Eric had to pay a lot to get the car fixed, and unfortunately this morning when we tried to start the car, it still seemed to be having problems. It's funny, it seems like every few months, our car has problems. It'll all work out...
In other news, on Thursday morning, I got Eric and I tickets to the 2017 US Figure Skating Championship at the Sprint Center. I was so excited to go, because growing up, Dad would always put figure skating on TV, and I would get distracted from my homework and just watch until it was late and I still had homework to do :)
The weather was beautiful, bright blue sky, and it's always exciting to be around the big buildings in downtown Kansas City early in the day. The Sprint Center is huge, and it reminded me of a baseball stadium. We had a great time watching the figure skating pairs, and Meryl Davis was there to host it. The music selection was great- "I Know You" from Sleeping Beauty, "Firebird Suite" by Stravinsky, and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" from Evita, among others. It was a great time!
Today was awesome too, because we went to church for the first time in few weeks. Last week was canceled for the ice storm, and the week before that, we were sick. Sacrament meeting was great, one of the talks was about serving when the Lord calls you to do something, and the other was about how we can find joy and peace when we focus on those around us instead of on ourselves. Great messages :) And we met our class, and that was really cool! They are the nine and ten year olds, but I think they were all ten. It's a great age, because they are smart enough to understand pretty much anything you tell them, but they aren't hormonal yet and "too-cool-to-participate", so they still are willing to engage. We are really happy with the class! And when we were in sharing time with our class, we didn't have to worry about our class members grunting and whining that they wanted to go, they needed water, they had to go to the bathroom, they were hungry, their butts hurt, when could they leave? Or jumping up and hopping around in a circle in the front of the class. No, our kids were good. And they actually sang during singing time! It was like a vacation.
And it was hilarious to hear the sunbeams in the room next to us... Screaming, pushing against the curtain divider, sticking a sheet of paper through the curtain divider... Eric and I just looked at each other, and leaned back and we like, "Not our problem!" It was fun.
After church, we had the elders over for dinner, and Eric made pesto tortellini and garlic toast with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip the toast in, and a spinach salad. It was great, and the missionaries always give our home such a nice spirit when they visit.
Anyway, that's all for tonight! Eric has been imitating the breathiness of this kid from this crappy 90's movie (You'll have to set it to 15:04 to start the correct scene. The Blog is setting the scene back a minute or so. It's when he's talking to his parents.)
"I coulda had class... I coulda been a contender! I could have been somebody... Instead of a bum."
"I coulda had class... I coulda been a contender! I could have been somebody... Instead of a bum."
Pretty much spot on, right?
