Weekend

Yes... I am recycling pictures, but I just love these so much I thought I would share them with you again...

This weekend though... it was awesome despite starting off with a bang.... literally. The house behind us and two doors up got struck by lightening. The resulting power surge shorted out the garage fixtures for basically the entire block. The bone headed builders did not put surge protection on the houses... Now, they are paying for holiday pay for electricians and internet people, as well as all the replacement equipment... Good job builders....

Friday I got two meals at the neighbor's house while Jonah worked overtime. I love her, but she just works so much... I also got to meet a few veterans and active duty personnel. One of them is on his way to Afghanistan in a few months. He is a nice young man, with a baby on the way. I know that he volunteered for the service and that he knew what he was doing when he signed up, but I still can not help but feel for him and his wife. They have a little boy on the way... I could tell from talking to him though that he believes in what he has to go do. Not only that he wants to... God Bless them all... I think a lot of people forget that they are the reason we are free to disagree...

That night though, Jonah and I spent some time together. We went down to Memorial Park to watch the fireworks show as a family. Da lil boy was so well behaved. Just running around our little blanketed area and yelling. Climbing on mommy and daddy, and saying "bow wow" to all the dogs... Then the fireworks started... At first Mikey did not know what to think... then he sat their awestruck... well for about two minutes... then he just started to be a little boy again... Jonah though was in awe... It was another first for her...

Saturday we just laid around and worked around the house. We got our yard weeded and went out for a nice Sushi dinner... If you are ever in Colorado Springs and you want Sushi... Search out Ai Sushi at Cinema Point... they are the best we've had since leaving Maui. We then went for a walk came home and watched movies...

Sunday... much of the same... we had our weekly trip to WalMart for groceries... This week though, we will have to start prepping for our house blessing on Saturday... Should be a long week... I'll tell you more when the time is right... Good Night...

Prayers,

Pisio
