This morning kind of felt like a choreagraphed dance getting Conor out the door. He and I woke up late this morning. I made lunch, etc and then I had to pass him everything as he walked out the door: jacket, backpack, collared shirt, binder, house key, kiss… I feel a little suprised that everything made it with him! Surprised and impressed. I’m a little glad it’s over! Ha!

Yesterday, we went to the temple. We met with the temple president, President Brown, about serving there. As it turns out every Wednesday morning 7 – 10:30, we’ll be serving in the cafeteria/dining hall. And then we can go to the 11 o’clock session. We were set apart too, which is something we didn’t see coming! After that, we had a chance to do sealings and then a session. I’m really glad for this oppurtunity! I think it’ll be great to go to the temple every week. It makes me grateful we came to Colorado. In no way could we do this if we were in Calgary. I think this is just such a great oppurtunity! Plus when I have children, going to the temple will be near to impossible especially since I plan on just keeping ‘em coming until we get to at least six (that is if we can ever get to just one). I’ll still be able to go here and there, but obviously not as often as I’d like. So I’m excited to get really familiar with the endowment. I’m really feeling blessed!

Today is a busy “to do” day before I hit up the office at 4 pm. Laundry, groceries, bread, tidying, etc are on the list! Because I don’t have any way of getting american money myself, I have to ask Conor for money. “Conor can I have some money to buy groceries?” It’s a funny thing more than anything! So I get the checking card today!

Okay! Well I wrote a blog yesterday and got distracted and I didn’t save the dang thing so here I go… again!

Saturday night we did manage to locate the baseball tickets and we did go to the baseball game. It was so fun! I never ever imagined that a baseball game would be so thrilling and fulfilling, but hey! you learn something new every day. It was just one of the best times. It was so fun to just go out with Conor and do something neither of us has ever done before. The Coors Field stadium is fairly new and really nice. It’s huge too! We sat one row below the mile high seats. At first I felt a little freaked out at being so steaply high up, but I stayed calm and relaxed. What a great experience! We totally want to go to another game again. It was even more fun that the home team won! One time, everyone in the stadium did the wave and it went around a couple times too which was really impressive. Oh and at I think maybe the seventh inning (during the inning stretch), everyone stood up and sang the ball game song… you know…

“Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the crowds
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don’t care if I never come back
‘Cuz it’s root root root for the home team
If they don’t win it’s a shame
Because it’s one, two, three strikes your out
At the old ball game!”

One of the funny parts with that is that the song was played sing-a-long style on the big screen except the notes they put with it weren’t even close to the right notes pitch wise and tempo wise!

Conor sold 5 accounts yesterday! It was so exciting! I was/am so proud of him! The office was a nut house last night. Our office sold 82ish accounts which is our new record. Things are exploding! Conor and I went to Applebee’s last night. It was alright. My salad wasn’t as good as I would’ve liked it to be but whatever!

This morning I really wasn’t feeling good. My tummy was sore. Yesterday was worse. So at least I’m on the up! I just feel so tired all the time. It’s retarded.

Tonight we’re going to go to a Rockies baseball game as long as we can find the tickets. Where they went is a mystery. Unfortunately they are also with our bank account information. So we need to find em!

“You are entering this property at YOU OWN RISK!! You could be injured or killed. No insurance is provided. Helmets are required,” said the sign.

And so we entered, fearless.

No insurance is provided? Big deal. We have travel insurance. Helmets are required? Sure, but next time maybe you could make them stink less. My own risk? I do enjoy a risk every now and then.

Perhaps you are questioning what the heck this is all about. It’s all about intense, 50-60 mph go-karting just north of Thornton. It was sweet! We had to wear thick coveralls, helmets (duh), and neck braces. Gloves were optional. It was really fun. We went in heats of six people. When it was my turn, my goal was to not spin out or fall off of the track. And I didn’t! I actually pulled off second in my heat just a couple seconds behind numero uno! It was sweet! I totally owned that track. I love being a girl and breaking the stereotype. I’m sure all of the guys expected the girls to spin out or fall off the track. And they all did except me. It was awesome! Conor came in second in his heat and then third in the final race! That was really fun! Marc Ostler picked up some martenellis from Target. The first, second and third place winners stood on a picnic bench and got to shake up the martenellis. It was a good time!

First off, Liz you’ll just have to have a fourth child. Second, yes Jim we do owe you another batch of cookies. You’ll be glad you waited until September when I come home with a variety of chocolate chips!

Conor and I almost came home on Saturday. But instead, we worked something out with Johnny and Jason. I am going to work part-time in the office and part-time on the doors, which basically means I won’t receive so much rejection! I am really loving this simply because now I have time to bake bread, clean house, grocery shop, do laundry, etc. It’s really fabulous because I’ll be able to make sure there is good food to eat in the fridge. As I result I think both Conor and I will have way more energy. I’m so glad. On Saturday I realized that all I want to be is a wife and a mother. I really enjoy being a homemaker and I think that that is the only thing that will bring me a fullness of happiness. I love keeping my house clean, baking bread, making dinner… I plan on being just like my mum and having dinner at 5:30 every weekday evening. I really love taking care of Conor and making sure he’s well fed, has clean clothes and a tidy house to come home to. I am excited to through some children into the equation. I think everything will just get better with babies. Ha! Am I naive?
