We started the day (2/7/13) uncertain as to what we would be doing. I had had online trouble trying to make reservations and so I feared that it would not happen. I had to wait until 11 this morning to call, but when I did I was quickly able to confirm our original plan. During the day my wife took the car to have our headlamp replaced as we found that it had worn out. She also got the oil changed and new wiper blades. I got my office work up to date (sort of) and we got prettied up and left before 5. We took Trax uptown and had a really wonderful meal. (Trax-$9.40 food $110.00 w/a generous tip[our most expensive meal of the week, but the best--it was really scrumptious and as much as I ate it didn't spike my blood #]). Then we went over to the 'square' and saw the temple model (per Sherri) and then into the tabernacle for the choir practice (not chiropractor, Sheila will need to do that soon-next Monday)) where we just relaxed as best we could with full bellies and very hard benches. We actually spent almost 2 hours there listening to the orchestra and choir rehearse. I,m not sure how much Sheila enjoyed it (hard benches mostly), but I was quite immersed in the music. Seeing the antics of actual people singing was a little bit different from seeing them during conference on tv. It was really cold, but our wait not too bad for our ride home. We only got hit up once for a 'motel 6 donation' by a guy and his 'wife'. We made it home (with good headlights) by 10:30 and I proceeded to stay up until almost 2 watching the 2 BYU ball games on tape delay (1-1). We did sleep in until 8:15 this morning and my first chore when I got into my office was to check up on Cortney's game. I found that I could have watched it on 'live-stream' if I had been home last night. Then I looked at the score and saw that I only missed seeing Cortney doing very, very well in a most lopsided game (72-23!!) I called upstairs and told Sheila and she just said that it was because she wasn't there that Cortney played so well. (humbug!) Saw that a young sister in our ward got called to serve in Japan. Now we have a whole day ahead of us with no firm plans yet. But we will do something (sorry Shelli, no bowling! and we also decided against that couples massage.) So far we have enjoyed quite a week, and we have 2 more days to go.
