Looking Back / Looking Forward

This week was full of Baseball, a Prom Date, volleyball and too many other things to mention.

Jake went to Prom with a cute girl from our church, just a different ward. Prom in Texas is a little different than Prom in Utah. There is only one Prom and either the boy or girl in the couple must be a Senior - so yes that means that Jake's date was and Senior and she asked him. There is no crazy "asking", you just ask - plain and simple. There is also no "day date" just pictures, dinner and the dance. There was an "after Prom" that they skipped out on because she had to be home by midnight and we didn't object to that at all. BTW - there is Mormon Prom, it was held the night before but Jake had a ballgame and missed out. Anyways, he had fun and it is interesting to see the differences from what we are used to and really glad they had fun and survived driving on the freeway.

The rest of our time never changes just continues on in a line of running kids all over the place. We are very fortunate that Libby and Camdyn's activities are very close because Jake and Izzie are killing us.

Izzie had her last volleyball tournament yesterday and they played the best I have ever seen them play and she has improved so much over the past 4 months. It actually makes me excited for fall and 8th grade volleyball.

I have finally found gals to run with and it is great! My running is not near what it used to be but I am excited about running with these great ladies and starting to push a little.

The best part of looking forward though is I am not traveling this week - the first in 6 weeks - YAHOO! It was pretty sad when I received a text from Izzie on Friday asking me if I was at the airport and I was at a client meeting here in the metroplex. We are excited that I am home to go to Libby's school program, Izzie's athletic banquet and just be able to come home each night - can I get another WAHOO!
