Saturdays in July

I have been lucky enough to get every Saturday the entire month of July OFF from work. It did require some swapping and negotiating but it has been worth it.  I almost forgot what it was like to have an entire day to just hang out with Lance without any distractions or work that either of us had to do!

The First Saturday:

Lance had a basketball tournament at the South Towne Expo (I don't classify coaching as work).  The Big Mountain Jam was played on sport courts which was rather interesting to see an entire warehouse full of these courts.  I woke up that morning and went for a run while Lance washed my car and mowed the lawn.  We went down to the expo center and watched/coached the JV team which ended in a close loss.  We quickly got our things together and headed to the dollar movies where we were finally able to see the Lucky One.  We've been dying to see it since we both read the book on our honeymoon in Mexico.  It was definitely worth the 2.50 we spent, and afterwards we ventured off to Sweet Tomatoes where we met Rona for a lovely Lunner.  After we ate we had the CHAMPIONSHIP game against Murray to coach the varsity team to victory, and they WON!

The Second Saturday
This day was slightly filled with work on Lance's part.  I, however, spent the morning running, then ventured off to Farmington with Jessie and Liam to go swimming at the pool.  Liam is an absolutely crazy kid in the pool.  He would venture off until he was entirely submerged in the water because he could no longer touch his little feet.  It was fun to see him blow all sorts of bubbles, but even more fun to spend the day hanging out with Jessie and relaxing pool side.  Afterwards Lance and I went to Will Green's baptism which was at a stake center, with 8 other baptisms.  We had both never seen a chapel so full on a Saturday.  We then went to the Farnsworth's house to have dinner with Weston's parents (Weston pictured above).  We took a ride in the Maserati down town to Texas de Brazil where we enjoyed a lovely meal. Completely stuffed and overwhelmed by how much meat we had just consumed we took our first stroll around the new City Creek which is absolutely amazing. Stuffed, happy, and exhausted we headed home!
