Busy day treating kiddos at Vaughn Elementary and the CDC.
Picked Andy up from the airport.
Came home to above citation note telling us that we have too many weeds in the alley and that we need to trim our trees.
Ran to a 2 hour meeting that I have to go to once a month to get my teaching certificate (makes sense that I would have to do that huh? can you sense my sarcasm?)
Trimmed trees in order to not pay fine to the city of Aurora. See above picture. It really does not do justice. The pile is about 5 feet tall. We really needed to trim those trees.
Talked with neighbors and found out they got a note too.
Watered, talked with Alan. Blogged. Forgot about the tea I heated up. About to go read some Wild Swans. Then sleep.
Oh to be a physical therapist. This American Educational "river" beam is my current desire. I am on the verge of buying it. I should just bite the bullet and do it because I would use this baby during at least half of my therapy sessions. The only question is: why is educational and therapy equipment SO expensive? NOT FAIR! We are definitely not the ones making the big bucks out there. Come on, give us a break! I need to hit up some garage sales soon too!
Also today:
Very busy day in the PT world. Zoomed from kiddo to kiddo and site to site. Preschoolers came today, so I spent the afternoon trying to meet their positioning/equipment needs.
Saw Alan for about 1.5 hours today.
Played ball with Nigel in an effort to make myself feel better that I deprived him of yet another run.
Ate a very delicious dinner at Phillip and Lindsey's. They made a tapas style dinner with bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini/squash, and a delicious chocolate mousse! ps- we got to hear their story of how they met and got married!
Home. Somehow I always manage to waste time at night. I don't even know what I do. It's already 10:40! Anyone have tips? (especially tips on getting out of bed when you want to and getting to bed when you want to?)
I am reading this book on recommendation from my friend Megan, who lives in China. I am at the beginning right now, but it is a memoir about a girl, her mother, and her grandmother as they live through different time periods in China. I'm excited to learn more about China's history through personal stories. More to come on this as I get more into the story.

Again... can't believe I didn't take ANY pictures of us with Paul and Bethany. Pretty soon no one will even believe we were hanging out together. I really need to step this picture taking thing up!
Fun day with Paul and Bethany and Denverite friends. We picked Paul and Bethany up (well actually it was Al that picked them up) from the airport around 9:30, then we went to Sarah's house for breakfast. We hung out for a good part of the morning and laughed a lot and made fun of each other. (it's really something we do best). We then went with Paul and Bethany to eat lunch and see their cousins. It was JB, Alan, Susan and the Shelton clan. After that, Alan and JB went to play softball and I weeded while Paul and Bethany went to go see one of their cousin's babies. Then dinner and conversation at Eric and Nicole's house (minus Eric). We played hand and foot back at our house after dinner. Unfortunately I completely forgot to take any pictures all day, so you get a beautiful picture of our hand and foot score sheet and the cards we played with. Good, full day.
