Greetings from Kentucky! I hope it’s been a great week.
The twins have started indoor soccer. In Vegas, it is way too hot in the summer to play outdoor soccer, unless we played late at night. Even then, it would be pretty hot. So, to stay active during the summer, and stay in good condition, they joined the indoor team their club put together.
We had our first games the other weekend. There are two teams, both co-ed. Analise and Antonio are both on the same team, with Antonio listed as a double roster in case the other team is short members. The first weekend of games, they played really well. They won the first game 13-0. The second game was a little better matched and they tied 2-2. The third game, neither of them played on that team, but they still won. It was a lot of fun to watch the indoor games. I was in a comfortable chair, in an air-conditioned building and the pace of the games was so much faster! The games flew by, and I really enjoyed watching them. The kids really enjoyed playing them too!
After the games, we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We had our sister-in-law, niece and nephew join us. We enjoyed a nice meal and good company. We all ate too much so we had to take our cheesecake to go, but that was okay!

Sunday was Father’s Day. Happy belated Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I hope you enjoyed your day. We went to Ben’s parents’ house for the day. We spoiled Ben with presents before leaving. I think he enjoyed the gifts we got him He was gifted with cologne, a funny coffee mug, a running shirt and a little plaque from Analise about what being a Father means.
We picked up a giant pizza for lunch at his parents’ house. It was so big they were able to section it into three different types of pizzas. We snacked on chips and dip, enjoyed pizza and then hung out and visited. They got a game of Code Names going, but I hadn’t slept well the night before so I may or may not have skipped the game to enjoy a little nap. All in all, it was a good day.
The week of work following was incredibly busy! I had a huge work event in Vegas on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was a late night and Tuesday was a super early morning, so I ended up staying overnight in Vegas. The event went really well, but I was beyond exhausted when I got home on Tuesday night.
Thankfully, I was able to work from home on Wednesday and Thursday. I needed some mellow days to help me recover. I still had a ton of work to do and spent about five hours on different teleconferences on Thursday. It was a successful two days!
Friday morning, we got up at 2:15 a.m. to get ready to head to the airport. I will fill you in on my trip next week!
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
