a lumberjack, and Medusa that we forgot to take pictures of. Cripes!
This weekend was quite busy and fun! During the Winter months in Cedar City, the cold is quite bitter. This bitter cold deters us from doing much outdoors. Since our friendships have been slowly atrophying, we have made it a goal to become more socially active now that Spring is here. If this weekend is an indicator for the remainder of the season, I think we will absolutely demolish our goal. On Friday night after Trisha's game ended, we drove up the canyon to have a dutch oven dinner with three of our couple friends. We cooked dutch oven potatoes, chicken, and peach/raspberry cobbler.
It was such a great time- and quite delicious! The crisp mountain air and opportunity to spend time with friends was so refreshing. On Saturday, Trisha had a Softball clinic from 10-2, so I cleaned up the house and did homework while she was gone. While she attended the Women's Conference, I played FIFA with a friend until the Real Salt Lake game started at 7:30. We had 8 people over to watch the game with us, so we really enjoyed having the company! I got to talk with one of them who I had never met before. His name is Pedro, he is an exchange student from Brazil. We got to talk about a wide range of subjects, including what his thoughts were on Brazil hosting the World Cup. He said that he protested on the streets because the money being spent on stadiums could be used on the failing health and education systems. I was aware of this unrest, but it was interesting to hear about it from a native who actually participated. After church today we helped our neighbors clean up and take care of some finishing touches before they move tomorrow to North Dakota! Before we left, Addison, their son that we teach in primary, said "When you move, will you move close to us?" It was so sweet! We're excited for the weather to be getting better-even though it has snowed the past two days- and to be more outgoing again.
As primary teachers, we have had many emotions: happiness, love, stress, concern, adoration, and amazement. Laughter also abounds quite regularly. While we are usually able to suppress the giggles until after church, sometimes we are not able to "hold it in". Neither could one of the little girls in our class. This girl is particularly fond of sitting on our laps during class. She had been sitting on Trisha's lap and then came to sit on mine for the remainder of class. We were asking the kids if they needed to use the restroom before sharing time when this sweet little girl (who was still sitting on my lap) said that she didn't, she had used it before class. That answer would have sufficed, yet she added another detail. She said "I peed in my pants a little because I couldn't get to the bathroom in time." Great. My legs felt a little muggy, but I thought I was just imagining it until she removed all doubt.
Another funny moment in class came from a sweet little boy that we love so much. Trisha was showing a picture of an Angel speaking with Mary and asked "Who is Mary?" One kid answered that Mary was Jesus' mother and we were about to move on, but this boy still had his hand raised. Trisha asked him if he was going to say that Mary was Jesus' mother. He replied in a somewhat confused voice: "No...I was going to say that Mary was Jesus'.....husband." We could not hold in our chuckles at this unexpected comment. Luckily he didn't feel bad about our reaction to his answer. These kids are so cute and we are very glad to have the opportunity to be a part of their lives and development. Teaching on Sundays isn't all roses and rainbows, in fact, we are usually quite relieved when primary ends and we no longer need to keep all the kids reverent. However, moments like these keep us smiling and happy that we can spend time with these sweet, innocent children of our Heavenly Father.
Recently, I read through a General Conference talk from last October, Be Ye Converted. In reading the words of Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, I was suddenly reminded of one week several years ago that I spent near Manteca, California. I was a young teenager, excited for a trip away from home. Not too far from home, though, as I was going to stay with my Aunt Kathy. I flew by myself for the first time, and cried a little bit as I said goodbye to my mom. I really had no idea what to expect that week, but the things I learned changed my entire life.
My activity in the church started when I was barely 13, as a New Years' resolution. I could see that my friends were happier than me and church attendance was really the only difference between my life and theirs. I know, not exactly typical. I'm not entirely sure if my trip was the immediate Summer or the one following, but I was still getting a feel for the spiritual life.
I always loved seeing my Aunt Kathy, and this year she offered for me to come visit for a week and attend girls' camp with her ward. She helped plan the camp and was going to be up there all week with the other 12-18 year old girls in her area. I was really excited for the opportunity, but also very nervous to be somewhere so new with people I didn't know.
While I don't remember a lot of details about that week, I remember being so touched and inspired. The theme was based on a song by Jenny Phillips - Live Like You Believe. I was in awe at the strength and happiness of my new friends. I grew up surrounded by the LDS faith. I basically lived the standards by default. These California natives talked all week about the trials they went through in picking good friends and sometimes being teased for the decisions they made based on faith. As a 14-year-old, I was incredibly impressed. I felt so fortunate. Besides the moral strength, the spiritual maturity in this group touched my heart.
On one afternoon, we had a special guest come up to camp. Lucky me, it happened to be my cousin, Matt Daley and his new wife, Kimber. In true youth activity fashion, they changed into their wedding outfits and visited with us about their story together. They put emphasis on a temple marriage. From the short time hearing from them, I saw honesty, love, and happiness in their relationship. From that time forward, a temple marriage became one of my biggest goals. I wanted so badly to have a relationship like Matt and Kimber...now they have two kids and live in Texas, and I'm hoping my family life will be just like theirs.
By the end of the week, I was so excited about life. I learned about camping, tying knots, hiking, and a lot of spirituality. All of these memories flood back to me each time I listen to "Live Like You Believe." Even without an emotional connection, the song is just beautiful. It has such a special place in my heart. I hope you enjoy:
We've done quite a lot this weekend! The indoor soccer tournament I had registered for with a few buddies started on Thursday night. The tournament lasted from Thursday to Saturday night. We had a record of 3-2 during the group stage and were knocked out in the first round of the tournament. I scored three goals during our games! It was great, our team was full of upbeat and fun people. A lot of the teams in the tournament were really intense and would get mad at their own teammates for making mistakes. Watching them reminded me of a huge reason why I didn't stick with soccer. After the tournament was over, I was really hungry. Craving some calorie-dense food, my mind was stuck on eating a Big Mac meal. True to form, I had not used some McDonald's gift certificates that I had been given as part of a birthday gift about 8 years ago, so we drove home to get them. After 8 years, McDonald's accounts payable account finally balanced. And their accountants rejoiced exceedingly. Trisha and my teammates' wives/significant others were our team supporters, they provided us with halftime snacks and a solid cheering section, it was really great! I'm glad that Trish is such a good sport, coming to each of my games to support me.
After our games on Friday night, we hosted some of our team for a FIFA party. We had ice cream and played FIFA for a few hours. It was fun to relax at the start of the weekend and having played two games that night.
On Saturday morning, we went to a marriage symposium that had some great speakers. First, we heard from John Bytheway! I remember all of us loving his tapes with funny songs. He gave a great talk that gave 10 principles for a happy marriage. Along with the great lesson, he did a perfect impression of Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show. It was amazing! Following his remarks, we heard from Brother Goodman, a professor from BYU. He gave a great talk about intimacy within marriage. He focused on the Godly nature of this gift and how we can increase our love for each other through it. We were able to sit next to some good friends during this symposium and had lunch with them afterwards.
That's it for this week. Stay tuned for more regular updates :) Until next time!

Soo... Sorry that we haven't posted anything in ages, I wish we had a good excuse, but it's mostly that we just forget we have a blog and then remember when we're going to bed and resolve to do it the next day, but never do. Then we repeat this cycle. However, today we are breaking out of our Groundhog Day-ish routine to bring you an update of our lives.
The beginning of the year has brought a lot of change in our house. For starters, we lost our roommate! Tyler moved up north for a good job opportunity. We miss him, but he really loves the job and sounds like he will do well with it. To compensate for not playing racquetball anymore, I have started doing "Insanity" with some goods friends up here in Cedar. If you have not heard of insanity, here is a link with a sample of a workout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLK28BHJDd8. These workouts last for 45 minutes and they are the most intense workouts I have ever done. The first few days were unpleasant, but now following each workout I feel so good! It's weird, but nice:)
Another change is that Trisha has taken the semester off from school because she will start coaching softball for the Canyon View freshman team! She will be altering her work schedule so she can attend the practices and games. She'll start work at 7am, work during lunch, and leave at 3 so she can make it to the field for practice, which is held from 3-6. Needless to say, she will be very busy this semester! She is really excited, and I know she'll do great!
We have more to report, but for the sake of retaining reader interest, I will separate that into another post so those with glazed-over eyes can take a break. Again, we are very sorry for shirking our blogging, we'll put our shoulder to the wheel and blog along :)
We spent Thanksgiving up in Elk Ridge with Trisha's family this year. It was filled with good food and good company! We had a great meal and I was introduced to a few secret family cuisines such as Giggle Juice. The recipe is a close-kept family secret; don't ask me for it or I'll force it down your throat and have you giggling until Easter! The feast was great and we visited for a few hours afterwards over pie. After we had recovered enough, we prepared ourselves for.....BLACK FRIDAY(it was Thursday night, but it counts)! I wasn't sure what to expect as we began our descent off of the mountain to our first target, er, destination: Wal-mart. We went straight for the super-cheap movies that were lined up against the meat aisle spanning the entire length of the store. The deal officially began at 6 pm, so there were scores of people lined up waiting to break through the tape that separated them from their prizes. At 6 o'clock, the barrier was removed and people flooded the area and picked up as many movies as they could hold. Luckily, we had our handy-dandy 11-year old that could dodge and weave between people as she bravely plucked movies from the shelves and returned them to us so we could take inventory. I got into the heat of it and snatched a copy of Despicable Me from some unsuspecting child. He already had three, save some for the fishies, kid. I know it's harsh, but the kid needed to learn a lesson about life, and what better time to learn than on Black Friday? I'm just kidding, that was a work of fiction; I'm not that heartless :)
Following Wal-mart, we went to Kohl's and Shopko. There were some serious deals! We saved $102 at Kohl's and only spent $34! In fact, we were basically done with our Christmas shopping before December even began! And we got 3 Harry Potter movies for less than $5 at Wal-mart. I had a great time with family as we awed at the spectacles that accompany this event. The moral of the story is that although Black Friday is portrayed as this crazy event, there are great deals, and great fun to be had.
On Actual Black Friday, Tyler, Kamri, and I went to Lowe's Air Sports in Provo while Trisha worked on a research paper. It is an open gymnastic gym for anyone to play around in. They have a lot of foam pits and Olympic quality trampolines to play on. We had a great time on the 20 foot rock wall that hung above a foam pit so you could jump off once you reached the top. Kamri said it was fun to just fall backwards once you had reached the top, it was so fun! It is a surprisingly long freefall! Tyler convinced me to try backflips on a mat. He would spot me and help me improve my form. I got pretty close to landing a few, but couldn't quite hold my tuck for long enough. There was also a trapeze that we swung from into a foam pit. Tyler dared me to try a backflip from the trapeze to the pit, he was hesitant to do it after he had landed weirdly the last time he tried. I went a few times but chickened out when I let go. Finally I decided I would regret it if I didn't do it, so I got up there and did it! It was so cool! On a side note, I've decided to give up school and pursue trapeze-artistry. It's real.
So that about sums up our Thanksgiving weekend, sorry it was such a lengthy account! Also, if you pay for Trisha and I to come visit you, I will teach you the art of the trapeze. Or, to save some money, look for my act coming to a circus near you.
My favorite sports team, Real Salt Lake (Soccer) has been doing very well this season, so well that they have made it to the Finals in the playoffs! Throughout the off-season, local TV stations have been airing their games, which is so great! Trish, Dad, and I have been able to watch their games and follow the team quite well this season. Unfortunately, the past two playoff games have been on Sunday nights, but there are replays posted online an hour after the game. I didn't want to watch the game on Sunday, so this I went on a Facebook and phone fast so that no one would accidentally tell me the score, there is nothing worse than watching a 90 minute soccer game when you know the score beforehand. Trisha's brother, Tyler, our friend Adam, and I all woke up at 4:30 on Monday morning to watch the replay before school and work since the score was bound to be mentioned at some point throughout the day. We though we might as well make it a bit more pleasant, so we hooked up a computer to the TV for a bigger screen and had a french toast breakfast before we started the game! It was a ton of fun supporting a great team with great friends. Real Salt Lake takes on Sporting Kansas City on December 7th for the MLS Cup! Luckily this game is on a Saturday :)
First off, let me start by apologizing to our blog for the two-month period of neglect. To be quite honest, I completely forgot that we had a blog, but Trisha recently brought up the fact and so here we are! Wow, these past two months have been very busy with work, school, travel, and a bunch of fun! School has been keeping our household quite busy, the semester is coming to a close. If I'm correct, we only have 3 weeks until finals, holy cow! On the work side, I got a new job in Student Services on campus as a budget assistant. I manage department budgets, set up new ones, and talk soccer with my supervisor. I quite enjoy that part :) Trisha's office recently had a huge organizational shift, she has a new supervisor and the organizational hierarchy has been changed. So far so good, but she is sad to see her other supervisor go since he had been coming out of his shell a bit more in recent weeks.
Trisha's brother, Tyler and I have become great friends! He and I have recently taken up racquetball and play every night at the PE building on campus. I currently hold the advantage in games won 12-9, but that can change quickly, we are really evenly matched. My body is taking a beating though, diving on that floor has left me with some good bumps, bruises, and floorburn.
We dressed up as partners in crime for Halloween and accompanied Mckay, Benson, and Lily as they trick-or-treated in mom and dad's neighborhood. A lot of fun was had by all! I had wanted to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" on Halloween. But since we didn't have it, we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks: Jekyll and Hyde with Benson, Mckay and Beej. It was quite ridiculous, but filled us with a good amount of Halloween cheer.
Trisha helped her mom coach a 12-U softball team this weekend. I was able to go and watch all of the games. It was a great tournament! Trisha loves to be with the girls and does a terrific job of teaching them while making it fun for the girls. It is very cute to watch as she interacts with them. :) She is very much looking forward to coaching Canyon View this Spring. She will be amazing!
We recently celebrated our 6-month wedding anniversary.....that is crazy! Time is really flying by. I love Trisha more and more each day. She really is the best :) She treats me so wonderfully and knows my likes and dislikes. For my birthday she secretly purchased tickets to a Real Salt Lake game and surprised me with them the week before my birthday. She is amazing and I couldn't ask for anything better :)
Well, that sums up the past few months. I promise we will be better at keeping up with the blog in the future. Until next time!
Much has happened since Christmas in July: Real Salt Lake vs. Portland, Onion Days, Fall semester, an extra roommate....hopefully more details for those will be coming soon. Today, my loving husband is 22 years old. It's almost 9 pm and I've only seen him for about 15 minutes, but I've been able to think all day long about how much I love him. And now you get to hear some of those thoughts =)
David is everything I could ask for. He is always telling me how cute I look or how much he loves me. We'll have a 3 second conversation on the phone (like when he calls to say he's outside of my office to pick me up) and he always says he loves me. It's so hard to get out of bed in the mornings, because after the alarm, David cuddles up to me. But it's hard to get ready quickly, because he hugs me at least 4 times while I'm doing my hair and make-up. And RIGHT when I walk through the door after work, he wants to hug me. He's just so full of love and affection. Any girl would love to hear those things, and I get them everyday.
He also is so patient, kind, and helpful. We have been know to push each other out of the way, in a battle to do the dishes. He's so good at listening that I used to beg him for his own stories and opinion. In owning a home, we have experienced several things that newlyweds typically don't go through, like nursing a yard back to life, setting up a washer and dryer, and replacing a toilet flapper (I actually don't know what it's called, because David fixed it. But I do know it looks like a flapper). He is so willing to help with dinner or the laundry when I don't have enough time at home to do so. As I hear some of my other friends talk about their role in the home, I'm so grateful that David looks for opportunity to do things around the house for me. Sometimes I let my work, school, and busy schedule get the best of me. Of all the things I'm learning from our marriage, David is teaching me to love the little things, and just relax.
I love him more and more everyday. He is such a part of my life. Recently, he left for a day and a half to help the SUU soccer team on an away game. I got so lonely! I look forward to loving him forever and ever. I sure love you, David. Happy birthday.
I am a HUGE Christmas fan. I love everything to do with it! Christmas music, food, traditions, family, magical lights, cold weather, hot chocolate, etc. If it were up to me, we would begin the next Christmas celebration on December 26th...well I guess the 27th since Trisha's birthday is on the 26th, we'll let her have her day in the sun;)
However, such devotion would probably cause Christmastime to lose some its magic. During High School I devised a solution that would allow us to keep Christmas in our hearts just a little bit more each year: Christmas in July! I vowed from that day forward that when I got married, my wife and our family would observe this wonderful holiday each year. Luckily, Trisha is an amazing wife and was the muscle behind the planning/organization of the event (especially when I found out that a Real Salt Lake game would be televised in the middle of our celebration. This made me want to reschedule the event for another day.) So the event planning continued. We planned the event for July 20th at 7:30 pm. We spent the morning/afternoon shopping for and setting up decorations and food while listening to various Christmas albums. Our friend, Kate came and helped us, which was greatly appreciated! We set up the tree, strung up lights and put out a candle to infuse the air with Christmas! We even set the thermostat down a few degrees so that during the movie so that people could cuddle under the blankets we set out. It was perfect!! Our neighbors have a 2 year old that loves Christmas as well, so we brought him over to help us decorate the tree. He loved it and was so cute. Every time he put an ornament on the tree he would immediately start scouring the room saying "One more!" After that, everyone started to show up. We had sugar cookies to decorate, hot chocolate to drink, paper and scissors to make snowflakes, and a good soccer game to watch. We decided to opt out of watching Elf due to time constraints for those traveling home to St. George that night. The spirit of Christmas left the room for a few minutes in the 96th minute of the soccer game due to poor form from the ref resulting in the winning goal for the opposing team. I will probably get coal this year for the negative thoughts I had about the whole situation. However, after another mug of Cocoa in my Grinch mug, I felt much better.
I would say that the first annual Christmas in July was a marvelous success! We had a great time with great company and the start of a great tradition.
I want to mention Trisha again, she put in a lot of effort to make sure that Christmas in July was all I imagined it could be and more. I am very excited to have her as my Merry Christmas Darling each and every Christmas:)
Last week, we were able to host two of Trisha's siblings on Wednesday and Thursday. Her brother, Tyler is transferring to SUU and attended orientation. We were able to go to Roberto's Mexican Restaurant and Wednesday Tennis. Tyler was probably the best one at tennis. He was doing really great! He was putting some good spin on the ball which impressed everyone there that I talked to. After tennis, we came home and watched some White Collar. We all love that show, it is so good! While Trisha was at work and Tyler was at orientation on Wednesday, Kamri and I got to hang out! Kamri and I are not very familiar with what there is to do in Cedar, so we decided to spend the afternoon playing cards and Jenga. After a few rounds of Jenga, we started building structures with the blocks. This was a blast! All of this engineering sparked my imagination. I remember building card houses with Dan and Becky when we were younger. How cool would it be to bring blocks and cards together? So Kamri and I started Phase I of our construction. The base of the building was to be made solely of cards. Our goal was to make the foundation strong enough to support a tall tower of Jenga blocks. While this seemed impossible, we pressed on. During phase one, Kamri found the strongest way to form the cards; each formation she tested was put to a weight test. After this testing, we found that a triangular grid would be the best base to hold the additional weight of the blocks.
During Phase II we finished construction of the lobby area and began to work on the pool area of the card mansion. To add monetary value to this mansion, we had to make this aesthetically pleasing. Our pool area was to be in the middle of the home and be surrounded by bedrooms. A second story veranda wrapped around a portion of the pool area.
Phase III consisted of building the tower over the main lobby. Our biggest concern was that the weight of the tower would be too great for the card rooftop. Our construction was delayed by a cave-in while we were trying to install more roofing to spread the weight of the tower. After this delay, we began construction of the tower. This was a very risky job; one wrong move and the entire home could be demolished. We had previously designed a mockup of the proposed tower, so construction went quickly. Here is the finished product:
Although the wise man probably shouldn't build his house upon some cards, our mansion goes to show what some good imagination and a lot of free time can accomplish.
As the monotonous cycle of work --> schoolwork --> sleep threatened our night again, Trisha and I made a run for it and went to play some friendly tennis. There are some great people that play every Wednesday through the Summer, and this was our first night joining their game. Tennis wound down and the group of us went to get snow cones at the wonderful Tiki Shack. We had a nice, relaxing break from our studies - but the real fun started during the short drive home...
After turning onto our street, I felt a foreign object on the edge of my shorts. Unsure of what it was, I investigated the scene with my hand, making sure to keep my eyes on the road. The object was poky, so I assumed it was just a big piece of old brush or something. Since we were so close to home, I decided I would wait and throw it away once we returned home. Bad idea. Suddenly, the object wrapped around my finger! This surprise accompanied by the need to open the garage door and shift into a lower gear really made my manly instincts kick in. As any self-respecting adult male would do, flailed my arm in panic and flung the creature into an unknown part of the front seat. Fortunately, I was able to mask my terrified scream with a sound that somewhat resembled a lethargic ghost. In a state of panic, I frantically pressed the garage door opener repeatedly. Just as the door began to open I would accidentally press it again and it would begin to close again. This only prolonged our time sitting in the driveway in a dark car with a big unidentified bug on the loose. Finally after three or four attempts, the door made its seemingly eternal ascent until we were able to pass under it. I immediately sprung from the car swatting at my clothes and making absurd noises. Trisha spotted the beast sitting in the middle console of the car. This is what she found:
WARNING: IMAGE MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN
So now we were faced with the task of getting this behemoth out of our car. Trisha went inside while I battled with my wits and tried to find a way to get it out of the car without touching it. We have a sprinkler key that is about four feet long with a scooped handle, but to avoid scooping it out of the gearbox and onto the car floor, I needed some help. Trisha willingly came out to help me. She held a box as I stood behind her with the four foot long pole and scooped him in (All the while, I kept freaking out as Trisha kept a composed demeanor.) The mission was a success and we returned the beetle into the wild (I would have killed it if it weren't capable of eating my shoe.) In light of this encounter, we've decided that being outgoing is overrated. If you need us, we'll be doing our homework.
The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. It was such a treat when I was told I got two days off of work!! I have been hoarding my vacation hours since I started working full time...first for Christmas time so I could stay in Northern Utah for a friends wedding, then for the honeymoon, and now for a family vacation. Any time off is very nice.
This great event called for a trip to Elk Ridge, Utah, to visit my family. It was such a fun weekend!! On Thursday, we were still livin' in a heat wave. Ugh. We made a trip to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy and had a really great time. We touched sting rays and sharks....it took me a few minutes to work up the courage. During the few hours we were there we saw the sharks, anaconda, and penguins all get fed. Good stuff. There were otters (who like to show off, and sleep), glow in the dark scorpions, an octopus (those things are creepy looking!), and lots of fish, of course.
After the aquarium we had a BBQ at my sisters house and drove to Orem to watch the Stadium of Fire firework show. We saw a few other shows from the houses around the neighborhood. Lots of people and lots of fun =)
On Friday, the main event was a four wheeler ride up Hobble Creek Canyon. The loading of the wheelers and drive to the trail was long and hot, but so worth it. David had TONS of fun driving the four wheeler, singing operatic versions of Home on the Range and She'll be Coming Round the Mountain. He also made his own video game style background music when we started going fast. He's such a goof, and I sure love it. We had a awesome view from the top of the mountain, where we had a picnic and suffered an attack of killer flies. Only about 10 minutes after loading up the rain hit, and it hit hard. That was great to curb the heat, and also because David gets almost giddy when it rains. It was about dinner time when we got back, so we wiped the dust off our faces and legs and got going to Senor Moose. Weird name, huge burritos, and friendly people.
Saturdays events seem to slip my mind and David's. Shopping, mostly? Which David only partially participated in. Good thing I've got a good brother to keep him company. Also, softball practice. I went to help my mom and David thought he could sit at the house and study economics...nope! Wonderful brother to the rescue! So they played video games, yay!
The rest of the weekend was filled with games with the little sister, and odd shows about wedding dresses or bizarre foods. We took left overs and strawberry jam home =) and look forward to a weekend with the family again!
Well, here we are: the David and Trisha power duo, out to conquer the blogging world...but not really. I'm not much of a writer, and I'm not sure David is either. Forgive us for brief messages and sometimes infrequent posts. As many women do, I may spend more time picking the background for this lovely blog than writing in it. But, write we will - as often as we can.
This blog is especially inspired by David's siblings and parents. And as the final addition to the Robertson clan, I remind you of the times old saying: last the best of all the game.
