burgers and hot dogs

Yeah for Interterm! This week is Interterm at Bethany, which means I am going to have a very easy week in comparison to the weeks since spring break. Almost all of my tennis players are out of town for the week so we are having no official practices and there are no matches scheduled until next Monday. I am looking forward to going home after school! I feel like I've had no afternoons or evenings at home. We are over half-way through the season though. I can't complain that the season is going by too slowly. We are currently 7-2 and should be able to win a good majority of our last matches before sectionals.

This past weekend was a family weekend. Seth and I spent time with my family on Saturday night, Colin was home for the weekend, and we spent the afternoon and early evening on Sunday with Seth's family. Sophie was spoiled rotten yesterday. She got to go for a jog in the morning, play with Missy after lunch, and run around the farm in the afternoon!


Joel and Emily are coming over tonight. We are going to grill burgers and hot dogs and just hang out. Maybe we can talk Seth into playing some Nerts!

Lazy Sunday

Today has been a lazy day. I stayed up late last night watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and slept in this morning. No church for us. Especially because Seth was playing video games with friends until 4am! Sophie and I went for a run this morning and that is the extent of what I have done. I rewatched the Harry Potter movie again, because it was so good the first time and took a nap. It feels really good to be doing nothing.

I had a huge week last week. 3 tennis matches and practice on the other days pretty much filled up my afternoons and evenings. It was deathly cold this past week too. Anyone who calls tennis a sport for wimps is crazy! The good news is that we won all 3 of our matches which brings my varsity teams record to 3-1. (JV is 4-0). We have two matches during the week and 4 team invitationals this weekend. I expect another crazy week, but then the high school goes on Interterm so no tennis for a week.

Business at the shop has been great the past 2 weeks. Seth and Joel have been pleasantly surprised at the phone calls and walk-ins they've had! Seth has been putting in some long hours, but he is so much happier than he was working at Bashor!

A Newly Christened 1/2 Marathoner!

You'll have to excuse the long lag in updates! I have no excuse. I just haven't wanted to write anything the last two months. Maybe it is because nothing too exciting has happened recently or it could just be the blah months of February and March. Yes, I think that is it. I will blame the dreary months of Feb. and March.

This week has been spring break at Bethany. I spent 4 days in Knoxville with Rebekah at the beginning of the break and we had a few wonderful, exciting, full days. We got haircuts, ran a 1/2 marathon, cheered the Lady Vols on to a NCAA championship, shopped, ate at some amazing restaurants, watched movies (Running with Scissors should be avoided, the Pursuit of Happyness was very good!), biked, sunbathed, etc. I think Rebekah was ready for me to leave so she could relax!

The 1/2 marathon was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. I had trained here in the flatlands but the Tennessee mountains kicked my butt! Still it was a good experience and something I am proud to say I completed! I was a little worried about driving by myself, but 18 hours of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince kept me company down and back!

Seth and Joel have opened a computer shop in Middlebury. Today completes their first week of being open for business. The shop is great and both of them are excited about the location and the potential for growth. Call 825-8400 for Crystal Valley Computers and all your computer needs!

Sophie continues to be the love of our lives! She makes me happy and I think she is pretty content with us too!
