A Good Saturday


Today was just a wonderful day! I hung out with my familia I took a million pictures, and the weather was simply wonderful.
It all started around 8:00ish this morning with my mother waking us up with singing the mickey mouse song by converting it into what was happening today. It was hilarious and just started the day off so wonderfully. Then half an hour later, we all hopped into mom's car and drove out to eighteen mile to Sarahs soccer game. Dad and I took a walk, since we were there an hour before the game started, and took pictures. I love my father so much, being able to talk to him was such a blessing. I make fun of him for all the lectures he never seems stop giving. However, I am finding them a treat and wanting more when I spend time with him. Though, he does give the most random ones. I remember when he was driving me to school my sophomore year one day, he told me I should make sure before getting a job that my commute to work is good. I laughed because of all things a father could warn his daughter about, he decides this is the best thing for that day. Then again, his oldest daughter wasn't really into most things other girls were at her age. I mean I was always claiming I wouldnt get involved with any guy until after high school...well just about ten days after high school I found myself invovled with a boy for the first time...but we all know how that panned out. ; )
Anywhoo...then just before the game started Mr Rogers came and joined us. Now, boys and girls before you get to excited thinking the childhood hero resurrected, that is my dad's nickname for our intern Kevin Root. Kevin is a staggering (well to me) 6'2 guy who tends to sport one of three cardigans in blue, red, and brown. I cant see any other guy being allowed to get away with such happy clothing choices. (I say this because he may read this since I read his blog a lot) Anywhoo...he hung out and talked to my dad the entire game. I interjected every once in awhile. It was good to sort of catch up with him and see what his plans are.
After we lost the game (Sarah made an awesome attempt at a goal but missed) our family ditched Kevin (well he walked away first, so maybe he ditched us) and headed over to a Cider Mill. We had sooo much fun. I took oodles and oodles of pictures. We got donuts, fudge (which I havent had any yet...hmm), and the best tasting cider ever. We all then took naps when we got home...so nice!
Then mom and I cracked open the math book and studied. Even though I had a pretty nasty headache, we made it through. We watched the 2nd part of the documentary we've been following and now, here we are. It was such a blessed day. Tomorrow is church and Im looking forward too, especially having a chance to actually sit in on worship time. : )

sounds like you had fun, up until the math part.
That is a good pic of the three of you, by the way.
