A Blur of a Week...

It all began about 15mins after we arrived in Nampa for Jack's 1st Birthday. Mike was ready for a much needed break from studying for the DAT and was to be taking it the following morning. My phone rang and it was a 208 unknown number. Normally I do not answer, but for some reason this time I did. It was my Dad. He was calling to let us know that he was outside our apartment door. We were shocked as he wasn't suppose to be arriving until the next evening. For those of you who don't know, my Dad rode his Bike from Calgary to Boise. (I know we all think he is a bit crazy and may have an addiction to adrenalin, he may have to start attending AA). The apartment was locked and we didn't want to drive back from Nampa. To make a long story short he got in to our apartment, got keys to my car, got directions and came to crash Jack's B-day party. His stories were great he was burnt and worn down. It was fun to hang with our friends and enjoy the outdoors in the pool.
That began our week of madness. My dad was given some assignments while Mike was taking his DAT and I went to Kelly Ensminger's baby shower. We are looking forward to meeting little Logan. Mom & Chubbs joined the party and it was go-go-go from that point on. I worked all 5 days, which took up alot of visiting time, but Chubbs' graduation was great, we went hiking up at Bogus, went to Tucano's, did lots of shopping and running around.
They left just in time on saturday for Mike and I to attend our wards Pine Wood Derby. (For you Canadians it is a Cub Car Rally). I had never been to one and apparently was never around when Dane was doing his. We bought a coping saw (a little hand saw) and went to town. luckily I had my dad do most of mine and it was just the basic design from the box. You will not believe it but...I won the entire thing. I honestly could not believe it, especially because when we showed up there was some serious talent going on. The paint was still wet even.
Now we are starting another week. Mike is officially done with all his application stuff, as long as things get to where they are suppose to go and I am still trying to get our house in order after the whirlwind.
