Last week of October

This week has been busy and fun. Steve's birthday came and went. We had 2 separate dinners, Wednesday and Saturday, with our kids, can't get them all together, and never did get with Matthew and his family. We had ice cream and cake on Sunday with Heather, Ike, and Bethany. We got Steve a GPS navigation system. We've wanted one since we used one in North Caroline on our trip with Heather. We're looking forward to not getting lost ever again!!!

After dinner on Wednesday Bethany and I went and bought some material and I made her a vest to go with her pirate's costume for work the next day. Check her block for pictures of that. She was real cute.

Bethany, Ike, Steve, and I went to Odyssey Dance Company's Halloween production of Thriller last night. It was great entertainment.

My mom had double knee surgery this week so I've been trying to do my work while spending time with her also. She's in rehab now and doing well.

Steve and I helped Heather move into her new condo on Monday, well more like Steve and I moved Heather's stuff into her condo on Monday. By the time she got there after work we had moved everything in with the help of a few men from her complex. She's very happy to be in her own place. She's hoping to have a couple girls from work live with her. She's only 10-15 minutes from work. She loves it.

Here's a funny story for the day. On our way home at about 10:30 p.m. I was going east on 4100 South near our home. As most of you know 3600 West has been blocked off for nearly 4 months. It's all paved now but you're not supposed to turn to go northbound on 3600 West off 4100. Well, it was late and I didn't want to go around so I just made the left turn anyway. A few seconds later there were police lights behind me. I pulled over and Steve and I were laughing because we'd both turned there before and never gotten caught. Anyway, it took a couple of minutes for the police officer to come up to the Suburban. I rolled down my window with my license in hand. Here's our conversation, more or less:
Officer: Didn't you see the big no left turn sign back there.
Me: Yeah but I just didn't want to go all the way around again.
Officer: Yeah, this has been a big mess for awhile hasn't it.
Me: Yeah.
Officer: Well, you folks have a good night.
Boy, I sure got away with that one. Steve and I laughed all the way home. We figured it took so long for the officer to come to the Suburban because he was checking our address to see if we had any business being there.

Another funny story. Bethany spent last weekend in Washington DC with her friend. I called her Sunday morning to check on her flight. She didn't answer. I got a text from her and we went back and forth something like this:
Bethany: I'm in church right now, yeah the singles ward.
Me: Do you have your ring on? (I was trying to be funny)
Bethany: No I have it on silent.
As Steve and I were laughing I was sending this text--I mean your wedding ring.
Just as I sent it I got this text--Quit laughing, I just figured out what you meant.
Me: ROFL (rolling on floor laughing)
When she got back she told me that as soon as she hit the send button she realized what I meant and she started laughing. Her friend asked her what was so funny and she told her she would tell her later. Bethany makes us laugh. Anyway, she had a great time with her friend and wants to go back with Isaac really bad. Check her blog for those pictures as well.

I'm going to try to attach a you-tube link here that Nathan put on of Macy. Hope it works. It's hilarious.
