Monday, Monday... so good to me.
{I am definitely a rainy day and Monday person.}
I thought I'd quickly post our weekend details:
Friday night we went to the temple with Tay and Nae.

Saturday morning we headed up north to Westminster for a baptism.
The Sister on the right was added to our Sisters just a couple days earlier, as her companion had to go home for medical reasons. The other two Sisters have been in our ward for a few transfers and THEY ARE AWESOME. They had tracted out the brother, and he had invited his girlfriend to join the lessons, and SHAZAM, mere weeks later they made the decision to be baptized. I've heard of prepared people, but it was amazing to actually witness it (Denise and Cory had one of their lessons in our home). Since Denise lives clear up north, and they wanted to be baptized together, we made the hour-long trek to attend (Bill baptized Denise and I had the privilege of being asked to talk). It was a great way to start the day.
After the baptism, we made the trip home, and Bill, Mar, and Tay went shooting.
While they were gone, I was preparing dinner for the Sisters. My neighbor Misty stopped by and asked if we wanted tickets to the Broncos game that night. Of course, as the Broncos number one fans, I accepted ;-) After dinner-and-a-message with the Sisters, we made the drive {again} up north to catch the game.
I'll have to admit, the stadium is impressive, and it was great {for me} to finally experience the hoopla of a pro football (albeit preseason) game. As I sat there, however, the thought came to me these are not my people. We had some stories and language going on behind us, and an "enhanced" woman in a tight-fitting shirt shaking her booty and grabbing her guy's bum (at least I think it was her guy) a few rows in front. And there was so so much beer. I sat amidst it all and read through my Sunday School lesson. And now I can check going to a Broncos game off my bucket list haha.
Sunday morning Tay and Nae loaded up their cars to head home. It was crazy that their 2-1/2 month stay with us was at an end. Tay loved the company he did his internship with, and was given an offer for employment for next year, so we are thrilled to have them moving our way in the not-too-distant future!
Now it feels like summer has come to an end.
I'm starting back in on my paint project today.
Better get crackin'.
