Quick Trip to AZ

We got into AZ about 230 in the morning on Saturday. We had planned on going on a hike, but then we just didn’t get going. The kids all made plans and were off to their friends pretty quickly. I think McKala misses her friends the most. She even proposed that she be allowed to come back and stay in AZ for her Senior year of highschool. She knew we would never agree to that even though she turns 18 next month. We weren’t that thrilled with her friends. They were ok, but… She definitely is feeling the loss in CA. It is interesting because of the “Autism” tag I would think that those relationships would not be meaningful to her. They are. What IS Autism? We went to Miranda’s play. “Children of Eden” It was odd. There were parts I really liked. I was amazed how much talent there was at the local community college. It was still a community college play. Adam had inadvertent unexplained tattoos. Couldn’t they put makeup on him? Oh well. It was a little sacrilegious  God seemed petty, angry, and flawed. It would be interesting to tell the story without God being flawed. Jarom, Tara (I miss them) and Veda came to the play. They didn’t come with us to Denny’s afterwards. I liked sitting with the family eating breakfast food at midnight. It was absolutely lovely. I love this family. It isn’t complete without Eric and Kendra, but it is very full. Church isn’t until 1130. Kim is right I should have done “priesthood interviews”. I didn’t Yesterday Kim and I went to Lowe’s after we dropped all the kids off. I was so sleepy that i got a scooter cart at the store. We bought some potting soil and some flowers and planted them in the front of the yard. I am glad we did it. It cost us $50 and I doubt it will help sell the house, but you never know. I pushed through nap time but not enough to pull all the weeds in the yard. Rock yards are harder to maintain than lawns. We spent too much money this week. With our budgeting we may have to eat Top Ramen all week. Kim’s budget doesn’t include gas but we spent a lot of going out and the tickets ($12!) and other things. Well it is time to go to church, then a potluck at the Mitchell’s (DRAMA!) then on the road again.
