We got the house that we want in Poway, San Diego. Mike was able to meet up with the homeowner two weeks ago when he was in SD on business. From what our agent said, it sounds like the homeowner is excited to be renting to us. And why shouldn't he be??? We are a great family! ;) I just thought it was funny that he chose the word "excited." I feel blessed to be having a good family come to rent our home here in NJ. Mike and I have been working in the yard the last few weekends. We've made some progress and we're hoping to leave the house in good shape inside and out. I wish I had before and afters of the front of the house. I've been doing a lot of spying on all my neighbors yards to see what I like. And Mike has been great at helping me see reason. I had to return four rose bushes to Costco. They were nice but it was for the greater good. I'll try to post some pictures.
We've had a ton of rain lately. There have been plently of cancelled baseball games due to the crummy weather. We did make it to one of Aaron's games last week where he got a hit! Unfortunately this was one Mike missed because it was the week he was in SD. Mike was way bummed to have missed it. He's been working with Aaron and has also been helping as an assistant on the team. Aaron was so excited about his hit. When he made it to 1st he jumped up and down raising his fists high in the air. He immediately looked to me and yelled, "Mommy, I did it!" He couldn't contain his excitement. The first base coach had to redirect him but he couldn't wipe the smile off his face, that's for sure. Most boys his age play it cool. But this is Aaron's first time playing a team sport and I felt just as excited for him.
Today's best moment was waking up to hear Connor who is usually the late riser, sneak into our room and whisper to Mike, "Dad, it's Mother's day. We have to get up and make breakfast for mom." A few other great moments include...getting to talk with my mom, and Lynda, and I enjoyed a great Relief Society lesson on Elder Uchtdorf's talk, "Happiness, Our Heritage." Go back and read it for some inspiration.
Here's a link if you missed it.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
