--for a "family home evening" night, we met our friends Howard and Sandi for dinner at China Express and enjoyed catching up with them! Their home here is up for sale and the home in South Dakota is coming along quickly.
--Rhiannon participated in a jazz band activity and played with her small group at a celebration of international culture in Ridgecrest. She said it was fun and she knew many people there. (She also played with the band at a football game last Friday and an out-of-town competition last night--busy!)
--Oscar the dog got a MUCH needed haircut.
--Jason put on a golf tournament for work. He said there were about 24 participants and the weather was great!
--I drove to Bakersfield one Saturday to take a required class for a teacher induction program I'm in. The class was great, but I HATE that drive. I drove as slow as the semi-trucks to cope. That same night Rhiannon and I went to the stake center to see the General Conference Women's Broadcast. We snuck out afterwards and got dinner at Jack-in-the-Box, just the two of us. Love spending time with that girl--I need to do it more often.
--Last Sunday we drove up to Bishop, CA, for their ward conference there. I loved having my family there with me, and we all had a great time seeing old friends and talking after church at their ward potluck. It was great to test the new car, too--it's definitely a worthy family travel vehicle!
--This week went by quickly. Orthodontist appointment for both kids, brought pizza to sister missionaries one night (we were supposed to host them, but I was not feeling great and super tired that night). Band practice, math club, piano, Crossfit for Jason, tests at school, and Board of Review for Wade who earned his Star rank in scouting--yay!
--On Friday night Jason and I had a date night and had a delicious dinner at Olvera's--love their Mexican food there.
--Jason is my hero for emptying a rodent trap today. We've seen a few "creatures" in the yard over the past few months and saw droppings out by the woodpile. I ordered the biggest shock trap I could find on Amazon, and after two weeks we got our first one. Luckily Jason saw it before I did and disposed of the mouse for me. I love this man!
