Well, I've agreed to coach another season of U7 girls soccer (Abby's team). My brother and I coached last season and it was a true learning experience. We played 13 games and we were undefeated until we lost our very last game of the season. I was pretty bummed that we didn't have an undefeated season but we came close!!! Over half the team is coming back for another season with us, so I am hoping it will be a good one. It is very time consuming, especially, because Alyson plays also. So that means practice for both of them during the week and at least 2 games on Saturday. I did have to miss a few of Alyson's games last season because of time conflicts with Abby's team. Alyson's coach is not returning so I have no idea what team she will be playing for. She tried to talk me into coaching her team too, but I don't think that will happen! I like soccer but my real passion is swimming. I would love to be able to coach for a swim team here in town.

I haven't been feeling very well for the last month or so, so I went to the doctor to have some blood work done to check a few things. I went to Labcorp for the blood work and let me tell you, I have a bruise about the size of an orange on my arm. A nurse in my ward said that they probably hit an artery instead of the vein. I go back to the doctor on Wednesday to get my results and hopefully come up with a reason I've felt so bad lately.

Aaron knows I've been feeling really down and depressed lately so he brought these home for me on Friday. Pretty thoughtful and surprising enough, I felt so good last night.











Aaron built a fire in the backyard in our new fire pit and we sat outside for awhile and watched a movie through the sliding glass door. We have speakers outside so we were able to hear it as well. I made hot chocolate and we ate oatmeal and toast for dinner. It was a nice, relaxing evening and I enjoyed hanging out with the kids and Aaron. Aaron has his tent out and setup so that he could waterproof it before he takes the Scouts ice fishing. He is really looking forward to this trip next weekend.








This morning we went to our caucus location and represented our candidate. It took longer than I had thought and we stayed to help put away chairs. I guess all the years in the church, it wasn't even a second thought.
