Never a Dull Moment

Rick ask me on Friday, what we were doing this weekend.  Off the top of my head,  I couldn't think of any one thing we had to do.  YSA were having a day of service, and evening of "water balloon battleship" which we opted out of this time.  We usually try to go to most of the activities,  but like the group to have their own space once in awhile.  Move forward to Saturday.

Jr and crew came to mow the lawn, we had them do some extra work that we knew we weren't going to be able to do. Took 4 runner to be serviced. Phone call = bishop stuff until noon. Phone call during bishop stuff, from Rick's Uncle Bill, saying that they were down in Houston visiting and would like to stop by.  Finish bishop stuff, beelined it for home to straighten up the house. Vacumm, dust, wipe up the kitchen, made sure the bathroom was clean, and started some wash.

Company arrives.  So good to see Bill and May, Julie (Rick's cousin) and Bill (a Vernalite),  their son Parker, his wife Emily, and their little daughter Adelynn. We had a great visit remembering Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen, and fun times in Castle Dale, Utah. Rick spent a lot of time with Bill and May's family growing up.  We even visited  them while we were dating, and later on when we were married. We really liked spending time with their family. We had a great visit, and nabbed a few pictures.

After they left, we scarfed down a burger.  Rick had put off doing our taxes,  because he thought we owed money.  He did however, really need to do his Mom's!  So off to the computer to finish taxes.  He got his Mom's done rather quickly and started ours.  While doing our's  he realized that he had  forgotten to add in the deduction for property taxes!  SCORE!  We got some money back! We are excited about the good news, but it is getting late.  We needed to gas up both cars to make our drive to church the next day. I think we got home at 9:30 pm. Got all settled in my comfy chair and realized that Rebecca, one of our gals from the YSA, had ask if she could hangout at my house until church.  She lives in Katy, and had an early Stake meeting. She is the Stake Music Director.  It is a long drive to go home again before church.  I was going to get some muffins and fruit,  and had forgotten all about it.  Back in the car we went.  Finally, we arrived home at 10 or so. I had to laugh at what went on yesterday, because I thought it was going to be a pretty boring Saturday!
