Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week.
Last weekend, we had a somewhat full Saturday. We spent the morning getting things ready around the house and relaxing a little before heading into Las Vegas for indoor soccer.
The kids played a good game, but unfortunately, they didn’t win. Immediately after the game, we grabbed a quick dinner in the Wendy’s drive thru, and then rushed back to Pahrump.
The kids took lightning-fast showers and everyone changed and we headed to the wedding reception for a close family friend. The bride taught Analise ballet when she was 5-years-old. Ben was also her teacher in sixth grade, and her track coach.
Sunday was a relaxing day at home, getting ready to go back to school on Monday. Monday morning was a successful start to the new school year. I’m finding it harder and harder to believe how fast my kids are growing up. Analise and Antonio headed off to seventh grade and Isaiah headed to third grade.
I got up to see the twins off with Ben and took some first day of school pictures. Then I got myself ready for work, before getting Isaiah up and ready for his first day of school. He was pretty nervous, and definitely not ready to head back to school.
But, he smiled for my pictures, even though he immediately dropped the smile as soon as I stopped taking pictures.
Despite looking like he was on the verge of tears when I went to leave the classroom, he had a great day. Analise and Antonio had a great day as well, and the rest of the week followed suit. They all survived the first week and aren’t complaining too much about Monday being right around the corner.
This weekend, I had to head down to California for work. Fanbooks set up at a 44-team scrimmage with a Pop Warner group in Southern California to educate the teams on our offering and our partnership with Pop Warner.
It was a warm day, but nothing like it would have been to be outside all day in Las Vegas. I have a little bit of a sunburn, but we had a great response from the teams, so it was worth it to me.
I am happy to be home, relaxing on my couch and I’m ready for a peaceful Sunday, and am hopeful for an afternoon nap!
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
