Moon, mowers & more changes...

This was our glimpse this morning,

Kaisha and I,

as we were leaving for Seminary at

6:00 A.M.

That's crazy, you say?

Well, thanks to our "fabulous" school district

the high schoolers will begin school at

7:24 am instead of 8:31

(a change, one month into school)

~

Something about:

"more students than we planned for"

and

"we still don't have enough buses"

and

"the school time schedules are too close

for the buses to get the kids there on time"

oh, and

(my personal favorite)

"we don't know what we're doing".

~

Blah, Blah, Blah!

Why this wasn't figured out BEFORE

school started is beyond me.

And, the same thing happened

last year!

Could've learned something, you'd think!

~

Anyway, back to our morning!

Kaisha is now up at 5am to make

Seminary by 6:15.

It was a beautiful, clear blue sky

with a huge full moon.

Totally worth waking up so early!

We had a pretty uneventful weekend.

I attended a wonderful class

Saturday morning

(Defensive Driving - for that

speeding ticket the first week of school!

Oh, I haven't mentioned that before?

I was slowing down and only going 22

as the hood of the Suburban

crossed over into the school zone

but he caught me - jerk!

There is a "no tolerance policy"

so a ticket I received!

And this was the second day of school!)

While I was gone, Kaisha went to a volleyball

tournament, John and the kids

cleaned the garage and fixed bikes,

and then we went to McD's

for lunch.

Kaisha spent the day with Tiffany.

Kam helped John fix the lawnmower

of a lady in our ward

and then mowed the lawn

for the FIRST TIME by himself!

Then, John and Kerianne

cooked dinner

(2 kinds of chicken on the grill - yum!)

We did hear from Wanda

that Uncle Lanny had a heart attack.

He is in our prayers for a quick

recovery.

Sunday was super busy:

I had my YW Presidency meeting,

then Kaisha & I went to ward choir

practice (first one in our new ward!),

then home for a quick lunch,

off to church,

(John had a ward conference

to go to after sacrement mtg),

then home to make a quick dinner

(bbq pork chops, pasta w/veggies,

corn, crescent rolls),

then John had stake meetings

and Kaisha had a youth meeting.

I do have to give

ALL the credit to Kerianne

for BBQing the pork chops!

I only helped to season one side

and then it was all her!

What a little chef she is becoming!

A day full of { meetings }

but a good day...
