The Beginning of the End!

Well, Dave has been in school for a week now - for his final year of high school! CRAZY - I can't believe that it has come and I know that it will fly past, so we are trying to enjoy each minute. He is very involved in the school, so it literally is his second home, the first week proved that with all of the activities for "opening week", which included things like slip and slide kickball one night, mud volleyball another, an open swim at the city pool another night and for the opening I think it was a barbecue for all of the new students. He also had a council meeting every day at lunch, one for drama, choir, hosa, elections and eligibility, etc. I remember one night him running in through the door with a swim suit on and me saying "are you ready for dinner?", and him saying "I don't have time I have to change into my exec clothes, I have to be back to the school in 5 minutes to meet the parents for back to school night". I have a feeling that this year will "fly" by! We will miss all of the fun that Dave brings into our home, he has helped fill the void that everyone else has made as they have left to pursue their lives. Mark and I are trying to stay involved in his life by volunteering in the adult drama council, I am the president this year and Mark is going to help with all of my assignments as well, so that hopefully we can see him!

Becky came home his week during her break - yea! She brought her roommate Chelsi with her as they were going through on the way to Las Vegas to meet Chelsi's parents for a weekend of fun. I think they were going to see a show and swim, etc.. They came on Wednesday night and we had a nice dinner and then wathed a movie, the next day I had to work, but only for a half day, so we went to a mattinee and then that night had dinner at home and played several rounds of clue. It was fun. The next day I had to work again, but I said that I'd take them out to lunch before they hit the road for LasVegas, but Becky wanted me to come home for lunch and make them Panini's, so that was a fun break from the day, after I made them lunch we watched a home video that Vickie had made of one of her kids birthdays when Becky was like three and we watched the scene where the kids were all telling a story where you tell one sentence and the next kid makes up the next sentence and it started to get scarey.....the man came to the door and he said......and there was a noise in the cellar...... and then what Becky, her faces was worth a thousand words.......total fear in her eyes, and then.......I'mmmm sccarrrred!......and she runs and sits in her cousin Sarah's lap and hugs her.......sooooo cute!

Anyway, that was our week, oh, we did on Friday night go to the "new" Brick Oven in town - that was fun, great salad bar, and Dave and Mark enjoyed their BBQ chicken pizza, hope you are all well! Love ya!
