| Holly and the twins happily picking up garbage on Telegraph Road for girl scouts badge |
Monday we ate pizza out on our back patio -- I put down some pavers in the back corner by our bedroom and bathroom awhile ago and we put the table on it. It is the first time since we are in this house that we ate as a family outside. It was nice. The weather was perfect and it wasn't too noisy from traffic or anything.

| Kendall Turner saved the day and showed up with a tractor to haul off the garbage we collected on Telegraph Road! |
Tuesday they had a special young women's program put on by the piano guys. (I guess you can watch it on lds.org if you want to). Katie really enjoyed it.

Thursday we had a going away party - my assistant got a full time job at the police department and her last day was Friday. So we had a fun luncheon with lasagne, bread sticks, and lots of yummy treats. It was good and fun and Sarah will be missed. I have a new girl, Shannon starting next week.
Thursday evening after dinner we went down to Sullivan park for a walk and then got ice cream at Albertson's and surprised gma and gpa with a treat around 8 p.m. We visited for just a little while and then left. Dallas and McK were having a rough day -- they never made it over for dinner cause he hadn't gotten off work until 7:30 p.m. or later. Then close to 9 p.m. they call to tell us the truck broke down (starter went out, needs replaced). We head over to walmart to help get them and groceries home but they get it going before we arrive. They didn't get dinner until after 9 p.m. Tired and long day for them.
Friday was a fun day. After work dad and I went to lunch at Costa Vida with gma and gpa. We had a nice visit. Then I went and did a service project with Holly and the girl scouts. We picked up garbage along Telegraph street. Afterward the boys went to football and McKayla and Marlee came over along with Holly, Katie and the twins and we had a girls night. We painted projects, made cookies and dipped chocolate pretzels. It was a fun evening.
Saturday we had practice for the primary program (which is today) and then volleyball. Dad and I went with the McCallister's and played pickleball for awhile in the late afternoon. It was really fun. We kept switching it up -- girls against guys, dad and I against them, Dad and Sis M against Me and Bro M. I think we ended up played 6 games or so.

Then we got a call from Dallas that McKayla had a washer dropped on her toe as they were trying to move it down the stairs. They came over and it was really painful. She went to instacare and they said she sprained it and hopefully will feel better in 2-3 weeks. No fun!

We went to Keenan Schwalger's wedding reception last night and Ty Morgan's too. We hadn't eaten dinner yet so ended up eating at Sonny Boy's in Hurricane about 9 p.m. We were HUNGRY!
All in all a good week - and a busy week.
Thought of the week:
If it is right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don't give up when the pressure mounts.

"Certainly don't give in to the being who is bent on the destruction of our happiness. He wants you to be miserable like unto himself. Face your doubts. Master your fears. 'Cast not away therefore your confidence.' Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you."
