Slacker

SooooO I have come to the realization that I have been a slacker lately when it comes to blog posts.  Next week is our Berean Convention and I have lots lots lots to do to get ready for it.  Then there is the fact that new friends are coming to stay with us during Convention.  So in addition to all that I have to do for Convention, I have decided to re-do the guest room that they will be staying in.  No problem, right?!?  I have a whole week.  Ugh!  Why do I do these things to myself?

It's so hard to believe we would want to get rid of the orange and green walls, but we didn't think our guests would appreciate it very much.  Here are some before, during and I'll have to post after pictures ... after I finish it.

Supply trip

"Helping" - she actually did pretty good

Rugbytown USA

Did you know that Glendale is also called Rugbytown USA?  Yup!  They have a huge facility dedicated soley to rugby.  Chris and Elianna were able to go to a game this Spring.  I'm not exactly sure why I didn't go, but nonetheless, they went and enjoyed their time.

Because my Chris can pretty much talk to anyone, he ended up with free tickets to that days game (match?).  Chris said Elianna did well until the end when she got a little on the antsy side.  But for not really knowing what was going on, she did pretty good he said.

In August, there is a big world rugby tournament here.  Chris would have to tell you it all but something about "the best of the best" will be playing in something like 49 games over the course of 3 days.  He is super pumped and really wanting to go watch some of them.  Elianna and I will be in Florida - perfect timing!

In case you're interested, here is the link that I'm sure is much clearer than my meager attempt to explain something I know nothing about:
