a week's worth

Since Wayne is working his new shift at Delta (which starts so early he has to leave everyday at 5 AM!) and teaching his piano studio (which recently gained a couple new students), I feel like I'm always running around solo.  I'm constantly saying to myself, "So THIS is what it's like to be a single mom!" (haha).  No, it's not that bad - I actually really enjoy doing some things on my own sometimes - and we totally take advantage of his days off and time at home for family time.  It's all good.

Kina's tonsillectomy was this week so we were all slightly stressed and busy (I've lost count how many slurpee runs we've made so far), BUT we still had a few other fun things go on (and since these are the only pictures I took, these are the only things I remember).

Wayne's little sister Kina (not pictured above unfortunately) is getting married November 19 and we threw her a shower.  We all gathered to decorate the gym the night before the event - it was so fun for me to hang out and laugh and talk with all my sisters for a few hours.  The shower went beautifully and we are all so excited for Kina and Konner's upcoming wedding.

Wayne and I went to lunch at Firehouse Subs in Provo.  It was my first time there and I TOTALLY recommend this place!  The sandwiches are SO good and pretty decently priced.  The other highlight of the place was the electronic drink dispenser. I kinda felt like I just stepped out of my DeLorean and into the future. Pre-ty coool!

On Saturday, all the Alisa's gathered at David and Shan's house for a game and a meal.  We had so much fun.  Michael played a great game (and got a touchdown!) and we all got to hang out, laugh and talk a lot.  Shan made these DEE-licous turkey burgers (which all the boys were hating on cause they weren't "real" meat UNTIL they tasted them) and Wayne brought some yummy Tongan food from Amalani's birthday party that was going on simultaneously in SLC.  It was a great Saturday.  I don't get the Sunday paper (or any paper for that matter), but some nice people made sure I had a copy of these two front page pics of Michael doing his thing.


And that was our week in a nutshell!



**Something I want to remember - Today at church I was sitting in the foyer with the girls waiting for the next meeting to start.  The ward before us was just ending so people were passing us on their way out the door.  A friendly-looking elderly man with a white hair and a nice suit was walking very slowly towards us looking at Kina.  Kina was doing her "Kina stare" right back at him, not saying anything.  When he stopped in front of her and smiled, I nudged her and told her to say Hello.  "Hi!" she says. And after another moment of her staring at him she asks, "Are you a prophet?"
