MiniGolf and Miller. Well today was a pretty perfect Saturday. Morning TV, some productive cleaning, and then an evening of fun. I had a great time playing minigolf with the Kopecky kids and then hanging out with the whole gang at the Timber Rattlers game. They might be a crazy family at times, but they know how to have fun ;-)

Crafts. Working on presents in the summer sun was by far the best part of today.

Hangin' Out. The best part of today was pretty much the 5 hours that followed 10 hours of work. El Azteca with Sam and Sara, followed by crafty making and joking about a rainbow box ;-) was really fun. A great start to the weekend, if you ask me.

Being important. Today I was invited along to see the progress being made in the Mulva library. With just over a week until move-in, things are getting serious. There are last minute details to work out and some major kinks that need fixing. I felt so important being allowed to tag along and listen in to contractor conversations and give an opinion about certain matters. It's like I'm really a part of it. Cool! Maybe lame? I still like it. I am grateful that my opinion is respected and that I am trusted in my position to bear witness to the completion of such a great project.

Baseball surprises. Surprising the one and only Jim Rohde with a relatively well orchestrated trip to Miller Park was by far the best part of the day. The game was good, even with a loss. Hanging out in the parking lot afterward was entertaining. The ride home was long. Both Laura and I trying to turn down an off ramp was thrilling. The 151 detour was annoying. And the whole day was exhausting. It was, by far, the BEST day of summer so far. I love Jim and all the Rohdes. What good people. I hope to repeat the day soon!

Army Strong. I think the best part of today was trying to figure out just what is the Army's slogan. Be all that you can be? An Army of One? Army Strong? Here's the deal: they used "be all that you can be" during the 80s and 90s, adapted "Army of One" in 2001, and in 2006 turned to "Army Strong." There ya go, now you know. Now, go thank someone you know serving our country!

Lifetime. While in Spain we would often talk about what we missed about home. For me that often meant rainy afternoons sitting on the couch watching cheesy Lifetime Movies with my mom. Today was great because that is just what we did. We watched a Lifetime movie. Thanks Mom for taking the time out to sit back and just hang out watching a low budget chick flick!
