On a Happier Note

Sometimes in the middle of a bad day one of gods tender mercies shows up...today was one of those days. Hallie had just gotten up from her nap and the mail man had just come. We went out to get the mail and Hallie had a PACKAGE!! I think every little kid like to get mail..who am I kidding I like presents in the mail. It was a new music playing Tangled book from aunt Kim. Hallie loved it and made me cry! You see aside from my previously mentioned guilt Kimber has been trying to finish all her school work while stressing about her hygiene boards and being constant prego sick. And in the midst of all of that she thought of us and Hallie. It is nice to know that when you feel like you are lacking in some places that your family can feel those places...Thanks Kimber your the best!

Also I hadn't mentioned between the end of last week and beginning of this week(5 days) Matt and I managed to fit in 3 date nights! Yeah that is a record for sure. Matt has done a great job at planning and lining up date nights. Thursday we got invited to the ABC dinner at the Sheridan in Salt Lake. Matt is on the board as a representative for Wadman. They were receiving an award for a museum they did in Jackson Hole. Thanks to Nick & Brit for watching our girls. Then Friday was the hardhat presentations for graduation. Matt is on the Alumni association, is now on staff at Weber as faculty, and is a representative for Wadman. He help present the hardhats, presented scholarships from Wadman, and was recognized as completing his 1st semester of teaching. He is looking forward to teaching either in the fall or spring he quite enjoyed it. Thanks to Jim & Tamara for watching Hallie that night. And then last but certainly not least on Monday we were invited to the Jazz game to sit in the executive suite. And let me tell you we were not disappointed. When we got there we were seated at our table and then filled our plates at the buffet that included salad, butternut squash soup, sushi, prime rib, catfish, shrimp, lobster, sides, and then at half time a whole new buffet of dessert. After we finish our dinner the game was just getting started. We took our seats on the front row of the box and watched one of the best games of the season complete with triple overtime! We were on the edge of our seats for quite a while and even wondered at times in we would get home by breakfast but in the end the Jazz pulled it out. We had a wonderful time and wished we could go to the Jazz game like that all the time. A big huge thanks to Kerry & Joy for stay up past all of our bedtimes to watch the girls.
