Mala Sala Chole,


Well I am getting a little behind on what day I write, but I am still writing which is a good 

thing!  Last week we had a few fun things happen.

Sal keeps in touch with quite of few friends she went to college with. One group she sees quite a bit another one she does not see all that often.  The one we don't see that often we had dinner 

with in Salt Lake on Friday at Maxwells. It was fun and the food was way good.  I think Sal 

enjoyed seeing her friends.

On Thursday Sal went to one of our friends in our neighborhood and
got her hair cut, she left about 9:30 at night, I waited until about 11 then I
tried and go to bed but I wanted her home before I went to bed.  After calling
and texting, I walked out of the house about 11:45 in black sweats and a black
sweat shirt to see if  could see our van down the street,  Sal said she maybe
going to the store when she left.  Anyway as I was walking down the street I see
our van coming towards home, so I turned around to walk back to the house.  As
Sal pulled in she did not see that I behind her.  Rather than scaring her I told
her that her hair cut looked cute she then was wondering why I was walking the
streets with no shoes on dressed in black.  Fair question :)  Just
worried.

Earlier in the week about 12:20 am Duke was barking real loud which
he does not do in the middle of the night.  So I got up he wanted to go outside
I let him outside and he then raced to the corner of the backyard and started
baking, I then ran out to get him in my underwear mind you to bring him back. 
Lucking the neighbors did not wake up and no one saw me running around in the
backyard!

Sal found a desk for my mom and dad in Layton, Robby came and
brought grandpa's truck and we went and picked it up.  When we came back we
headed up to Cooper's basketball game.  The game before was Miles so we watched
him play which was fun then Coop played.  Coop did not play a ton in the first
half and when he got in the second half he made the most of his playing time.  He
stole the ball from a kid a head taller then him and every time a he made a nice
play we would pause for a sec and look to the stands to guarantee our approval he
did that a few times it was pretty funny!  Their team and Coop felt good about
how he helped.

I went on a 30 mile bike ride with two buddy's from the ward
Steve and Keith.  They both have nice bikes and have all the gear, I am still
kind of hodge podging everything together.  When I left to go to the house we
were meeting I realized I left my water bottle back at the house.  The first
thing they noticed is I no water bottle for a 30 mile ride not smart.  Keith let
me use one of his.  Then one of my cleats were coming lose on my shoe which this
was the first time I have ridden with them outside thy helped me tighten them
up.  Then we headed out to Antelope Island we drove there and then rode our bikes
on the Island apparently it costs $3 to get on, I did not have any money so they
gave me some money.  Do we see a pattern here.  Then as we were riding they
noticed that my seat was too low so we stopped and they brought it up for me. 
We rode some hills which I am not use to, but it felt good, then we rode by some
Buffalo and I stopped and took a few selfies with the buffalo.  As we finished
the ride they said they had seen some good crashes at the end of these rides so
be careful, we got to the car I was about three feet from the care when I
unclipped on pedal and my body weight brought me to the other side, falling hard
bruising my hip, elbow and most importantly my ego!  All and all it was a run
day.

That night as a thank you for all the work Sal does for my mom and dad
they took us out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, I had not drank enough after
the ride and was not feeling great after a few glasses of coke( yes I know
that's not the greatest but umm was it good) and a few glasses of water I was
feeling way better.  We had a good dinner and headed up to Morgan to a wedding
reception with a current and former co-worker at Focus.

Sunday was a good day at church and then we relaxed at home and then went to my mom and dad's for
Family home evening.  Aunt Linda gave a fun lesson about the states about
President's day.  All the different kids were involved it was pretty
fun.
