Soccer, soccer, and more soccer

Dear family,

You are all the best.  I enjoyed spending time with some of you today while others of you were at other soccer games.  I'm glad tomorrow's Friday!

Love,

Dad

Today went even faster than yesterday, and it was a good day.  I joined an online meeting with Blake Moore who is running for Congress in the 1^st district.  He seems like a good guy, but I felt sad that the purpose of the meeting was a fundraiser.  That just seems wrong to me.  I understand that it takes money to run a campaign, but I wish it didn't feel so… sleazy.  Blech.

I had Board meeting today, and it went very well.  I showed them the updated design for the Springville branch, and everyone liked what they saw.  Last month we talked about replacing the credit union vehicle, and today they approved purchasing a used Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid that Stayton purchased today at auction.  Jessie will buy the Camry and have a good vehicle to use for a long time.

After work we began the soccer marathon.  I went to Neil and Spencer's games.  They both played well, but their teams lost.  Julie and the other kids went to Isaac's game.  He also lost.  Immediately after soccer Spencer went back to the high school for marching band.  This is homecoming week, and the high school has the "burning of the S" tonight.  That poor boy is going to be exhausted when he finally gets home.

Thankful: I'm thankful to have a good Board of Directors to work for.  I am glad they trust me and compensate me well.  It's a good feeling.

Ministering: Spencer missed the bus this morning, so I drove him to school, then drove him to soccer, then to marching band, and even made a bonus run to pick up his fancy gloves for marching band and take them back to him.  I need a hybrid! 😊

More later…

Bowling last week (or was it two weeks ago?)
