We have had some complaints about the last two blogs. Apparently some people don't like it when "mom" writes the blog. They said it was better and more creative when "Jordan" wrote it. Well, you don't have to tell us twice (and mom kind of agrees with the creative part) so I am back! Yeah me!
And now, with further ado- back to the Goedel Family Adventures.
Softball has finally ended, thank goodness (did I say that out loud?). I have started intramurals at school. We are doing 4 weeks of volleyball and 4 weeks of basketball. Our girls won the Tucson Independent Athletic League championship for volleyball this past week and our basketball team is pretty good so this will be a good learning thing for me. I really like volleyball so far and if it weren't for the stupid boys always hogging the ball, I might actually love it.
Did you know that this past week was mom and dad's 10th wedding anniversary?? I had no idea there was even life before I was born but apparently, there was. Mom and dad cannot believe how fast things have gone- the blink of an eye. It's been a fun blink though!
To celebrate, dad surprised us with a trip to Tanque Verde Ranch. This is where they had their wedding reception eons ago. They had always talked about doing a stay-cation there one day and this seemed the perfect time. It was tons and tons of fun. I got to go to the kids camp on Saturday which involved not one, but two long horse back rides through the desert. Heaven I tell you. Mom and dad took advantage of some down time and went for a short hike and then they drove to Starbucks and then came back took a much needed nap and hung out by the pool.
Saturday night was probably the highlight of the weekend. The ranch has a big cookout under the cottonwood trees and it was just beautiful. All my friends from kids camp were there so I got to run around like a crazy woman all night. And then.... mom and dad actually, really and truly talked to new people! They never talk to anyone new and no one ever talks to them so this was new territory for them. It was kind of fun but they probably won't make a habit of it. There were great big fire pits, good food and good family time. We could not have had a more perfect night to highlight 10 years.
Have a happy week before Thanksgiving!
