It is all very good.

Yesterday was a great day, 

I want to remember some of the best parts.

T and I had a big Choffy event starting bright and early,

What Women Want 

was the name of the event.  

Tina picked me up at 7:00am, and we closed up shop around 3:00,

which we loved because that still left us the whole

evening open to spend with our families.

Truth be told, both of us were

happily surprised at the successful time we had.

It didn't seem like a location that would draw many ladies out,

it was kind of off the beaten path.

I'm not saying we came away rich or anything,

or even that we broke even.

But we each gained a new distributor out of the event,

and loads of great new interested contacts.

We sold a steady stream of Choffy,

our booth is always a popular place to be.

And here's the best part.... 

we had a wonderful time! (at least I did)

Who wouldn't want to spend the day sippin Choffy,

(we have to test inventory quality) 

while sharing info and excitement for a product you stand behind

and personally enjoy....

laughing, talking, sneaking bites of our 

(not good for us at all)

 fried chicken sandwich when there was a lull....

checking out all the wonderful products and services 

that I want....cuz I'm a woman....aren't I?

All while spending time with my wonderful leader and friend.

Loved it.

I got home to a house full of boys and 4 dozen boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

(was shocked there were any left...I jumped right in)

Ryker had celebrated a few birthdays with some friends 

from their deacons quorum, 

and they were finishing off the fun with gaming and legos

at our place.

I love that they still drag the legos out.

I think E gamed the whole day....just my guess....not ideal,

but it was raining so K didn't have him mowing lawn or helping at 

the truck yard, etc.

Lawson HEADED his teams only goal into the net today!!

Sorry to have missed it,

but glad V was able to recap the

 Awesomeness of it for me.

After Kev and I got all the kids returned to their homes, 

and McCauley home to ours.

We headed off for a date.

K was going to see the new Bourne movie last night 

come heck or high water,

so we didn't have much time for dinner.

We opted for Arbys (is that spelled right?)

Fine by me!

We went through the drive up,

I decided to throw caution to the wind and get their new

Hot Turkey sandwich.

Correct choice to have made...

it was excellent!

We pulled off to the side and parked and ate our curly fries and food.

I don't know why we don't just walk inside....

but we never do, I guess we just want to be able to eat and talk 

how we want.

So we talked about Mitt's taxes,

our current driver Fred,

and other stuff....

and at one point K said,

What if everything in life was really for our good and a positive?

Every opportunity, every situation, regardless of what it is or was,

was in reality, a positive event for us.

It is all for our benefit.

Because really anything we go through,

at least looking back on it,

 good comes from.

like:

We learned this from that experience,

We wouldn't have gotten such and such w/out having gone through.....

I am not using his exact words,

but I really loved it.

He is not always one to come up with fantastic 

positive ideas.

I absolutely agree with this one.

Certainly it is not a new concept.

He was really just describing Gods plan for us.

We would never know the good, if we never saw the bad.

We could never be happy, if we've never been sad.

We have got to try the bitter, so that we can know the sweet.

We have got to be hungry, to be glad that we can eat.

Opposition my friend,

Opposition.

A necessary condition in this world of ours.

Man I love My Turn on Earth!!

........................

Kev really hated the new Bourne movie.

He could not stand the actress.....she didn't bother me at all.

I thought the show was a little hard to follow,

but I actually liked it.

We got home,

the boys were winding things down.

I asked Ethan if he had practiced the song I had left out for 

McCauley's baptism the next day.

No.

Will you do it now please?

Mom, this is the hardest piece in the entire book,

there is no way.

 I'm not playing it,

I will never do it.

Choose another song.

Sorry, can't it is already on the program.

Well, I'm not playing it.

I asked Ryker if he has practiced his song,

no I can't find it.

It is no where to be found.

Well I have faith in you that you will never give up until

it is found and practiced.

I went into our bath room, I see the tell tale signs of M's shower.

I don't know how many times I have reminded her that if 

she wants to shower in dad and I's bathroom she needs to tidy up 

after herself.

I see three small articles of clothing dropped and left on the floor,

I see her shampoo and conditioner left in the shower,

I see that one of our towels is missing,

I know where I will find it....

I find it there, in a blob on her floor. 

I go into check on her sound asleep in her bed.

She had tucked herself in,

and braided her own hair into two sweet little side braids

in preparation for her special day today.

I woke her up to tell her we were home and that I 

really liked her braids.

Ethan found a simplified version of the piano piece I asked him

to play on the internet.  

He printed it out, and practiced it.

Ryker found his piece and practiced it.

It was a great day.
